Cars.

A necessary part of our everyday lives and a source of endless expenditure (Finance Physician's old banger is constantly breaking down; much like his work ethic on a Friday!)

Buying a car can be a costly business, and more so if you want the latest model! With the O7 registrations coming out on Thursday, you might want to rethink your plan of how you can afford the latest runaround!

Dealers make quite a lot of extra profit from selling car finance alongside their cars, so it makes sense for you to know how to get more car for your cash! So what is the best way to borrow money to buy that nice little motor?

Why not take a look at this handy 4 step guide to saving thousands on your next car?

Then, if you decide a personal loan is the best option for you, why not get some impartial help with arranging one?

(ps Addeva and Buyyourcar are part of the same group as The Money Hospital -just so you know!)

The splendid people at helpful and impartial fool.co.uk have produced a little gem of a guide to how to save money on entertainment!

So if you want to save money on cinema and theatre tickets, DVD rentals, days out, entrance to museums as well as restaurants and hotels, then pop over and have a look!

Expenses are a touchy subject!

Plastic Surgeon's monthly expenses forms have been a constant source of amusement for Matron when he tries to claim money back for things that he clearly shouldn't!

But the truth is, he is far from alone. It seems to be that more than a few employees in this country are falsifying their expense forms!

Expensive gifts, holidays, wine, taxis; you name it, people claim it!

A recent survey shows that employees swindle their bosses out of nearly £1billion a year!

Banks!! Grrrrrrr...

Yes, yet again these money making machines are mentioned in the mutterings of the Money Hospital...

We for one, are not happy to see more and more of you being admitted to the wards with money issues. However, a lot of you are now beginning to fight back against the banks and their often overpriced and underhand tactics and policies!

With many of you claiming money back on bank penalty charges, and credit card and mortgage fees, the banks are not taking it lying down.

Although some of them are threatening to close bank accounts, many of you are not backing away from the fight!

And as they say, knowledge is power, so we aim to give you power by showing you this handy guide to the 10 ways to get back at your bank!

More and more banks are now charging us account fees, or monthly maintenance charges, but why?

Well, it's clearly something to do with the high numbers and success rate of many of you claiming back unfair banking charges!

Banks don't like to lose money, and with more than 1 million of us having downloaded complaint forms from consumer websites, and with more than £50 million being refunded in penalty charges, banks will continue to lose a whole lot more money!!

So they want to get some of that money back and so one way of doing this is through having account charges!

Most of us don't want this to happen but there are some banks that are (at present!) committed to free banking. A few are currently offering great interest rates and cash incentives to entice us to switch to their (free) current accounts.

Halifax is even offering you £100 if you switch to one of their current accounts!

So if you are fed up with being charged to gain access to your money, then maybe its time you switched?
