Watch 10 year old Holly explain where debt and money come from – and what that means for you…
Have you ever tried to do a jigsaw puzzle but one of the pieces was missing? Well, the financial crisis and all the trouble since then is a bit like that.

No matter how many economists are working on the problem, they’ll never solve it because they’re missing the most important piece of the puzzle.
But once this missing piece is found, even a 10 year old can understand it.
