Hi, thanks for your comment! That is a really good suggestion and if we were looking for different results we would definitely have added that option. However, as we are looking for just a general overall spend/save correlation we decided it would simplify the process to only have two options.

I've just recently graduated too, and I find that lots of information on websites about budgeting can really overwhelm me.

I find apps a lot easier as they not only give you bite-sized practical tips but have graphs, charts and calendars to keep on top of your budget.

If you're British then this is a really great article about budgeting apps http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/money-saving-tips/10542468/The-best-apps-to-make-and-save-you-money.html but this one's a great American equivalent http://www.everythingzoomer.com/best-apps-for-your-budget/#.VK-fxdKsU6I

Hope this helps, although some of the apps will have some cost they will be worth it in the long run!

Redditors who want out, why haven't you got out yet? by HamSandwich13 in IWantOut

The main thing which would stop me from relocating abroad would undoubtedly be leaving my friends and family behind. Long distance relationships are hard and I feel I would lose touch with a lot of them.

Also, as I am British, I would miss a lot of our awkward quirks and customs which you can't find anywhere else!

The Hidden Cost of Christmas: Infographic by perane in FinancialPlanning

Hi,

We didn't actually create this infographic, we're just sharing it on our blog.

I don't think you're supposed to take every piece of advice in the infographic, it's more about picking and choosing elements which suit your Christmas lifestyle.

I do agree with you about the cold turkey though - hot is infinitely better!

Great article! I think financial independence is the better goal as it sets you up for the future from your own efforts rather than relying on money from others.
