What Can Fruit Flies Teach Us About Life Insurance?

February 5th, 2012 No comments

I often marvel at how fast my kids (ages 13, 12, 10 and 10) are growing up. When I sort though photos of their early years, it sometimes feels like it was just yesterday that they began to crawl or utter their first words. Of course that’s not the case – but what if it was. What if everything we experienced in our lifetime, from our own childhood, to marriage, kids, retirement and even death was condensed from years into only a few short days?

It may be hard to imagine, but such is the life of a fruit fly. They’re known for their famously short lives. The average life span of a fruit fly is a mere 30 days. So why am I educating you about fruit-fly mortality on a blog intended to shed light about issues related to human mortality? Well…

January 17th, 2012 No comments

Mortgages were the fourth most complained about financial product, the FOS revealed, after PPI, credit cards and current accounts.

Mortgages garnered 2,796 complaints in the second quarter of the financial year, compared to 2,044 in Q1.

However, despite the rise, the FOS only ruled in favour or the borrower in 33% of mortgage complaints, down from 36% of cases in the three months to June.

In addition, mortgage endowment complaints grew from 603 in Q1 to 895 in Q2, with 28% of complaints upheld in the three months to September compared to 26% the previous quarter.

Overall, the FOS saw complaints fall 38% in Q2, with PPI complaints slumping almost 66% from 56,025 in the first quarter to 19,256 in Q2.

Excluding PPI, complaints for all other financial products rose 24%.

The PPI uphold rate increased to 92% during this period, up from 55% in Q1, as banks have agreed with the FOS’ findings on complaints that have previously been on hold.

A FOS spokesperson said the overall increase was not linked to any particular product, but was probably due to consumer concern over the volatile economic situation.

“Consumers are seeing things they are not happy with, like underperformance or an inability to switch out of investments as quickly as they would like.

“With the current economic situation people are looking at their finances a lot closer,” the spokesperson said.

How did I save more with the same salary

January 11th, 2012 No comments

We all go through this inertia of saving at a salary which barely manages our living expenses. Nowadays, the situation is going through a tough grind for many who have no or marginal salary hikes in the last couple of years. Plus the inflation seems to be in no mood to sober up. Last year, I did not add a single savings or investment product to my portfolio and moreover I discontinued paying premiums for one of my insurance policies. Mounting expenses at the same income levels just leave us with little choices.

So what does one do when the regular monthly salary doesn’t leave any scope for savings? Well see if my approach can be of any use to you. <
