63% of single Gen Z's are now choosing to spend their £ on self-care & wellness instead of pursuing a partner.

The logic: Why "gamble" £ on a first date that might go nowhere, when the same amount buys a wellness weekend that guarantees you feel better?

We’ve been conditioned to think that thriftiness is a tragedy, but we disagree.

✅ Home-cooked meals over takeout cycle

✅ Financial peace over luxury appointments

✅ Intentionality over mindless spending

Redefine what a "good life" looks like for you, not what others say.

You make a New Year’s resolution to save more…
Then January sales hit 😅

✅ Have a list (and stick to it)
✅ Use the 24-hour rule
✅ Check the “real” price
✅ Set a sales budget
✅ Unsubscribe & logout

Saving doesn’t mean never spending. It just means spending on purpose.

We’ve been taught that budgeting means you’re struggling.

But it can actually be less about restriction and more about intention.

We're challenging a big money myth. Check why saying “I’m on a budget” often has nothing to do with being broke.

Have you joined the 1p Savings Challenge? There's still time!

The concept is simple. You save a little bit more every day:

Jan 1st: Save 1p

Jan 2nd: Save 2p

Jan 3rd: Save 3p...and so on.

By the end of 2026, you’ll have saved £667.95!

It’s a week after payday, you check your bank account, and… how is it that low already?

If you’re tired of the "manual math" or just guessing your way through the month, it might be time to try a budgeting app.

January is usually full of ads telling you to buy things to "improve" yourself. We want to celebrate what normal consumption looks like.

Which of these "normal" habits are you most proud of?👇
