Hello 👋

I have an amateur curiosity in money trends, the psychology of money and the impact Government policies have on personal finances.

Money Outsider is outlet for exploring financial data, personal finance research and insights. I’m drawn to stories that are hiding in the numbers. I like finding out how financial systems actually affect ordinary people, whether that’s student debt, pensions, the cost of living, or how public money gets spent. I intend to publish any underlying data so anyone can check my working or take the analysis further themselves.

Whilst I am a Fellow of the Personal Finance Society, this is just a passion project, therefore, it is possible my analysis will be riddled by ignorance and inaccuracy! Therefore, nothing I write here should be taken as financial advice. If you need advice about your own money, please speak to a qualified, regulated professional.

Posts will turn up when they turn up. I fit this around a full-time job in Climate Tech, so the schedule is best described as “when I get round to it.”

I’d love to hear from you - you can email basil@moneyoutsider.com
