"Emma Jackson didn't have much money growing up - but that didn't stop her from buying her first home at age 25 and saving enough to pay off the mortgage two years later. The British blogger told Business Insider that, growing up, she was aware her parents were in financial difficulty after they had bad mortgage advice that left them in debt. She and her brothers started contributing to the household once they could, which helped her focus on being "really savvy" with money."
"Jackson started her "Bee Money Savvy" money advice blog in 2017. She said the idea for the blog came about because her friends would ask her how she made it through to payday working a part-time job without struggling when they were earning twice as much as she was. "I thought, I'll set that up, write what I'm doing, and my friends can sort of copy me, and they can improve their finances," she said."
Emma Jackson grew up with limited money and experienced her parents' financial difficulty after poor mortgage advice left them in debt. She and her brothers contributed to the household when able, which motivated her to be financially savvy. Jackson began saving part of her wages at 17 to afford a home. She bought her first apartment at 25 and paid off the mortgage within two years. Jackson started the Bee Money Savvy blog in 2017 to share practical saving and side-income tactics. Income sources include paid surveys, cashback credit cards, competitions, a job in higher education, and rental income, totaling about £5,000 monthly.
