Wife made redundant - what should I do?
Bit of insight into our situation: We bought our house in zone 2 London last year, our mortgage is pretty low at £1200 a month.

No longer a tax payer
I recently took voluntary redundancy and I’ve decided to live off my savings. (I have no income and don’t receive any benefits) I was wondering how being a none tax payer would effect the interest I get on my savings?
