Sorry if I'm repeating anything anyone else has said but I've only just been catching up with my newspaper reading.

    Martin is such an important advocate for so many people and he makes lots of good points here. I hope he is OK, I know this situation has been tough for him. I hope he knows people appreciate him. I certainly do: the advice on this website helped me get my budget in order enough to buy my own place near the sea.

    I was clearly talking about the stress of being one of the few people standing up to advocate for the middle and working classes and all the flack that comes with that, especially on social media, all while the government are asleep at the wheel, I didn't think that he would be having money troubles himself.

    "High-profile personal finance commentator and campaigner Martin Lewis has sold his MoneySavingExpert.com website for up to £87m."

    I think he'll be fine...
    Empathy is obviously not a word you are familiar with.
