Description

The interest rate rose to 3% this week affecting mortgage rates. We'll be looking at what that means for buy-to-let landlords. Many will have interest only mortgages linked to the interest rate so they'll begin rising almost at once. What does it mean for landlords but also tenants?

We'll discuss how the freeze in tax thresholds impacts your income and look at what could happen over the coming years.

Why over half a million households could be facing heating bills more than double those covered by the Energy Price Guarantee. It's because they warm their homes using heat networks - communal heating systems used in blocks of flats or housing estates.

New figures suggest more than half of NHS and public sector workers eligible to get cheaper broadband are missing out.

And is happiness linked to your income? How much per year would it take to make you happy? Email us with your thoughts now to moneybox@bbc.co.uk
