Statistics for Funeral Planning in UK Grave / Personal_Finance / Pensions & Retirement

By: ....

Recent research has revealed that a shocking 45% of Britons have made no provisions for the event of their death, and that one in ten of the survey respondents foresee that their friends and family will have to foot the bill when they pass away. British Seniors Insurance Agency, an insurance company specialising in British Seniors, conducted this research via Opinium Research earlier this year.

This research uncovers the grave truth about funerals, memorial services and deaths - often loved ones are expected to take on the financial burden. With costs of funerals rising to an estimated £5,469 in some areas of the UK, this can cause substantial emotional stress. The research results suggested that, of the respondents surveyed who had managed the affairs of their loved ones, 58% admitted that it had a direct effect on their emotional health. This statistic was even higher among those respondents in the age bracket of 18-34 years old.

By: MoneyFacts

Holidaymakers who are preparing to take a trip abroad may be busily sorting out their travel money and packing their last-minute essential items, which probably includes their debit or credit card.

Is a Cash Ban and Carry Tax Coming to the US? / Personal_Finance / War on Cash

By: Graham_Summers

Europe has banned the use of €500 bills.

The reason?

They claim these bills are used in money laundering and for drugs. And if you believe that is the concern, you probably believe the earth is flat.

The fact of the matter is that Europe is now the center for misguided Central Planning for monetary policy. ECB President Mario Draghi has cut interest rates not once, not twice, not even thrice, but FOUR times into NIRP.
