How do you budget?
I set weekly limits and plan ahead for bigger expenses.
Any money-saving tips for living in London?
Map out your money, eat at home, hunt for bargains, and budget for unexpected purchases, because they will come up, no matter how sensible you are.
Last big blow-out?
Dublin. Just being there, my budgeting sense went out the window completely. Nice dinners, tours, pub crawls and quite a few Irish Coffees definitely added up. It’s an expensive city, but I figure it’s not often you are young and in Ireland – or at least that’s what I keep telling myself when I look at my bank statement.
What non-essential items do you spend money on?
Fashion. It’s always been a weakness, but especially living in London, I feel the need to at least try to keep up with the current style.
