Hi, I’m Simon.

Thanks for stopping by, I really do appreciate every reader I have on this site.
I started this blog because I’ve always been pretty good with money. I suppose frugal or thrifty is the word. “Tight” is another. But I prefer “Careful”.

I think this stems from my university days – you only live once, so I wanted to make the most of my time there even though I had a really limited budget. So, I worked out how to make my cash go as far as possible.

It’s been ingrained into me ever since meaning I never spend anything without thinking about it first. I love a good deal and hate feeling like I’ve been “done over”, for want of a better word. But that’s just me!

This site is my way of sharing my ways to save money and improve your finances. I mainly write about saving money, making a bit extra on the side (while avoiding the many scams out there!) and a little bit about investing too.

The sites still quite new and I’m still very new to this blogging game. But, the more I’ve written on here, the more I’ve found that I enjoy creating in-depth content on a topic I’m extremely passionate about – Saving money and improving finances.

I’ve also been lucky enough to be featured on several leading websites including:
