Free debt help

-


I’m really inspired by the many people on Instagram sharing their progress towards paying off debt and getting out of the red for good. 


I know how easy it is for borrowing to build up and, before you know it, it’s suffocating.

Laying out a budget with income and outgoings is the only realistic way to get a grip on finances. .

Charting progress is a great way to stay motivated and knowing that you’re not the only one in this position can also be incredibly comforting - you can find some of these accounts through #debtfreecommunityuk #debtfreecommunity #debtfreejourney and #debtfree .

But at the same time as these great accounts, there are reality tv stars on instagram, presumably being paid, to promote debt management companies and their owners.

It seems pretty irresponsible- in many cases paying for help with debt only makes the situation worse.

There is a lot of FREE help available to anyone who needs help and advice on debt, including the charity StepChange, as well as the Money Advice Service and the National Debtline. 

Be careful about paying for help with debt and seek free help before taking this course of action.

Where to get the best exchange rate for your holiday money

-
Summer's kicked off and the inevitable Instagram pics of people 'living their best life' in sunnier climes have started. With the baby landing, I'm not sure if we're going to go on a summer holiday abroad this year.. we'll see. But if, unlike me, you do have a trip booked in - make sure you maximise your spending power by getting the best exchange rate on your hard-earned cash. The pound is still weak, and with Brexit looming it's likely to stay that way, making it even more important to get the best rate your can. I always change my money in London at one of the branches of Thomas Exchange Global or the similar Thomas Exchange UK . Order online before picking up in branch for the best rates. These currency specialists tend to offer better value than high street banks or shops. If you're not in London, No1 Currency has pick-up points all over the UK and offers competitive rates. The likes of Sainsbury's and the Post Office are unl...

A cheaper Christmas day out

-
We were looking for a something fun to do over the weekend with two little boys. Loads of the most popular Christmas attractions have been booked up by people more organised than us! So we decided on ZSL zoo through the National Rail 241 days out , which halved the cost. It meant the cost of admission was a more budget-friendly £50 for a family of four, rather than £100. As part of the deal, you need train tickets to the destination. Even if you are not traveling by train it's likely to be worth doing the deal and booking train tickets for just one stop to the destination. There are loads of attractions and destinations covered by the offer, so it's well worth having a browse if you're looking for a special day out this Christmas.
