How I Manage My Money As Featured In The I Paper

I have been sharing one simple step you can take to transform your finances for 11 months now.

And after the hard work and consistency we have made it into The I.

You might be thinking Pernia, you have been in several publications, why are you raving about this.

I appreciate and respect all the press I have received.

But I have been a reader of The I for a long time and this is also my first time in print.

I went to buy a copy from my local newsagent and when he found out I was in it - with my picture no less! - he told me he was proud someone local to him was in the paper doing good.

A complete stranger
Proud
Of me

My grandmother whatsapped me saying her and my father were proud of me.
My mother whatsapped me saying she loved it (my family loves whatsapp).
My father-in-law told me the article was very good.

The truth is I feel proud
Not just to be in the paper
But to be openly talking about money management

For too long money and personal finance has been a taboo topic.

But speaking about it openly helps us manage our money better.
It helps us re-evalute how we think about money.

Your One Simple Step this week is to

Have a money conversation with someone else

Whether it’s about the news (inflation rate is being published next week, autumn budget is coming in November) or whether it’s personal. Chat about money. Normalise it as a topic of conversation.

If you’re not comfortable having that conversation with people you know, hit reply and have it with me!
