We took out a loan to get solar panels because the repayments with interest worked out cheaper than our electricity bill. It should pay for itself within 2-3 years.

I use revolut for everyday spending and use the spare change for holiday spending money so I never touch my bank account. Also the days I wfh I save what I would spend on the bus journey, coffee, lunch into my spare change. It's only a small thing but it works great for me

Created monthly savings pockets in my Revolut for Christmas, Holidays, Rainy Day, Private Health Insurance and Treats. Great way to save. Also use grocery shopping apps and I always make a shopping list so I don’t forget the good deals. But the best one recently- a simple phone call to my mobile and broadband provider has saved me €80 per month. That 40 minute phone call was so worth it!! Last but not least-listening to you Eoin and your great advice, and signing up to Choice Financial Review with Prosperous- great peace of mind for your bigger financial decisions and your future. Worth every penny, and the guys are great at explaining things very simply. Peace of mind at the end of the day🙌🏻🙌🏻

Always check for better quotes on insurance when your car is up for insurance renewal tell them you can better price elsewhere they will always give you discount as they don't want to loose your business to their competitors🥰🥰🥰

put all the day to day spending through revolut, if you enable the spare change feature you can build up a nice pile of cash to deal with unexpected costs
