    Thursday, April 3, 2008 how should I cure my dissatisfaction? (6 clicks)
From Plonkee Money - view blog entries - visit this blog
April 3, 2008 at 8:00 am ET I have a growing feeling of dissatisfaction.
One of the problems is that although I got a substantial 8% payrise after my last review (thanks again folks, I am genuinely pleased with this) I didn’t get a promotion. Not only did I not get a promotion, but two people who I consider my peers were promoted. [...] ... (more) Wednesday, April 2, 2008 From Plonkee Money - view blog entries - visit this blog
April 2, 2008 at 8:00 am ET When I travel abroad, I nearly always stay in a Youth Hostel. The first reason that I stay there is because they are inexpensive, ranging in price from say $5 to $50 a night, depending on your location, anywhere in the world.

For that money you’ll get a bed in a dorm, and a shared [...] ... (more) Tuesday, April 1, 2008 tell me about your favourite frugal habit (2 clicks)

April 1, 2008 at 8:00 am ET So, I’m not very frugal about clothes, or in fact many other things. I’m a lot more middle of the road - not too wasteful but not saving a great deal either.
At the moment, the frugal thing that I’m most proud of is that I walk everywhere I possibly can rather than taking the bus. [...] ... (more) Monday, March 31, 2008 don’t forget to use your ISA allowances (4 clicks)

March 31, 2008 at 2:43 pm ET If you have more money to put in your ISAs for the 2007-08 financial year, you have until 5th April to do so.
The allowed amounts are up to £3000 in a mini cash ISA, up to £4000 in a mini stocks and shares ISA, and up to £7000 in a maxi ISA (basically stocks and [...] ... (more) Wednesday, March 26, 2008 From Plonkee Money - view blog entries - visit this blog
March 26, 2008 at 8:00 am ET I often feel that as a personal finance blogger, I should be more frugal in my purchasing. Although I don’t throw money away exactly, I’m also not a follower of some of the most basic “being frugal” advice that there is. This is particularly true of clothes.
I usually pay full price for my clothes from [...] ... (more) Tuesday, March 25, 2008 From Plonkee Money - view blog entries - visit this blog
March 25, 2008 at 8:38 am ET For a while now, I’ve had a trickle of requests for a basic guide to investing in UK Stocks and Shares ISAs.

March 18, 2008 at 8:00 am ET I’m sure most of you non-Brits have heard of Paul McCartney. It’s also probably common knowledge that he’s in the process of finalising his divorce from his second wife, Heather Mills.
Much has been made here of her claims to a substantial sum of money, and she has eventually been awarded £24 million (plus child support). A conservative estimate [...] ... (more) Monday, March 17, 2008 From Plonkee Money - view blog entries - visit this blog

March 16, 2008 at 2:34 pm ET So many blogs, so little time. Some great posts I’ve read recently are:
making a good first impression @ clever dude. I think this is supposed to be about going for a job interview, but it’s actually great advice on meeting anyone for the first time in a professional setting - whether that be a new [...] ...

March 14, 2008 at 3:00 pm ET About this time last year I invested in a loan to an Azerbaijani minibus driver through kiva.org. Twelve months later, and the loan has been paid in full and it’s time for me to decide what I’m going to do with the cash. I could withdraw it and invest it in something with a monetary [...] ...

March 9, 2008 at 3:36 pm ET Quick roundup of some of the best personal finance posts of the last week:
from the carnival of personal finance we have college the poor kids way - I don’t especially agree with RacerX’s position, but it sounds like he’s forced to choose between paying for his kids’ college and retiring, which is of course no [...] ...

March 8, 2008 at 5:11 pm ET I’ve come back from having my hair cut a lot shorter. It’s amazing how a good haircut can make you look 10lbs lighter and 5 years younger. At £35 it’s not cheap, but it’s so worth it. Anyway, on with the show.
A big thank you to all the people who contributed to plonkee money’s success [...] ... (more) Friday, March 7, 2008 From Plonkee Money - view blog entries - visit this blog
March 7, 2008 at 7:00 am ET The lovely little house that I bought last year is Edwardian. I discovered after I moved in, that this means that it has high ceilings, and non-standard sized windows. Since I live in a pleasantly crowded inner city suburb, I shouldn’t really go without some kind of window dressing.
Now, in most of the rooms I [...] ... (more) Thursday, March 6, 2008 From Plonkee Money - view blog entries - visit this blog
March 6, 2008 at 7:30 am ET The m-network is currently doing a series highlighting Dave Ramsey’s 7 Baby Steps for getting out of debt and getting your life on the right track financially. Links to the rest of the steps are at the end of this post.
For those that don’t know, Dave Ramsey is a US based personal finance guru. [...] ... (more) Wednesday, March 5, 2008 quick midweek round up (5 clicks)

March 5, 2008 at 5:06 pm ET Just to let you know, the m-network have a new member, the ever delightful Mrs. Micah. We’re all really pleased that she agreed to join when we invited her - the discussion that the rest of us had about it was mostly trying to get everyone together quickly in case someone else snapped her up.
It’s [...] ... (more) From Plonkee Money - view blog entries - visit this blog
March 5, 2008 at 7:00 am ET I could have sworn that I’d written a very similar post to this before, but I couldn’t find it. In any case, I get asked quite a few questions about expat finances from British people living overseas (especially the US) and I know that a few readers are expats living in the UK. I thought this information - whose discovery [...] ... (more) Tuesday, March 4, 2008 From Plonkee Money - view blog entries - visit this blog
March 4, 2008 at 7:00 am ET Chris emailed me the following question:
Can my company insist on my retirement at state retirement age or do I have the right to continue my employment?
The answer I’ve found (via the TUC) is that unfortunately, yes, your employer can insist that you retire at state retirement age, but only if the company’s normal retirement age [...] ... (more) Monday, March 3, 2008 coming up on plonkee money (1 click)

First up, I’m joining in the m-network’s series on Dave Ramsey’s Baby Steps to Financial Freedom. Of course, Dave Ramsey is basically unheard of in the UK, so if you want to get an idea of what it’s all [...] ... (more) From Plonkee Money - view blog entries - visit this blog
March 3, 2008 at 7:00 am ET Here are some more answers to the questions that you asked last week.
E.C. said:
Ok, weird question of the day, what is “plonkee?”
It’s a nickname that I’ve had for a few years. It comes from Only Fools and Horses, where the favourite insult was to describe someone as a plonker meaning idiot. Plonkee was meant as [...] ... (more) Items 26 - 50 of 101
