So look forward to the New Year and your new life with MoneyForce’s 5 top tips:
- Reduce your debts – it’s usually a good idea to pay off expensive debts first (eg credit card) so it’s not eating into your day-to-day money. Use our Credit card calculator to see how paying off a little more each month can reduce your debt.
- Do the MoneyFit Challenge – check what your current situation is and what you need to do to get on the right track.
- Agree where you will live – unless you have family or work commitments, could you move to a cheaper part of the country? Use the HomeFinder tool to find out how likely you are to get a mortgage.
- Use your existing skills or retrain – you can use your Learning Credits in conjunction with your Training Costs Grant to fund activities which form part of your personal resettlement plan. Take advantage of organisations that can help you write your CV and check out their job directories, they have a wealth of employers willing to take on ex military personnel.
- Look forward and stay MoneyFit – review your budget whenever your circumstances change with the Budget planner and save for your future with the GoalSaver.
The future is in your hands and with a little help from MoneyForce (and friends) you can make it work for you!
