This web site is for anyone who needs to increase their income, or to generate funds to ensure that their pensions can adequately cover their needs in future years.
My approach is this.
Even if currently you are feeling wealthy, we all face an uncertain future. Pension funds can fail or be eroded, or can simply vanish. And the old policy of ‘buy and hold’ with shares has been ‘downgraded’ ie it simply is not (and never was) a reliable policy. In short, if you have cash, you need to make it work for you. If you don’t have cash, you need to generate it. You cannot rely on your employer or the government to do it for you.
I will cover a number of possibilities. You can jump to whichever page grabs your interest or use the chart alongside relating to how much cash is suggested as a minimum for each option.
Caution
Bear in mind there is no such thing as a ‘safe’ investment with a guaranteed high rate of return. Guarantees can be like the guarantee that every retailer of electrical goods pushes at you – a fine source of income for the provider of the guarantee, but a disproportionately high expense for the purchaser.
When it comes to guarantees of financial products, the longevity of the guarantor comes into question – not every failed guarantor like AIG will get bailed out by the taxpayer. Nor will the UK government necessarily pay out on what appears to be a guarantee. So a guarantee can actually prove to be worthless as well as expensive.
A possible conclusion is that in the interests of safety, you need to live a little more dangerously. Take calculated risks, rather than unthinkingly buying the appearance of safety. Look on every investment as being as safe as houses ie, not safe atall! Maybe 70% risk, maybe .01% risk, but don’t fool yourself that it is no risk. Government debt zero risk? Really? Which government?
The extraordinary world we live in dictates (at least in some ‘highly developed’ nations) that a man must have a certificate to produce and serve a sandwich, but he can run an economy with no education in economics (or banking,, business, insurance, risk analysis or anything else). We have no option but to put up with whatever mess our politicians steer us into, but we are responsible to ourselves for mitigating the effects of their incompetence and self serving short term policies (or lack of them).
