In this episode of the Money Gains Podcast we welcome financial advisor and content creator Rotimi Merriman-Johnson (Mr MoneyJar) back to the show.

We dive deep into the UK's current economic crisis and why even those earning in the global top 1% (£45,000+) are struggling to make ends meet in modern Britain.

This episode looks at some potentially controversial solutions from wealth taxes to regional economic restructuring, as well as practical ways to build both monetary and non-monetary wealth during these challenging times.
