Build wealth. Love your life
Happy New Year, money nerds! (I know I am a bit late with the New Year vibe, but giving you some time to sobber up and get ‘your mind on your money and money on your mind’ was an easy choice.) May 2022 be kinder and generous to you….
Passive income is a tantalising prospect. When it comes to reality and making real cash, things can resemble a wild goose chase rather than a ‘forever’ nirvana. There is a lot of talk in the media about passive income. Passive income is presented as the panacea that will allow…
You can have the life you want when you sort your money out. Most of us don’t dream about the insane luxury of private jets, drinking champagne on a yacht and living in a house with gold-plates bathrooms. We dream about a life that ticks smoothly and we have…
Editor’s note: You, friend, already know I’m very interested in the softer side of money management, including the way our relationship with money shapes our financial health and wealth. Here is a wonderful guest to share the evolution of her relationship with money: from a saving child, through a credit…
Was all this worry about money, pensions, and the distant future worth it, you may be asking yourself? I sympathise with you. We live in troubled times, and over the last month or so, our focus has shifted radically. In January, we all watched the stock market go up…

Have you been keeping up with the Joneses while desperately trying not to? Have you been looking at the neighbour’s car and wishing it was in your drive? Have you been looking at the great suit your colleague is wearing and wishing it was on your back? After that feeling…
Last week I told you how the clutter and lack of organisation in our house has made me feel. I also promised myself that I’ll sort out much of it and declutter before Christmas and will hold myself accountable by publishing about it; with ‘before and after’ pictures and modesty…
“This blog post is completely useless. It either tells you to get a job to start a business.” This is the comment someone left on one of my posts about making more money. I beg your pardon? You want to make money but don’t want to work for it? And…
John and I didn’t talk about money. All we did is earn it and spend it. We didn’t discuss how we make money and how much we make; we certainly didn’t discuss how much we spend. Heck, we didn’t even know how much we make and how much we spend….
