There are certain moments in your life when you realise your own true nature. I did LK today this morning and the big star of the show was Jon Bon Jovi. He played, and then was interviewed with his sun glasses on; the epitome of cool. He was chilled, reflective and within his comfort zone. Then there was me, carrying a laptop, headset and explaining how Skype worked and how to save money on international calls; cool factor about zero. Still, it could be worse, lifestyle commentator Nick Ede was there blowing up a large black beach ball as a suggested gift for a WAG wedding, as Bon Jovi walked past giving the funniest looks.
Feeling like a big geek compared to Bon Jovi

The computer games industry is now bigger than the cinema. Whether you’ve got a Playstation, Wii or X-box, buy a game and it will easily set you back £20 – £40. If you consider the thousands of hours that go into creating a top game, and the hundreds of hours that you play it for – then... -
Cheapest Travel Money: I got so fed up of explaining it, I built a tool.
26 June 2007![]()
Well it’s not quite “I liked it so much, I bought the company” but in my own small way I’m very happy with the new Cheap Travel Money tool we’ve launched today. The problem with travel money has always been that there are a myriad of charges which confuse the actual rate. Many people think “commission free”... -

I have discovered this week that I have a very poor sense of humour. For the new Travel Money Maximiser, in the press release about it, the site article and this week’s email (which I’m going through as we speak), I have included the sentence: “So whether you want to eat out in colons in Costa Rica,...

Martin Lewis: 'UO is just as important as UX: A tip for anyone developing their website or app'
6 May 2022![]()
I set up MoneySavingExpert.com nearly 20 years ago – when arguably the modern web was still in its infancy. With an abundance of self-belief (something I had too much of then, as I realise now) I decided not to read any books, or follow prevailing wisdom on how a site should operate – and just do it my way. -
Martin Lewis: Got a cash ISA? You should probably ditch it
3 May 2022![]()
Press the rewind button and go way back to April 2015... Possibly on the telly in the corner of your living room, I was on-air at the time urging savers as usual to use their new tax-free cash ISA allowance – because 'money was nicer in an ISA'. But things changed in 2016. -

26 April 2022![]()
It's hard to believe the Money and Mental Health Policy Institute (MMHPI) charity is now six years old. As the chair of trustees, each year I write the foreword to its annual report – and today the 2021/22 report is out, so I thought I'd blog my formal chair's foreword here. -
Martin Lewis: What happened to my pledge to give £10m to charity – 2022 update (spoiler: it's now £20m)
11 April 2022![]()
Nearly a decade ago, in June 2012, MSE joined the MSM Group and I pledged £10m to go to charity. As that was a public pledge and I feel I've a duty of transparency, every year or two I bash out a blog report to explain where I'm up to, and who's got what money.
