Hello and welcome back to Mortgage Advisor on FIRE.
So I’ve been struggling a little to find time to write to the quality I would like recently. Rather than putting out posts I’m not happy with, I’m going to take a step back and slow down a little. I’m thinking that my posts may be every fortnite as opposed to weekly. In fairness, since I started this blog in November 2019 it has, with only a couple of exceptions, seen a minimum of one post per week.
I’ve included my updated weekly finances below and my list of greatest sci-fi shows discussed so far, which I’ll pick back up next week.
Thanks for reading and supporting Mortgage Advisor on FIRE.
The Greatest Science Fiction Shows
I’ve noticed a few posts recently listing sci-fi shows and movies with titles like “best ever” and “greatest of all time”. I thought I’d enter the chat and list my top ten sci-fi shows of all time, starting at number ten and working my way to the best one of all over the next ten weeks.
Note: for a show to qualify, it has to have finished.
So far, I’ve covered:
10 – The Outer Limits
9 – The X-Files
8 – Space: Above and Beyond
7 – Quantum Leap
6 – Battlestar Galactica (2004)
5 – Dark
#AD – Do you want to help me earn a little cash for free? Of course you do!
Now that I’m self-employed I’ve signed up with a few businesses that offer services that assist with getting a mortgage. One such service comes from Check My File which brings together your credit report from multiple sources into a detailed breakdown of your credit history.
Normally there is a £14.99 monthly charge but with my link you can get a FREE 7-day trial. My affiliate link allows you to create an account, get your report, and if you want to cancel within the 7 day trial period you will not be charged. If you want to keep the service beyond the trial period, the £14.99 monthly charge applies.
By signing up to the trial period, you’ll help me out with a small commission even if you cancel inside that trial period.
Important points:
1. This code is for a free 7-day trial for those who have not had an account with Check My File before.
2. You can cancel anytime with no penalty.
3. If you do not cancel within the 7-day trial period, you will be charged £14.99 until you cancel.
4. It will ask for payment details, but if you cancel within the 7-day trial period, you will not be charged (assuming you have not had an account with them before).
5. I will earn a small commission from Check My File for each person who signs up for the free trial, whether they continue to a paid membership or not.
6. I do not get to see your credit report. It is private to you, unless you choose to share it.
7. To make sure the code tracks, please complete your sign-up in one sitting i.e. don’t close the tab and start again later.
8. Make sure you download your report before cancelling.
9. Yes, this is a shameless plug, but my last wage was paid in October.
