  • My Mate Bought a HOUSE?

    43:39|
    A bonus bit of Toaster for your Monday (you're welcome).Welcome to the first in a new set of bonus episodes where we explore the shopping histories of people who aren't necessarily entertainers.If there's one thing we've learned on this show, it's that financial mayhem and spontaneous shopping makes for great episodes. But is it only comics and actors and showbiz types who spend like idiots and buy ridiculous things?We thought we'd put this to the test, so we invited Mr Brian Byrnes - a real life actual financial adviser - to see what someone's shopping history looks like when they're, you know, sensible. Do they still buy complete nonsense and spend badly like the rest of us?I mean no spoilers but it turns out yep pretty much.Find out more about Moneybox here!We're back on Thursday with Helen Bauer. She's not a financial adviser.Lots of loveTeam Toast
