About

I am a 40 something European (now British too!) who settled in London a long time ago. I happily live in the green suburbs with my husband and young daughter.

I’d like this blog to show my thinking and learning about money and financial independence, hoping to inspire women and men of any age and background to get empowered by understanding money and having a healthy relationship with it.
