managing money course
A lot of this content was already familiar to me but it was good to read it as a refresher. I already have experience with IVA/Debt etc so I didnt find much of it helpful. For someone in a lot of financial difficulty this could be useful for them.
I already have a savings account but its with a credit union as its not as easily accessible as a bank.Managing my Money
Very useful as breaks down topics into sections. Helps to prioritise debts/incomes to become more manageable.
Piece on mortgages very well written and presented.
Does assume that you have access to PC and internet and a certain level of comp. literacy.
Would like to have seen examples of interest charges from various sources such as banks/credit unions/payday lenders etc. Difference between simple and compound interest not explained.
