Logging onto the computer to check my emails, a task I tend to do with absurd regularity, I noticed that I had an email from my bank suggesting that I take out some life insurance. It was actually something that I needed to do, so using it as a prompt I decided that I would actually do the job properly as the banks aren’t known for offering the best deals around. Logging onto the quote comparison sites was virtually as easy as logging on to my emails and within 15 minutes I’d got the quote I wanted. The reassurance that one gets from seeing the quote you have elected to go with compared to the other quotes from other companies makes the whole exercise well worth it and should almost be a requirement for people taking out financial products as so many people are probably paying way too much money and wasting their hard earned wages lining the pockets of the banks. The banks that were already given lots of our hard eared money a few years ago when some nearly crashed as a result of their absurd lending practices. Whilst I was logged on to the insurance comparison websites I was also able to get quotes for a number of other financial products I was able to get quotes from a life insurance comparison and the best rates for holiday insurance and also critical illness cover.

I used to take everything for granted, my family, my job, my house, my new car, even my health. After a close friend suffered a life threatening heart attack I was forced to re-evaluate what was important to me in life. I was keen to ensure I had the right cover in place so that those close to me would be financially secure should the worst happen. I was surprised at how difficult it was to get straightforward clear information on the best products for my circumstances. After wasting a lot of time on the internet and not getting the results I wanted, I was fortunate enough to find the life insurance compare website. Not only was I able to increase my cover and the amounts of money my family would receive, I even managed to reduce my premiums. Now I try and make the most of my time with friends and family, secure in the knowledge everything is covered. Sometimes you do not appreciate the things you have and the people close to you until there is the threat of them being taken away. My friend made a full recovery and was even able to get cover after I recommended quote life insurance to him.

I have worked in the same company as my partner for a number of years. In fact we have both worked there for longer. However we only started dating after a number of years and yes, I should have made a move earlier but I didn’t. Nor did she, so we are equally to blame for not starting the rest of our lives earlier. Still, as they say, you can’t change the past so I’m not going to beat myself up too much; suffice to say, I wish I had. Society would describe me as a professional, like my partner and we live a pretty comfortable life with a number of holidays and have savings to fall back upon should the need arise. Financially I have always tried to keep a tight ship and regularly review my spending, keeping abreast of any new savings policies that have been released, trying to utilise my tax free allowance that the chancellor allows in the budget. I have spoken to both my parents and my partner’s parents about possible inheritance tax liabilities and the best ways of mitigating any potential liabilities there are, given the increased likelihood of their deaths before ours. However, where I feel I do make most of an impact on things is to keep an eye on where we have arrangements for our regular outgoings. Clearly our major outgoing is our joint mortgage and fortunately we have a tracker mortgage which has allowed us to enjoy relatively low monthly payments for some years now. I also keep an eye on the comparison websites such as Mortgage Protection Insurance to check on the cost of gas and electricity providers and telephone and broadband providers.

I had always expected to become a teacher as both my mother and father had been teachers. It didn’t help by the fact that I had never really contemplated doing anything else and upon leaving school with the appropriate A levels for a teacher degree, I duly started at Teacher Training College. Three years later I was applying for teaching jobs in my home town, as I had never really contemplated working elsewhere. I married my child hood sweetheart and started a family with two lovely children and everything was wonderful. Wonderful apart from the fact that I really didn’t enjoy my work, I loved the teaching side of things, but all the form filling and unnecessary rubbish we had to do to support the vagaries of whatever the government of the day had decided that we should do to teach our children in a slightly better way than we had done the year before. This carried on for years and I grew to despise the job and tried to lose myself at weekends in whatever DIY project I had at the time. I loved the way that no one was there to tell me that I had to do it another way or that I had to fill in a form for someone so that they could produce a piece of analysis that would inevitably be used to tell me that I wasn’t as good as someone else, somewhere, and because of this I would to produce another action plan saying how I would improve, and so on and so on.
Anyway, one morning I decided that I would chuck it all in and become a full time do it yourself man and six years later I haven’t looked back. I have am independent in mind and body, I love my work and I’m probably a better person for it. I have had to become financially literate and now know my income protection policy from my mortgage protection insurance and my VAT rates from my National Insurance, thanks to compare life insurance.

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 Compare Life Insurance and check to see if my electricity and gas suppliers haven’t altered their tariffs to a rate that benefits them rather than me.

Have you ever noticed that when you tell anyone at work that you are about to buy a house or a flat or get married or some thing else that’s going to radically alter your circumstances for years to come, that there’s always someone in your office or wherever you happen to work who’s got some advice which if you’d known it a few weeks earlier it would’ve saved you a load of money? The main reason for this of course is that those who’ve done something in the past simply know more about doing that than those who’ve never done it before. Those who already own a house have already been up the steep learning curve and become part of the inner sanctum of knowledge that they are always keen to impart to help give others a head start. Apart from the plethora of things you get to know about which refer to the house purchase, there are a number of other things you need to arrange. For a start you should log onto the comparison sites and get a quote for permanent health insurance, which was easy using the Mortgage Protection Insurance website, get a second quote for buildings and contents cover and compare the mortgage quote you have with others to check it’s competitive.

Working for a building society I had always had it drummed into me about mortgages and how important they were, how important it was to get the right interest rate and how you should fix your rate for two, three or five years. Understandably people thought of little else apart from the loan itself as it could make a difference to what they paid on a monthly basis and their quality of life would depend on how much money was left at the end of each month.
Life insurance was the other product that people would take out at this stage, most people would arrange this through their financial adviser and it’s designed to pay out a sum of money that was usually the amount of money left on the mortgage at the time of death. However, not many people would ever take out permanent health insurance which to me seemed equally as useful and probably more so to single people. Over the years there has been a much greater emphasis put on the financial advisers to recommend this product as medical advances have meant that you are a lot less likely to die but could well live with an illness or incapacity that could stop you from working.

When I met my husband he was in the army and based in a London barracks. He was due to leave the army in 4 years time and had no idea what he would do when he left the services. I had always worked as a secretary back home in Yorkshire and managed to find a job working in the care sector fairly close to the housing the army provided. Over the few years before he left the army he decided that he would like to pursue a career in computing. He enrolled on a computer course at the local college that took most of the year but gave him a qualification that meant that he had something that employers would appreciate when he left the services and tried to get a job in main Street. Fortunately within only six weeks of leaving the army he was offered a job as a field engineer working with office printers and he’s been there ever since. It’s not brilliantly paid but it’s a good reliable income and he enjoys the work as it’s varied and with overtime and bonuses we do pretty well. We need to buy a house as we had a couple of children and I arranged the mortgage through an IFA who I had always used and trusted his advice about putting in place mortgage protection insurance and critical illness cover in addition to the life insurance cover most people just have.
