Hello , In fact, this week it's 'Hola' from me as I'm in Madrid, hosting a PayTech conference (you know, those gizmos you tap your card on when you pay in shops or restaurants). Boy am I learning a lot about the payments eco-system. You'd be
amazed at what goes on behind the scenes every time you go to pay for something! But why pay for anything if you don't have to? There's so much in life that's free we should concentrate on that before using our 'hard-earned'. |

In fact this week's newsletter is packed with free stuff, particularly ways to get free money! For a start, could you be owed flight
compensation? If you've flown recently it's quite likely that you were delayed horribly. Well, perhaps you could get some money back for that - find out here. And I have a big question: are you on track for a decent retirement income when you hang up your briefcase for the last time? Most people aren't, frankly, and the earlier you
check on your retirement fund the better. I have eight basic mistakes people make when they're coming up to retirement (or just thinking about it - however far away it is) so take a quick look at that to give yourself a prod to just check you're on track. It doesn't have to be a long and drawn-out process. Just check where you are, get a bit of advice then get on with your life! Stay warm and sheltered from the storm (oh, and if
the storm has got you thinking about home insurance, remember to shop around to find a good deal for you). Look forward to seeing you again next week! Love Jasmine :-) |

Swap to Save Money

Are You Owed Flight Compensation?
|
|
What should be the start of a relaxing break to ease the stresses and strains of our busy working lives has been anything but for millions of us looking for a foreign holiday this year. Wildfires, strike action, technical issues and a UK air traffic system failure have played havoc with the country’s travel plans and left many families almost £2,000 out of pocket.
