The Twenty Percent
This week I’m handing over the reigns to Thando from Skilled Finances. By now, I’m sure you all know that I’m a big fan of talking money, so I’m really excited about this post.
Thando will explain why you should talk money with your partner and how this has benefited him and his wife.
You shouldn’t listen to me. That probably sounds like a strange thing for a blogger – or anyone really – to say. But, hear me out on this one.
A lot of the time money bloggers seem to have all the answers and get it right all the time. But, that’s simply not true. We’re all human and we all make mistakes. To boost transparency and show we really are all in this together, I’ve decided to share some of the worst financial decisions I’ve made.
It’s a new year, but not in the way we’re used to. Another lockdown seems inevitable now and many people are struggling physically, mentally and financially. That’s why I won’t offer time consuming, complex and unrealistic financial goals. Instead, here are 5 easy ways to improve your finances in 2021.
2020 draws to a close and brings with it the end of The Twenty Percent’s first calendar year in action. I thought now was a good time to do a year in review, and look back at what the blog has achieved in its first year.
Christmas can be expensive. Often we end up spending more than we intend on things we don’t usually need. As it’s December, I thought I’d offer some top Christmas money saving tips, to help you plan for the festive season.
I’ve decided to keep up the festive theme this week. My post on what your favourite Netflix shows can teach you about managing your money proved popular, so I decided to apply the same to your favourite Christmas songs.
It’s December! I’m not really sure how we’ve got to December if I’m honest, in my mind we’re still somewhere in March. The arrival of December may be muted this year, with Covid-19 putting pay to most celebrations. But, not all festive traditions have to be cancelled. Advent calendars don’t. This is why I’ve created a personal finance advent calendar for you.
One of the most common criticisms of blogs is they all churn out the same information – some of it helpful, some of it less so. I personally don’t agree with this and try to make sure The Twenty Percent is as unique as possible. But, just in case you are thinking this, I’ve decided to share some of your most controversial financial opinions.
England has gone back into lockdown and this time it seems harder than before. The weather is colder and the evenings darker, meaning motivation can be harder to find. This is why I’ve decided change the format of my monthly money bloggers takeover to offer some lockdown lessons and productivity tips and tricks.
