Hello,
With the start of spring its not just our gardens that are bursting into life, but the economy too is showing signs of renewal. Australia leads a handful of countries pulling their way out of recession, a topic we look at on page 3 - 'Confidence is Back.
Spring is also a good time to start afresh with your savings - especially with the news that interest rates may rise over the coming year. 'Rainy Day Savings on page 2 tells you where to start.
On page 4 we look at the value of good service and how memorable it is when you get it.
Enjoy this newsletter and feel free to pass it on to family and friends.
