Living the good life on a budget.
I am a big fan of Autumn (Fall) and Winter. I love the cooler seasons when the nights are darker, all of the seasonal fruit and veg comes in season and sitting with candles lit and blankets on the sofa. So I’m excited about September! We’ve got a busy month ahead but I’m sure we’ll…
August has gone by so fast, I can’t quite believe it. It’s been a fantastic month for us though, and I’ve enjoyed every minute. At the end of the month I like to do a reflection on how the month has gone and reflect on the aims I set at the beginning of the month. …
Another week over and the end of August! This post is a day early (I normally do the weekend editions on a Sunday) as tomorrow will be my August round up post, so pop back tomorrow for that. I can’t believe that August is nearly over. Although, the weather has been rather chilly this week…
Everywhere I look online, one of the keys to wealth is investing. There’s no other way around it; you need to invest to build wealth and reach your goals. But I have a confession: investing scares me. It scares me immensely! I have done lots of reading around investing, looked at various different…
Me and my husband have got various savings goals at the moment – some short term and some more long term – and I think it’s very important to have savings goals. We’re currently looking at re-doing our bathroom as it needs completely gutting and done from scratch as the previous owners did a DIY…
I’ve had a lovely week this week. It started with us spending some time with my parents – it’s always nice to see them. I also did a car boot last weekend and I got £53 for some of my stuff which I was pleased with. The rest of the things I didn’t sell have…
One of the reasons why I love blogging so much is that I like to get to know the people behind the blogs. What do they like, what do they dislike, what would they do on a Sunday afternoon if they had their way; everything that makes a person who they are. So, I thought…
One of the things I have to remind myself of is that wanting more “stuff” does not validate my existence. Owning lots of things does not make me a better person. I am in danger of getting trapped in the cycle of more. The trap of more is dangerous. The trap of having to…
Another week is over. It’s been a strange week for us; we got back from our vacation at the start of the week and have been catching up with things since. We’ve also been having lie ins and generally taking things a bit more easy, which has been nice. I was also saddened by the…
Me and my husband have just got back from an amazing trip in Canada and America (more on that in another post!) and it has made me question some of our priorities and what’s important. This is a somewhat reflective post. When interested in finance and having multiple goals around money, it’s easy to…
