Recession Forces More Brits to Make Life-Changing Financial Decisions

April 16, 2009 in Associate Membership, Business, Land Surveying, News

A new survey from Selftrade reveals a marked shift is taking place in people’s attitudes to money – as major life changes during the recession in 2009 create a society intolerant to debt and less likely to trust others to manage their money.

London (PRWeb UK) April 14, 2009 — With the economic slowdown forcing many to refocus their career and domestic goals, the Selftrade research of 2,095 UK adults discovered that around 50% of British adults have been forced to make a ‘Plan B’ in the last year, as their lives have taken a surprise turn in a different direction. In 87% of these cases, a life change drove a major shift in financial outlook and habits.

Crash Proof 2.0

Crash Proof and Crash Proof 2.0: How to Profit From the (Coming) Economic Collapse

Product Description
The economic tipping point for the United States is no longer theoretical. It is a reality today. The country has gone from the world’s largest creditor to its greatest debtor; the value of the dollar is sinking; domestic manufacturing is winding down – and these trends don’t seem to be slowing. Peter Schiff casts a sharp, clear-sighted eye on these factors and explains what the possible effects may be and how investors can protect themselves. For more than a decade, Schiff has not only observed the U.S. economy, but also helped his clients reposition their portfolios to reflect his outlook. What he sees is a nation facing an economic storm brought on by growing federal, personal, and corporate debt, too-little savings, a declining dollar, and lack of domestic manufacturing.
Crash-Proof is an informed and informative warning of a looming period marked by sizeable tax hikes, loss of retirement benefits, double digit inflation, even – as happened recently in Argentina – the possible collapse of the middle class. However, Schiff does have a survival plan that can provide the protection that readers will need in the coming years. Read the rest of this entry →
