What is Financial Planning?

By Admin | Jun 07, 2011

Are you wondering what financial planning actually is? It is setting up something now so you are set in the future. You cannot depend on anything these days. You don’t know when your job may end, if it ends prematurely or if you are able to work to retirement age. Nothing is set in stone. There was a time when you could plan on having your job for your entire life. Now businesses are closing down all of the time and people are standing in the unemployment line. If you plan for the future by investing now you won’t have to worry about the future and what it holds for you.

It is possible to plan a future after quitting your job. It really doesn’t have to be much of an investment as long as you keep up with it and let it grow. Money that is properly invested can grow rapidly. What starts off as a small investment will be worth much more in twenty years. If y Read more…

Life Cover -The Option to Increase

By Kenneth Moore | May 25, 2011

Many life cover policies include valuable options that allow the amount of cover to be increased if certain events occur. The increases can be made without having to provide further details of health.

Life cover offers financial peace of mind by paying out a lump sum if the person covered dies or is diagnosed with a terminal illness. These funds can be used to help secure the finances of their nearest and dearest or to pay off debts such as a mortgage.

A life cover policy will usually include increase options for anyone who, when they take out the policy, is under a certain age, typically 50, and in a good state of health. The options are included for no extra cost and can usually be exercised if the person covered:

•             Becomes a parent.

•             Gets married.

•             Forms a civil partnership.

•             Legally adopts a child.

•             Increases their mortgage, to move house or pay for home improvements.

The policy owner can apply to increase their amount of cover if one of the above events occurs. Policies may also include an option to extend the cover term to match

Poll Shows Americans Are Hurting at the Pump

By Kenneth Moore | May 23, 2011

A new USA Today/Gallup Poll found that Americans are taking a big hit at the pump due to the major increase in gas prices. The poll found that more than 50 percent of Americans have had to make substantial adjustments to their daily finances to compensate for the costs.

Hike in Gas Costs Hindering Many Areas of Daily Life

The poll found nearly seven in 10 Americans feel the high cost of gas is causing financial hardship. For 21 percent of that group, the impact is so dramatic that they say their standard of living is jeopardized.

The impact of the high costs has forced consumers to make adjustments to their daily routine, including:

  • Nearly 30 percent of those polled say they are driving less and consolidating trips.
  • 15 percent say they have already switched to more fuel-efficient cars.

What’s unfortunate is that despite small improvements in the economy, many consumers don’t believe the prices will go down anytime soon:

  • Fewer than one in 10 polled believe the prices have peaked for the year.
  • More than 25 percent are bracing for prices to jump 75 cents or more.
  • 54 percent believe the higher gas prices are here to stay.

With prices up 37 percent from May 2010–a leap of about $1.06–the cost of food, retail and more are affected. This means c

Families face budget squeeze for ‘some time’, Bank of England chief economist says

By Kenneth Moore | May 21, 2011

The central Bank’s chief economist, braced households of significant financial pressures “for some time”, bringing further pain for families.

In an interview on Saturday, Mr Dale admitted interest rates needed to rise from the current record levels to tackle the growing inflation threat, and the sharp spike in the cost of living, or risk damaging long-term economic prospects.

Last month a former senior BoE colleague, Andrew Sentance, predicted interest rates quadrupling within a year, adding more than £100 a month to a typical household mortgage, in a bid to thwart the rising inflation.

Mr Dale, appointed to his position in July 2008, admitted pressures on household finances would “likely to persist for some time”, or for at least “the next year or so”.

Mr Da
