If you have a life insurance policy, in the event of your death, your family will be financially provided for. Read more information about this in the beginner’s guide to life insurance.
If you have an existing life assurance policy, you may benefit by looking at comparison quotes and changing your provider. This is called re-broking. Before you do so, be aware that age will be taken into major consideration when calculating premiums; the older you are, the more at risk of death you are, and the higher your premiums. Therefore you may not find a cheaper deal than your existing one.
The terms are often used to mean the same thing although there is a difference: life insurance pays out if something happens to you, whereas life assurance pays out when it does.
Term cover provides a lump sum payout if you die during the course of the policy; it is the most well-known insurance cover.
This can sometimes be referred to as life assurance as it is guaranteed to provide a payout when you die. Whole of life cover is more expensive than term cover as it carries the guarantee.
Taking out adequate Home insurance offers protection for your property and its contents. You can take out buildings insurance, contents insurance or both. See our beginners’ guide to home insurance.
Buildings insurance offers protection for the permanent structure of your home and any fixtures and fittings that are permanent and not free standing; this might include fitted furniture, including kitchens and sanitary ware.
You will not be able to get a mortgage unless you have proper home insurance cover. Even if you are the sole owner of the property, you will need suitable protection for your investment or real estate.
When you take out contents insurance it means your personal possessions and valuables are covered against accidents, theft and loss.
If you need both buildings and contents insurance buying a joint policy will almost certainly be the cheapest and most convenient way to insure both. You must first take into account factors such as whether you own or rent the property and what you are looking to benefit from home insurance.

If you want to borrow money from a bank, building society or other source, it is called a loan; you will have to pay interest on your repayments and be at risk of debt if you cannot manage to pay back each month. Find out more in our beginners’ guide to loans.
It depends on what you need the money for but as a general guideline, it’s wiser to borrow only the amount you think will cover your needs. Sometimes though, if you borrow a large sum you may be charged a lower rate of interest and it’s worth shopping around.
The APR (annual percentage rate) is not the only figure to consider. Look at your monthly repayments and also the Total Amount Repayable (TAR), which includes fees and charges and will therefore reflect a more accurate figure.

An airline will usually charge between 5 and 15 different prices for the same seat over its shelf life
If you fly late at night or early morning it can mean routes are less crowded.
When booked in advance, prices will be lower; as the plane fills up prices will rise. Conversely, as the departure date draws nearer, airlines usually lower prices significantly in order to fill empty space.
It is generally thought that exactly 21 days prior to departure is the optimum time to book for the cheapest prices. Individual circumstances will vary, but airlines may count their empty seats and lower prices accordingly within this 3 week window of time.
It is worth noting that it is often mid-week when airlines begin shifting remaining seats for upcoming flights; Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon may be the best times to book.
Flying late at night or early morning often mean less crowded routes; however, you may pay for this with lengthier airport stays or arriving after, or before, hotel check-in.
During off-peak times, airlines need to maintain a schedule; if you can arrange for your trip to be mid-week, you may get a cheaper, and quieter, flight.
