Compare rates on U.K. Home Insurance

Written by Elizabeth on August 11, 2008 – 5:51 pm -

I’ve got some info for my U.K. readers (come on, I know you are there, I watch my stats!) on getting affordable home insurance. I’m not sure what the laws are in the U.K., but here in the States, you need home insurance to protect you against replacement costs in the event of a fire or other disaster, or if someone is injured while on your property. I’m pretty sure all mortgage lenders require it as well. U.K. homeowners can get Home Insurance Quotes from Money.co.uk, with information on insuring homes, rentals, and student housing as well. An easy to read and easy to search site interface gives you quick access to information on home insurance companies, discounts, as well as money saving tips.

This excellent article from CNN Money on Insuring Your House gives you eight things you should know when shopping for home insurance, whether you have never purchased it before or are just curious to see if you could be paying less. The article is part of a series called Money101 Lessons, there are links to over twenty lessons on everything from making a budget to estate planning. It’s helpful to have this information available before you do anything money-related, and I personally have always looked to CNN.com for information, so I have no problem recommending any of their websites to my readers. Check out either link I’ve provided for great information about saving on home insurance and on general topics about money.

Credit Cards Club-Lots of Great Credit Card Info

Written by Elizabeth on June 21, 2008 – 1:38 pm -

One way to manage your finances is to take a look at your credit cards. If you are currently paying an Annual Fee, have a high interest rate, or have several cards with small balances, you can find information on getting better credit card deals by visiting Credit Cards Club. This clean, easy-to-navigate site has links to credit cards by category, such as no annual fee, low interest rate, balance transfer, cash back, and 0% interest. A low interest credit card often gives you 0% interest for a limited amount of time, giving you a chance to pay down some of the principal balance.

This would also be a great time to get a credit card that pays you cash back on gas purchases, as well as on other items you buy. Every dollar helps at the gas pump these days! If you want more information on types of credit cards, understanding your credit score, and repairing bad credit, Credit Cards Club has financial articles with lots of great information. You can apply for dozens of different types of cards right on the site, so if you are looking to get a credit card or replace one you already have, Credit Cards Club should be on your list of sites to visit.
