ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Hi, I’m Kalpana.

I’m a mum, PhD scientist and lifelong learner. I started MoneySavvyUK to share the practical money-saving habits, research and experiments I use in real life — from cashback and household bills to learning new skills and building new income possibilities.

I am not a financial adviser. Where a topic involves tax, pensions, investments, mortgages or other important financial decisions, I use authoritative UK sources, separate personal experience from factual information and point out when professional advice may be appropriate.
