Financial Planning

The Bigger Picture

The Government has its own website, DirectGov, and the page Money Tax and Benefits takes you directly to the financial elements of that site. There is a wealth of information on Benefits and Financial Support, Tax, Pensions, Managing Money and Debt Issues; an excellent site for your research before any financial decision making.

Guides to Finance

A good place to find impartial and comprehensive guidance on finance can be found at the Financial Services Authority (FSA). The FSA is an independent non-governmental body and the UK’s financial watchdog; their useful Consumer Advice page MoneyMadeClear has loads of interesting information. Try out the FSA financial product comparisons, guides, calculators and product explanations; a great site to do your research before listening to independent financial advisors and commercial sales staff. Another independent site, MoneyBasics, offers pages on financial advice across a broad financial spectrum; take a look at the Credit Card Calculator!
