Money and neurodivergence: how to build a system that actually works. What if the problem isn’t your discipline, but the system you’ve been told to follow?

In this episode of The Wallet, Emilie Bellet (Vestpod) is joined by Krystle McGilvery, behavioural finance expert and Chartered Accountant, to unpack why so many people feel stuck with money, especially when they don’t fit the “default” model.

We explore financial avoidance, time blindness and impulse spending, not as failures, but as responses, and what to do instead: reframing your relationship with money, reducing friction, and building systems that actually fit how you think.

What happens when your salary hits £100K in the UK? In this episode of The Wallet, Emilie Bellet (Vestpod) speaks with Philly Ponniah about the financial reality facing high earners. From the £100K childcare tax trap and 60% marginal tax rate to lifestyle creep, investing hesitation, and lack of financial structure, this episode explains why earning more does not automatically build wealth. Practical insights cover financial planning for high earners, how to manage income thresholds, build a system, and make intentional decisions to grow long-term wealth.

Why does building wealth feel complicated, slow, or out of reach, even when you are earning and doing “the right things”?

In this episode of The Wallet, Emilie Bellet (Vestpod) is joined by Mary and Ken Okoroafor, founders of The Humble Penny and authors of The Wealth Habit. Together, we unpack why wealth is less about income and more about habits, identity, and systems, and how small, consistent actions can create long-term financial security.
