Starting your own business (or working freelance like so many of us do) may affect how you can afford the other big goals in your life, such as. buying a house, having kids and even retiring.

That's why Caroline's Hughe's fintech platform, Lifetise, is getting so much traction. Lifetise helps anyone work out what they need to do to afford the things they want to achieve.

Of course, Covid19 isn't helping anyone's ability to budget or plan ahead, but we may all be saving a few pounds by not leaving the house! Still, this is a great time to upskill, develop that side hustle and build businesses that are robust and sustainable in such unusual times.
