Money, known as the root of all evil and something we can't do without. Some manage it better than others and some need a helping hand.
Channel 4 has handily launched this new money website to help you work out your finances. 4Money covers everything from loans, credit cards, mortgages, pensions and bills. Within the pages pf this site you can compare between 400 loans, 300 credit cards and find tips on saving money on bills. You can even see how rich (or poor) you are compared with everyone else in the UK by using the Rich-O-Meter tool.
If you find financial jargon somewhat daunting then brush up on finance terms by using the A-Z money Jargon. Are you generous or tight with money? Find out by using the Scrooge-O-Meter tool.
This site is well worth visiting, it contains information on the latest Budget announce by the government and enables you to compare all the latest mortgage, loan and saving rates.
4Money is not as in-depth as some financial websites but with its cheery design it offers an easy-to-digest overview of personal finance.
Swap My Discs
www.swapmydiscs.com
This site enables you to swap your music, films and games for free. It is one of many swapping sites that are coming online.
The aim is simple but effective as it provides you the means to get rid of old discs you no longer want and trade them in with ones you do want.
In order to start playing the trading game you will have to register to the site and pay the annual subscription, which is usually £14.99 per month. This site does contain some quality games, DVDs and CDs, so you have no need to worry about not finding anything worth your money or effort.
Technically this site is a glorified rental business. Before signing up to the site I strongly recommend that you read all the rules so you are 100 per cent on the way this site works.
In order to work this site effectively you will need an e-mail address and regular access to it as other users on the site will be contacting you to swap discs.
