In our How I Manage My Money series we aim to find out how people in the UK are spending, saving and investing money to meet their costs and achieve their goals.
This week we speak to Matt George, 46, who lives in Newlyn, Cornwall, with his wife, Em, 37, and their two-year-old son, Penn. Matt, who runs Kernow Coasteering, has no money in pensions and hopes his rental property will act as his pension in later life. His work is highly seasonal and he’d love to earn £100,000 a year in the future.
Monthly budget
My income: I have about £40,000 a year coming in from my business, Kernow Coasteering. It’s highly seasonal, so it’s hard to think of it as a monthly figure. My wife works as an accountant on a part-time basis.
We have £875 a month coming in from a rental property. I also do affiliate marketing work on the side via the Amazon Influencer Programme, mainly aimed at the US, which is bringing in an income of about £700 a month. We also get £100 for Child Benefit each month.
