Welcome — I’m Pete, founder of Household Money Saving.
A few years ago, I was drowning in debt, stuck in a job I didn’t enjoy, and had zero savings. After years of research, budgeting, and trial and error, I turned things around — paid off every penny, built a savings buffer, and in 2023, left my 20-year civil service career for good.
Now, through Household Money Saving, I share practical, proven ways to save money, make extra income, and manage your finances smarter. No scams, no risky schemes — just genuine, experience-based advice that helps you take control of your money.
You’ll find budgeting tips, side hustle ideas, bill-cutting strategies, and investment updates as I work toward building more passive income and long-term financial freedom.
My work has been featured in The Telegraph, Mail Online, The Express, The Sun, Yahoo! News, The Metro, The Mirror, LADbible, The i Paper and I also appeared on BBC TV’s Morning Live.
