Should you stick your money in Premium Bonds, a savings account or invest?
After a good year for Premium Bonds when the only way was up for the prize fund rate, savers got a blow this week as a cut arrived.
The prize fund rate is being cut to 4.4 per cent from 4.65 per cent.
That edges the average return - which you may or may not get - from Premium Bonds further below the best savings deals, so should you save instead?
Or would many Premium Bond holders be better off investing?
On this podcast episode, Georgie Frost, Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert discuss whether Premium Bonds stack up.
Plus, as the US securities regulator aproves bitcoin ETFs, is the price now headed for $200,000 as some suggest, or could this be enticing more naive investors into the volatile world of crypto that's been dogged by fraud?
Later, Lee reveals his car insurance woes - and shares tips on how to deal with your own renewal quite pain.
And finally, find out who on the podcast team is not drinking for January, who is taking an extremely haphazard approach to it, and who is planning to go all the way to Easter, as we discuss the no and low-alcohol beer boom and the ones we rate the best.
