Gold price hits record high – should you invest in the precious metal? This is Money podcast


Gold has hit record highs this week and has rocketed so far this year. What’s driving the price and how do you invest?

This week, Tanya Jefferies, Georgie Frost and Lee Boyce turn their attention to the precious metal – a notoriously volatile investment, but yet seen as a safe haven.

Energy bills will be back on the up, with the new Ofgem price cap announced for October. Is it worth fixing before the hike comes in?

And one in four are expected to struggle this winter with their energy bills – just as the new Winter Fuel Payment is taken away for millions of households.

We bust some myths on inherited state pension and ask how DWP can be dishing out incorrect information and also question whether annuity deals have peaked.

Plus we run the rule over two juicy reader questions. Firstly, what are your rights if you drunkenly lend money to a friend?

Secondly, what can you do about a property next door being converted into an HMO with six students?
