It’s a joy to hear about how our members have overcome personal challenges to achieve their financial goals. In this video, Nicky, Derrick, James and Raquel describe extreme money worries, homelessness, feelings of marginalisation, and how COVID affected their money. But they all used Loqbox to build their credit and feel good about their finances again.

’s top financial reads and tips

My top 3 financial reads:

1. Unsettled Ground by Clare Fuller is a portrait of life on the fringes of society. A winner of the Costa Novel Award in 2021, it’s a heart-stopping story about how one moment can change your life and livelihood.

2. What they don’t teach you about money, by Claer Barrett, is a clear, helpful voice when almost every bill is on the rise.

3. Nooli, a financial wellness app brought to you by Loqbox, gives you the money knowledge you need to succeed.

My top 3 financial tips:

1. Clarity is kindness: Be clear about what you can afford and set healthy boundaries. It’s okay to say ‘no’ or suggest more affordable alternatives.

2. Your financial life doesn’t go in a straight line: Some days are trickier than others, especially if a big bill arrives. Tomorrow will be different. Keep up your healthy money habits and watch for the sunshine after the rain.

3. Saving even a tiny amount makes you feel good: A little goes a long way. Stick with it and save what you can when you can.
