Hi ,

Have you ever heard the ancient Chinese proverb "May you live in interesting times"? It sounds like a blessing, but it's actually supposed to be a curse!
 
Unfortunately, we do live in interesting times at the moment. If you watch the news you'll see the markets fretting about Greece, the eurozone and goodness knows what else. And the truth is, no-one can really say for sure how it will all pan out.
 
Having said that: don't panic! Markets are always unstable. Take advantage of bargains, save when you can and remember there are plenty of things you can do to make a bit on the side - everything from earning hundreds of tax free pounds from solar panels to making money in your lunch hour.
 
And we'll keep the money-making ideas coming - even in the 'dull times'!
