Online resource 'could help with new year money management'

Consumers may be able to make use of online tools if they want to improve their focus on money management in the new year, it has been suggested.

Some of the resolutions that UK residents may make as the new year dawns have been highlighted by Directgov, with the online resource outlining how it could help people to fulfil their goals.

While noting that things like green living and volunteering may be resolutions for some, it has also been highlighted that the website could enable people to plan their finances more effectively.

Those looking to get credit in the near future may be keen to note that the site is able to offer details concerning borrowing, as well as how people might save more of their money.

Meanwhile, Money.co.uk has recently called for consumers to budget carefully if they are planning to head to any post-Christmas sales in the coming days.
