5 money-saving tips from a TikTok lawyer who reads the fine print


Reading the fine print means you could be saving money that you might not have otherwise known about, according to Erika Kullberg, lawyer and founder of Plug and Law, a legal tech start-up for small businesses and entrepreneurs.

Kullberg has more than 11 million followers across TikTok, Instagram and YouTube.
