Moneymanual - THINKING ABOUT  MONEY

 

 

Handling money well and planning your financial future are two of the most important skills that you need in life. Yet, a recent report revealed that around 29% of British adults find it hard to get independent, simple advice about money. Making good decisions about money is a challenge for anyone, whatever their income level.

The aim of this book is to help you answer these questions by providing simple and clear information and pointing you in the right direction for further help. This should give you the confidence you need to understand the basics of handling money well.

 

If you feel you need more help the Consumer Credit Counselling Service (CCCS) free helpline - 0800 138 1111 - is available Mondays to Fridays 8am to 8pm.

Because of the nature of this book, simplifications and generalisations have had to be made. Dealing with debt is often extremely complicated and therefore we cannot be held responsible for any action taken, or indeed not taken, by readers based solely on the contents of this book.

Anyone facing serious debt problems must seek expert advice.
