For most people, the largest purchase that they are ever likely to make in their lives will be a home purchase. In almost all countries where free-market forces are allowed to predominate, house prices have risen at a faster rate than wages since World War II. However, political and social pressures have come to bear which mean that more people than ever before aspire to own their own homes.

The only way for the average person to be able to buy a home when house price inflation outstrips wage inflation is to enable them to borrow more money against their earnings and/or to increase the repayment period on the loan. Schemes now exist where borrowers only pay the interest component of their loan (i.e. the capital is never repaid and so the “buyer” never owns the property) and of course the whole sub-prime fiasco was about making loans to people ill-placed to afford them.

Demand drives prices and there is a wide-spread belief that “bricks and mortar” is the safest investment that there is – however this is not quite true. Demand is

With all the talk of the nation’s finances creaking (or crashing depending on where you read it) it’s easy to think everyone is mired in debt. This week’s site poll belies that though, with 54% net savers, to 41% net debtors (and 5% in the middle).

Now some may be shocked at this, especially as it’s a MoneySavingExpert.com poll, and many assume our users are primarily in trouble. Actually that’s a common misunderstanding about the site demographics – we tend to closely map the make-up as internet users in general – rather than favour any group. After all some come as they need help, while others enjoy saving money and are good at it, hence having cash. The poll excludes mortgages

Credit cards can be a useful way of borrowing money in the short term, or giving your budget a temporary boost from time to time.

However, if you don’t repay the debt as quickly as you thought you would, you could end up paying a lot more in interest than you expected.

Here we’ll look at keeping on top of credit card debt.

Try to make more than the minimum monthly payments

Credit card companies usually require a minimum monthly payment of between 2-5% of the balance. Though this may seem like a relatively small amount just looking at it on a monthly basis, it can quickly add up if you have multiple credit cards you’re repaying.

Of course, the most important thing is that you make your minimum payments every month – otherwise you could risk extra charges and damage to your credit rating. However

Until now, a roth ira was always known to be meant for those who earn $100,000 or more per year or $169,000 or more as a couple, and these are the people who are considered ‘wealthy’ according to the American government. roth-ira.org is a great ‘wealth creation pool’ introduced by the American government so that the middle class people when they retire do not depend on the government for their financial needs.
