This weekend I bought the Eddie Hobbs magazine because it promised to reduce your mortgage, save 10K per annum, an insight into the Irish property world and how to invest your SSIA… all things which I am interested in.

I have to say I was really disappointed with the magazine. The whole thing is just common sense on printed glossy paper (which costs 2.95) – for example – to save 10K per annum the tips given by E.H is to: not use convenience shops (use super markets instead), shop around for cheaper {home, car, life & mortgage} insurance, move your mortgage to a lender with lower rates (beware this can be very dangerous – you can only switch every 5 years and you may get tied into a scheme that is nice to begin with .. but in the end sting you hard!), bring lunches to work and find a cheaper mobile tariff..

I mean.. come on! this is common knowledge/sense I won’t go into the other great ‘tips’ for the rest of the stuff because it isn’t worth my time.. a copy can be found in the coffee room.

I want my 2.95 back Eddie!
