About me, my goals and why I get a kick out of saving
My name is Alex Wilson and I am the blogger behind Savings Guide™ and I started to write about saving money well over 5 years ago. I am a big believer in consumers standing up to be heard and never settling for second best.I often post saving money tips that the big retailers wish I wouldn't. I do this to show people how to save money by making smarter choices and ignoring the hype of marketing.
I have previously had credit card debts of $20,000+ and went on to repay every dollar, closing them for good. I find ways to regularly pay more than I have to on my mortgage and my life goal is to retire when I want to, not when I have to.
To me, saving money is an easy way to get an instant payrise. So if you want to get your finances in order and begin to regain control of your money - sign up to my newsletter and visit the site daily.
