A free ‘midlife MOT’ course has been launched aimed at people who want to do a stock take of their current finances, career and health.

This is an idea championed by the finance industry and government. But is it any good?

Investments and pensions editor Tanya Jefferies undertook the course by finance giant Legal & General and the Open University and tells Georgie Frost and Lee Boyce of her experience.

NS&I has doubled the rates on its green bonds – are they still missing the mark or is the boost good for eco-conscious savers?

The Power of Attorney system has come in for plenty of slack this week with the ‘creaking’ system said to be in desperate need of improvement. What can be done and why is it important?

Could you, or someone you know, be entitled to a social broadband tariff which could save hundreds on an annual internet bill?

And finally, Lee goes into detail about This is Money’s new retro revival series – with the first cash in the attic style subject in focus being video games, and more specifically Nintendo and its late 90s N64 console.
