Martin Lewis, the Money Saving Expert, is helping to guide the nation through the cost of living crisis. With his segments on Good Morning Britain, his Money Show and social media, it's no surprise he recently walked away with TV's best expert at the NTAs.
So for parents who wish to use his expertise to help their kids, the Your Money Matters textbook might just do the trick. Written by financial education charity Young Money with guidance from Martin, the Your Money Matters book is designed to help teenagers aged 14 to 16.
It was initially released in 2018, with hundreds of thousands of copies sent to schools across the UK. But the good news is that it's available for free online, and there's never been a better time to share it with the kids to help explain what's going on in the country at the minute.
