Your money shapes your life. How you earn, save, spend, and invest affects everything – from daily stress levels to long-term security and freedom. Everyone wants to live comfortably, plan for the future, and make the most of what they have.

I’m Karl Matchett, The Independent’s Business and Money Editor, and my goal is to help you make your money work harder, understand the financial world, and spot what’s worth your time and investment.

Whether it’s savings, mortgages, or the latest government announcements, my weekly Independent Money newsletter breaks down the facts, covering everything from the best ways to grow your savings and avoiding financial pitfalls, to how the latest government announcements, interest rate changes or business trends affect your finances.

The newsletter also gives you exclusive access to Gabriel Nussbaum – better known as That Money Guy – who answers readers’ questions and shares actionable tips for managing money more effectively.
