Have You Seen Mouthy Money?
I have mentioned Mouthy Money a few times on Pounds and Sense. Some of you will be aware I’m a regular contributor to this UK personal finance website.
But while I’ve talked about it in passing a few times, I have never really discussed Mouthy Money properly on PAS. So I thought I should rectify that today!
What Is Mouthy Money?
Mouthy Money is a website dedicated to helping people understand financial matters and make the most of their money. It is run by a small, dedicated team from an office in London. Their efforts are supplemented by a team of freelance writers, researchers and bloggers, including myself.
Every week new articles are added to the website. They are in four main categories, as follows:
Earning covers boosting your income, e.g. by starting a side hustle. Saving is all about reducing your outgoings, while Spending is about getting the best value for your money, e.g. on your weekly groceries shop. Your Questions answers specific questions sent in by readers, e.g. What happens if I can’t pay my tax bill?
The main menu runs across the top of the page. You can scroll down to see the latest articles in the order in which they were added. Alternatively, you can click on any of the four category titles to see the latest articles in the category concerned.
If you scroll further down the Mouthy Money homepage, you will see brief biographies of all the regular contributors, including myself. They include my fellow bloggers and writers Shoestring Jane, Finance Dee, Tolu Frimpong, Jordon Cox, Dana Raer, and so on. There are also bios of the site’s co-editors Paul Thomas and Edmund Greaves. Clicking on any of these will take you to a page listing all articles on Mouthy Money by the person in question.
