+ Lucy's guide to breaking up with Klarna ❌🛍️
Ditch the hauls ❌👜🎄
Financielle community… believe us when we say we are triggered with the changing of the season.
It feels like brands and influencers have supercharged their promos this year. From beautifully curated Christmas gifts, winter hauls and luxury weekend getaways it’s enough to even tempt the most financially savvy of us.
But don’t worry, we’re here to be your accountability buddy and be in your pocket (literally) every step of the way. This isn’t a message about frugality… far from it. Like any restrictive diet sooner or later you’re going to fall off the wagon, but not with the Financielle budget. We created a budget you can finally stick to, taking into account both your wants and needs so you won’t miss out.

Sinking funds save lives 🛟
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again. A sure fire way to stay in control of your money is by creating sinking funds.
This is a pot of money ring fenced for a planned expense and the best use case we share every year is Christmas. It comes around the same time every single year, so why is it most of us feel caught out, surprised and stressed… very stressed.
Imagine you want £800 to spend at Christmas time. In your first January pay cheque you create an area labelled Christmas in a space (Starling), a pot (Monzo) or Buckets (Ally).
£800 divided into 12 pay cheques (if you get paid monthly) would be £67 per month to put away into your Sinking Fund.
Imagine arriving at Christmas and the money is sat waiting for you… absolute game changer!
Head to the Financielle Budget to create your sinking funds now 🙌🏼
