Really good advice here if you're looking to save a bob or two
You might not have heard of Gemma Bird, but the savvy mum has a tremendous 300,000+ followers on Instagram and TikTok. Why? Well Gemma, better known as Money Mum, knows a thing or two about cash. More importantly, making money work for her.
The mum-of-two told the publication: "My parents instilled in me that if you want something you’ve got to work and save up for it. I was never bright at school. I always thought I’m not going to ever be a doctor or a lawyer so I knew I was going to have to make whatever money I made go a long way.
"You might be able to reduce it from 25 years to 18 years if you put your mind to it. If you use a mortgage calculator, you might be surprised how paying an extra hundred pounds a month off clears your mortgage because it eats into the interest." "Money is not taught in schools properly," she said. "Why are we not teaching mortgages, what to do if you get into debt, how much something costs, how to save? Why don't we teach what to do when you get your first wage? If you’re living at home at the time and pay mum and dad a hundred pounds a month, this is probably the richest you’re ever going to be and you don’t realise how rich you are.
