Sponsored Post¦ With the inflation racing ahead, it is no surprise that families are facing a tough time dealing with their expenditures. The costs of living and raising a child have indeed skyrocketed over the last couple of years. Even those families with double incomes are struggling to meet the expenses. Moreover, over the years, it indeed costs a lot to live on the planet when you think of the basic essentials like food, clothing, and shelter. Education for children is a priority, and then there are other aspects of good living like enjoying a good quality of life with holidays, shopping and eating out.

Guest Post: Is Society Sexist?
I’m papa to two wonderful children, a boy (6) and a girl (2). For the sake of this post, let’s call them Norman and May.
Norman is very anxious; he is naturally scared of the world and things he doesn’t understand.
May is amazingly confident and outgoing, already she isn’t afraid to express things or push boundaries. She’ll go so far as to protect and support her brother if he’s upset!
As a parent, seeing your child show so much compassion so young is overwhelmingly beautiful. I am extremely proud of both, even when pushing me over the edge, my babies are beacons of light and positivity in my life.
This aside, I have one concern for my daughter right now. Equality.
Struggling financially? Take some simple steps for a better future
Collaborative Post¦ According to the most recent government statistics, over 14 million people in the UK are currently living below the poverty line. That’s more than one in five of us. To put it into context, that’s twice the number of people who are left handed, and three times the number that are vegetarian.
How strange, then, that while being a “leftie” (from a dexterity perspective – no politics here!) or a veggie are common topics of discussion, poverty is the elephant in the room that nobody wants to talk about. 14 million is too big a number to ignore, though, so if you’re struggling to make ends meet, perhaps it’s time to face the challenge head on.
