Resources
Multiple years of growing and investing the gap between income and expenses has led to this website and all my secrets contained within. As my net worth started rapidly increasing, my care of what other people think of me rapidly decreased. I became honest and open about finances, how frugal I am and my goal to achieve financial independence. Paradoxically, this seemed to draw people to me and they wanted to know “how do you do it?” and “what’s your secret?”
The secret is: there is no secret. Building wealth takes patience, hard work and discipline. It’s also a long game and anyone telling you that you can ‘get rich quick’ is either in a very small minority or lying quite frankly!
That being said, I have plenty that can help you to be successful. Everything from a free tracker to a savings challenge and a free budget template. I also have a comprehensive annual budgeting spreadsheet for sale in my Etsy shop and a complete money management course – Boss Bramley Budgeting.

Food
Everyone loves to eat, right? Food is a budget category that most people overspend in and one that can easily and quickly be adapted, whilst still being able to prepare and provide delicious, healthy food for all the family.
Here I share my secrets, tips and recipes that led to us slashing our grocery bill in half and freeing up so much money to invest. I mostly cook simple, healthy meals and follow a system that ensures that there is always healthy food on hand and no temptation to order takeout (OK, the odd temptation, but we’re all human aren’t we?!?!).
