How
Safe is my Money? In trying to answer this question extensive
research by the Government shows that the vast majority of UK workers
are losing-out in their efforts
to create a financially secure future for themselves and their
families. Headline news stories tell of stock-market and pension fund
losses for some - whilst others seem to enjoy "untouchable"
rights to future financial prosperity. How can these things be true?
Is everyone "losing-out" or just some of us...? And perhaps more to
the point - can anything be done about it?
The
thousands of people who have recently lost their jobs or perhaps their
life-savings - blame Equitable Life or Company Closures, or Pension
Scheme Failures - or terrorist actions for their financial misfortunes.
Whilst this is understandable - the painful truth is that anyone
without an "escape-route" or a "financial plan" to cover emergencies -
is in a potentially risky
situation. And if you don't recognise when you are "financially
vulnerable" - how can you take the necessary action to protect
yourself?
Government concerns over our future financial security
have apparently pin-pointed the real reason why so many of us are
financially vulnerable. It seems
we don't know enough about financial matters
generally - and our savings are
inadequate. We therefore need "guidance" on how
to go about setting
realistic money targets......!

The
Government has therefore taken a series of initiatives - designed to
raise people's general awareness in regard to "all things financial".
New Employment and Financial legislation now gives people more
protection at work - and a "safety-net" has been established by way of
the Pensions Protection Fund in order to protect people's long-term
savings. Prompted by the latest initiatives from the Treasury -
BWAOK
