Moneys always been a struggle for me. I despised school due to bullying and because of this I bunked off quite a lot. I didn't sit any of my GCSE's. Work wise there hasn't been many opportunities because I had no qualifications leaving school. I currently work full time earning just above minimum wage in an entry level job. It's ok, it pays the bills but that's about it. I have no disposable income once my rent and bills have been paid every month (like many people).
It's a constant slog. I live in a lovely flat in a nice enough area but I absolutely hate renting, I feel like I might as well throw money down the toilet once a month. I'm desperate to get on the property ladder but it's just so difficult trying to save whilst paying rent/bills at the same time. It will take me years to save up a half decent deposit. Jesus, they don't make it easy for people do they?
Anyway, this wasn't suppose to be a sympathy post. If I won the lottery, I'd definitely buy myself a house, nothing extravagant. I'd love to live in a cottage with a wood burner. I would give my family money, especially my mum so she could retire (only 3 years left bless her). My auntie as well because she's a single mum and also struggles. I currently work in a nursery and have worked in a few different settings over the years which (in my opinion) have been terrible. I'd love to open up my own child care setting because of this. A few holiday destinations might even be on the cards too, New York being one of them.
Would love to hear what other people would spend their winnings on? (If you're lucky enough to win 
). Light hearted post! Money isn't everything.
