Inflation rises and BoE forecasts are ‘flawed’ says Ben Broadbent

By Kenneth Moore | Jul 03, 2011

Currently, the Bank treats commodity price moves as “one-offs” that are too volatile to be built into its forecasts, assuming instead that they will be constant. However, Mr Broadbent argued before the Treasury Select Committee that the Bank should consider changing its approach.

“The MPC treats these rises as one-off occurances, it assumes that whatever the jump in the commodity price is, the price will then stay there from now on – that has been the single most important forecasting error,” he said. “In an environment where the strongest growth is coming from the parts of the world that consume the most commodities, perhaps you ought to think about doing something different.

“There is an important point over the medium term about whether you continue, in the face of a trend increase in prices, always to assume they are flat.”

Mr Broadbent was speaking shortly after inflation data for April was released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), which came in higher than expected at a two-and-a-half-year peak of 4.5pc, against expectations of 4.2pc. <

Money Management Moves That Magically Increase Savings

By Kenneth Moore | Jul 01, 2011

People plunge into impossible debt because they spend more than they intend, reducing the money available for financial emergencies and other expenses.  It is difficult to get out of debt and the issues caused by high debt levels last for many years.  The best way to avoid debt is to learn money management tips that can save money and provide a cushion for financial emergencies.

Track Your Spending

To learn what you are spending your money on each month, you should track all financial transactions and how they were paid for.  This will show you how much money you are spending and areas where spending could be reduced.  Tracking your spending will also prevent you from spending more than intended because you will be able to see the money spent adding up each month.

Avoid Overpriced Items

There are many items that people purchase on a regular basis that are overpriced compared to purchasing the same items from the grocery store or preparing them at home.  Purchasing a six pack of soda at the grocery store will cost you about $3.00, but purchasing those same six drinks individually at convenience stores will cost you about $9.00, three times as much.  Specialty coffees are another item that should be avoided to save money because coffee made at home costs around a tenth as much.

Automatic Savings Deposits

A large number of employers allow paychecks that are direct deposited to be split into different accounts.  This makes it easy to set up a automatic deposit to have a percentage of the paycheck sent directly to your savings account.  Having the money directly deposited into your savings account prevents spending and eliminates forgetfulness as an excuse for not saving.

Round Up Purchases In Transaction Ledger

Every time that you make a financial transaction, round up the amount of the purchase in your ledger to the nearest whole dollar.  This makes it easier to subtract the purchases from your balance and over time the money not included in the accounting will add up to a significant money cushion to hedge against going over the balance of your checking account by accident.

Kids Living Large Off Your Dime? How to End Financial Dependence

By Kenneth Moore | Jul 01, 2011

Every parent–well, most parents–want what’s best for their child, so they don’t mind forking over some cash when their kids are busy with career planning, goal setting and simply growing into adulthood. Yet at what point should a parent cut the financial cord? Some parents feel that 18 is the right age to do so, while others fund their kids into their 30s, hoping their life’s most precious investment finally pays off.

It’s difficult to determine the appropriate cut-off age across the board because every family has a different situation. Depending on what your budgeting and personal finance strategies are, maybe you can afford to support your children well into adulthood. Or, if you’re like most other people, you’re having a hard enough time worrying about your own bills.

There is such a thing as over parenting. At some point,
