Informative, unbiased, simplified for those of us who toy with markets, hugely witty…

Absolutely LOVE this blog. I have got sucked into reading various financial blogs over the years, grappling with the complexities of finance, interest rates, inflation, stock markets. Then Holly arrived in my inbox. I actually look forward to reading her blog, love her inspired, writing style, have learnt such a lot, and followed her suggestions on many occasions. It is so reassuring to read an impartial ‘take’ on the murky world of finance and know there’s no hidden agenda and that she’s on our team. Thank you Holly. Keep it up. We all need you.

Fantastic site for financials

I don’t remember where I found details of this site. However since finding it I have enjoyed my weekly emails on a Friday in addition to special one off‘s.

I really like the light hearted yet informative insight into the normally stuffy world of financial services. The site breaks down into nice simple bite sized pieces the topics of the week.

I have used the site to help decide on an ISA, for which I’m grateful.

I hope this site does well as it deserves to have the widest readership possible.

Good luck Boring Money.

Invest in this newsletter

The weekly newsletter is both informative and entertaining (the puns are nothing short of genius), busting financial jargon and simplifying investments for readers of all levels. I have been subscribed for over a year now and always look forward to reading it when it lands in my inbox each Friday.

Holly's weekly updates and website are superb

I read Holly's weekly updates regularly. Always amusing, she pitches valuable information in a very accessible way. I have used the site's guidance on investment and question answering function to personal advantage. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend other amateurish investors to explore the site frequently and never to miss her weekly updates
