LoveReading Says
A self-proclaimed natural-born saver Gemma has made a lifestyle out of being canny. At 17 she bought her first £7,000 car and by 23 juggling 3 jobs she'd saved up enough to pay off her mortgage. Now aged 40, she's mortgage free with 2 children and has never earned more than £25,000 per annum.
It's a brilliant story of triumph through adversity, she didn't have wealthy parents, a pot of money to fall back on and was on a low income. Nothing came easy for Bird, but through hard work and her savvy attitude, she's become someone you'll want to follow. Whether Instagram or TikTok is your social preference, follow Money Mum and keep up-to-date with the latest and greatest money saving hints and tips. I can't get enough of her. As Bird says: "Money is not a secret recipe that only rich people know. It’s a mindset and an attitude that anyone can have." Now, just in time to help you tackle rising inflation, Bird has written a book full of practical advice to help you reboot your finances without feeling the pinch. I was mentally clocking each and every tip as as I hungrily read away. I'm rubbish with money and although some of this I knew, it's a great usable and tangible guide that can help anyone get their money management back on track. And there are loads of things I didn't know and hadn't thought about and that's the beauty of this book. Bird has done the hard work for you. With advice on everything from making your hard-won money that little bit smarter, getting discounts and savings, to turning assets into revenue streams to building financial security and having difficult conversations and involving the children, she's thought of everything. And don't forget the glossy glossary to help you navigate the jargon.

Just by spending a little less on everyday small costs or being savvy with your choices, you will naturally have a little more for the finer things in life. My exciting new book will show you everything you need to know to save money and be truly happy forever.
When you're trying to manage a busy family, it's easy to lose sight of the things that really matter and feel like you're drowning in worries while the pennies are drowning away.
So many of us feel we have to pretend to be wealthier than we are and try to hide it when we can't afford something. Why though, when we are all sharing what we had for our tea and how many press ups we did that morning on social media, can't we be more honest about our finances? Why is there still so much shame and secrecy about being a bit strapped for cash, or in debt?
I feel really strongly that it has got to change, and I'm here to get you through it..
I want to empower women and girls to take responsibility for their own financial futures. To have those difficult conversations and do the uncomfortable maths, because believe me one day you will be so glad you did.
From starting small and making little changes to your everyday habits, through building a second income into your lifestyle, to going for the big goals in your life that you might think are out of your reach - this book will help you reboot your finances one money tip at a time.
Because money isn't a secret recipe that only rich people know, it's a mindset and an attitude that anyone can have. And Money Mum is here, as always, to show you how.
Now stick the kettle on, grab a pen and paper and let's start saving you some serious cash!"
Inside you'll find:

About Gemma Bird
Gemma Bird AKA Money Mum is a hard-working mother of two from Essex. After years of working multiple jobs at once, from picking mushrooms to working as an estate agent, Gemma never earned more than £25k a year and yet managed to pay off her £225k mortgage. To achieve this, Gemma had to come up with some careful and creative methods of saving every penny and consequently the thought occurred to her that others may be interested in this too...
Gemma then launched @MoneyMumofficial on Instagram to help others save cash. She now regularly shares money-saving tips and promotes her 'No Spend Day' and 'Make Money Day' to her whopping 218k loyal followers. As her platform has continued to grow, brands like Amazon, Pampers, Tescos, and McDonalds have reached out to partner with her.
