Urgh what a day! I have been forced to seriously adult today. So many things that need to be sorted out. And not the fun kind. The kind that usually goes in the ‘too scary for Pip’ category.

Things like:

My energy deal is running out.
My broadband contract is running out.
Part of my mortgage fixed rate is running out. My breakdown cover needs renewing.
And many more…

Oh and to top it off, my driving license photocard is running out. I mean, who knew that was a thing?!

So I spent a lot of the day feeling like I’m going round in circles trying to find good deals. All while dealing with the rising fear of making a bad choice or getting it wrong. God adulting is so hard sometimes.

I spent two hours on a video call with a mortgage advisor. Came off with some options, but still a bit confused. Seriously, I’m an intelligent person. But finances scare the pants off me. Ironic I know for someone who’s spent their career working in Financial Services.

I also came to the conclusion that the process is aimed at people starting out on their mortgage journey. Not someone like me who’s crashing towards retirement… No, I really don’t need life insurance. Yes I understand the benefits of buildings and contents insurance. Where do I see myself in 5 years?! Alive preferably!

I tried to find a more superior adult to discuss it all with. Failed at that, so headed to see my second largest outgoing, Buddy.

Anyone got a crystal ball I can borrow?! It’s all so doom and gloom out there. Who knows what ‘crisis’ we will hit next…
