Everyone is feeling the economic pinch right now, but according to The Morning's money expert Dan Hatfield there are lots of simple tricks to help you both make and save cash
Dan Hatfield is a man on a mission. As the resident money-making expert on This Morning his practical, no-nonsense advice has made him a favourite among viewers, especially in what, for many, are financially uncertain times.
He admitted, however, that the issue of debt is ‘complicated’. “People are worried. Worried about paying mortgages, about the constant shock around how much everything is, worried about making food choices based on their income. A native of Sheffield, Dan, who shares homes in London and the Peak District with his TV executive producer husband, Joff Powell, reckons that as a nation we have around £3, 000 worth of items in our houses that could be converted into cash.
Growing up, his family wasn’t wealthy and his mum would do ‘anything and everything’ to make ends meet, he recalled. Alongside his successful TV career, Dan is still involved in the family business - and it’s a job, he says, where you never know what each day brings. He has been offered a cast of what purported to be Justin Bieber’s penis, as well as Faberge eggs and even, bizarrely, a sample of the bath water in which Whitney Huston lost her life.It’s his role on This Morning though where he knows he can make a big difference and is relishing working alongside new presenters, Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard.
Toilet and kitchen roll cores can sell for 7p–8p each while even if egg cartons have value - around £10 for 20. “Researching prices before you put anything up for sale is vital so turn detective.”“On average we each lose about £500 a year by accepting the first price offered. That’s because we’re British and we don’t like bartering but it can work on anything from a mobile phone contract right through to when you're selling your stuff on eBay and Amazon.
