What do you think they should do? 🎷
Money Moral Dilemma: \"As a school kid, I learned to play the saxophone, passed a few grades and eventually bought my own. When I went to uni, I lost interest and lent it to a family friend who'd make use of it. \u2028Two decades later, I'd like to start playing again - but a similar saxophone now costs at least \u00A3800. I'm still in touch with the friend and know they still have it, so would it be rude to ask for it back? Or is there an unspoken 'statute of limitations' on reclaiming something you lent out years ago?\"

NEWS: Delighted after years of fighting for it, that the Lifetime ISA penalty for those buying a house of £450,000 will be reduced from 25% to 20%. In practice (as you got a 25% bonus when putting money in) this means while you won't get the bonus, you'll get back roughly what you put in plus interest. I've long suggested this and am pleased the Chancellor listened. It means there's no risk to putting money in a LISA if you're definitely going to buy a house. As if you're priced out, and have to go above threshold, you still get your savings and the interest, you just don't get the extra. This will be a great relief to many young people. I'm still checking when it comes in. He has confirmed too that the First Time Buyers replacement will go ahead but that will take a few years I suspect. The LISA will remain for now, and should still be viable even once its closed to new starters. #Budget2026
