Financial guru Martin Lewis is urging anyone over 40 to have an 'unpleasant issues' chat with loved ones.
In his latest MSE newsletter, Martin shared how an experience has been 'seared' into his memory when a a group of women aged between 40 and 50 came to him asking for advice after their partners had died. He is now urging others to be prepared financially and let loved ones know what to expect.
Martin said: "Three women once came up to me after a talk. It's a while ago now, but it's still vividly seared into my memory. All were in their 40s to 50s. They weren't together, but one after another, each told me they'd very recently lost their husbands and were desperate: "I'm in dire straits, where do I start?"
