While you can borrow up to 28 days later, we don’t lend to zombie debtors says speedeloans

Claims that one in six payday loans users are only able to service the interest on their debts, leading to people “racking up” even more debt, have been challenged by industry expert and CEO of speedeloans.com, Gary Miller-Cheevers.

According to research* by the R3 insolvency group, millions of Britons will turn to a payday loan in the next six months in order to tide them over until their next payday, with just over 16.5% becoming zombie debtors” – a phrase coined to describe people who can only pay the interest on their debt and not the debt itself.

Commenting on the R3 report, Mr. Miller-Cheevers says: “We understand that only 2000 people were surveyed. As only half of all adults ever use credit, the results are a little skewed. The figures do not agree with our data that shows that only 5% of our customers (one in 20) experience real debt problems.

Supercar Pileup = Free Advertising

Posted by Genry Read in Financial Reviews | No Comments

The Ferrari pileup in Japan is isn’t the first example of a luxury car demolition derby. The total damage is estimated at around ~$4million.

Call me suspicious but given that the cost of a Superbowl add is ~$3million, hiring a few stunt drivers and letting them crash on the highway would create an economic benefit (as long as all the drivers survive).

When I drive my Ferrari on the highway… OK… IF I was driving a Ferrari that I miraculously owned, I don’t think I’d set myself up to pile into someone from behind.

There are a multitude of reasons one might chose to begin investing in copper, so we’ll break down the pros, cons, and the methods for buying copper as an investment.

Why investing in copper is a good idea

Investors are building positions in copper as an investment for the following reasons:

  1. Limited Supply – The amount of copper available at inexpensive prices continues to dwindle. Miners that found copper easy to mine are finding it harder to produce more and more of it to keep up with demand. It is expected that at some point in the next 25 years, copper will have been exhausted, and future mining potential will be all but impossible. You can read more about Peak Copper at Wikipedia.
  2. Emerging Market Growth – Copper’s utility is maximized in infrastructural investments in pipelines, electrical wiring, and other much needed infrastructure in the developing world. The eme

Who are the Chartered Financial Planners

Posted by Admin in Financial Posts | No Comments

If you are planning to engage the services of a financial planner, it is wise for you to hire someone who is an actual chartered financial or wealth planner. Typically, this person is someone who has gotten the necessary education for certification (in areas such as financial planning, insurance planning, risk management, retirement planning, etc.), has passed the necessary examinations (depending on various countries’ requirements), has at least three years of relevant work experience and most of all, is committed to abiding by a professional set of code of ethics.

On the other hand, if you are considering a change in your career, this is also a viable option for you, especially if you find that you have a passion for helping others make positive changes in their lives, specifically in the area of personal financial management. N (…)
