Skint Dad Ricky Willis

Ricky Willis founded the award-winning money saving website SkintDad.co.uk which helps people save money by showing that every penny counts.

What started as a way to share his family’s debt issues, and as a way to be held accountable while paying off £42,000 of consumer debt, quickly became a hit money blog.

Since Ricky launched the site it has attracted over 15 million page views.

Ricky has a passion for finding ways to boost income and has gained experience in website development.

He has appeared on BBC TV, This Morning, Good Morning Britain, as well as in newspapers discussing money issues families face today.
