Is the generational wealth gap narrower than we thought?
Many younger adults think they are substantially less well-off than their parents.
But while there are inequalities, new research suggests the wealth gap may be far narrower than previously reported - and it is largely down to the cash those in their twenties and thirties have stashed in their pensions.
On this week's episode of the This is Money podcast Lee Boyce, Helen Crane and Georgie Frost discuss why official figures got it wrong, and whether property versus pension is a pointless comparison.
The team also ask what will happen to interest rates and mortgages due to the fact that - for now at least - a ceasefire in Iran appears to be holding.
Elsewhere, Lee reports on a ferocious best buy battle at the top of the fixed cash Isa tables, where even the high street banks are getting involved.
And finally, another Chinese pretender to Amazon's retail throne has entered the UK.
Is Joybuy any good, how did it fare when our reporter put its delivery service to the test - and do we really need another place to buy bargain toilet rolls online?
