Ricky Willis from Skint Dad

Ricky Willis is the founder of Skint Dad, a UK website helping families make their money go further.

Skint Dad began during a tough period, when Ricky and his family were working their way out of £42,000 of debt. What started as a way to stay accountable quickly grew into a place for honest, real-life money help without judgement.

Today, Ricky shares simple, practical tips based on lived experience, focusing on cutting bills, saving at the supermarket, and finding small ways to boost income at home.

He has appeared on BBC TV, This Morning, and Good Morning Britain, and is regularly asked to comment on the money pressures families face across the UK.

Meet the rest of the Skint Dad team.
