Hi, we have been working hard on latest finance and real estate coverage.

The latest news is that UK interest rates have been kept on hold. . . . good news for mortgage holders !

Term Life Assurance Companies

2009-03-24T08:09:00.000-07:00

Insurance and Assurance are two sides of the same coin.

Well, in fact, they are pretty much the same thing.

You can find term life insurance - or assurance - both at term life insurance online and term life assurance companies online .

Losing a life insurance policy

2009-02-05T06:45:00.001-08:00

Term Life Insurance policies can be lost - as can other life insurance policies. Don't fall into the trap of ignoring a relatives' papers, because you might just be looking at a nest egg!

I've written an article on lost policies which you can find on the term life insurance site all about this.

Another sofa goes to sleep

2009-01-25T12:34:00.000-08:00

According to the Indie, insurance or no, Sofa workshop has gone to sleep, nobody knows if they will ever return !

One wonders why savings weren't made before it all became too much to handle.

New Article

2009-01-17T01:12:00.000-08:00

I've got a new article published at term life insurance - check it out. It talks about the differences between term life insurance and whole life insurance. Many people don't realise that there is a difference (or what policy choices you can make).

Land of Leather

2009-01-14T11:53:00.000-08:00

They went into administration, just as I warned earlier this week.

Who is going to be next? Let me know :)

Inflating the money supply

2009-01-11T06:52:00.000-08:00

According to many people, it's time to print money !

But the Bank of England is now going to do it in secret !

More on interest rate cut.

Furniture stores face tough time in hard times

2009-01-09T07:31:00.000-08:00

So says the Guardian :

"Furniture retailers Sofa Workshop and Land of Leather are understood to be fighting for survival.
Sofa Workshop filed a notice of intention to appoint an administrator to the companies court late last year. Quoted rival Land of Leather is also in a precarious position as its future hinges on generating sufficient cash from its January sale, which ends next week. Industry sources claim trading has been difficult."

I've just been shopping for furniture and you start to say, hold on, do I really need to buy these chairs right now? Or those chest of drawers? Why don't I just get them on the internet ... ?!

Interest rates fall again

2009-01-08T06:35:00.000-08:00

Down to 1.5% in the UK, nobody is getting much return for their money any more.

Investments are still hard to place to get a solid return - and real estate property prices are not faring much better.

Having said that, there should be increasingly available low interest rate loan deals for home buyers.
