Process you must follow to buy a home in Spain

0

According to data from the Spanish Ministry of Development, in 2012 the number of foreigners who bought a home in Spain was 12.2%. In 2017 it was 17.2% and in 2018 it was 15.7%. And in 2019 it reached 16.5%. This confirms that in the last 7 years more and more foreigners have acquired homes in Spanish territory.

Many reasons have led to this situation: the sterling/euro exchange rate that favored British buyers before the Brexit and investment opportunities for German, Belgian, Russian, Chinese, and other buyers from other countries. If you are considering investing in a property and you are interested in the real estate purchasing process in Spain, read on.

Steps to buying a property as a foreigner

To buy a property safely while being a foreigner, you only have to add the obtaining of the NIE to the steps that we explain below, as established in article 206 of BOE 103 (April 30, 2011), about rights and freedoms of Foreigners in Spain and their social integration. This number is known as the Foreigner Identification Number (NIE).

You can request the NIE in person at the General Directorate of Police in Spain (as long as you are not irregularly in Spanish territory) or at the Spanish consular offices in your country of origin. In addition, you must inform about the reason for requesting the NIE, in the case of real estate purchase, it will be enough to include in the request ‘Home purchase’. 

Looking for the property

Possibly it is the step in which you need to invest more resources, especially time and energy. Searching for a property involves approaching the market where you want to invest, knowing its streets, its neighbors, and comparing prices. To reduce risks, it is advisable to have the help of a real estate consultant who knows the area where you want to buy well. 

Verify

 Once you have found the property you want to buy, and before making any money outlay, you will have to:

  • Evaluate the physical characteristics of the property: verify the meters built, degree of conservation, luminosity, height, views, etc. Again, it is helpful to have an expert, whether a real estate consultant, architect, or surveyor, independent of the seller.
  • Evaluate the legal situation of the house through the corresponding Land Registry: It is advisable to have the support of a real estate advisor or independent lawyer of the seller. 

Formalise the purchase-sale contract

The operation of buying a property is formalized with a public deed by signing it before a notary. This contract must be clear, simple and include the following information: proof of ownership and charges, description of the house, total price, the form of payment, and date of delivery of the house. Before the public deed, there can be two steps, without mandatory reservation:

  • Reserve: the real estate advisor intermediates in the buying and selling process, by delivering an amount of money that can reach 1% of the price of the house. The buyer’s price offer is included in this reservation, that is the previous step to the formal start of the negotiation process. Within a period of time (normally 24-48 hours) the seller will either accept the offer or issue a counter-offer.
  • Arras Contract: this contract is signed by the buyer and the seller and constitutes an obligation on the part of one to buy the house and on the other to sell it. As a reference value, the amount delivered in the deposit is usually less than 10% of the final sale price.  

Payment of taxes on home purchases 

Once you have purchased the property in Spain, you will have the privilege of paying the corresponding taxes. There will be two:

  • Patrimonial Transmissions or VAT: It will depend on whether you buy a new home or a second-hand one. In the first case, you will have to pay VAT (maximum 10%), while in the second case you will pay the Property Transfer Tax that depends on each Autonomous Community.
  • Documented Legal Acts (AJD): The AJD is also transferred to the Autonomous Communities and constitutes the expenses of the legal documents necessary to close the transmission of the house. It is established as a percentage of the deed value that changes according to the community. For example, if you buy a home in Madrid with a mortgage, this tax will be between 0.4% and 1% of the total amount of the mortgage liability.

Prior to the steps described, in case of buying the home as a foreign citizen, you must make the application for the Foreigner Identification Number (NIE). 

How to create a reliable commercial fleet

0

For any commercial vehicle
operation, reliability is essential. You need to have confidence that your
fleet is capable of carrying out deliveries and travelling across the country –
sometimes even the continent. If you are looking at making your fleet more
reliable and feel happy and confident about sending it on the road, we have
some tips on how you can achieve this.

Fleet management
systems

Technology has developed
massively over the years and now there are some very clever and advanced
systems available which give you vital information about your fleet. These
systems can not only make the job of a fleet manager more streamlined but can
improve the safety and productivity of your fleet too.

What you can look forward to by
investing in a fleet management system:

  • Optimised routes

With full route optimisation, if
a new job appears, you can see which driver is closest and reroute them to the
new destination. With this kind of flexibility, you can improve customer
satisfaction immensely thanks to the quick response the system allows for, as
well as being more cost-effective by using a vehicle and driver already out on
the road.

  • Real-time tracking

You can rest assured that your
vehicles and drivers are safe thanks to the live, real-time tracking available
on fleet management systems. This will not only allow you to see when a driver
has reached/left their destination, but you will also be able to divert them if
they encounter traffic – increasing productivity.

  • Save money

Investing in a fleet system can
help save the business money in a range of areas. In fact, according to fleet
management system
provider ABAX, you can
save up to 18.5% of your typical costs with one in place. Having the ability to
plan drivers’ routes and provide a reroute solution, the business can save on
fuel costs thanks to smarter planning. Not only that, but the system also
allows managers to monitor a driver’s behaviour, meaning you can see where
harsh braking or accelerating and speeding is occurring. By monitoring
behaviours, you can see which drivers may need additional training, which in
the long run, will reduce vehicle damage and fuel waste – saving even more
money for the business.

Invest in training

For a reliable fleet, you will
also require some assistance from drivers to help run a dependable operation.
At the beginning of every shift, the driver of the vehicle should perform a walk-round check.
These are essential and will determine if a vehicle is safe, legal and ready to
get on the road. The government notes 24 points that need to be checked on a vehicle before it can be driven. These include the
likes of mirrors, seatbelts, fuel leaks and tyres as well as many more. A
walk-round check not only ensures your vehicles meet the legal requirements,
but can also help to prevent injury and death – tyres can, and will, come off if they are not regularly checked and secured. Invest in
appropriate training for staff to ensure they know what they need to do to
safeguard your operation and stay reliable, dependable and compliant.

With a combination of technology and human
assistance, you can feel confident that your fleet can be operated to a high
standard.

How to Pay Off Debt Quickly

0

In most households, it is likely your family carries some form of debt. These debts might be in credit cards, student loans, financed purchases, or a mortgage. While some debt is manageable and good, other debt can have your family deep in the hole struggling to get out. Not having a plan can deter you from getting out of debt and really hamper your opportunity to build household wealth. You should consider the following steps to pay off debt quickly and be careful in what you choose to take a loan out for. 

Save a Couple Thousand Dollars in an Emergency Fund 

You are probably asking how does saving money get me out of debt? The reality is that the first step is critical towards getting out of it. For most people, they try to get out of debt quickly, when a problem arises in their household. This could be a broken appliance, a leaky roof, or some other circumstance that kills any momentum for getting out of debt. The reality is that having a few grand set aside at all times while you pay down debt is important because it shows you are capable of reducing household expenses and gives you wiggle room to gain momentum in paying down your debts. 

How to Get a Hard Money Loan 

Once you are debt-free, the question is when you should take out a loan. Generally, the only loans that you should take out are for real estate. In this case, a hard money loan is usually the best way to go. These loans are usually the best because they are backed by collateral, which enables a lending institution to be more willing to lend as they can take your property if you default on the loan. 

Start with Smallest Debts and Work Your Way to Bigger Ones 

Conventional wisdom would say to pay down the debt with the higher interest rates first, and then pay down small to no interest loans last. While this may be the better idea mathematically speaking, for someone who needs the psychological momentum to pay down massive debt, it is always better to tackle debts smaller to largest. This is something known as the snowball effect. Paying down debt is always a matter of will power versus dollars. 

As you start to pay off each of your existing loans, you will feel a sense of accomplishment and will give you the belief that getting out of debt is a doable process. More importantly, once one loan is paid off, it then frees up cash flow to tackle the next loan more aggressively. Obviously, since most loans have minimum payments, you will have to keep making those, but if you can use that extra cash flow to pay down a loan as fast as possible, you will feel real progress moving forward. 

Do Your Homework 

It is important to always read the fine print of loans as they come with a lot of terms and conditions. Ideally, you may want to minimize interest paid on a loan if you have a lot of cash flow on hand, so make sure there is no prepayment penalty. Also, make sure you understand the interest rate and whether it is fixed or variable. You will want to make sure the loan is from a reputable lender who has a good history of offering quality loans at reasonable interest rates. You will want to make sure you shop around to find a good interest rate as these loans tend to carry higher interest rates. 

You will also need to make sure that the property you are asking a lender to invest in has investment potential. A lender could call your notes if the property value goes under or has not realized a return. Showing a lender that you have experience in real estate is important to give them confidence that you know how to invest wisely in properties. You will also want to make sure you have the capital set aside to pay the loan off in a short period of time. Most hard loans have a maturity date of twelve months, so any insolvency on your part could force the lender to take over your property. 

Only consider a hard loan if you need a bridge to own real estate. Just make sure your investment goals are financially sound and well cared for. 

Making the change from amateur to professional forex trading

0

Practice makes perfect. That is certainly the
case in the exciting world of forex trading.

Most newbies to forex will have to go through a
period of education and learning to gain the fundamentals of how to trade, what
to trade and – arguably most important of all – when to trade.

That will take you from being a trading
newcomer to the position of a novice or amateur. So how do you move on from
there to become a pro trader – one who makes a consistent secondary income from
their trading, with designs on it becoming their primary way of making money in
the future?

Here is one thing that DOES NOT separate a professional
from an amateur: technology.

Some people think that when you have a pro
set-up, with multiple screens, the leading software and an array of technical
indicators, that you suddenly become a professional.

But here’s the thing – you can have a pro
set-up with an amateur mindset, and ultimately that will not take you to where
you want to go with your trading.

Instead, focus on the five pointers listed
below. Master them, and your journey from pup to pro will be a whole lot
quicker and smoother!

#1 – Be professional

Sounds simple, right? If you want to be a
professional, you have to think like a pro and act like one.

One area where amateur traders tend to fall
short is with their mindset. Are you trading as you see it as some kind of ‘get
rich quick’ option? Trust us when we say if money is your only motivation, you
are 99% likely to fail as a trader. You will chase losses, shovel more and more
money into your account and, ultimately, lose the drive required to be
successful in the long-term.

Professional trading is difficult and requires
plenty of effort, research and – in the vast majority of cases – some kind of
learning process. Even pros make mistakes when the market moves against them!

At the very least, pro traders invest in
quality software – asking questions like is OCTAFX a good bet? – and don’t try to cut
corners. They take the time to research their chosen Forex targets every day,
and they rid themselves of distractions – phones, iPads, and social media.
YouTube and the like need to be put on the backburner.

Think like a pro to become a professional.

#2 – Plan your every move

Amateurs dive into the markets with both feet
when they think they have spotted an opportunity, with no real plan on what to
do if prices move against them.

The professional, meanwhile, caters for every
eventuality before they open a position. They know when to green up and exit a
winning position, and they will have contingencies in place when an unforeseen
change undoes their technical analysis.

Patience and planning help to minimise the risk
of amateurish decision-making.

#3 – Get the pro mindset

Charging into a trade after experiencing the
highs of a ‘winning’ run, or in chasing losses after a previous trade goes
wrong, are classic novice tropes.

Professional traders
act without emotion

– executing a trade only when the numbers and visuals stack up correctly.

Novices only have a small sample of trades to
reflect upon, and that can lead to feelings of invincibility when your ‘career’
starts well – you’ve found an edge, right?

Well, come back after a thousand trades and
let’s see.

As far as you are concerned, streaks don’t
exist – and all of your trading decisions are taken with a pro mindset when the
indicators are there.

#4 – Understand risk and reward

Most newcomers to trading will be risk-averse in the
early stages
,
and that is understandable as you are learning your craft and looking to
protect your investment capital.

Professional traders, however, don’t consider
the numbers of a trade – they will open and close a position as their analysis
dictates, not thinking about how much cash they might ‘win’ or ‘lose.’

You can see the difference between a pro and an
amateur in the use of stop losses and other automated tools. Professionals realise
they are essential – amateurs let their emotions take over and refuse to use
their software correctly.

#5 – Reflect and analyse

A trade is a trade – some you will close in
profit, others you will have to take a loss on the chin.

The critical point is that one trade should not
affect the next – all of your positions should be taken independent of one
another. You have to fight the desire to be more risk-averse after a loss, or
gung ho after a profit-maker.

That is perhaps the key differentiator that
sets professional traders apart: they make a trade, analyse it and note what
they could have done differently, and then move on to the next.

If you consider yourself an amateur but want to
improve your trading, we heartily recommend keeping a notebook of your trades –
what did you do well and what could have been improved?

By following this, and our other steps, you can
make the leap to professional trading in the future.

Is General Electric Hopeless? Investor James Richman Still Confident It’ll Reach $10

0

There is a saying that goes, “when you’re down, there’s nowhere else to go but up”. Generally, traders don’t believe this. It does not follow that a stock will rise when it’s sitting well-below its average.

Jesse Livermore, one of history’s greatest investors cautions to “never buy a stock because it has had a big decline from its previous high”. 

It remains interesting what approach will be the correct route especially in terms of General Electric’s future.

James Richman, the Latvian-born private investment fund manager, makes it even more interesting by making a bold forecast that GE will break the $10-level barrier. He even went as far as taking the contrarian approach  against the Sage of Omaha, Warren Buffett, after the stock has temporarily touched the $5-level.

As the stock experiences recovery from its historical low, it is now poised to double its value.

A very resilient conglomerate

Through April 9, year-to-date, GE’s stock has fallen 36%. This means it has relinquished all its previous gains since CEO Larry Culp held the reign of the company in October of 2018.

The last month saw GE’s shares fall lower than its December 2018 floor at 6.66. Its price even loitered near the March 2009 low of 5.73 and slided up to 5.48.

However, this is not the first time GE has stumbled in the market. In 2008, General Electric was affected badly by the recession. During the period, its stock price went down by as much as 78%. While the broader S&P fell by 51% at that time, GE’s shares stumbled steeply from $27 to $5-level.

The company then made a continuous rally in 10 months. It had an 82% increase from March 2009 to January 2010.

This is almost double the S&P increase over the same period. It was also during this time that James Richman earned a whopping 200% profit from his initial investments. His firm was one of the few that was able to thrive during the financial crisis of 2008.

Popular and soon-to-rise

General Electric is still one of the most closely monitored and traded stocks on Wall Street. The average shares that go in and out, amount to 52 million on a given day. It is noteworthy that GE stocks earn a commendable 82 over 99 EPS rating.

The rating reflects the company’s standing on fundamental earnings. This goes with an SMR Rating of C which interprets its sales growth, return on equity, and profit margins.

These factors contribute towards the positive outlook that other investors are taking concerning the General Electric Company.

James Richman, whose investments have been successful due to his natural talent with pattern recognition, is someone who is quick to put his profits towards his philanthropic efforts as he is one of the investors who have pledged to increase their investments towards efforts fighting against coronavirus. He is also reportedly doubling down on his investments in the UK, particularly in London, the South East, Wales and Scotland.

Sources close to the Monaco-based investor reveal that despite the odds, Richman has already placed bets that GE stock will be back to the $10 level, and likely to put the profits to good use by increasing his socially impactful investments, especially during these tough times with the global impacts of coronavirus.

Rewire Security introduces a new range of tracking devices – Insurance Trackers

As one of the leading GPS tracking solutions providers in the UK, Rewire Security continues to expand their wide-range of tracking devices with a new addition – Thatcham-approved Insurance Trackers.

There are 7 different categories assigned to protective devices for all types of vehicles that correspond to various levels of protection. Rewire Security introduces Category S7, S5 and S5+ Insurance Trackers that offer the highest level of security on the market for your vehicles with features determined and approved by the Thatcham Research Centre.

Thatcham-approved Insurance Trackers are widely known in the
UK for their high-quality and top-end security measures against theft. Insurance Trackers give the vehicle
owners much needed peace of mind with their advanced and powerful features. As
the name suggests, one of the biggest advantages of Rewire Security Insurance
Tracking Systems is the insurance benefits; you will be able to lower your
insurance premiums by up to 20%. Vehicle owners can make use of all GPS-based
applications while having Thatcham security protocols guarding their vehicles
against theft. Now, let’s take a look at some of the features Rewire Security
Insurance Trackers offer for your convenience and answer some questions
regarding these top-end vehicle tracking systems.

What makes Insurance
Trackers so effective?

Ordinary GPS-based vehicle tracking devices may be sufficient for your everyday needs but if you happen to live in a high-theft area and own a vehicle with keyless technology, you might want to upgrade your vehicle tracking system to a Rewire Security Insurance Tracker. Although, these advanced tracking systems are suitable for all types of vehicles and they are considered the most effective security system for vehicles in the UK. Not only will your vehicles be monitored 24/7 by our teams, but these advanced tracking solutions are also armed with sensitive sensors, a built-in driver identification system and various immobilisation options that can be used to protect your car as well as recover stolen vehicles.

What are the
advantages of Insurance Trackers over ordinary tracking devices?

Thatcham-approved vehicle tracking systems boast a number of
significant upgrades compared to run-of-the-mill GPS tracking devices. While
all GPS tracking devices are effective in keeping track of vehicles and stay
updated about their condition; more advanced features such as 24-hour
monitoring, ID tags, immobilisation and immediate police response make Rewire
Security Insurance Trackers by far the best vehicle security system when it
comes to theft protection.

24/7 Monitoring: All
vehicles that are fitted with a Rewire Security Insurance Tracker is monitored
around the clock by the experienced on-call teams at our alarm centre. Each event
alert and notification is carefully tracked by our staff and in the event of an
emergency, they will collaborate with the local police forces to ensure the
security of your vehicles.

Driver Recognition Tags: With the increasing vehicle theft crime that hit the UK in the last years, driver recognition tags can be an effective solution in deflecting any theft attempts made against your vehicles. If a vehicle with a Rewire Security Insurance Tracker onboard is moved without the proper driver identification tags, the tracking device will send out an alert to the vehicle owners and the on-call teams at the alarm centre.

Keyless Theft Protection: As one of the main reasons for the drastic increase in vehicle theft numbers in the UK, keyless theft is a nightmare for all new vehicle owners with keyless entry systems. However, Rewire Security S5+ Insurance Trackers are equipped with anti-key cloning technology that will protect your vehicle against tech-savvy thieves that are likely to target your vehicle.

Immobilisation: The vehicles that are fitted with Rewire Security S5+ Insurance Trackers can’t be started without the driver recognition tags assigned specifically to the car owner. Auto immobilisation is one of the most effective anti-theft measures on the market for vehicles and should a thief attempt to start your engine without the ID tags, the system will send multiple alerts to our alarm centre about the intrusion.

With over 95% recovery rate for stolen vehicles, there is no other security system in the UK that can provide better security for your cars, vans, lorries and other commercial vehicles. Thatcham-approved vehicle tracking systems can ensure the safety of valuable mobile equipment as well such as construction machinery or utility vehicles. These versatile gadgets can be utilised in all business industries as well as in individual vehicles to prevent theft and tampering acting as an impenetrable protection system against the prolific criminals roaming the streets of the UK. If you or your business requires a vehicle security system with advanced GPS tracking capabilities and anti-theft measures, Rewire Security Insurance Trackers are your best option in the UK market with their prices and powerful safeguards against theft.

Send Money to Ghana Through the Worth Channel

0

Almost
1.5 million Ghanaians that reside abroad feel it is very difficult to send
money to Ghana
to drench the thirst for
necessities of their family. The transfer methods are difficult and
time-consuming while the share cut down as a transfer fee is another critical
issue. For them watching a considerable portion of their hard-earned money
going into the pockets of money transfer platforms is a painful experience.

So,
we came up with a solution to these problems, and it is named online money
transfer!

Remittances Inflows to
GDP:

Ghana
is the 1st state of Africa that achieved Millennium Development Goal 1, and
according to a report, remittance flows are an essential reason for this
positive change. The ex-pats added 5.9942% value to the gross domestic product
through their remittance inflows. This value is expected to increase in the
coming years. Still, the issue is Ghanaians are mostly unaware of some
exceptionally well money transfer agencies that can do a lot of profitable
savings. 

Break The Stereotypes
and Explore More:

Mostly
when they intend to send money to Ghana, they go to the banks and sit all day
long, wasting the time they could either have utilized somewhere or got rest in
it. They even have to go through lengthy procedures and unnecessary fillings of
forms and attachments of documents. That all adds misery to their already
complicated life. Here the actual problem is their misconceptions about online
money transfer services, which they think will be challenging to use, time
taking and profoundly changing.

Our
suggestion for them is to break the stereotypes and explore more as an online
money transfer system is a whole new world!

Online Money Transfer
Service; Relief from Modern Problems

Online
money transfer service was introduced to the people as a remedy for their
problems which became standard after the concept of remittance flourished.
Earlier it was used to address the issues like long transfer time, high
transfer fee, and extended tours to banks but over time, it’s circle enlarged
to add other problems too. Currently, the online system of money transfer
mainly includes:

  • Faster remittance
  • Lower transfer fee
  • Liberty to choose transfer method and locations of withdrawal
  • Multiple currency exchange

The
services of an online transfer system are still growing, and that’s why we can
say that this system is slowly taking over traditional methods, and so is here
to stay.

Best Among the Rest:

Which
online transfer service can be the best option for overseas Ghanaians to
transfer money to Ghana? The answer to this question lies in the following
queries:

  • Do they want to enjoy the transfer procedure from the comfort of their home?
  • Do they feel getting an exchange for money is fatigue for them?
  • Are they willing to cherish the most reasonable transfer rates?

If
all these questions, bring the answer “YES” then they should try ACE Money
Transfer service. 

ACE
has been there for the ex-pats for the last 18 years to make their experience
worth remembering. The impressive features multiply the comfort and thus
happiness of its customers. It provides challenging and unbeatable transfer
rates. So who can be more worthy than ACE?

How to Use ACE:

For
using ACE for your next transaction, you will need a smartphone or desktop and
an internet connection. 

You
will first have to register yourself by installing the mobile application of
ACE, or you can proceed further through the official website. An extensive
number of installations of this app is recorded this year. After registration,
you will

  • Add your details
  • Your recipient’s details
  • Select the transfer method
  • Enter the amount
  • And pay easily

In
a matter of 10 minutes, your money will be transferred to your
family waiting in Ghana. For your satisfaction, a notification will send to
both of you.

Wrap Up:

The
increase in remittance can win the fight against poverty and the scarcity of
necessities of life. Today’s world is applying this method, and Ghanaians need
to use it as GDP can be significantly supported by people who send money to
Ghana their homeland. The money which is required for the household
requirements can turn the tables and add significant value to the country’s
development when seen in the big picture.

Top Tips Brits Can Use to Save Money

0

Research published by the Money Advice Service shows that 40% of British adults have less than £100 in savings. This leaves them exposed to all sorts of financial risks and will make it more expensive to deal with unexpected financial costs.

The figures are even worse when you separate it out by region. While the South East, which is the wealthiest part of the country, has 30% of its adult population with less than £100 in savings, it is worse in Northern Ireland and the West Midlands where the proportion skyrockets to 56.8% and 55.2% respectively. 

Wales and Scotland weren’t far behind, with 50.1% and 48.4% of its adults having less than £100 to their name. 

The research highlights a huge problem, with large proportions of the population not getting into a “saving habit”. Not having a cash reserve means these people will have to borrow money to pay for unexpected bills like a house repair or a garage bill. Borrowing money usually means paying interest, which increases the cost of the expense over the long term. 

Not a Lack of Cash

The Money Advice Service’s research showed that around one quarter of those on low incomes (less than £13,500 per year) still have more than £1,000 saved up. Meanwhile, almost half of the households with no savings earn more than £30,000 per year. 

From this, it has concluded that for a large proportion of the population the barrier to saving is that people adopt a “live for today” attitude instead of one that sets and works towards financial goals.

If you are one of these people and would like to begin building yourself a nest egg, then consider some of these options.

Set a Budget

Setting a budget is the first step towards saving money. You need to list out all of your fixed expenses; things like your rent/mortgage, utility bills, mobile phone, council tax, and commuting costs. These are bills you need to pay no matter what.

Then count up expenses that you can vary. These can include, food, meals out, entertainment, satellite TV, new clothes, and other discretionary spending.

You may also want to set aside a small amount each month for expenses you know you have to pay for every year. For example, dentist checkups, car servicing and MOT, Christmas and birthday presents. Add them together and divide the total by 12 to get your monthly cost. 

If the total of these three categories of expenses is higher than your monthly earnings, you need to start cutting. You can’t usually cut the first group (apart from some exceptions we’ll get to shortly), so you’ll need to start reducing your discretionary spending (we’ll get to how later).

Keep going until you have an amount of money left over at the end of the month that will help you achieve your financial goal. For example, if you want £2,000 of savings after a year, you’ll need to set aside £167 each month. 

Cut Discretionary Spending and Variable Bills

Now you have to find ways to make your spending habits fit your budget. Here are some ways you can do that.

Use Promotions, Vouchers and Coupons

Using vouchers and coupons may not make you look cool, but they will let you keep more money in your pocket. You can use them for almost everything too, so you’ll find ways to save money in just about every category.

Supermarkets and food manufacturers offer discounts and freebies to encourage you to try new products to promote loyalty. You can also find discounts and promotions offered by restaurants, entertainment businesses like cinemas and bowling alleys, and online casinos like Paddy Power Casino

Remember to only use them if you were going to spend the money anyway. Visiting a restaurant because you have a voucher means you spent money you wouldn’t have otherwise, so it’s not a saving. 

Use Loyalty Cards

Loyalty cards are another great way to cut your spending; they let you earn points and get discounts off spending in stores like Tesco and Boots. Again, just be sure you only buy things you would normally, otherwise you’ll not actually be saving money.

Ditch Satellite TV

Expensive TV packages from the likes of Sky and Virgin Media can really hurt your bank balance. You can find alternative options for TV, movies and even live sport through streaming services. 

Many providers, including Amazon Prime Video, offer free trials, so use these first and then you can choose one to subscribe to for the longer term. At around £9 per month, these services cost much less than the most expensive TV packages from Sky and Virgin which can cost upwards of £50 per month. If you watch live sport, you may find that a NowTV Sky Sports pass is a cheaper way to watch games. 

Some money transfer services help not only to speed up and secure the transaction, but also save money on it. With online systems, the user does not need to open a bank account or wallet.

One of the most convenient options for both the sender and the recipient is an online transfer to a bank account. The sender can quickly carry out an operation without having to go to a bank, or collect a large package of documents, while the recipient does not need to pay a withdrawal fee. In addition, you can get by with a minimum of documents. You can transfer money through international payment systems in different ways: online and offline.

Cut Fixed Expenses

While you can’t usually cut your fixed expenses by much, there are some ways you can find savings. 

Switch Your Energy Provider

Although you can’t change your water company in England, you can switch to a different electricity and gas supplier. Online price comparison sites like USwitch and Money Super Market provide you with a list of suitable alternative companies. If you haven’t switched before or for several years, you’ll likely save hundreds of pounds per year by moving to a new company.

Remortgage

If you own your home with a mortgage, you may find you can reduce your interest rate (and therefore your monthly cost) by switching to a new lender. If you are not on a fixed rate/term mortgage, then you will likely be able to switch.

You can do it yourself, with several sites online that can offer help. Alternatively, you can use a mortgage broker or independent financial advisor to find you the best deal. 

Check Your Mobile Contract

If you pay for your mobile phone on a contract and you’ve had it for more than two years, you are likely paying more than you need to be. Contracts usually last for two to three years, after which you will have paid off the cost of the handset. 

Some companies don’t lower the monthly fee afterwards though. So if you’re happy to keep your current phone for a while, look at switching to a SIM-only contract, which will be significantly cheaper.
