Money-saving expert Martin Lewis has shared his advice on how to transform a relatively modest sum of £800, or even less, into a hefty £5,400 by following a simple eight-step process.
The financial guru known for his regular TV, radio, and podcast appearances insists this 'trick' could work for anyone aged between 40 and 73. Contributing to the latest newsletter for his MoneySavingExpert website, Martin offered a step-by-step explanation of the strategy, reports Wales Online.
