Hello and welcome to the cunningly named The Martin Lewis Podcast. I do wonder what that's

going to be about. And this is our question time pod, in which I answer your questions about

absolutely anything and everything within reason. And the questions you asked me this week are,

Martin, is it time to stick my cash under the mattress to stop it being taxed, or is that just too

cynical? Should I give my eight-year-old a credit card? Car finance, I'm thinking of complaining,

but if a complaint, can that jeopardise my current

car finance agreement? How exactly does the marriage tax allowance work? And will the changes in the

Isa that are predicted for the budget affect the money I've already got in one? Plus, you also

asked me, what did I have for tea last night? Well, I did say you could ask

absolutely anything and everything. Play the theme tune.

So welcome to ask me I got to feed So I'm going to make sure everybody is So welcome to this episode of Martin's money question time

Where you get to ask me questions on anything and everything within reason

And the curator and decider and grand pooh bar

Of what questions I am going to be asked is with me now.

I'm building his role. I'm not quite sure why. Welcome podcast producer Matt.

It's funny, isn't it? I welcome you podcast producer, Matt, but you're actually the producer of the podcast.

Arguably, you should be welcoming me. How does it work? What's the etiquette?

I think, I think, well, it's your podcast, isn't it? So you welcome me onto your podcast. However, what I will say is a lot of emails are coming through. Hello, Matt. I know. It's just, it's getting, I'm going to have to have words with the baddest of me. We had a wonderful podcast when Michael was doing it last time, I have to say. And Michael was self-effacingly asking for help in broadcasting and what the tips of broadcasting were. But you, Matt, you're already overconfident, but you are rather good at it. So, and I like working with you. So let's just get on and do some questions. Thank you very much. Yes. Let's start with a question from Lou. Yeah. Hi, Martin. I'm seriously thinking about putting Hi, Martin, no. This one was tweeted.

Okay. Yes, let's start with a question from Lou. Hi, Martin. I'm seriously thinking about putting...

Yeah, hi Martin. Note. Hi Martin. This one was tweeted, so it wasn't actually emailed. So my point still stands.

Hi, Martin. I'm seriously thinking about putting any extra cash under my mattress because I feel it will be taken or taxed if I do anything else.
