You may have noticed that the various consumer organisations have been suggesting that we all overhaul our finances regularly to make sure that we don’t spend too much on the products we need but where the cost can differ hugely. To see for myself just what could be saved I decided to start off by doing a permanent health insurance comparison and to my surprise the savings that everyone were talking about we right there on the screen in front of me.
With renewed impetus I did the same for other financial service products I pay more regularly and within a matter of a few hours I had radically reduced my monthly outgoings. It’s a curious feeling having made such a seismic change to ones finances. Do I regard the savings as new money or old money I’ve wasted in the past? One thing’s certain; if you don’t do this straight away you’re only costing yourself money. I would hazard a guess that I have saved enough to pay for a holiday with the combined saving I have been able to make.
