WITH 5:2 lifestyle: live healthy happy and successful..

YOUR FINANCES

Financial admin can be boring  and scary if you're allergic to figures or have let it slide.
Break it down into small bursts of activity to make it easier.On one of your two days, assess your personal finances by gathering all your money information into plastic wallets  including statements, bills and receipts.

Once you've studied them and have an over-view, you can start working your way through the following options: tackle one per 5:2 day.

1. Is it time to get a lower-rate credit card or to switch your mortgage? Look up alternative deals online.
2. Can you get a better rate of interest on your savings? Check the rates on all your accounts and consider switching.
3. Have you tried one of the budget supermarkets? Do you buy own brands? Think about joining a library instead of buying new books  or taking home-made sandwiches and a  vacuum flask of coffee to work.
