Financial advice - birth to death

Know who you are. That is the first rule of making anything a sucess. If you like researching and keeping on top of the game and have reasonable intellegence to know the risks then maybe think about investing in high risk (but usually higher pay offs) of stocks and shares etc. If you can never keep hold of your money and always wonder how your bank balence got so low, do not own a credit card (no don't even think about it).

I wish I had a pound for everyone who told me they couldn't afford to save-who after a brief conversation realised - that they could save- oh how those pounds would have mounted up to a tidy sum.

We all want a fair warning with bank interest rate rises. We all want more control with our finances. I don’t ask for much do I? Most of us don’t know where our money goes -- We are too busy to run-around down blind alleys of Call Centres, ideal for those of you wanting early coronaries.
