Don’t you feel like women sometimes have their head in the sand when it comes to money? And this in turn impacts on the choices we make (or don’t make) and the culture of fear around checking our bank balances and taking control rather than letting money or a lack of it control us. In this episode Anniki interviews Clare Seal who is the creator of the My Frugal Year Instagram account and author of Real Life Money: An Honest Guide To Taking Control Of Your Finances.Clare found herself in a large amount of debt (27k) last year and has documented the challenges of getting to grips with money and re-paying some of that debt. They talk about how money is often not the real issue, the challenges of finding cheap things to do with kids and how to take the first few steps into understanding your finances and feeling more in control of what you spend.
