Living the good life on a budget.
I cannot believe I am finally getting to write this post. Long before I started this blog, I used to read income reports from other bloggers, marvelling at how they could earn a living online. Earning numbers far beyond what I earn at my full time job, and managing to do this all with a…
Another week has begun, which means another meal plan Monday post! Meal planning really helps us stick to our budget month after month. You can tell it’s getting nearer to Christmas by the amount of stuff people are buying at the supermarket; it’s ridiculous. The person in front of me this week spent £170?! I spent just over…
A new month means it is time again to update The Ultimate Dream Fund again, as I continue our journey to early retirement. The Ultimate Dream Fund is named because it is our dream to retire early, and we need the funds to make that happen! One day, this fund will provide us with the…
Hello December! December is my favourite month of the year; I find it impossible to get all excited about the holidays, spending time with family and having fun. It’ll be our first Christmas as the three of us, so I’m looking forward to putting up the decorations and sharing all about Christmas with our son….
Another month over, already! November seems to have passed by in a flash, without too many hiccups along the way. It has been a more expensive month, as it tends to be as we get nearer to Christmas, but I have tried to keep to a budget. I do like buying gifts for others though!…
I’ll be honest, no one more surprised than me that I’m actually writing this post. After all, opening a stocks and shares ISA has been on my yearly goals for the past two years (2014 goals and 2015 goals) and it’s in the eleventh month of the second year that I finally get round to…
Continuing on with my frugal gift guides, here is one for the special man in your life. Be it father, grandpa, brother, cousin, boyfriend, husband, there’ll be something on this guide for him! Although it’s Black Friday this week, Christmas creeps ever closer. In fact, it’ll be 4 weeks on Friday, which is no time…
Another week has begun, which means another meal plan Monday post! Meal planning really helps us stick to our budget month after month. Am I the only one who loves looking at and reading about what other people buy at the grocery store and what they eat each week? This week I spent just under £40 on…
Today’s post is a guest post by Michael over at Lending Circle – enjoy! If you’re a subscriber to the monthly figures delivered by the Office for National Statistics, you might well be misled into thinking that these are easy times financially. Inflation numbers have stubbornly remained around zero throughout the year, while wage…
Christmas is just around the corner, and although there’s Black Friday to come, it’s time to start thinking about what gifts you are going to purchase for your loved ones. I love buying presents for other people; taking time to think what they might like, going and buying the items (or shopping online) and then…
