## Resource

The government is planning a major inheritance shake-up for unmarried couples but does it go far enough and will it trigger a wave of disputes? On this week's podcast Georgie Frost, Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert discuss the planned rules for co-habiting couples, who it covers, whether it goes too far or not far enough and why they still lose out on tax. Plus, how much do you need for a comfortable retirement and will you get there... plus what it will take in 25 years' time. How to invest in index funds and profit the easy way. And what can you do if someone ditches a car or van on your road? Follow us on Instagram @dmgnewmedia.
