June 2016 Income/Expenses

June 2016 Income/Expenses

My computer decided to die a couple of days ago so it’s a late Income/expenses report this month. June was a month of big change for both myself and the country as a whole. I started a ‘new’ job which was actually just going back to my previous employer but in a more senior position. It means I’m back on the motorbike for my commute.. 25 minutes door-to-door and £6 per week in petrol. Being home earlier has already started…

May 2016 Income/Expenses

May 2016 Income/Expenses

It was payday yesterday which means time for this month’s Income/Expenses! May was another good month all round. We had an awesome mini-holiday to Sweden for the weekend to watch Eurovision, income was up from all sources and I quit my job. I’m looking forward to moving back to a nice local job with less stress and knowing the salary isn’t as important as it used to be so I can focus on other things. It’s now also less than…

Goodbye 3 hour drives on the M25

Goodbye 3 hour drives on the M25

This morning I rang up my manager and told him that I’d be sending over my resignation letter. This wasn’t the first time I’d left a job but I was still nervous about how he would react. I explained to him that while I appreciated all of his support and enjoyed working on the various different projects over the past 18 months it had become clear that I would never ‘get used’ to the long commutes and never really being…

April 2016 Income/Expenses

It was payday on Friday which means time for this month’s Income/Expenses! I think it’s important to keep track of your income/expenses every month as it allows you to spot trends and areas for improvement. I find it really useful to track the spending changes each month, and really motivating to see the networth improvements. Sometimes it can seem like financial independence is so far away, but by watching your networth steadily increasing you’ll know you will reach that point…

Working out the value of your time

Working out the value of your time

It’s been a long time since I’ve written a proper post for this site which wasn’t just the monthly breakdown of income/expenses.  Infact it’s been pretty much the exact same length of time that I’ve been heavily investing money and time capital into my main side incomes of matched-betting and kindle publishing. While both of these have so far been achieving returns far beyond my initial expectations, it has lead to an awkward situation whereby I’ve begun calculating time not…

Guest Post – The Risks & Rewards Of Forex Investment

So, instead of the normal investment promotion post I was happy to receive this one which highlights…
