Hi, I’m Cora Harrison
I started The Mini Millionaire way back in 2014. I’d just graduated from University and decided to leave the corporate world I was destined for and instead start up my own business. Since then I’ve gone on to start more side-hustles than I can count. Some have been successful, some not so much… Some have even been so successful I’ve sold them!
The Mini Millionaire was designed as a place for me to document my experiences (instead of boring my girlfriend Helen with financial speel). Little did I know it would turn into a dedicated resources for those looking to earn money, save money and take back control of their finances.
I hope you enjoy it!

6 Fuel-Saving Tips for Motorists
6 Fuel-Saving Tips for Motorists Being a driver does not just encompass purchasing a car and driving it from A to B, and many people fail to consider the numerous ongoing expenditures involved.

My Bucket List Parents My parent's bought the house I'll forever call 'home' back when I was two years old. Since then it's been the backdrop for plenty of family photos, first moments, and thankfully seen some re-decorating. Of course, that purchase was twenty-four years ago now. My brother and I have grown up, moved out (and moved back in... but that's for another post). An of course in that time we've seen the housing market has gone up, down and then back up again and it's left my parents in a pretty safe and comfortable position. For my parents, [...]

Approved Food Review - Updated For 2019! In the UK, we throw away a staggering 7 million tons of food and drink from our households every single year. That's an average of £470 per household, per year wasted on food. According to UK Love Food, Hate Waste 50% of this food could have been consumed.
