Released every Wednesday, Money Confidential is a place for you to share the everyday money problems which are affecting your life and relationships. Those who come on will receive expert guidance and discuss tangible solutions with experts in their field, as well as Telegraph columnists offering their tuppence.
This week we are tackling the issue of adult children living at home; a growing phenomenon due to the soaring cost of housing, with one in five households now including an adult child.
It can work brilliantly for some families, but for others like Mark, it can cause toe-curling financial disagreements.
On the episode we also hear from financial adviser Lisa Conway Hughes, who provides practical tips to not only Mark and his daughter, but anyone facing difficult money conversations as a result of being part of a multi-generational household.
We are also joined by Telegraph columnist Micheal Deacon, who has approved a rather unconventional method of getting adult children to leave home…
What do you think? Would you move back in with your parents or in-laws, or let your adult children live at home? And what do you think of Mark’s situation? Do you have any pearls of wisdom for him?
Send me an email or a voice note to moneyconfidential@telegraph.co.uk with your thoughts.
Next week we’ll be discussing the topic of financial jealousy as I visit a lady who’s struggling with her wealthier siblings going skiing and leaving her out. And I discover that there may be another problem brewing beneath the surface…
On this episode I’ll be joined by money psychotherapist Vicky Reynal, who’ll provide her expert input, as well as an expert in ADHD and money management, plus Telegraph columnist Celia Walden.
And in more episodes coming soon, we’ll hear from a young mum agonising over whether private school will be worth the huge financial sacrifice, as well as a businesswoman who confesses how earning her first million pounds made her miserable.
And finally, I am looking for people to appear on future episodes, so if you’ve got something to get off your chest or you need some advice, send me your money dilemma by filling in my contact form below.
