Barbie is a big spender and high earner, fast approaching the age of retirement. But after a long and varied career that has seen her build a portfolio of multiple dreamhouses and a low-commitment, long-distance relationship with casual boyfriend Ken, what financial advice should she be looking for?

In this Headlinemoney award-winning episode of Money Clinic, first aired in August 2023, presenter Claer Barrett is joined in the studio by wealth manager Christine Ross from Handelsbanken and FT personal finance columnist Moira O’Neill, who share their tips on everything from prenups to investing.

Prenuptial agreements are no longer just for Hollywood power couples such as Jay Z and Beyoncé — they’re on the rise in the UK too. Host Claer Barrett sits down with family lawyer Richard Hogwood from Stewarts Law to discuss the legal status of prenups as well as the recent influx of requests at his firm, and quizzes James Brookner, founder of the online-platform Wenup, on an affordable route to drafting a prenup. Also in the Money Clinic studio are newly weds-to-be Steve and Georgina, who explain why they decided on a prenup and how they navigated the tricky conversation around it.
