What do I need to know about pensions?

A pension is a form of saving for retirement, with some associated tax
advantages. When you retire or reach a certain age, a pension scheme pays you a
regular income for life. For most companies it's an obligation to give you
access to a pension scheme or at least point you towards a financial advisor who
can explain the ins and outs of the thousands of pension options that are
available.

How can I save money?

If you're having a tough time with money, you may have to make a choice between
getting into more debt, becoming a hermit, or coming up with some ways to save
the pennies.

Here are a few handy hints to make sure you're able to make the most out of the
money you have, whether it's a small pay package, a redundancy pay off or dole
money.

How can benefits and bonuses boost my income?

As far as many employers are concerned, one sure-fire way to boost the
commitment and contentment of their staff is simply to pay them more money. But
research has shown that this could actually have precisely the opposite effect
and that a combination of bonuses and benefits is a much more effective way to
create a happier and more motivated workforce.

How do I negotiate a better salary?

Once you've established your personal market value, how do you actually make
sure you get it? It can be easier holding out for more money when you're in the
process of being offered a job than trying to get a raise when you actually have
one, but the negotiating process is essentially the same.

How can I work out my value in the job market?

Different jobs and industries have vastly different pay scales. As you work out
your real worth in the job you are in now or hope to move into, do everything
you can to research the market.
