LOCKDOWN SAVINGS – THE PERFECT TIME TO PUT MONEY ASIDE
We are stuck at home with no where to go to spend money. Pubs and restaurants are closed so we cannot meet friends for a drink and a catch up. Shopping centres and clothes stores are shut, thus no temptation to buy another pair of shoes, dresses or more make – up and all that nonsense that we normally waste our money on, but do … Continue reading LOCKDOWN SAVINGS – THE PERFECT TIME TO PUT MONEY ASIDE
