Women’s money diaries often prove incendiary when published online, as I realised when mine went up earlier this year. Money diaries are reliably incendiary on social media – hence their popularity. So, in the spirit of gender equality, nearly a year since my money diary was published, am I any closer to home ownership? In 11 months, I have saved six weeks’ salary without going into debt – or even cutting down on coffee. Once I was convinced of the need to save each month, my spending seemed to contract to accommodate it.
