As a parent, securing your child’s financial future should be a top priority, yet finance is something we don’t really talk about in this country. We really should. While the costs of raising children can be substantial, setting aside funds for their long-term benefit is a wise and rewarding endeavour. I’m passionate about finance, especially …
We had a family trip to Worthing on the South Coast a few weeks back. My other half’s family lives down there, so every now and again we pack up our lives and make the day long journey from the North West. I never look forward to it. That’s got nothing to do with my …
The concept of “push presents” – gifts bestowed upon new mothers by their partners to commemorate childbirth – has sparked a spirited debate.
