Shush money

You may have heard about "loud budgeting" - a crucial tenet of it being people shouting and sharing loudly about their money decisions, especially on social media.

"Loud budgeting is letting everybody know how much money you've got, what you're doing with it, what you can't afford and what you're not willing to afford," explains Vix Leyton, consumer expert at thinkmoney.

"Whereas quiet budgeting is a little bit more low-key, a little bit more old school. It's about getting your money in the right place in a completely fuss-free way."
