In this section you will find links to blog posts from Now We Live that focus on money.  These articles will look at everything from investments to debt management.  Included below are links to books on Amazon that have proven valuable to improving my own financial education.  

At the bottom of this page are links to debt management charities and resources.  

Please note that although I have read extensively around money and investments, I am not a qualified financial advisor.  Anything I post is based on my own analysis of my own situation and circumstances.  All investment carries an element of risk.  Money invested can be lost.  Any investment without research is gambling. 

My aim, when writing about money, is to encourage discussion and to motivate and inspire people to think more about their own financial future.  If you have any questions about the content of these articles, please get in touch using the contact form here.

Thank you for reading and for your interest in Now We Live.
