Racial & Financial Inequality with Ken Okoroafor of The Humble Penny
This is an important episode of the podcast, I reckon. Today I'm chatting with Ken Okorafor of The Humble Penny, one of my favourite UK Personal Finance YouTube channels and blogs. I reached out to Ken for input after the murder of George Floyd by police officers in the US, and the global outcry following it.

None of us likes to think of the prospect of not being able to look after ourselves. It honestly does feel like we come full-circle, from being dependent on our parents, to being fully independent as adults, only to become dependent on others again as our health fails. Not a cheery subject for today's show! But many of you listening to this will be thinking about this already, and many more will be approaching this stage for your parents, and as much as we'd like not to think about it, we do need to be prepared for action if the time comes.
