We have all read stories about people who have experimented living without spending any money whatsoever. By growing their own food, washing in the river, using a solar panel to provide electricity, and bartering for certain goods and services, these adventures have met with limited success. However, for us mere mortals the simple fact is that we need money. Money to buy food, to purchase clothes, to pay our bills, as well as indulging in our other infinite wants and desires.
While it can be a struggle to make ends meet, it is possible to make life easier through better money management. Financial management is about planning income and expenditure and making informed decisions that enable you to survive financially.
If you are looking to make changes to your investment portfolio, there are a range of options available. You could use the services of an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA), contact your bank, or follow Warren Buffet’s advice and buy passive investment which seek to replicate the performance of a market index.
