The European Health Insurance Card: The Facts that Matter / Personal_Finance / Travel & Holidays
By: Dylan_Moran
Good quality healthcare is still a huge issue being tackled by many countries around the world. But for residents in European Union member countries, quality healthcare is now made more accessible through the European Health Insurance Card. This card is granted to citizens either free of charge or at a reduced cost where card holders will get access to medical treatment in 31 EU and EEA countries during a temporary stay. The card replaced the E111 card after it was discontinued in 2005.
The EHIC, however, is taking the spotlight again but this time, due to concerns over its validity after the UK exits the EU. This means that the EHIC will only work for UK citizens until March 29, 2019. But while the decision whether EU health card holders from the UK can continue to use its privileges or not, let’s take a closer look at all the facts that matter when it comes to the European Health Insurance Card:

Customers looking to switch their debts from one interest-free balance transfer deal to another will now have less time to repay their debt before interest applies compared to a year ago. In February 2018, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) introduced new rules to tackle the issues surrounding persistent debt and gave providers until September to adhere.
Since then, research from Moneyfacts.co.uk can reveal that the longest deal available today on 0% introductory balance transfers is 32 months, down by five months since this time a year ago, when the longest was 37 months. This is a steady decline in lengthy deals and seems set to continue.

Here’s The Real Reason You Stress About Money / Personal_Finance / Debt & Loans
By: Jared_Dillian
People get really stressed out about money.
Money makes people cry. Money causes people to lose sleep. Money causes marriages to hit the skids.
So how to not stress about money? Drink decaf? Yoga? Meditation? None of the above.
Having more money is not the solution either. Lots of times, more money causes more stress, not less.
In the sage words of The Notorious B.I.G., “Mo’ money, mo’ problems.” The people who stress about money with $10,000 in the bank would be stressed with $1,000,000 in the bank.
