How to make your money work for you

英 Daily Telegraphの見出しです。make your money work for youは何でもないような言い回しですが,自分にはなかなか使えません。ここは「お金の活かし方,利殖法(?)」といった意味でしょうが,workがキモです。そういえば以前,先生が"Make your English work for you”とゼミでおっしゃっていましたが,そのworkなのですね。(Astroriver)

How to make your money work for you in 2015
From voucher sites to loyalty points, here are ten tips to help you stay in the black

Pick the best deal on currency transfers

Whether you are paying for bills and a mortgage in the UK or having your UK pension sent to you in your new country, you are exposed to currency risk. But you can reduce this significantly by choosing the cheapest way to transfer that money at the best available rate. Currency transfer services are offered by the likes of HiFX, FairFX, Moneycorp, and new kid on the block TransferWise, which is a peer-to-peer international money transfer platform based in London.

These all tend to offer better rates than the banks, but you should check each to get the best deal with the lowest fees – and remember, zero per cent commission does not mean it is the cheapest or best deal.
International delivery websites

Living away from family and friends makes it expensive when it comes to Christmas, birthdays and other special occasions when you might wish to send a gift. So make the most of websites that offer free delivery internationally. MyInternationalShopping.com was set up to provide a directory of stores that offer free international delivery – even John Lewis in the UK will send abroad for free providing you are buying something worth £100 or more.
