Hello

and welcome to my site!

I’m a 38 year old mum to a four year old and a baby living in the North West of England.

When I had my first baby in 2019 I discovered budgeting and since then, despite one maternity leave, I have been able to overpay my mortgage by over £17,000 since 2020! I also started investing and now both of my kids are investors!

Now I’m here to share with you the money saving tips I’ve learned along the way about how to be mortgage free as I pursue my ultimate goal, to be mortgage free in my mid 40’s.

Don’t forget to follow me on my other platforms for more ideas and inspiration. You can also sign up to my newsletter to ensure you get the very latest money saving updates, advice and tips.

Happy budgeting!
