Money Saving
Tips
10. Set yourself
targets, aimed at giving
structure to your finances,
and take steps to setting
them in motion. Dependant
on whether you are a borrower
or saver, and on your
life stage, you may have
different aims and objectives.
Debtors
getting towards retirement,
or towards the end of
paying their mortgage
may aim to close both
secured and unsecured
borrowing at the same
time. This means that
all things you feel you
may have to borrow for
before that time should
be taken into consideration,
and the timescale set,
making a concentrated
effort to avoid further
borrowing.
Savers may
wish to set a timescale
to see their savings and
investments grow, and
seek financial advice
accordingly. Again, for
example, those near retirement,
worried about income in
retirement may wish to
begin making provisions
for this, by seeking advice
on low risk investment
products, aiming either
to put away a monthly
amount, or to set aside
a lump sum until retirement.
It may
be the time to consider
future life events, such
as children’s weddings,
education expenses etc,
and set time, and amount
of money you need to have
for these events. Taking
care of this now, may
save stress and needing
to borrow in later life.
