There is never a bad time to find ways to save a few pennies; but with recession looming, a credit crunch that just keeps grinding, the mortgage market collapsing, petrol prices soaring, and inflation threatening to spiral out of control, this is a particularly good time to look at ways of saving or making money.
I intend to offer practical advice, constructive comment, and a few more off-the-wall ideas for either saving on money spent, or earning extra cash.
Be warned, there will be no quick fixes; no earn £10,000 per month working from home schemes; no scams. Hard work and some deep thinking WILL be required.
It won't all be hair shirt and self-flagellation.
Managing money needn't be boring, and if the end result is a better summer holiday for your family, a nicer car, or maybe even an earlier retirement, I hope you will find the effort not only rewarding, but enjoyable.
With that in mind, I'll be highlighting some of the best deals on the web.
An economic slowdown is no fun for the working man or woman, but it's no fun for the manufacturers and retailers out there either.
That means there are bargains to be had, but remember, a bargain is only a bargain if you genuinely need or want the item you are buying, and can afford the reduced price.
If not, it's not a bargain. It's an evil temptation seducing you down a path of instant gratification, but with a hidden destination of an extended working life and impoverished retirement.
My intention is to give you the courage to resist evil temptation, and the insight to set achievable goals that will lead you down an ultimately more enjoyable path.
Please join me for what should be a fun trip.
