Because we’ve struggled financially over the last few years, my mindset has totally changed. I now approach every money-spending endeavour in a practical and methodical way. It’s time to share some of the difficult financial lessons with you all. I hope that some of my strategies can help you.
With the cost of living crisis in full force, no solution is going to come immediately. Therefore, we must all try and make savings to weather the storm.
