On this episode Sarah and Georgia talk about how you can avoid missing out on thousands of pounds of pension income.KEY TAKEAWAYSIf you are a grandparent caring for grandchildren, you could qualify for National Insurance credits which can top up your income in retirement.An estimated 4 in 10 grandparents in the UK provide childcare for their grandchildren and many don't know about this perk which could add thousands to their State Pension over time.More and more grandparents will be entitled to the Specified Adult Childcare credits as the proportion of grandparents who are of working age is growing.The system of transferring the National Insurance credits means that grandparents no longer have to lose out on building up a full State Pension just because they are looking after their grandchildren.It's not just grandparents that can benefit from the credits. National Insurance credits can also be transferred to other family members such as aunties and uncles.If you haven’t yet claimed, you can backdate to 6 April 2011, which is worth doing to maximise your State Pension.For information on Child Benefit, please listen to our podcast episode (episode 11) or visit my blog here.To apply for the Specified Adult Childcare credits click here.BEST MOMENTS'This is really important.''It's not a great image.''Georgia's not having a very good day today.'ABOUT THE HOSTSSarah is a Chartered Financial Adviser and Certified Financial Coach and Georgia is a Senior Paraplanner.

On this episode Sarah and Georgia talk about how much pocket money you should give your child.KEY TAKEAWAYSThere's no right answer here, and it depends on how much you can afford and what you think is reasonable. There have been numerous surveys conducted which give a rough idea of how much parents are giving their children.A survey of NatWest Rooster Money users found that the average weekly pocket money in the UK was £6.14, with £3.21 a week for 4 year olds, increasing to £11.64 a week for 14 year olds.Research from Barclays showed that over two thirds (68%) of parents reward their children with pocket money for doing chores around the home.The research from Barclays suggests that children will receive an average of £7.58 a week this year, up from £6.97 a week last year.The giving of regular pocket money is more important than the amount you decide to give your child.Giving children the opportunity to spend their own money will help them decide how they spend it, when they spend it and whether they want to save it.BEST MOMENTS'What age do you start giving your child pocket money?''Some kind of visual plan with key milestones, which they can tick off along the way, is a great way to demonstrate progress and get your child excited about watching their savings grow.''What's your favourite chore?''There's satisfaction in doing that.''I got a job at 16.''This is on me boys.''You must be a lady of leisure. You have these 2 kids cleaning your house, cleaning your car.'ABOUT THE HOSTSSarah is a Chartered Financial Adviser and Certified Financial Coach and Georgia is a Senior Paraplanner.
