I am quite good with money. I know exactly how to spend it all
I am quite good with money . I know exactly how to spend it all for a maximum return on happiness. Really I should be given loads of it on this basis. I wouldn't squirrel it away in anything as selfish as 'savings' where it wouldn't do the economy much good. I'd be out there stimulating it away, one unnecessary TK Maxx scented candle at a time. That's the kind of thoughtful, community-minded gal I am. You would think from this attitude that I grew up wealthy and insulated from knowing the cost of anything. That I never saw a bill on the kitchen table. That I ate an avocado before the age of 25. Instead I grew up in a family constantly trying to save money. I suspect it's the thing holding us together at this point. I'm not sure my parents even like each other but they'll be damned if they let legal fees eat into their retirement pot. My place in the family may only be determined by my Netflix and newspaper subscriptions plus my willingness to share passwords. [ As an Irish person in Australia there is one question I'm always asked Opens in new window ] My father will turn off the air conditioner in the car – on a 45-degree day – when it's going up a hill. What he saves on fuel, we all pay for in physical and mental health. He refuses to unlock the car door with anything other than the physical key because the car door clicker only has an infinite number of 'clicks' in it. Hell will freeze over before he lets the car door clicker industrial complex scam him into forking out for a replacement key. My older brother, meanwhile, still insists on me buying child tickets for the football. What might have worked when I was an underdeveloped 16-year-old is fooling no one now I'm in my 30s. The collagen has gone from my face, along with the light behind my eyes. It's why I spend money now like I'm trying to buy my way out of feeling poor. READ MORE If money doesn't buy happiness, it sure creates the conditions most conducive to it I cannot empathise with Irish friends when they reminisce about when they used to have more money than they do now accompanied by a sighed 'but that was in the boom times'. I never had a boom time but on the other hand I was privileged enough to not get hit personally by the recession. I've just gone from being paid minimum wage and having no savings to being paid a salary and having a small amount of savings that I can't really do anything with. As house prices and rent go up, it's looking less likely it will ever be enough for a house deposit. Or an investment I can whack away for 10 years. It's a paper-thin buffer between me and being homeless if I suddenly lost my job. And I'm grateful for it; it's more than a lot of people have. A little emergency fund makes me one of the lucky ones in this cost-of-living crisis. But it makes sacrificing life's small joys to save cash hard, when you're not sure it will be enough to get you the most modest of homes – rented or bought. The social contract of 'work hard and save and you'll be comfortable' doesn't work in this housing crisis. [ Brianna Parkins: Posh people know I don't belong in fancy places Opens in new window ] Which makes my love of watching 'Extreme Cheapskates' and obsession with frugal content makers feel like self-flagellation. I don't even like the sound of the word 'frugal' – it feels cold and plastic, like a thin polyester jumper that lets the wind cut right through you. Part of me wishes I could be like these people who can retire early or work part-time because they charge their phones on the train to save on the electricity bill. There's a lot to learn from them, like focusing on spending quality time with the kids in your life instead of guilt-buying presents. Or decoupling our self-worth from spending. But then I'll see someone water down cottage cheese or mix cold mayonnaise into pasta and commit defamation by calling it dinner. They may have paid the mortgage off by 40 but at what cost? If money doesn't buy happiness, it sure creates the conditions most conducive to it. Winning the lotto would solve 90 per cent of my immediate problems which, in turn, would make me pretty happy. I would be able to delete LinkedIn forever. I would be free. But until that happens, all I have are the small treats to make life worth living. The little cake from the bakery, the taxi when it's raining and fast-track passes for airport security. Stopping at school fetes to buy some truly atrocious arts and crafts by proud children. Overpriced movie popcorn with that inimitable butter taste you can't get from a microwave. Follow me for more sound financial advice. You can't go wrong.

Shoppers go wild for new must-have TK Maxx ‘Ibiza bags' as they say their cards are at the ready
Read on for the top fashion trends of the year BAG IT UP Shoppers go wild for new must-have TK Maxx 'Ibiza bags' as they say their cards are at the ready Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WHETHER you're off on holiday or have a summer wedding coming up, there's always an excuse to buy a new bag. And it seems TK Maxx is the place to go as fashion fans are drooling over their delicate beaded bags. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Shoppers go wild for new must-have TK Maxx Ibiza bags Credit: Tiktok/@tkmaxx 4 These delicate beaded bags are perfect for a beach club or a fancy dinner Credit: Tiktok/@tkmaxx 4 There are multiple colours to pick from, if you can find them Credit: Tiktok/@tkmaxx Recently, the discount store took to social media announcing they had a new collection of the bags available to buy in stores across the UK. These beaded numbers have since been dubbed the 'Ibiza bag' on social media by fashion fans. The term has been coined as the micro bags are the perfect luxury accessory to dress up any outfit, whether you're out clubbing or at a beach club. And there's plenty to pick from in TK Maxx, which shared the new designs online. Many are from the brand Mirasol, which is stocked in the shops and is handcrafted in India. The first bag they showed was a tiny red bag decorated in sequins, beads and tassels. Also on offer was a white floral beaded bucket-bag style as well as a more party-friendly red sequin bag. They also had two new green beaded bags on offer, as well as a slightly large pink woven bag with silver sequins. "They're back! Don't miss THE perfect summer bag," wrote TK Maxx. The bags vary in price but many of the cheaper options start at just £19.99 4 The price of the bags starts at just £19.99 Credit: TK Maxx Primark is selling the perfect beach bag for your summer holiday - it's lightweight, waterproof and shoppers can't get enough of the sparkles As with all TK Maxx finds, the availability of designs will differ from store to store, so you'll want to head out soon if there's a particular one you are after. The clip shared on the TK Maxx TikTok account went viral with over 2 million views. Comments on social media featuring the bags from TK Maxx prove just how popular they have become. One person wrote: "Take my card." Hottest fashion trends of 2025 Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street. The East/West Bag Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s' shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber. In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder. They've been on runway models' arms at nearly ever designer show - think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta - and are hitting the high street now, too. Powder pink Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of Barbie in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025. Pantone may say that it's the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own. If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour. The shell jacket The '80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025. We all know we're likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket. Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in '80s windbreakers'. Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion! The turn-up jeans While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we're styling them is different. This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups. For this look, size doesn't matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good - but only as it's just one single fold. Peep-toe shoe Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event. After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style. From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street. Sheer blouses See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life - until now. Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S '25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season. Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks. Another commented: 'They are stunning." "Just got mine - they're stunning!" penned a third. Meanwhile a fourth said: "I'm RUNNING." "Unreal,' claimed a fifth. Someone else added: 'I need."
