He talked through why saving is so important, and explained some ways to make it easier even if you’re spending all your money on smashed avocado on toast. Eve is a super saver, and has successfully saved for loads of big things including a car, a house and a wedding. She gives Bea some of her top tips for saving, even while on a tight budget. Kalpana explores the question we all want the answer to: How much should we actually be saving every month? She also clarifies some need to know terms, including ISA and interest rate.
