Having always been an advocate of the fixed rate mortgage since buying my first home some twenty two years ago, I have only recently reached the end of a five year fixed-rate mortgage which, in retrospect wasn’t the best deal I have ever signed up for. Although the interest rate was not stupidly expensive it certainly meant that I wasn’t as well off as I could’ve been for a number of years, although I have to remind myself that the reason I elected to fix the costs was just in case the costs of borrowing sky rocketed leaving me with an unaffordable mortgage and the potential for repossession. What I have done, however, is to change the things I can change and decided that the mortgage was a thing that I couldn’t change so I wouldn’t cry over spilt milk. The comparison websites that dominate every advert break truly hand control of people’s money back to the people and I love the democratic way that the masses can vote with their feet and walk away from companies that they deem to be too expensive and move to companies that appear to be more welcoming, at least initially that is. I am aware that these companies do seem to lay on the charm to entice people into their lair after which they will try to increase the costs for the unsuspecting, but I intend to move my business to a new home when I begin to feel that they are trying to take me to the financial cleaners. I regularly sit down and review all my finances by logging on and getting a quote for life insurance on a website called life assurance cover and check to see if my electricity and gas suppliers haven’t altered their tariffs to a rate that benefits them rather than me.
I found a site called Life Assurance Cover and saved loads!
