Savings, Second-hand Books, Cost of University

You and Yours

Available for over a year

On last year’s A-Level results day we heard from two students hoping to go to university. We catch up with them a year into their studies to hear about the cost of going to university - and what prospective students should consider when deciding what to do this autumn. Which generation is the best at saving? According to a new report by Virgin Money, Millennials are the generation saving the most right now. We discuss the findings of this report and hear how the amount of money we can save for a rainy day has been impacted over the last few years. Are second-hand books growing in popularity? The National Trust recently revealed that it raised £2.5 million in just one year through the sale of used books. And cinema chain Cineworld is set to close 6 sites in the UK because of restructuring. With attendances still down compared to before the pandemic, we look at what the future holds for the multiplex. PRESENTER: PETER WHITE PRODUCER: CHARLIE FILMER-COURT
