Managing your Daily Banking

Tallinn, Estonia


I’ve again been pleased to be asked by website www.SheInspires.com.au to put together some insights on tips and traps for everyday banking.
Here’s the link to what I’ve put together to help you understand and get the most out of your money:
http://www.sheinspires.com.au/money/making-money-from-bank-accounts
I hope you enjoy the read!
Also, I’m heading off to the AFS Conference in Estonia early in May and will be part of a panel discussion pitting the “Young Guns” (myslef included) against the “Rugged & Buggered” of the Financial Services Industry. I’m also taking some annual leave and will be doing a trip to Europe with the family first for the remainder of April before attending the conference.  Blog posts and updates may be fairly intermittent over this period, but I’ll be back on my return.  It will be interesting to see firsthand the economic conditions within various countries in Europe and how they’re coping with their own forms of the GFC and tightening of monetary policy.
Take care until then!
