Cash Chats UK Money & Personal Finance podcast #152 Are Premium Bonds worth it?
A staggering 21 million people currently hold at least one Premium Bond, with the total fund approaching £100 billion! But with a recent cut to the prize rate, and therefore a smaller chance of winning, are they worth it? Or can they actually beat easy-access saving rates elsewhere?
To discuss all this I'm joined by my friend Helen Saxon, who also happens to be the Banking Editor for Money Saving Expert.
