ME and my MONEY

JASMINE Harman, TV presenter on A Place In The Sun, says her biggest money mistake was not buying her own little sanctuary in the sun eight years ago.

Harman, who travels the world helping other people choose the perfect holiday home, wishes she had purchased a property in Portugal before she had children, when the exchange rate was better and prices were cheaper.

Instead, the mother of two has ploughed her money into property in South London, bagging herself a £1.5million investment portfolio in just 14 years.

Her home in Surrey is a fivebedroom house with a swimming pool and is worth close to £1million.

But the 42-year-old presenter says she is not savvy about money – just frugal – and has no idea where her pension is invested.

She lives with husband Jon, 38, her three-year-old daughter Joy and son Albion, one. Last month, she promoted Veganuary, a campaign to encourage people to try going vegan.
