Last year, No 10 took an unprecedented step: it invited content creators to cross the threshold of Downing Street. Naturally, the creators all filmed themselves outside the famous door.

At 23, I walked into BlackRock's New York office fresh out of Wesleyan University, ready to conquer Wall Street. By 28, I had traded my corporate badge for a ring light and a mission to empower women through content creation. Along the way, I learned that the biggest impact doesn't always come from the biggest institutions. The journey began in 2018, when I joined BlackRock's Financial Markets Advisory team. In my role, I advised governments and banks on complex financial issues.

I was raised by a single mom who was a teacher. We didn't have a ton of money, but we always got by. As a kid, I noticed that my grandparents' house was bigger than many others, and that they'd give me Christmas presents I'd be longing for. There was never a conversation, but over time, I realized that my grandparents were our financial safety net.
We need to give teens supervised access to financial tools earlier in their lives. Let them learn financial responsibility through real experience.

Cutting the annual cash Isa allowance will not encourage many savers to switch to shares but could push up mortgage costs, MPs have warned the chancellor. Adults can put up to 20,000 a year in a tax-free Isa and spread the money between cash and stock market investments as they choose.
