Living the good life on a budget.
Happy Sunday! This week seems to have gone quite slowly, though I’m not entirely sure why. Frugal Baby has had a cold which has interrupted his sleeping a bit, but on the whole it is better. So yes, not sure why! I feel like the days have been a bit disjunct. However, another week has…
The last time I did a Life Update post was early August, so I thought it was about time I did another! In the last one, I talked about Frugal Baby turning 2 and finding out that Frugal Baby #2 is also a boy 🙂 I’m now 28 weeks pregnant, so time is flying…
Following on from yesterday’s post about continuing to learn, I thought I would share with you some personal finance books that are interesting to read. I’m a big fan of reading. I always have been. Ever since I can remember, I have enjoyed books. I am super fast at reading too. I remember once…
I was thinking earlier about how we acquire knowledge. When we’re young, we go to school and get taught things by adults. You make decisions about what subjects you study later on in life, then (presumably) go onto a job in a specific area. Learning different subjects at school means a greater general knowledge. You…
I have got something exciting to share with you, which I have been working on behind the scenes. Something to test the waters, I suppose. I have spoken a lot about helping other people and making sure their money works hard for them. So, I’ve created a mini course, to share with you all!…
After the bumper income in dividends last month, September was always going to be a let down. Only slightly kidding! Some months are so much better than others as the income received varies so much. I have been dividend investing for a while now, to create another passive income stream. Although I need to keep an…
I know I say this every month, but I swear this comes round more quickly as the year goes on. After last month’s exciting milestone, it seems more important than ever to appreciate the slow and steady approach. We can see the impact of our spending in our saving habits. At the end of each month…
Hello October! I am so looking forward to the cooler months. Snuggling up on the sofa watching films. Hot chocolates in an evening. Cosy jumpers and blankets. I can’t wait for the darker evenings 🙂 We have a couple of family events on during October. My cousin is getting married at the start of…
Goodbye September! I can’t believe it’s already over. How fast did that go?! Although it feels like I’ve lost the last week of the month due to contracting a horrible sickness bug. I don’t remember the last time I have been that ill. For the first 24 hours I struggled to keep water down, never…
At the end of August, I posted about wanting to do a No Spend Month. In fact, I posted hoping others would join me! The main reason why I wanted to try a No Spend Month is because our spending was going up. On little things, here and there. Food spending going up. All the…
