December 03 newsletter

This month, it's a bite-size Christmas candy newsletter that won't interfere with your present wrapping, end-of-year parties, carol singing….

In a few weeks, after the Christmas wrapping has been thrown out but before the credit card bills arrive, you may take the opportunity to review your personal financial goals.

We would like to suggest five topics that may help you achieve those financial goals in 2004.

• Budgeting is without doubt the essential financial building block
• Portfolio investing will help you avoid the excesses of any investment bubble
• Reducing the mortgage is for most people the major financial goal
• Begin planning for another Christmas

Next year, we'll be introducing a range of new topics and calculators including:

• Student loans
• Whether it is best to rent or buy
• Ethical investing
• Income protection insurance

The team at the Shape of Money would like thank you for your continued support.
