#074 - Jasmine Birtles - The Broken Welfare State

Jasmine Birtles is a financial expert, author, and founder of
Money Magpie. In this episode of The Peter McCormack Show, she
explains why Britain’s economy is teetering on the edge—from a
broken tax system and bloated welfare state to personal finance
illiteracy and out-of-control government spending.


We cover the exodus of wealth creators, the reality of Universal
Credit traps, how schools fail to teach money skills, and why
Jasmine believes a major crash might be the only path to reform.
We also dive into Bitcoin, gold, and the cultural stigma around
financial success in the UK.
