Things I wish I had realised in my 50’s
Look after your feet it’s the only pair you have
Monthly pedicures, twice year chiropodist
Never mix business and pleasure
If you are self employed know your worth,
Everyone pays for your time
Savings are important, a small amount soon makes a difference –
UK premium bonds,
Get a Revolut card, it’s a bank/savings and currency card, add weekly £10
Every time you don’t go out for a fancy coffee, have one at home and save a $5
Never buy the most expensive item, plum for the middle, buy cheap buy twice
Pay your way – don’t expect anything for free, you expect to be paid for your job so does everyone else
Unfortunately not every ‘friend’ is looking out for you or got your back in a good way
And finally …
The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot.” —Michael Altshuler
