Another expensive month this one! It’s my two year anniversary this month, as well as having a lot of birthdays to think about. Still, the clocks have gone forward now, and the lighter evenings are a really pleasant change. Anyway, let’s get down to the figures.

An expensive month this one! Not only do I have my wife’s birthday to think about it, it’s also mine. Chuck in a trip to see Killing Joke play (an old punky type metal band) and it’s all adding up to a tricky month to financially navigate. A couple of quiet weekends required I’m reckoning. [...]

So, it’s that time of the year. February’s a bit of a funny time of year. It’s normally freezing, and the weather wizard hasn’t disappointed on that front. It’s normally a shorter month, so less time to wait for payday, but as it’s a cheeky leap year, even that doesn’t really count. Anyway, I’ll stop [...]

So, happy new year! Here we are again. I am sitting here struggling to believe that it was just over a year ago now that Money Superstar was born, and I began to share with you my past failures to manage money, as well as laying bare for all to see my total debt.

Firstly, an apology. I have been away for too long, and for this I am sorry. Anyway, I am back and with news! There has been a good reason for my sloth like productivity in recent times. I have taken a piece of my own advice

Is that time again, my monthly money check up. I sit here writing this at home, on the 1st of October. It is Saturday morning, and is red hot outside, the sunshine actually interfering with my attempts to write this.

So a quick review. Where am I? I’ve made some grumpy phone calls, I’ve become frustrated and annoyed, and I’ve not really moved any closer to getting some money in my hand. I decided that a bit less whinging was needed, and that I would benefit from some actual action.

I was at work when the phone rang. This isn’t unusual, as it does ring from time to time, normally resulting in me ending up with more work. So it was with a degree of caution that I answered. I was surprised that it was my PPI company.

For those of you who are regular readers, I’m sure you’ll be delighted and relieved to know that my best man’s speech went down a storm, and the groom is still talking to me – which is a bonus! Autumn is here, and after what is apparently the coolest summer for 16 years, it’s time [...]

I’m a married man. I expect a lot of my happy readers (that’s you, by the way) could well also be married, or perhaps living with a partner. So how does this impact on how you manage your money, and should it mean that you have a joint account? I have heard all different types [...]

Unfortunately there is potentially bad news ahead for University graduates who began their studies before 1998, as from September 2011 they will incur an increase in their interest charges (from 4.4% to 5.3%). If like me, you started University after 1998, you may not be immune to these increased charges either, as if the Bank [...]

We’re in the midst of summer, and I can’t believe how fast 2011 is disappearing. It seems to me that every year feels a little quicker than the last, but that could just be because I’m so focussed on getting to the next pay day to reduce my debts further!
