We were happy to be back in TV3 with Sybil and Marting talking about mortgage solutions and which ones work for borrowers in trouble.

Secret savings in life insurance

Lots of time is spent in finance columns where the writer is really trying to demonstrate how smart they are rather than showing you a way to save money. I don’t try to prove I’m smart because the truth is I’m a regular person like anybody else, but what I am good at is practical advice that works. Which is why this week I’m going to share one of finances best kept secrets, it’s how to get tax relief on your life insurance! You can call any life insurance company and probably never be offered what I am going to show you today, but trust me, it is both true and accurate.

Sun on Sunday – the Chicago Plan

Here’s a bailout worth considering…. f”34k the banks, and start a new one. This is not a novel idea, it’s called capitalism, one of the key things people bang on about is how ‘capitalism has failed’, it hasn’t, politicians have failed by putting national resources behind institutions that scarce warrant the unending support they have received. That we are starting to figure this out only AFTER we have spent all the money, so most of this is about spilt milk, but not all of the milk has been spilt, just this week we blew €600,000,000 on defunct and toxic Anglo (now ‘IBRC’) and on the 1st of October we’ll be blowing €1,000,000,000 on AIB.

Spoofery on property tax

Almost everybody who isn’t a politician agrees that politicians lie. Actual politicians don’t see it that way, the see it as being forced to accept a series of working realities which unveils the way the system ‘actually works’ versus how we would ‘like it to work’. The truth is that in effect they do lie when you compare election promises to results, but they don’t do it with total intent.

But sometimes they do, and we are seeing that with our proposed property tax which is a clear demonstration of lap-dog leaders who want nothing more than to be ‘box tickers’ for the troika. You see, we are being told that ‘no decision has been made’, but that is contrary to the facts surrounding the debate once you do some digging.
