We’re David and Jennifer.
We started MoneyHints.com after one too many “Where did all our money go?” moments.
Back then, we were newly married, living in a rented flat, juggling jobs, bills, and a fridge that made weird noises.
We weren’t broke, but we weren’t in control either.
Paydays came and went.
So did unexpected expenses.
And every month, we’d tell ourselves the same thing: “Next month will be different.”
It never was.
Eventually, we started tracking where every pound went.
It was eye-opening.
We realised we weren’t overspending on big stuff.
It was the little things—takeaways, random Amazon buys, forgotten subscriptions.
We got serious about money—not in a spreadsheet-heavy, finance-bro kind of way.
Just simple, practical stuff that worked for us.
We read books.
We tried budgeting apps.
We tested savings hacks, cashback apps, side hustles—you name it.
Some of it worked.
Some of it didn’t.
We built systems we actually stuck with.
And slowly, things changed.
We saved our first £1,000.
Paid off the credit card.
Eventually bought a house (with a second-hand kettle and an eBay sofa).
Now we’re sharing everything we’ve learned here.
No fluff.
No jargon.
Just helpful money tips for real life.
We write everything ourselves, based on what we’ve tried and tested.
We’re not financial advisers.
We’re a couple who got tired of winging it.
So if you’ve ever felt like your money disappears without warning…
Or you want to save more without giving up everything you enjoy…
You’re in the right place.
Thanks for being here.
