Summary
Charlie Nunn said households should automate saving early and regularly, with an emergency fund of one to three months' salary for unexpected bills.
The Lloyds Banking Group chief said moving money into savings as soon as pay arrives can build discipline without formal budgeting, using tools such as direct debits, cash envelopes or round-up apps.
Nunn also urged more openness about money in relationships and said pocket money can help children learn budgeting and live within their means.
His sharpest warning was on fraud and social-media "finfluencers": he said young people face heavy online pressure, should pause before sending money, and avoid risky promoted products such as crypto or meme coins.
As head of the UK's biggest bank, which provides one in four current accounts, Nunn framed the advice around what Lloyds sees in customers' spending, saving and borrowing habits.
