When you're just too spenerous (generous with your spending)
I’m a 28-year-old marketing & communications manager living in Preston, Lancashire.
Part of Cleo’s charm is to help you track where your money goes each month. And as you can imagine, the data’s looking a bit different these days (obvi it’s all anonymized and no, it’s not for sale. You can read more about Cleo’s security policy here).
