  8. How can I make my wedding cheaper?

    Posted on

    Weddings can be expensive business.  Apparently the average cost of a UK wedding in 2018 was £32,273 according to Hitched.  That’s crazy money! 

    Personally I think that amount of money is better off going towards a house deposit that gives you security for your future and is an investment, not just one day.  Or towards your retirement.  It’s quite extravagant for the average person to save so much money to blow on one day. 

    Of course if you want to spend that amount then no judgement and perhaps you can afford to, but going by the title of this blog post you are here because you want to make your wedding cheaper.

  34. Does matched betting affect mortgage application?

    Posted on

    One question I see raised time and again about matched betting is whether it affects a mortgage application.   In this blog post I am going to explore my own experience of applying for a mortgage whilst being a matched bettor.

    Our fixed deal was coming to an end and so we applied for a new mortgage at the end of last year to lock in a great new fixed rate.  It was the first time I had applied for a mortgage since starting matched betting two years ago and so I was slightly nervous to whether matched betting affected my credit score and if my mortgage application would be denied. 

  37. The cheapest ways to get Netflix UK

    Posted on

    Almost one year ago I wrote a blog post about how we managed to save £315 per year on our TV and broadband in the space of five minutes.  One of the ways was by cancelling our TV licence that was costing us £147 per year.  We barely watched live TV anymore and never used BBC iPlayer.  We decided we could do without normal TV and any BBC catch up services and save ourselves this money each year, especially as we had already signed up to Netflix and couldn’t justify the cost of both.  So, Netflix won and we have been very happily working our way through their offerings for just over a year now.

  49. Is being vegan expensive?

    Posted on

    Is being vegan expensive?  The answer?  It can be as expensive or as affordable as you want it to be.  Pretty much like anything else in life.  You can choose the cheap car or you can choose a more luxurious car.  The same goes for food, drink, holidays, clothes, homewares, you name it.  Choosing to lead a healthy lifestyle is no different.  It can cost a pretty penny or you can choose to do it on a budget.

    One question I’m asked a lot as I am now 100% plant based (or vegan as it’s more widely and easily understood), is whether it is expensive.   My answer is yes and no.  No it’s not expensive if you stick to eating a diet stuffed full of fresh fruits and vegetables, but mostly veggies, that are in season.  But yes it is expensive if you start buying processed vegan food and junk food such as vegan cheeses and vegan mayonnaises, raw chocolate bars, meat alternatives and so on.
