Keeping up with the Jonesy

Who am I?

Hello reader! I'm Richard - a husband, dad, fire safety consultant and as of 2022 content creator from the UK. This site will be my platform to show that nearing 40 it is not too late to learn to blog/vlog and invest for the future both financially & personally to live a happier, healthier and wealthier life.

What is my 9-5?

I initially studied for a BA Hons in Marketing & Business Management but ended up working for a local authority in 2007 as a trainee building control surveyor. That same year, I returned to Uni to study for a Diploma in Building Surveying part-time and became chartered with the CIOB in 2011. In 2013 I made the move into the private sector with an Approved Inspector to allow me to work on larger commercial projects. In 2022 I decided that I needed to make some changes to my life to improve my physical and mental health and part of this involved a switch in November to fire safety.

Why have I started a blog?

I plan to write about various topics around personal development including life lessons, mental well-being and investing both financially and in self as I take you along with me on my journey. Whilst it can be good to learn from 'pros' you can see how to start your blog/vlog from scratch because if I can do it then you can do it too. Even if like me you are nearing 40 and have a family it's not too late to be Keeping up with the Jonesy!
