How has Martin Lewis' advice helped you? 👇
I wish but, not at all 😔 as I am 0 with financial understanding! Old, depressed, lonely, going blind and with no help! Since I divorced from a psychopath, i just wait to drop dead!
BTW, i have stopped to pay E-on about 2 years ago, after they started helping themselves through my D D freely without telling me and, while my gas was switched off,
I keep getting , every weekend?, this last weekend 6 , big letters of menacing abuses just to make my weekend?? They are giving me a nervous breakdown! etc..long story..
I keep telling them, Take me to court...
Do you think that Martin could help me?
Thanks.🙏🤗
I reckon Martin Lewis, Alvin Hall (liked his mention early in the vid) and the Motley Fool book were together responsible for me having paid off my mortgage at 39 and "retired" at 49., mainly through avoiding mistakes rather than claiming back. Thanks Martin
It’s helped him immensely, he’s a smart multimillionaire and works for the government. If he didn’t work for them he would have been silenced and censored a very long time ago like others have. I don’t trust a word he says, or British Bull$hit Corporation.
@@dahliacoles4372 I’m really sorry to hear about your situation, Your not alone ! Please try and reach out to your local council and your doctor … Just explain your Situation to them and you will get some kind of help ❤
I have been so far down i couldn’t see a way out … But as soon as i started reaching out for help i slowly clawed my way back … I hope you can feel better soon ❤
We claimed back for ourselves, our parents and older relatives where mis-selling occurred. We question every renewal bill no matter how minor. We switch everything. We join campaigns where vulnerable people are taken advantage of. We don’t follow his website or shows religiously but he has given us the ideas and opportunities to think and act for ourselves. Thank you Martin.
I have a ten, nearly 11 year old boy. I left his abusive father two years ago (who is now playing Disney dad). I have so little money, I'm utterly exhausted, my landlord has given me a no fault eviction notice because he wants to sell. I'm not in a good place at all mentally. I have thought today that perhaps my son would be better off without me, he could just go and have a lovely life with his rich dad and his step siblings
But listening to the pain in this man's voice when he was talking about the death of his mother has made me realise that I really do need to stay alive. So I will, and maybe one day life will be easier than it is now
You did a great and very brave thing for yourself and boy by getting out of that situation. You should be proud of yourself and I really hope things work out for you💓
Sending hugs.
Keep breathing.
And your child is now old enough to understand when you say that you can’t afford to do some things. And to have sensible discussions about what to do about different options. So he feels like he has some power in the little family. Small decisions that at this stage don’t have a level of risk associated, because that is age appropriate. But this can grow as he grows. You become a team and work together. Even if it starts with we can have pudding this week, shall we have ice cream or cake. And he can take responsibility for some chores but give him a bit of autonomy on when they are done (but no choice about doing them!) . So don’t interrupt him when he’s in the middle of something to make him vacuum….. but he knows that’s his job and it has to be done X times in a month. Help him figure out when to fit that round what else is going on for both of you. Build the team. Really hope you can work together to move forward. Best of luck.
Your landlord has to take you to court and it can take over six months which gives you time to make plans. The shelter website has details and could support you can apply for council housing. CAB are also very good. Namaste 🙏
You'll look back one day in the near future and be so happy and proud. Also your kid needs you more than they need any wealth. ❤
My son is almost 9, when he was 4 month old his abusive sperm donor snapped the hyoid bone in my neck almost killing me, he went on the run for 6 months in that time he terrorised me, posted indecent pictures of me online and threatened to petrol bomb my home when we slept. He was finally caught and got 3 years served just 18 months in prison. He's not bothered to know my son since he was 4 months old. We don't have much, I work but the cost of living makes things tough. I talk openly with my son about money, what things cost. I give him an allowance that he can spend or save, we budget together, go thrift shopping together and come up with fun ways to make extra money. This year he wants to grow sunflowers and sell them from the garden to save for a trip to Ireland. My son understands the value of money so when he spends it he's more careful and appreciates things more. Teach your son to understand money, you, like me, may not be able to provide our sons with money but we can teach them young to understand it which in the long term is going to have way more value than all the toys and trips he goes on with his dad. Things may seem tough right now, but believe me when I say I've been under many a dark cloud in my life and always, eventually, the clouds part and the sun comes beaming through. You've got love and ultimately that's all your son will ever need from you. Don't give up. There is help out there, don't be afraid to ask for it. Everyone needs help sometimes. 🙏
if only our politicians had the same ethics as martin lewis we would live in a better and farer country , brilliant interview ,carry on martin !
“Government” dont work on your/my behalf though… They work on behalf of the companies who exploit us. They literally farm us….. Martin is bang on, GET EDUCATED on finance, Money creation, etc and more importantly educate your kids from an EARLY age where they can begin to understand it, IN A STYLE that they can understand.
It's because in so called "real world" Martin Lewis and such people are looked at like the kid who reminds the teacher about the homework. I've to say I have been guilty of the same. There times when people in my past jobs tried to make me do the right thing but I did not listen because it meant more work for me. This podcast was very sobering to me. I'll do my best to do better.
And Gary Stevenson
Wait, you're saying the UK politicians have ethics? Well I never!
@@ronnieplonk lol no good guys there? Not even one?
Martin Lewis is a proper hero for the working class and middle class in the UK. The big finance companies and credit providers etc must hate him. If only we could have some people like him in parliament.
Yet he votes conservative
Go figure.
I looked that up. One article said he was Lib Dem until 24, now a floating voter.
He was rejected from House of Lords as a cross bench peer.
wake up! he's in it for the money.
I totally agree with you, if Martin had gone down a different road before he started the Money saving expert, If he decided at that point he may well have decided to be a politician, & if he had he would have made an excellent chancellor, & he would have been a very fair chancellor for the people Not the party! I’m not sure which party he would have joined at that time, or he may have started his own party, now there’s a thought 💭…..
What a truly amazing man. It brings home, just how corrupt and dysfunctional our political leaders really are. He alone is setting a world-class moral example.

Doesn't take much to impress you...
😂@@Humanity101-zp4sq
Advice like his should be taught from a young age in schools. He does more for the people than any prime minister we have had.
Only when politicians stop burning/banning kids books such as Roald Dahl's works and start educating themselves will things change or else our kids will continue to receive sub par education
You think the government wants to give this information to kids at school?
People need to learn schools are there to train kids to run on the hamster wheel.
I would say it is almost on purpose that it isn't. Imagine what happens to the markets if everyone is very financially savvy?
Rishi the ex banker does not care about us, he is driven by money just look at the contracts the goverment has given to his inlaws. ?

My son runs a stag & hen company along with a partner. When covid lock down hit, he contacted all of the clients who had paid for their special fun weekend and spelt out what they as a company were going to do.
He told them that this situation won't last forever, but you can have all your money back right away, or if you want to leave it with them, it would be perfectly safe.
They have gone on to great things as they were just as straightforward with their suppliers as well!
I am incredibly proud of his business acumen to create trust throughout troubling times!
Martin is not alone in this constant battle with greedy rip-off companies.
wow ..not every1 is like that ....sure he will do well people just want honesty these days
I as a consumer respect decency and value. I don’t think it’s too much to ask. Your son deserves success but unfortunately being decent doesn’t always work. We live in a world of corruption and evil.
That is a good man, a good human being, trust worthy, best of luck for the future
Some years ago I remember Martin Lewis saying "don't trust the banks, treat them like the enemy ". I have always followed his advice and it has stood me in good stead. Also I claimed four thousand pounds mis sold PPI back from the bank from following his advice.
I would just like to say thank you to Martin.

This guy is a legend, and I feel like the best from him is still yet to come. He is primed to be one of the biggest heroes the UK has ever seen
In my dream democracy, he's in.
He is a shyster who would sell you out at the whiff of £.
@@MrDirkles this is the biggest confirmation possible that you have trust issues
@@MrDirkles Most shysters do no good. Is ML the best shyster ever?
Hope he has his cape come April
Martin's free information has honestly saved myself thousands of pounds over the years. A national treasure which won't be recognised until he stops.
I moved to the UK in 2019 as a young adult who had never had a full time job, never saved money, never invested, didn't know a thing about how UK tax or insurance worked. Thanks to MSE, I learnt everything. Now almost 5 years on, I have ISA's, savings, pensions etc. I don't think I would be in this comfortable position if it wasn't for his content.

Shame we can't talk him into getting involved in politics.
@chrispitchforth621 Watch GARY WATERMAN CRITICAL , to bring down all the corrupt politicians and tax system, international fraud and more, loads of evidence. Help him out please
@@chrispitchforth621he would never last in politics. Even labour wouldn't want him near the place. The whole place is so insanely corrupt and geared towards protecting the 1% it's unbelievable. In the last 15 years we have had two major bail outs aimed at protecting the top 1% and now our schools, healthcare system, armed forces and law and order are completely on their knees.
Imagine how great the UK could be with a like minded group of people in charge. We would be unstoppable.
wow, this made me cry. So much of what Martin said I can relate to. I have been single for 31yrs, I just cant bring myself to trust anyone anymore.I live with my dog and just hate being around the general public, yet I converse with people well, I simply cant be doing with drama and BS, there's so much of it around. Thank you Martin, I feel like I,m not on my own in my head and others do feel the same as I
Just wanted to say thank you to Martin Lewis for everything he does for people. It is so appreciated!
He never mentions the biggest fraud ever committed by parliament upon the people.
Money creation and the fraudulent banking system.
He has never mentioned that banks do not lend their money, and that theres no such thing as a bank deposit, and that you are actually lending the bank your money.
He is a gate keeper who made £24 million out of his consumer company, that any basic solicitor could of done.
For the truth about banking see, Pro Richard Werner
@@JohnSmith-vy4lh But what he has said, has been a very great help too many people and he has been able to change government policy for the better by his honesty and campaigning. Focus on the positive you will feel much better.
@@neilmarshall2315 Yes lets just forget the massive fraud perpetrated upon the British people by this and successive governments.
A fraud that make millions of lives much much harder unnecessarily.
See: Money creation and the society debate in UK parliament 2014.
Notice in this debate how few mps are there, just like the vaccine injury debate this year.
My energy supplier recently told me that I - currently paying a quarter of my terrifyingly low income to cover their obscene rates despite my hot water being turned off and my home being so cold I can see my breath - don't qualify for financial assistance because I've gone without everything to make sure I stay in credit with them. I'm so grateful there are people like Martin Lewis in the world.
I'm in a very similar place living on small work pensions. Have turned off my gas no heating at all for 2 years no hot water. Sold my oven. Not yet state pensionable age never claimed anything before, worked all my life in care, social work and teaching but because I get no benefits not on state pension im not entitled to any support now.
Hope Martin Lewis lives a long healthy life. Keep fighting, we need you.
During the ppi claim issue, I was sceptical until listening to Martin, so I sent my form in.... Even now years on, I am so grateful. Not only did I get £4000 back but 2 weeks later I got another £4000 back & when I contacted the bank to say I think you've made a mistake & paid twice.... They said it was the interest I would have accrued that they owed as well... 😮. At the time my car was in its last legs & I needed structural work done to my home.... The relief was palpable.
The more I see of Mr Lewis the more I admire his directness and his integrity. Two things that have been missing from governments for decades.
👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾
Ditto !
❤ Aww Martin Lewis, I cried 😢 hearing you talk about your mum whom you lost at a young age and the 11 year old boy who became an orphan. I admire your strength and compassion. You so deserve happiness. Keep smiling 😊

My late mother used to say. “you cannot build happiness on the misery of others” Martin understands this very well. I truly courageous honourable man. The system we live in regularly builds on the misery of us all.
Money is a tool that does make life more comfortable gives reassurance and ability to do more. We’re all striving to do.
Well the bigger picture is, England robbed everyone out there and no ow don’t want folk to come here to work to better themselves, we had no right robbing everyone, there’s no if or but, alcohol is one of the biggest curse here
@@imykhan6912 What you call "robbing everyone", England is actually robbing its own way more than everyone else...
Give that man a knighthood. He is the epitome of honour, honesty, integrity, kindness and devotion to care of the less fortunate. Big hugsxxx.
They already did. He was granted an OBE in 2014 and a CBE in 2022 👍
Not enough. Tell Labour to put him in the House of Lords, then give him the ministerial brief.
One condition, we need rottweiller Dominic Cummings at his side to take on the Civil Service.
Without that threat, Martin has shown his vulnerabilty, he cares. He would be eaten alive by the Sir Humphries.
One hell of a good man imagine if 50% of the worlds politicians were like this what a great world we would have to live in .
Where much is given, much is required. The fact you have a brain for business and marketing is a great fortune especially when it is coupled with a high sense of integrity. Your desire for truth to be revealed is exceptional in this day. A new Robin Hood for Britain is finally helping the under dog. Thank you for choosing to stand up.

I have (complex) PTSD, recurrent depression, cult survivor and lots of childhood trauma. Had 6 years of therapy and still struggle with my mental health. Martin Lewis' account of PTSD rings very true to me - so refreshing to see someone honestly talking about this stuff. Martin for PM!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. We need Martin to investigate the supermarkets. ESPECIALLY TESCO. They have been price fixing and ripping off millions of people on daily basis. The CMA have said they can’t act as they already allowed tesco to buy bookers wholesalers. 4 years this has been ongoing. How is it cheaper to buy from tesco than tesco owned wholesaler that used to compete with tesco ?
Thank you! I came here to say this myself!
Indeed - it's completely rigged, like so many things including our complete political system.
They’re all at it, I’ve gone from Morrison’s to Tescos because Morrisons is a lot dearer than Tesco’s. Tesco’s is the cheapest at the moment for me.

Truth
"No one is interested in money stuff, they're interested in their money stuff!" So true!
Martin Lewis is one of the most honest and honourable people I have ever come across, thank you sir.
Genuinely in tears hearing the story about the templates being sent to banks. Heartbreaking how we take advantage of the vulnerable.
I used Martin's template, ended up getting near £6000 from the Halifax! Thanks Martin.
If every community had a person like Martin Lewis the world would be a better place. You don’t need to be perfect, simply try your very best.
Martin, listening to you brought me to tears. To know that there is someone who has a conscience and being in a position as you are, to have such profound understanding of how the other half live and battle problems in their lives. Yes, maybe you are God to some of us 😢 ❤
What a great interview and my respect for Martin Lewis just keeps growing.
The comment of the 90 year old lady and the kettle sums up exactly why we should all care. The vulnerable and the old pay through the nose while the knowledgeable have the benefits.
Truly Martin is a truly great and honourable man. I know he never wants to go into politics but politicians should learn this level of integrity, honesty, holding individuals or companies account & most importantly thinking about what the everyday person is facing whether that’s the cost of living, special education in schools and the lack of funding in that area, living with disabilities all of these things that affect the vast majority of the public. This is what Martin campaign for not only the financial aspects. But be equal for society and raising the issues that impact us that the political parties are not addressing and haven’t been since austerity.
So those who are thinking of going into politics or are in politics. Take note of why we admire what Martin’s done, and maybe take a leaf out of his book.
This guy does what our politicians never will - cares about injustice
Oh they do care about injustice! Just listening to how they bleat about how unfairly the are being treated!
Thank you YT algorithm for offering me this interview.
Really good.
Martin Lewis is a truly wonderful person. He is trusted. He figures out all the complicated stuff so that mere mortals like me can understand. He is a “god” of finance.
Absolutely fantastic interview. My respect for Mr Lewis only grows the more I learn about him. Sound principles are priceless, and Martin is rife with them.
Martin really is a national treasure. He is the purest guy with the purest intentions and honestly, I trust him wholeheartedly. When I tell my parents "we should do xyz, I've weighed up the options and this is the best course" all I have to say is "Martin said we should do it this way", and that's it, they trust it, they trust me to handle it, and they trust it's in our best interest because it's come from Martin Lewis. Martin is now at a David Attenborough level of trust and respect. He is inherently trustworthy and has proven that daily.
@rickybojangles162
I wouldn’t trust or respect David Attenborough any more: he’s one of the main props of the “global warming” scam………
Martin has the same ethics as my stepdad who taught me the same ethics and I'm grateful for my stepdads raising and teaching. I pass the teaching on to my children and thankfully they have a choice to decide what to do everyday. 😊
It takes a great man to take a chance and invest in someone else's children. Great to know his legacy will pass on to multiple generations.
Martin, you are a rare human being, honest, kind with empathy for other people. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the good you have done for so many.
That is one of the best podcasts i have seen ,Martin is such a class act and a credit to this country we live in ,

A man of substance and morals. I took allot from this. Full Respect Brother 👏
Genuine, VERY genuine. So refreshing in this day and age.
Why isn’t martin Lewis our prime minister ?
Coz he's not an idiot
Coz he's honest..........
I reckon this fella has had time option to sell out, to be quiet. I'm sure they want him silenced but by the looks and sound of it, he is still honest and giving good advice. Fair play to him
This man overflows with integrity.
Martin has a beautiful soul ! Thank you .
I love how candid and empathetic he was in this interview. Very relatable and when he was reflecting on worrying about his behaviour towards others in the past etc it really resonated with me, I often feel anxious about things like that. Never heard anyone put it so well. This interview is further proof that he is a very sound person - I admire him even more now 🙌👏 Thank you HP
Guilty about feeling happy. I’ve been there. I stayed there for over a decade. I felt I had no right, no business being happy or wanting to smile. I checked myself every time. That really resonated.
Never feel guilty about being happy. I can understand that feeling I once was there myself. Life is so short, we all deserve to feel happiness at some points of our life and when we do. We know we have worked to get there. Hope your still happy
@MsBarb1968
Yes; being happy helps us to support those around us who are struggling.
😊😊😊
at risk of sounding over dramatic, I struggle to think of anyone who has had a bigger impact in my financial life than Martin Lewis... when I was 16 we were shown his video explaining student loans, and how they arent traditional loans, and should be feared a lot less. That video changed my way of thinking, and was the deciding factor for me deciding to go to uni. When I got to uni, his money saving tips and bank switching advice helped me make enough to afford the cost of living, and now, Martins advice on savings accounts v ISA v premium bonds has helped me make decisions that have resulted in THOUSANDS in interest payments and growth. I am now almost in a position to put a deposit on a starter home. His friendly and accessible aproach to finances gave me the confidence to educate myself even further, and I now consider myself to be quite financially literate. I look forward optimistically to my future and its all thanks to Martin Lewis. Huge respect.
What a formidable human you are Martin. As someone working in finance, Martin inspires me to help friends and family understand the complexities of personal finance. So satisfying to see others be financially better off
I’ve been waiting for the full episode because I have loved Martin Lewis for years. I first heard him on The Jeremy Vine Show as a regular guest and just gelled with him, I can’t explain why nor does it matter.
I don’t always follow his advice because it doesn’t always fit my circumstances but he has helped me out of some scraps to which I am very thankful.
Due to my failure to acknowledge the red flags presented to me by my now ex I am paying off debt through a charity. I wouldn’t have even known that was possible if I hadn’t of heard it from Martin. I still have a way to go but it gave me hope when I had none.
Yes I did that too when I had debt left by my late son. I am now debt free.
What an amazing man and for being honest, humble and sharing your life with us. I did identify with some of what you said, and still challenged now . He has helped me think that maybe i could attempt to get over trauma and not being able to go out on my own .
On being successful, my careers advisor in school always told the story of the fisherman who lived on a beach... he meets a rich american tourist one day and the tourist asks him what his typical days like...
the fisherman says: I wake up, I fish until I've caught enough to eat, usually about noon and then I spend the rest of my day with my kids, I go for a walk, read a book and then get ready for the next day...
the tourist says: well... if you fished the whole day, caught enough fish to sell, make enough mony eventually to buy your own boat... then you can catch more fish, buy another boat and after 30 years you could sell the company and retire... then you could get up in the morning, catch enough fish to eat, play with your kids, go for a walk, read a book and take it easy...
people have a habit of paying for what they already have, try not to pay what you cant afford
Love this, thanks for sharing 💙
Wouldn’t his kids be grown up after 30 years ?
Beautiful story. Sums it all up.
@@user-hf4ix6ky9fthat's the moral of the story. A lot of people are going down this route which is also very sad and don't even try to have kids until they are well in their 30's. Aside from the fertility risk you also end up raising kids when your knackered yourself and they don't get the energy and interaction they crave at a young age.
Give a man a fish he eats for a day give him a rod he eats and feeds his family and teaches his kids fishing n hunting instead of x box n UA-cam ,
What an amazing individual Martin is. I really admire his passion for helping people.
Magnificent empathic, compassionate, high morality man and human being, Respect!
Complex, nuanced, intelligent. And real interesting guy. Clearly is interested in helping people. More power to him.
Common decency is the epitome of high performance. Thank you, Martin Lewis, for being an accountable member of society by being another passionate fighter for human decency.
I'm a teacher. Schools are falling apart. Many teachers take on second jobs/ income streams in the UK to survive. I'm a single parent & can't afford to give much, but I always give as much as I can. I am very lucky that instead of having to sell second-hand items, I am able to give them away. That gives me endless happiness. I am lucky that every year, I can afford to take my son & I off for a one week static caravan holiday in Northumberland. I am lucky that if my class needs a resource to learn, if it's under £5 out of my monthly pay, I can afford to buy the resource that helps to educate our future.
I am also fallible & unkind to myself. I eat to cope with my emotions. Healthy food is too bloody expensive at the moment, so I eat cheap shit food. I love making my own bread. I cook from scratch, but I also consume too much highly addictive ultra processed foods - how on earth is selling that shit legal...
Grief - at any age for any reason is a tough gig. The guilt for feeling happy can be overwhelming but is an essential part of processing your grief. I wonder if that guilt is felt more acutely by decent people?
Martin is so right about trust. It means everything, and shortcuts should never be considered when building a business. many people rave about Alan Sugar and Alan himself bigs himself up about his early business with AMSTRAD, the reality is that many people dont like how he got there, not because he is rich but because he peddled some absolute junk products under the AMSTRAD brand. As a product designer my pride alone wouldnt let me design poor quality products so I for one beleive in the trust that must be at the forefront of every business.
The World needs 500 million of this Man. We are here but We don't speak up? Why are WE so scared?
We have all been indoctrinated into a system to follow the governments and proper Ganda. Martin is aware if this, he has a voice to be able to speak out and that’s why he’s doing this.
One of the best interviews ive even watched.
Agree 💯% about trust, it always cracks me up when I hear politicians say we have to regain the trust of the voters, thereby intimating that at some point in the past voters trusted politicians 🤔. IMHO trust along with respect have to be earned. Martin Lewis should be the UK prime minister.
Absolutely love Martin. He’s an ethical man. He is exposing how the world is built on exploitation. But he’s taking on some powerful forces so I fear for him also. Can you imagine how different our country and our people would be if we had someone like Martin as our prime minister? Or even Martin himself!!
What an exceptional man. This was extremely moving, Martin is a credit to himself. He stands as testament to how we should overcome adversity and empower others around us, not for ulterior motives but because it is simply the right thing to do.
I'm here just to say that Martin Lewis is amazing :)
Genuinely, the best episode I've seen
Martin Lewis is the modern Robin Hood! He is a real legend. What a guy!
Amazing. Even more respect for Martin after watching this.
So commendable! I wish there would be more people like you, Martin, in the Financial and Journalism world!
Love the book solution! This is the first time in 57 yrs of life that someone has said what I feel, made up! And the genre is exactly right! Particulary SciFi for me, Hats off again Martin. Top man!
Best podcast episode i have ever listened to. Genuinely
I bought my house because the PPI claimed back cleared my loan. Thank you Martin❤
What a brilliant conversation. I overcame my shyness and anxiety by becoming a nightclub DJ. And then I also became involved with sales. I think it worked.
Martin you are one of the most inspirational people in the UK and this message is from an Orphan who is diagnosed with CPTSD, I do not know you however my message is simple and that is Thank You for all that you do for mental health and the Vulnerable ❤ 😊
This man has the biggest heart of anyone on this planet. He has a soul. He cares, he truly cares. I'm one of the people he talked about, elderly, onset dementia and yes, life is difficult. Thank you Martin for being the wonderful, beautiful person that you are. Thank you ❤
Martin Lewis is a hero of common sense, and we need more people like him. I personally use his site all the time, and his honest and unbiased coverage on various different topics, not just money but also lifestyle changes, is an incredible asset, and shouldn't be undervalued enough.
Dear Martin Lewis, I hope this message finds you and finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for your incredible act of kindness in saving my life. Your decisive actions through your templates to take the banks to court were nothing short of heroic, and I am forever indebted to you.Your templates and guidance not only rescued me from a dire situation but totally turned my life around . I then went on to debt council others through CAP money. Today I am very happy and very successful. Many years have passed since the time I sued the banks but your act of kindness will never be forgotten, and I am profoundly grateful for everything you have done for me.Please know that your actions have made a significant impact on my life and I will always hold you in the highest regard.
.With heartfelt appreciation, Geoff Gourd
well that was worth watching at 4am not been able to sleep so rather than a film I thought listen to you guys Martin is worth listening too honest so thank you.
Liberating, God bless you Martin Lewis for all the help, financial, emotional, and generating trust and compassion you have given everyone, me included.
Martin this is a truly great interview and an insight into who you truly are ! Thank you and wish you peace .
He’s a household name and a true leader of the people.
At 28, he’s inspired me - and being amongst a generation that feel lost of hope - I truly want to give back in a way that he does, for the individual.
I always say that nuance is lost in a world so focused on the conformity. It’s the way education works and that is also, flawed.
We truly need to celebrate the individual. We were born this way!
A national treasure - thank you Martin 😊
Damien and Jake I'm sure you were blown away as much as myself and your audience.
What a straight shooter, honest. Wouldn't be great if the government was more influenced.
One of your best interviews thank you!!
My daughter was twelve when she first tied a bow, I fully empathise with Martin at the emotion felt, it really puts life in perspective.
Martin, you and your team have changed my life for the better over and over again for YEARS!
RIP wombling, Weezle and Mr T vouchers!!
Brilliant Podcast... we never really get to know the ppl behind the Headlines... absolutely absorbing watch... really enjoyed it.. Thanks..😊👍
Thankyou for your stories martin. They help in more ways than you know
Great podcast/interview. And Martin’s work and relentless campaigning are an outstanding service to the people and society, but hearing of his personal struggles gives an almost equally important insight into struggles, hard work and perseverance, and the lessons we all can draw from it. Inspiring.
Martin is a beautiful human being . Listening to the boy tieing his shoes laces . I wish we had more Mps with his attitude in government
Keep going Martin Lewis. The UK needs you.
Got to love Martin, he's right, trust cannot be bought.
Martin gives us all hope. Thank you, Martin for working so hard to help us. You are a gem xxx
What a brilliant, beautiful, inspiring listen that was.
I had no idea about Martin and to hear him speak so frankly like this, baring his soul like he did, was nothing short of an honour to hear. Thank you, Martin, for sharing this and thank you, guys for a wonderful podcast. New subscriber here. ❤
A knighthood for this man, sooner rather than later, please. A true people's champion.
Martin Lewis for PM !
I was going to say the same.
That was absolutely incredible very humbling
Thank you Martin for this honest and thought provoking talk, you are a real humanitarian and I wish there were more like you in this world of ours. God bless you and much ❤.
I take my hat off to Martin without hesitation. Reality is the government and the banks of this country needs to be exposed big time. We’re being screwed over beyond belief. What amazes me is that we just carry on accepting the status quo of being shafted left right and centre and at every turn. Working hard for future security has long gone. Now work hard and end up with nothing to show for it!
Martin Lewis is an incredible human being. He is so interesting and has the most amazing mindset. He is an inspiration. Trust was a very interesting listen and he is very right. Makes me wonder how Hermes/Evri became so successful!
His ability to explain complex financial information in a simple way has helped me save and reclaim £1000s over the years Thank you Martin Money saving expert 🙏
We need a man like Martin running the country for sure? He should get in to politics, the people’s party, he would be PM in five years!
Good guy, hope he gets thru his issues. He’s doing great work for the people
