'I was always a spender, I used to just flitter all my pay cheque away on nights out, clothes, and so on. But as I reached my late 30s, I suddenly panicked and realised I had little to no savings' via ITYourMoney

In my late 30s, I went on a lot of long-haul

, places like Thailand, Australia, New Zealand. I did everything, spent loads, and stayed in some nice places. Those memories are special and priceless and are some of the best things I spent my money on.During the majority of the highestrestrictions, I was pregnant, so I was not fit for buying anything except bits and bobs for the baby, all of which were purchased online. I tend to still shop online for everything these days as I now have no time with a toddler who wants my full attention.

It’s easy to say family is more important than money, and money doesn’t matter, but unfortunately it does. Everything I do now, and everything myself and my partner earn is geared towards securing a future for our daughter, when she won’t have to worry or stress about money too much in the way so many young people do nowadays.It’s nearing pay-day, so right now, not a lot.
