Hello November! I love this time of year 🙂 this is slightly later than normal; our two year old has to self-isolate at home for 14 days due to being in close contact with something who has tested positive. Somehow, that means I have totally lost track of the days! It is strange not being…
I talk a lot about investing here at The Frugal Cottage; if you follow our story then you will know that we are aiming for early retirement using dividend income as a means to do that. So that means using an investment account! But, how do you know which one to choose? This post…
