How to handle and reduce your family's money worries

We’re parents, that means there is a long list of things that we have to buy for the kids and home. But it is possible to improve our financial situations, save money and cut costs, despite the things that restrict us.

It’s less about making more money, although there are certainly things you can do to be more likely to get a pay rise, and if you work for yourself you could change things potentially and bring in more money.

It’s also not about becoming a millionnaire, because that’s not what I’m skilled in.

What I’m good at, is making the most of the money we have, and getting value from it.

After all, how much money we have doesn’t actually determine how much is left at the end of the month. It’s how we manage it, prioritise it, value it, and use it that determines what we get from it.

Money is just money. It’s not good or evil. It can stress us, or help us.

The question is, how would you like your relationship with money to be?

These are the blog posts that initially birthed the chapter on how to get more time in my book. Feel free to check them out. They will be more polished in the book and there will be extra bits, but I’ll also be adding new tips or clever products in my blog that help when I find them.
