Hello and welcome to Working Money, the BOC Pensions guide to You, Your Money and Your Future: I'm Sarah Hales. We'll be looking at what you might want from your money, where it's going at the moment, what the future might be like and what options you have to help get you to where you want to be. Finally, we'll help you to take action. This programme is about you actually doing things rather than about you just taking in ideas. By working through our five steps you should be able to get to grips with your money and make your money work better for you.
Working Money will combine videos, such as this one, with text and tools to help you find out all that you can about your money and how to make it work harder for you. We'll talk to experts to see how we can best manage our money and watch some people at a Working Money roadshow to see how they are getting on. Throughout the five steps we'll ask you to take a look at your own life and your own money so that you make the most of these materials.
At times you will be able to input your own facts and figures into tools on this site but we don't store any of your personal details. So if you want to keep a record of anything, you'll need to print it out before you close the programme. There are points when the programme will specifically remind you to do this, but you can do it at any time by clicking 'Print my record'. If you have a slow internet connection you may be interested to know that there is a DVD version which has all the videos on. There is also a workbook which has all the video scripts and pen and paper versions of the tools — perhaps not quite so simple but still very handy to use!
However you access the materials, you'll have exactly the same five steps:
Step 01: What is your goal?
Step 02: Where are you now?
Step 03: Are you on target?
Step 04: What are your options?
Step 05: Take action.
Remember, this is about you and your money - your future. It's not about your boss, your colleagues or the man who lives down the street. We hope you get as much out of Working Money as you can and you know what they say 'the more you put in, the more you get out'… When you are ready, start Step 01: What is your goal?
