Coming Into A Family Inheritance? 3 Tips To Using It Well

*Collaborative Post

Family inheritance can be a sticky subject, depending on how they are acquired. Usually, it’s in the form of a passing relative deciding to include you in their will. Sometimes this inheritance can come to you thanks to an estate being willfully transferred. It’s possible for other relations to come in and muddy the smooth flow of this transference, but for this article, we’ll assume that everything has gone well, and now your only choice is figuring out what to do with the money. Should you save it? Should you splurge it? Should you lock it in a savings account and hopefully grow it with interest?

3 Things You Never Knew You Needed to Tell HMRC About (And Why It’ll Make Your Life Easier if You Do)

*Collaborative Post

Sometimes, it can feel like it’s all we can do just to get by in our day to day lives. The cost of living is rising with inflation but our wages are not rising to meet them. In an era where public sector workers have experienced years of pay freezes and workers in a range of industries experience the longest sustained period of wage repression since records began, it’s little wonder that many working parents turn to a range of side hustles to supplement their income. After all, why shouldn’t we make a little more money so that we can save for our kids’ futures and do our best to improve their quality of life?
