It’s great to see the campaign to get financial education in schools getting recognition within political circles. Congratulations to Justin Tomlinson MP for being named ‘MP of the month for May’ by Total Politics magazine, one of the main in-house political journals read by politicians.
This is a crucial step, both as an indication that there is real momentum gathering behind the financial education campaign, but also and probably more importantly it shows that this is now becoming an open subject of discussion among the Westminster village.
For years, banks, consumer groups, teachers, youth clubs and others have been providing great content and resources to help the cause. This Read more…

But one fact that won’t have changed by July 2013 is that your credit card debt will still be sat at 0% interest. If

For some reason I do not fully understand, there are two worlds of gaming the Wal-Mart/Target/Toys R Us world of Monopoly and Risk, and the geeky world of strategic gaming.
It used to be that the strategic gaming world was just too complicated and arcane for prime time. I once spent a whole summer playing through a game called War in Europe from SPI. It had a 42-square foot map of Europe, thousands and thousands of counters, hundreds of pages of instructions, and simulated WWII in weekly turns.
However, there is now a whole slew of games in the strategic arena, mostly from Europe, that are very accessible. A number are not much harder to learn than Risk but are more fun and play a lot faster. Un Read more…

The government-backed safety-net for cash deposits has three large holes in it…
The financial crash of 2007/09 showed just how risky investing can be.
After the UK stock market peaked in mid-June 2007, it almost halved. In fact, London’s leading stock-market index, the FTSE 100, nose-dived by 48% within 21 months. (Read to find out more.)
Also, property values suffered during the credit crunch and economic downturn. At its peak in August 2007, the average UK home cost £199,612, according to the Halifax House Price Index.

Every business out there knows that protecting itself in case of an accident is important but do you have any idea how important that is? What a lot of businesses don’t realize is that they can be on the wrong side of a claim if a person feels that they didn’t get what they paid for or received bad advice. Professional liability insurance is very big for consultants and advice bearing individuals such as financial experts and attorneys and that is why more and more of them are carrying liability insurance just in case their advice is not sound or they didn’t have any merit to give it.
One of the things you need to understand is that as a business you will probably have employees and because of that you need insurance on them as well. Most Read more…
