Even if you aren’t doing much with the stock market it can be a good idea to keep up with at least the basics of financial news. It’s just a generally good idea to know how the economy is going as it can impact much of your life, whether you realize it or not.

I found a site that gives financial news for the UK. If you live there or if you have reason to be interested in what is going on there, this is a good thing. The site offers forums and a blog so that you can keep up on what interests you and discuss it with others. You’ll also find out what other people think.

The blog does not appear to be updated too often, which is a pity, but the news sections do get new information most days. Financial information changes regularly, so this is necessary. And of course the news does not cover only the UK, as the economy of other nations has plenty of impact.

Depending on what you are looking for, you can get relevant news. While I am not in the UK, I found the mortgage news interesting. I live in an area where there is plenty happening with mortgages, most notably foreclosures, so this is of interest to me.

All in all, if you’re looking for financial information, this is a fair resource. They share news that you might find interesting. It is presented as more informational than opinion, which is often what you need on financial topics. Better to keep the opinions to when you discuss things with others on the forums.
