Full review

Financial sites tend to be quite informative, not brillantly well laid out, loaded with ads and spyware and on the top of it have some sort of catch/hidden agenda/subscription fee requirement.

Well, this site is none of the above things. It is extremely information, excellently laid out (infact the site just had a complete makeover recently) - it's ad free, no spyware, no payment required and on top of it is run by Martin Lewis of ITV's ''Make Me Rich'' who makes regular talk show appearences on shows like This Morning, GMTV, Wright Stuff, Trevor Mcdonald etc.

Martin Lewis is well informed on almost all financial issues and his interest in the field of saving money makes it easy to give layman advice professionally that is tested and trustworthy and honest. He doesn't intend to make money out of the site by no ads but the only money he does make is by affliate links he provides but even then he provides non affliate links, so you choose if you want him to profit or not.

The site is split into clear and succint sections e.g morgate, banking, insurance, shopping etc - he posts an article every week to an issue that's appropraite and massive enough in the news and provides a layman and simple explination in simple sections with headings.

There's even a community where you can ask for advice, where you can see feedback on Martin's recommendations - posts by Martin himself, a section where people tell you how you can get free stuff (and it works, i've tried it).

The site is brillant and there really is no catch - i am still trying to find out what it is, i don't think there is one! It's by a trustworthy person who is not going to charge you for information - there's lots of extras on the site too like a morgage calculator, a bank fee template letter that will get your fee's back. It all work's as well and it's completely free. You can't lose a thing and if you need some advice pop in to the money saving forum.

I thouroughly recommend this brillant site that is extremely informative, useful, free of charge and just waiting to save you money!
