The most popular specialist mortgage lender in the UK is a well known brand, the Accord Mortgages which offers great options for low credit score borrowers.

Going Green: How to Live a (Nearly) Cash-Only Life

Posted by Donald D. Monahan at Jan 05, 2012 | No Comments »

According to Time.com, the current average APR on credit card debt is 15.22%. For folks who aren’t disciplined about managing credit card debt or paying off their balances aggressively, the rate is a real eye-opener. All the cash-back rewards, airline miles, and perks in the world can’t justify the financial hit consumers take in long-term credit use and interest repayment.

With interest rates on the rise and credit card companies devising ever-craftier and creative ways to score a few bucks here and there, isn’t time to consider going cash-only? In 2010, I wrote an article on 6 Reasons Why Cash Is Still King. Now it’s time for a more pragmatic discussion on how to make a cash-only life work for you. Here’s how to give a big thumbs-down to the credit card companies and go cash-only.

Surprise! The first step in going cash-only is to actually get your hands on some of the stuff. It’s stil

For Some Orthodox Christians, Christmas is Coming This Week

Posted by Donald D. Monahan at Dec 31, 2011 | No Comments »

Christmas is over for many, but there are some Orthodox Christians who are looking forward to celebrating at the end of this week. Instead of using the Gregorian calendar, which is used by most of the secular for business purposes, and by many Christian sects to mark their feast days and religions observances, Orthodox churches use the Julian calendar. (Although some Orthodox sects use a revised Julian calendar that places Christmas at about the same time as what we see with non-Orthodox sects.)

As a result, the date of Christmas usually falls sometime around January 7th on the Gregorian calendar for some Orthodox churches.

Financial rules for a good financial plan

Posted by admin at Dec 13, 2011 | No Comments »

Even if you don’t want to take the services of the established financial planners, and you want to make a plan of this kind by yourself, it is better to follow the rules of the financial planners. Whether we are talking about establishing a plan for the real estate you might own, or you just need a few advices to establish some short-term financial investments, the plans implemented by those companies for their clients might work just as well for you also.

Plan your future. Allot some time to establish the financial objectives and include them in a realistic plan that will help you to succeed.

Don’t expect anything free. Be careful when you see announcements, vendors and other dubious financial offers promising free services. Aft Read more…

LBL, one of 17 national laboratories, may be the most pre-eminent lab in a country built on the creation of the telephone, TV, microprocessor, nuclear power and the Internet. But

When and how to change financial advisors

Posted by admin at Dec 05, 2011 | No Comments »

Things can get a little difficult if you have been in a long relationship with your financial advisor but feel that he or she is no longer providing satisfactory services. You may be wondering whether you should continue working with your current financial advisor, or just unsure about the process of changing financial or wealth advisors. Fortunately, changing advisors is a pretty straightforward process if you are familiar with it.

Firstly, is your financial advisor responsible for the poor results you are getting?

However, the markets are unpredictable, and financial advisors cannot guarantee that the employer’s expectations are met all the time. Read more…
