Coming up on Digit. I was walking out the door and my brother just, he just stuck the hat on me, handed me to Daniels and went. Good luck, kid. And out I went. I mean, Bono is completely baffled in the news. I said to him, can you take your shirt off? We just need to measure between your nipples. And he went, okay? We did it. In the middle of the table, charging was my special commas dog toy.

Oh, no.

0:26.3

All of that right after this.

Digit is sponsored by Starling, the bank that helps you organise your money, build great habits and stay in control of your spending.

We talk a lot on this show about how a great garden starts with a bit of a plan and the right environment.

0:49.7

Well, money is the same. It's not just about what you have. It's about being intentional with it. How we choose to spend, save and plan. That's what really shapes the way we live. That is so true. Being good with money isn't about being perfect. It's about building a relationship with your finances that actually works for you and your life. And that's what Stalin is all about. They believe that with the right tools, anyone can grow those healthy habits. One habit I found so helpful is separating your spending.

1:16.9

It's that peace of mind of knowing exactly what's for the bills, what's for the fun stuff, and what's

1:22.5

actually left over. And that's the tool that Starling offers in their app. They call it Spaces.

1:26.5

It's basically a pot of money sitting within your Starling current accounts kept separate from your main balance. So you're never dipping into the wrong pot by accidents. I desperately need one for the garden. Anyone who knows me knows my plant budget can get, well, a little out of hand. Exactly. And you can even create free virtual debit cards linked to each space. So you can only

ever spend what you've planned to making life that little bit easier. Search Starling to find out more.

Good with money starts here. Digit is sponsored by Alzheimer's Society. Joe, I had no idea that

1:59.7

every three minutes in the UK, someone

develops dementia. Every three minutes, that's someone's parent, partner, best friend.

2:08.3

I know it's such a shocking statistic. And when you actually stop and think about it, it means

2:12.6

that so many of us have been touched by dementia in some way or will be. And it doesn't just affect the person

2:18.5

living with a condition. It can turn a whole family's life upside down. Yeah, absolutely. There's

2:23.9

the confusion, the changes in behaviour and of course, wanting to understand what's happening.

2:29.8

It could be so frightening and often people feel like they have to face it alone.

2:38.0

That's why it's so important that charities like Alzheimer's Society exist. They're the UK's leading dementia charity and the only one tackling every part of it.

2:43.0

Not only do they give vital support to people living with dementia and their loved ones,

2:47.0

they also fund groundbreaking research and campaign to make dementia the

priority it absolutely should be. Because dementia isn't just a normal part of aging, it's caused
