questionI was recently interviewed for a podcast to help promote MoneytotheMasses.com and my book - '30 Day Money Plan - fix your finances in just 5 minutes a day'. It was during this interview that I was asked the question 'What are the most popular or recurring questions you receive from your readers?"

In truth we are asked questions on a whole range of topics including pensions, investments, insurance and mortgages.
