The Blog

Plain-English posts about mortgages, pensions, savings, property and the maths that underpins all of it. Written by someone who had to look most of this up themselves and is passing it on as they go.

Some posts are personal – moments of financial realisation, things I got wrong, things that turned out to be simpler than I expected. Some are educational – straightforward explanations of concepts that tend to get buried in jargon. All of them are written for people who are figuring this out rather than people who already have.

If you are not sure where to start, the Start Here page is a good place to begin.
