Kel, otherwise known as Mrs. Smart Money, is a mindful money mentor and author of the sellout book ‘Mindful Money, More Money, More Freedom, More Happiness’ from Orpen Press. She helps people who are fed up with being on the back foot with money and life. She has developed a system to get your income working for you so that you can take the stress out of money and buy back your freedom and choice, one slice at a time. Kel gives some great examples and tips of how she has been able to save her family hundreds of euros every month on groceries. Our conversation touches on clothing and how you can get rid of things you never wear, organizing things and spending less on current styles. There is a great importance of making sure you put at least a little bit of money aside, even if money is tight, for you and your spouse to spend separately, and then money meant for your family to go and do something fun.

“I think it’s really really important, even if money is a bit tight, to find a small amount in the budget every month that each individual parent gets that is their money to spend as they please for something that’s just for them. Not for coffee out with friends, but something purely for them that they love to do, and that I think is really, really important.” 32:26
