The Modern Checklist for Long-Term Life Planning

Many of us have an image in our heads of what old age should and will look like for us. Where we will settle, who will be in our lives, and ways in which we will occupy our time are all ideas in our heads.

Long-term life planning is no longer something to ignore until disaster strikes. With varied careers, homes, and responsibilities, your plans should reflect your real life. Preparing now and using tools like savings, wills, and opting in to life insurance reduces uncertainty and builds confidence for the future, whatever it may bring.

Getting the Basics Legally Sorted...

An 80 year old friend insisted on a journey from Madrid to Exeter via Bristol airport, arriving in Exeter at 4 am today. A taxi was booked for her, but she needed to get to it across the road. Unbidden, an employee at the bus station asked her how she was getting home and escorted her and her luggage across to the waiting Gemini taxi. Yes, I know that is what should happen - but well done to the often maligned bus station staff for looking after her so well.

Phoenix Breakfast - Ottery St Mary

I would like to talk breakfast groups. OAC Ltd have been to many breakfast group meetings in and around Exeter in our time and indeed still do. What about you? Does your MD see a regular expenses claim for breakfast, if so, what do tell him he gets for his investment? What do you, maybe as the one who spends pounds putting on the lbs every week want from breakfast meeting, is a good breakfast the whole story? I have had bad breakfasts at great breakfast meetings. What makes it work?

Do you have a regular business lunch meeting? Which time of day is best? Lets face it, if we had the...

Whitehead's World: From one demolition job to another...

In the first instalment of his exclusive blog for The Exeter Daily, Chris Whitehead, the Exeter Chiefs hooker, finds himself banging his head on the (party) wall...

How do you deal with enormous highs and lows of being a professional sportsman? This weekend saw arguably the best victory of our season so far and yet I find myself devoid of any real excitement.

Is this down to not having any real involvement in the victory over the current champions (and no comments about the win and my absence being related please)? Maybe, but I can assure you the real reason for feeling...

So what do I write about for my difficult first blog?

So, my first ever blog. After much procrastination, excuse making and general displacement activity I’ve actually sat down and written something! If I’m honest, it’s all a bit scary. I’ve got no ‘blogging’ experience and yet I find myself sat in front of the computer typing as if I know what I’m doing.

So what’s needed in a first blog? I guess that you need to know something about me? The first hurdle – fundamentally I have no idea how to describe myself. In a desperate attempt to answer this (and in true lonely hearts fashion) I turned to my friends and asked them for three words...

Weddings can be expensive. Only recently I saw a blog from a bride-to-be in distress who'd been up all night decorating invitations by hand in an attempt to save money. Her mission, to stick to a wedding budget of under £5,000. Similarly, a divorce can also be expensive. Unlike a wedding, you don't have two families pulling together to make the dream come true, nor the emotional and financial support of your other half (or a honeymoon at the end of it). Weddings take time to plan, which usually gives you time to save. There are often presents. At a recent wedding I attended, the...
