Parents, I have a genuine question… HOW are you affording children in this economy?! 😭😂

Let me deinfluence you for a second 💸 1. Rewear your holiday clothes 2. Stop upgrading your phone 3. Don’t buy the hype 4. Stop replacing good things 5. Stop keeping up with others Not everything needs to be a purchase! 👀

£100 really doesn’t stretch like it used to 😭💸 Between groceries, petrol and everyday essentials, it feels like your money disappears before you’ve even had a chance to enjoy it! Is it just me, or does £100 feel like the new £20?!

Leasehold properties get a bad reputation, but are they really as bad as people make them out to be? 👀🏡 As a solo first-time buyer in London, I had to be realistic about my budget and my options. For me, buying a leasehold made sense, and I have no regrets! It’s not about avoiding leaseholds altogether, it’s about understanding exactly what you’re buying. Would you buy a leasehold property, or is it a dealbreaker? 👇🏾

Just to clarify, I don’t actually pay £110 a month for my car! 😂 That’s simply what my annual running costs work out to when broken down monthly. In reality, the only car expense I really think about each month is petrol (£30–£40). Everything else, like insurance, road tax, MOT and my parking permit, is paid annually. And this is exactly why I’m in no rush to upgrade my little 2013 banger! 🚗😂 If it’s not broken, why fix it?!

£288,000 in debt at 30… but does a mortgage count as debt in the same way? 🏡💸 I’m curious to hear everyone’s thoughts because I feel like people have VERY different opinions on this one 👀

Buying solo chronicles.. 🏡

Just because a lender says you can afford it, doesn’t mean you should spend it! 🏡 The last thing you want is to be house poor. Buy a home that allows you to still enjoy your life outside of paying your mortgage.

Here’s how I saved £50,000 towards buying my first home solo in London 🏡
