In our Question Time podcast, Martin Lewis gives you answers on anything and everything, including: an explainer on what the best way is to stooze - in other words, how to I get money from a 0% credit card to save it and maximise the gain. Martin answers a question about the best saving account options for a 17yr old. A caller asks if they will lose Child Benefit if they only earn over the limit for some of the year. Discover the advice Martin gives a parent who is nervous of giving their 18 year old a credit card for a first trip abroad. He also explains what alternatives are around. And finally, make sure you listen to the end to find out who, in the week of Martin’s birthday, we get as a surprise special guest last caller… If you want to ask Martin a question, you now can!
