As you grow older it becomes more and more important that you take care of your future, not just for yourself but for your family members and loved ones as well. And what with the current financial climate happening in almost every part of the world it is even more important than ever.

There are many things you can do but one company you might not have heard of is called MarketRiders.

They are a company that specialise in asset allocation, a certain type of investment that I believe is safer. You answer a few questions about yourself and they will draw up a custom investment package just for you.

One reason why this is a good idea is because if you take up one of these investment options then you will not have to worry about your money falling victim to the devastating fees and taxes that most governments implement. The company deliberately goes for the lowest tax options available in your country.

It is certainly a better option than any 401k rollover option I’ve seen.

One of my close friends has followed in my footsteps and has bought himself a classic car. He has bought himself a VW and I have to say that I am incredibly jealous and will be pestering him to let me get under the hood at some point.

He is not really as big a car fan as I am but I like to encourage him, and it is far better than his deep sea fishing hobby. I already hooked him up with a number of reliable web sites that specialise in selling classic VW accessories, so he won’t have the kind of headache I had.

I wonder how his wife is taking the news? When my wife found out about my love of tinkering with cars she wasn’t best pleased, especially when she would turn over at 2am and I’d still be out in the garage playing away.

I’m quite surprised cars don’t cause more trouble in marriages than they do!

There are two things that I like to do online, one is buy cheap items from auction web sites and the other is make the odd donation to charity. Today I came across an auction web site that is run by a charity.

Bidazzled is an auction web site that is set up and run for a charity called The Ruch Foundation, which is a charity about lung cancer. This means that every thing you buy the money goes to the charity.

The auction is run in the same style as a penny auction. The idea is that you buy your bids and are able to use them on whatever items you wish, so in theory you could buy 25 bids and use them all on one item.

When you join you are given five free bids to get the ball rolling, according to their site in the past two months two people have won Nintendo Wiis with their first five free bids. And for a limited time (until January 15th) they are running an offer where new members get 15 free bids. All you have to do is enter one of the following codes:
