As always at this time of year, my social media feeds are filled with all sorts of money goal challenges encouraging you to start the year off as you mean to go on when it comes to money. Whilst encouraging people to save isn't a bad thing at all, I do worry about the fact that lots of these challenges are unachievable and will have people giving up just a few weeks in. They're not really tailored to your own personal circumstances and although they start off with super low amounts, lots of them soon build into higher amounts that would have most of us giving up.I have a … [Read more...]

Every week I share five frugal things that I've done during that week just to show you that the small things you do all add up to a great frugal lifestyle where you can learn to live a fabulously frugal life. I'm not going to lie, being frugal hasn't been my top priority this last couple of weeks!

Is a New York Pass worth the money – Part Two…
Is a New York Pass worth the money? Read on and I'll tell you...The first time we went to New York we bought a New York pass but we never got around to doing half of the things we'd planned to do so it wasn't really worth the money for us. I wrote about what we did and why we never really got our money's worth but it was basically because it was our first time in New York and Miss Frugal was more interested in the shopping and visiting the places she'd seen on TV than doing much else.

Transferring Money Internationally – the Frugal Way….
We’ve always been a globally-minded nation. By the late 16th century, we had outgrown our island home. So, we set sail for far-away lands, claiming them in the name of the Crown.Britannia may no longer rule the waves, but, in the 21st century, our lives have never been more internationalised. Many of us own holiday homes in places like France or Spain. We have family that live and work in dozens of nations abroad. Our children study at universities in Canada, the United States, Australia, and elsewhere.As such, sending cash abroad has become a familiar errand. Because of this, we know … [Read more...]
