Have a good day everyone"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee7 -

It was lovely at the beach today, quiet when we first got down there, but then got busy.ย It was lovely to have some fresh sea air.ย It was mild!ย The sun came out a couple of times and it was lovely.ย We also had ice creams
Went to visit the folks this afternoon, so we've had a chilled day.
Hope everyone has had a good one"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee7 -
