THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Save a fortune and transform your lifestyle in 2022.

If you're worried about the rising cost of living, then Instagram sensation Money Mum is here to help you save thousands without even noticing.

'Money Mum, here, coming to you, as always, with another money tip! You don't have to be wealthy or earn a huge salary to achieve all the things you want in life—and I'm here to show you how. Just by spending a little less on everyday small costs or being savvy with your choices, you will naturally have a little more for the finer things in life. My exciting new book will show you everything you need to know to save money and be truly happy forever.

When you're trying to manage a busy family, it's easy to lose sight of the things that really matter and feel like you're drowning in worries while the pennies are drowning away.

So many of us feel we have to pretend to be wealthier than we are and try to hide it when we can't afford something. Why though, when we are all sharing what we had for our tea and how many press ups we did that morning on social media, can't we be more honest about our finances? Why is there still so much shame and secrecy about being a bit strapped for cash, or in debt?

I feel really strongly that it has got to change, and I'm here to get you through it....

I want to empower women and girls to take responsibility for their own financial futures. To have those difficult conversations and do the uncomfortable maths, because believe me one day you will be so glad you did.

From starting small and making little changes to your everyday habits, through building a second income into your lifestyle, to going for the big goals in your life that you might think are out of your reach—this book will help you reboot your finances one money tip at a time.

Because money isn't a secret recipe that only rich people know, it's a mindset and an attitude that anyone can have. And Money Mum is here, as always, to show you how.

Now stick the kettle on, grab a pen and paper and let's start saving you some serious cash!'

Inside you'll find:

  • My ultimate deals and tips, covering everything from shopping and bills to selling unwanted items
  • How to follow my weekly 'No Spend Day' and 'Make Money Day'
  • What your money mindset does to your anxiety levels and the impact social media has on your spending
  • Tips for getting the whole family talking about money from an early age
  • Spending tracker templates, charts and plenty of space for your own notes!

Uncomfortable but important and so practical

I really didn’t enjoy listening to this, I’m not going to lie. But, you know what, I’m glad my doppelgänger decided I needed to download it. Gemma is quite simply no-nonsense helpful. I didn’t enjoy it BECAUSE EVERYTHING SHE SAYS IS TRUE!!!! And my inner judge doesn’t like the fact that this is a serious weakness of mine. If you think you may be interested or need it, just give it a go - what’s to lose? She’s not like me AT ALL. And that’s why she’s brilliant. Thank you. 2023, let’s make a change…

Narrated by the Author which for me makes this....

I had been indecisive on whether to buy the hardcopy, kindle or audio for this book. I decided on buying the Kindle version and the audible so that I could go between the two. The fact its narrated by Gemma really brings across her passion and I have really enjoyed this book. Full of down to earth useful tips without jargon. Fab book.

I can’t stop listening to this

I love this book. I love Gemma’s voice, I can’t stop listening. I’ve found myself nodding along to it.
If you want some practical advice, not just about money but about anxiety as well. Saying it like it is which we never do.

It’s truthful and will give you a fresh perspective on money and life.

overrated

provided nothing new, all the information is readily available free on internet. I don't leaves reviews but after the hype wanted to save others money by not buying or using a credit for this book.

Saving advice?

I was expecting to hear something useful like how to grow money but it was more on saving pennies. I get that that’s also a mindset necessary for saving but wasn’t really form me. Nothing to learn from it to be honest.

Disappointed

The title made me think it was saving tips for the average UK working mum but its so not. I don’t think this person is in a position to give average mums tips on savings when she buys her kids Monclear coats every winter. How many of the average uk working families can afford them. Also just what we all need is advice on how to get a cheap Gucci handbag because all of us mums have them (cheap or not!) The books definitely needs renaming! Stopped about 1/3 way through when I just thought - You really don’t have a clue what been broke truly is!
