Using The Internet To Manage Your Family’s Finance
Author: Rachel Lane
The effectiveness of managing family finances has never been
more significant, as parents struggle to find a balance between
work and family life. A recent study by Mother and Baby
magazine has found that new parents are getting less sleep than
previous generations, with new mums struggling to manage their
exhaustion.
Whilst there is no technological solution to sleepless nights
as yet, it is possible to assign many tasks which were once
only possible through physical movement, to the internet, such
as shopping and banking. No longer do you have to worry about
co-ordinating the demands of screaming children with your
weekly shopping list or about missing the bank at 5:01pm.
Whatever issues you may face with your child, there are plenty
of websites collating advice from parents around the world,
such as http://www.workingfamilies.org.uk/ and
http://www.babycentre.co.uk/.
There are websites such as
http://www.parentspenniespounds.co.uk/ offering financial
advice and support, and financial comparison sites such as
http://www.moneynet.co.uk/index.shtml , which ensure that
parents can always find the best deal for their finances,
including credit cards, loans, mortgage, life insurance, house
insurance, car insurance and the children’s savings accounts.
Many personal finance sites including moneynet also offer
“account aggregation” tools, which allow parents (and non
parents!) to manage all of their finances online, including
current accounts, savings accounts, loans and credit cards. If
you think your household bills are too high, uSwitch.com can
provide you with a comparison of providers for gas &
electricity, water and household communications.
And if that all seems a little too practical, take some time
out for a little light relief with
http://www.learnthenet.com/english/features/tenthings.htm.
This website offers a wealth of information about how to
extract useful information from the internet, as well as
providing more random suggestions such as the science of online
games, “design a structure of copper coins” and even the world’s
most calorific sandwich.
