The stock markets have been on somewhat of a roller coaster since US president Trump announced global trade tariffs. Listeners emailed Money Box to tell us about the impact of the fall out in their pensions and investments. The advice from the Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association which speaks for pension companies is 'if you still have many years until you retire, you have plenty of time to recover short-term price falls'. But, what happens if you're retiring right now and you've seen your pension plummet?
Also on the programme, the amount we owe on our credit cards is at record levels, topping £73 billion. But is increased borrowing an indication of consumer confidence or personal crisis?
And do you know you state pension age? Research suggests many of close to retirement don't.
Presenter: Paul Lewis
Reporters: Eimear Devlin and Jo Krasner
Output Producer: Craig Henderson
Editor: Sarah Rogers
(This episode was first broadcast on Saturday the 12th of April on BBC Radio 4)
