I vividly remember dealing with a client many years ago at the financial institution where I worked. He was in his late-50s and wanted to put aside some funds for his retirement. Preparing to discuss investment options and strategies for this objective, I asked him how much money he had to start his plan.

He presented me with a cheque for just over $150,000, and after I asked some pertinent questions, it became clear that this was the sum total of my clients net worth. He explained that he had worked in the music industry for his entire life and had seen a lot of money pass through his hands, but had never thought about putting aside some of his earnings for the future.

How planning ahead with your money can really pay off

Advertorial Feature

At some point or another weve all been given the advice to stop worrying! Whatever it is thats playing on our minds, sleepless nights and fretting about the worst-case scenario can often lead to small problems becoming big distractions.

According to new research, worrying about finances can come with an additional cost youll almost certainly want to avoid. A survey by NSamp;I revealed that people who spend their time worrying about their bank balances save an average of pound;53.47 a month – yet people who give more thought to financial planning (and spend less time worrying) typically put aside...

When it comes to a topic as important as your finances, its smart to ask plenty of questions so you can make well-informed decisions. Here, we have answers to 10 of the most frequently asked money and debt questions.

1. Whats better: Paying off a high-interest debt or a debt with the smallest balance?

In the long-term, youll pay less by paying off your highest-interest rate cards first. However, several studies have shown that people have more success getting out of credit card debt if they pay off the debts with the smallest balances first; the sense of achievement from getting rid of a debt keeps people committed to their overall goal of becoming debt-free....

Here’s a quick look at the study findings.

• Fuel: up 14.8 percent – The cost of fuel had the largest percentage increase from 2011, to an average of 14.2 cents per mile for sedan owners. Regular-grade fuel, used by most vehicles in the study, increased 16.6 percent to $3.357 per gallon (compared to $2.880 per gallon in the 2011 study).
• Tires: up 4.2 percent – Rising one cent per mile, on average, for sedan owners, tire cost increases are attributable to higher costs for natural rubber and oil used in tire production as well as transportation costs from factory to distributors. AAA notes a collateral factor is auto manufacturers equipping new cars with...

Given how busy our lives seem to be these days, its no wonder that many of us feel stressed and chronically anxious about money and even more chronically short of time to do anything about it. We question how to make time to write a detailed budget, to read up on stock tips, or to figure out a retirement strategy, when all we really need to do by tomorrow is pay our utility bill and buy gas for the car. But the truth is that people need to develop a plan for their money that will enable them to live the life they want for themselves and for their families. This is the first step in getting your financial life in order.

Planning your financial future is an ongoing process, not a one-time...

I just read an article describing the current horsepower races European (mostly) auto manufacturers are indulging in. I say mostly because it is primarily a European race – the North American manufacturers are a little busy rebuilding these days. So, with the exception of a handful of muscle cars such as the 500-and 600-horsepow-er-plus Mustangs, Camaros, Corvettes and the next-generation Vipers, the domes-tic Big Three are pretty much staying out of it.

The trend by the Europe-an companies is to develop smaller and smaller engines that put out more and more horsepower. So, while horse-power is increasing, the engines displacements are decreasing – as are the number of cylinders...
