Make More Money. Save and Invest. Retire Early.

Who doesn’t want more money? Who doesn’t want a higher paid job with fewer hours? Who doesn’t want to semi-retire tomorrow?

Unless you are in the top 20% of earners, you’re becoming relatively poorer every day. The consumerist draws on your fruggle lifestyle makes retiring early seem a distant dream.

I am Money Mage and I’ll be writing on growing your wealth, how to make more money, how to save and invest, how to live frugally, and eventually retire early. Whilst always living well, looking after yourself, and having fun!
