Here's what changed on MoneyBySharma over the past week. Checked against the live site on 26 October 2026.
New this week
Annuities is a new guide explaining what an annuity is, with a rough income estimate and a list of UK providers. For example, Hargreaves Lansdown's published table shows £8,211 a year from a £100,000 pot for a single, level annuity at 65 (quotes dated 15 October, checked 20 October).
Savings now names the actual banks and building societies: 21 rates from 11 providers, each read on the provider's own website on 19 October.
Resources has a new illustrated "Explained Simply: Money Matters" PDF and a guide to building a team of AI assistants, and every PDF can now be viewed or downloaded.
