Living the good life on a budget.
Hello June! Another month to work through, to have fun and exiting times, and to get further along in our financial journey. We’ve got a little family holiday planned in June which I’m really looking forward to; it’ll be our first time away as a family of three! Other than that, June is quite a…

The month I had dreaded arriving for a while has already passed, in what seems like a blink of an eye. We have spent a lot of time getting used to the new balance we’ve found since I have returned to work. It has made me appreciate the time I have at home even more…
