Hi ,

Here's a question for you - are you suffering from a financial STD? It's insidious, it's silent and you usually don't know about it until it's too late.

We've got a great money maker for you this week as well - how to get paid to take part in psychology experiments. It's easy money if you manage to find a suitable test.


On top of that we've got some great offers, including an online survey which pays straight into your PayPal account for your opinions, and not one, but two exclusive competitions.


Check your inbox next week for a special bank holiday message.

Love,
Jasmine

PS. Did you know that tomorrow is 'Be a Millionaire Day'?

Yes, that's a thing. 

So it seemed a good time to again share this article - How to make a million by thinking it.

Don't worry, it's not some dodgy 'guru' advice - it's just an acknowledgement than money is totally bound up with how we think.

PPS. Congratulations to Lauren Green - the winner of our Lumie Bodyclock Starter competition.

The alarm is on its way!

Why your best investment right now is to pay off your mortgage

Jasmine
Yes, that’s right…investment.

Admittedly, paying off your mortgage is really paying off a debt – a big mother of a debt. It’s not, strictly speaking, an investment.

But I see it as an investment. Interestingly, so does my hero, multi-billionaire Warren Buffett, who has said a few times that the best and safest investment ordinary people can make is to pay off their mortgage.

Are you suffering from a financial STD?

STD
As if there weren’t enough things you could catch from a new partner, now more and more people are finding they’re getting a new type of STD.

It’s silent, it’s insidious and you usually don’t know about it until it’s too late.

It’s a Sexually Transmitted Debt.


 

Looking for income from your savings? Here are some alternative investments

Savings rates are shocking at the moment and they’re likely to be for a few years to come as we face a low growth, low interest environment.

So if you’re looking to live off your investments, particularly if you’re retired, it’s tough to find products that could give you a regular, decent income from them.
