I know that many of you are looking for ways to save money and keep more of it in your current accounts – am I right? You’d rather spend your extra money on your kids or family I’m sure than pay extra bank charges or higher rates.

I know I feel that way and I can’t be the only one out there that does. I just found a site called the Thrifty Scot and while it’s aimed more for people living in the UK the tips and links on the site can be used by most everyone. I’m sure if I apply some of the advice that I found on the site I’ll end up with more money in our savings accounts.

Wouldn’t you like to find out how to get credit cards with lower rates so that you can keep your savings in your bank accounts rather than paying extra user or interest fees? I even found information on the site on how to help protect yourself from credit fraud. And speaking of credit cards, rates and possibly debts – if you are in need of a loan or information on getting loans you’ll find some great links that will lead you to places offering lower loan rates, and information on getting a loan in the loans section of the Thrifty Scot.

Of the many links on the site I found the sections on home insurance, and the areas that discussed mortgages and remortgages most helpful at this time. We just renewed our mortgage but when it rolls around again I’ve got some new information up my sleeve.

Check out the Thrifty Scot if you are in the UK or if you just want to find ways to save some money on things we all need and use – like home insurance, loans, mortgages, and credit cards.
