A light-hearted exploration of the emotional side of money. Many of us have good intentions about getting on top of our financial admin, budgeting better, and saving more, and in theory it sounds so easy. But then real life gets in the way, we're tired or frustrated or busy and somehow everything has slipped again. Money coach, Martha Lawton asks expert guests about how we normal humans can understand our financial behaviour and use that knowledge to manage money in ways that actually work in our messy, complicated lives.

episode 26: 26: Who are you calling vulnerable? Interview with Chris Fitch
In the UK, banks and essential services must offer support to their vulnerable customers, but who even counts as vulnerable? It is just about age, mental and physical health, and disabilities? What about victims of abuse? Or people with addictions? And what support should vulnerable customers expect? Bristol University researcher, Chris Fitch, explains.
We also discussed how people react to the word 'vulnerable' and what that means when you're trying to influence a sector like financial services to do right by everyone, not just the fashionable 'deserving' causes.
