In a recent podcast episode, Dr. Thomas Mathar, a behavioral economist, discusses the importance of financial wellbeing in the context of a 100-year life. He emphasizes the mental challenges of long-term financial planning, the differences in financial habits between Germany and the UK, and the significance of a healthy money mindset.

Meanwhile, Labour's Finance Minister announced reforms aimed at stimulating growth, with warnings of potential tax increases if progress is not made.
