⌛ Some money lessons come too late.
56% of UK parents say they try to teach their children good money habits* — but what about the lessons we missed growing up? We asked people what they wish they knew.
From saving early to learning to budget, these simple principles can make all the difference.
It’s time to talk more openly about money, so future generations can learn from our experience, not our mistakes.
*St. James's Place Real Life Advice Report 2025. On behalf of SJP, Opinium surveyed 8,000 UK adults nationwide between 22nd July and 5th August 2025.

Did you see us on Sky Arts? We're now proud channel sponsors!
Sky Arts' varied programming reaches a wide and diverse audience, making the different forms of the arts accessible and valued in all walks of life. We believe financial advice should be valued and accessible in the same way.
In this new partnership with Sky Arts, we aim to showcase how the value of one-to-one financial advice can have a positive impact and that advice, much like the arts, is best served through personal connection.

Gold’s appeal has outlived empires across centuries — but even today it remains tricky to value.
With prices fluctuating among global events, it’s worth remembering that gold is unproductive and unpredictable.
For most long-term investment strategies, consistency matters more than shiny moments. ✨
The value of your investment can go down as well as up. You could get back less than you invested.
An investment in gold is not a service offered by St. James’s Place.
