SIX SIMPLE STEPS TO SAVE YOU A FORTUNE

Follow our essential guide to transform your finances

ALTHOUGH the financial crisis of 2008 may now seem a distant memory, we continue to live in financially challenging times.

Yes, the economy is in pretty good shape but inflation is on the rise, eating into our household finances.

There are also issues aplenty which could potentially derail growth at any stage – a worrying credit boom, economic hiccups triggered by the journey towards Brexit and, of course, disruption to the world economy as a result of President Trump’s ‘America first’ policies.

At some stage interest rates could start moving upwards, increasing the cost of our mortgage repayments.

Savers would welcome such a move although it is debatable how eager banks and building societies would be to increase savings rates.

Yet households should not despair and bury their heads in the proverbial sand.
