Hello Magpies, What a soggy week! We hope you're all staying safe in the inclement weather - and what better way to ride out the rainy nights than to check out our brand new e-book, Everything You Need to Know About Pensions. It's available on Amazon Kindle or Kindle Unlimited (hint: if you haven't tried Kindle Unlimited yet, you can claim a one month trial to check out the book totally free!). And make sure you then check out our guide to understanding your pension statements. While we're on the topic of saving for our future, did you know that UK savers miss out on $6.9bn a year? If you need to save more cash and want a side hustle like making extra money from the Wicked phenomenon, make sure you know about the recent HMRC tax changes that could affect you, too. While you're studying your financial situation, remember to make sure you know about upcoming changes to credit scores, too! And of course we have our usual brilliant competitions, deals like 99p Audible including £10 credit and 50% off VistaPrint, and freebies like the Open University short
courses available for everyone. That's it for this week - happy reading! Vicky Parry Editor-in-Chief, MoneyMagpie
