Tips for Re-Education Financial
* Tip 1: bad and good habit Habit
Almost always the way to work, back in the car with a friend. I’m very protective of the people I love or anyone entering the car so we demand that you please use a seat belt, accidents are accidents and you never know when, where and with whom they will.
The first few months every day I had to ask my partner to put the belt, now you do unconsciously. This is a good habit, not using the belt a bad habit.
Financially the same thing. Bad habits can be compulsive or impulsive spending, debt, always use credit cards, not manage the finances, etc, etc, etc.
So the advice here is to try to target these bad financial habits you have and try to change them. If you smoke, surely you do out of habit, but when it is known that smoking is doing. Then with the money as well, you know when you are managing or using their money so that it can hurt.
Try making a list or write when you see those bad habits, then keep it in a place where the display.
* Tip 2: Have a spending plan
The famous phrase “the money I was out of control” or “money burning me” has to do with the lack of planning and cost control. Read the rest of this entry »
Causes of Financial Problems
On the other hand live in a society where spending money is what matters. Today there is so much consumption, which are not part of it (speaking of objects not very important) would be like being from another planet.
In a consumer society becomes very difficult not to fall into the temptation to spend on something, not to mention the publicity that comes into our heads and we tinker with all cables. You end up buying 15 phones for years always saying “this is just the cell that was in need.”
Another important factor in the family, a subject already talked a bit but to summarize, our home education can not always be the best. For example, I come from a family that has had many money problems, trying to help at this point many responses were negative.
Even when I talk about investing or generate new revenue by some members oppose and tell me what I have to do really. My question at this point is: What advice can you give me one person on money management, when that person has such financial problems?.
However, that education and financial advice has been passed from generation to generción creating the illusion that it is part of our tradition. The study, work and earn money. The investment for them is impossible, in fact the word “investment” in their heads do not have a specific meaning, because it is an issue which does not speak much.
Tips for Improving Personal Finances
In today’s entry I will make a short introduction to the reason why many people have bad habits with money. In a way I will advise based on techniques or tools that I gave good results.
The idea is that you begin to choose among those options that best suit your needs and even create your own financial plan.
The picture today is to put a ticket on fire. Here in Argentina is often hear the phrase “Money burns me” as saying that we lose it easily and that is why I decided to create this post.
* Why do we have financial problems?
Not to the point of talking at the level of the national economy, but rather trying to take as the axis center the subject or the person who has the money, we can say that A or key facto in this process is you.
Robert Kiyosaki mentioned in many of his books that people are accustomed to bad money management. At this point I strongly agree with him. But the key question is: What factors contribute to our financial ignorance?
* The answer is simple: The financial education that gave us
Until today I have not seen in schools and universities are touching on money management topics and personal finance. Not touch on issues such as taxes, banking. Issues we deal with almost 80% of our lives. So people are forgetting an important education 80%.
8 Steps to Make A Budget
Making a budget is an essential process which enables you to better manage your expenses and control your debt. The first step to controlling your financial situation is to make a realistic estimate of the money you make and money you spend.
These are the steps to make a budget:
* Start by making a list of all your monthly income.
* Make a list of fixed expenses each month, as mortgage or rent, car payments, insurance, etc.
* Then make a list of expenses that vary from month to month, for example clothing, entertainment, etc. Writing down all your expenses, including those that seem insignificant, is a way to help you see how you spend your money, identify necessary expenses, and prioritize the rest.
* If you do not know what your variable expenses (most people do not know) points out all your expenses for two months.
How do I Calculate How Much Money I Need
Most people have multiple debts and payments. We all know that we have a mortgage, car loan, card … But what almost nobody knows is how much money you actually how much time is left to pay and at what cost (interest rate) is paying those debts.
It is very appropriate that we keep a tight check on these data, to know at any time if our situation allows us to meet these debts.
Reports and to request a payment plan
The first thing we do is a list of all loans that we have, other periodic debts and insurance payments will be addressed (taxes, incidentals, etc..) Some of these debts relate to loans for which we paid interest and others do not.
For example, among the debts with interest are: mortgage, car loan, personal loan (for any expenses) and credit card.
Interest-free debts
Debts without interest but we have to pay monthly or other intervals, but we can plan because we know that exist, include: income tax, vehicle tax, tax on the rateable value, shares of the residents, vehicle insurance, home insurance and personal, car reviews (ITV, maintenance …) and so on.
Contingencies
And there will be another section of contingency, we can take into account, and which, although it is uncertain, we can sense in our experience. This is wise not to fall short in forecasting and to provide a sufficient contingency expense (if less then, that money already spent on other things.)
Bank Charges and Loans
When you ask anyone how to make money a bank will respond to granting loans, investing in securities … that’s true, but many do not know that the biggest source of profits for banks are the commissions. It can be said that banks and charge fees for absolutely everything.
The committees are established by each institution, in consultation with the Bank of Spain to ensure that meet certain requirements and comply with the law.
Must be necessary, ie to respond to a service and not covered by another product contracted by the client, must be communicated to customers and posted on the bulletin boards of offices, are not abusive (on this should be discussed much) can not be charged for transactions carried out by failure or negligence of the entity can not be cashed in if there are no contracts and can not exceed a fixed amounts (eg 1% cancellation rate mortgages variable).
The commissions that normally apply are: for transferring money, to keep accounts, to withdraw money from cash, to have cards, study and / or create a credit, cancel, for having an overdraft.
Actually, it is difficult to escape them. The only thing we can do is compare the different entities and seek the lowest commission, because although in theory the commissions should have the degree of marketability, consumers often do not find ourselves in a strong position against the entity.

Should I Change My Mortgage Bank?
In recent years, the housing market in Spain has enjoyed spectacular growth, both in terms of houses built and from the sales data from new and existing homes. This large increase was reflected in a large increase in the number of mortgage loans requested and granted. Credit institutions have seen and their profit rates reflected significant growth.
But with the slowdown in sales due to economic uncertainty, the high housing prices and the oversupply of housing, there has also been a decline in the number of mortgage applications.
Banking institutions in order to meet their objectives in terms of volume of loans, are forced to adopt new strategies to attract customers in a market are not as abundant. How? For taking away customers to the competition. If there are no new customers, he will have to convince those already in the mortgage market for transferring their mortgage to our organization: it is what is called subrogation of mortgage.
This war between the entities to grab customers, can be beneficial to the consumer, because the organization must offer more favorable conditions for new mortgages which they had before. On the one hand, some banks offer commission-free mortgages (cancellation, subrogation, etc..).
More advantageous interest including financial compensation that may be a percentage of total mortgage (1% – 2%) or a fixed amount (about 600 €). They also tend to offer the possibility of extending the repayment periods up to 35 or 40 years so that the monthly fees are lower.
Business Plan Format – Six Steps to A Great Business Plan
A systematic evaluation of all factors essential to the purposes and objectives of your business. Here are some suggested topics you can tailor your plan:
* Vision Statement: It is a concise outline of the aims and objectives of your business.
* People: undoubtedly, the most important ingredient for success is yourself. Focus on how your previous experience will be applied to your new business. Develop a resume of yourself and each person involved in starting the business. Be factual and avoid hype.
This part of your business plan will be read very carefully by those who will interact with you, including lenders, investors and suppliers. Templates for preparing resumes are available in your library, Kinko’s, bookstores and the Internet under “resumes.”
However, it can pretend to be someone who is not. If you lack the ability to perform a key function, include this information in its business plan. For example, if you lack the ability to train staff, explain how to compensate for this deficiency. You can add a partner to your plan (discussed in Section 4) or plan to hire key people who possess the skills you do not have. Include biographies of all potential managers.
* Your business profile: Define and describe the business you have in mind and how it intends to do exactly. Try to stay focused on the specialized market you intend to serve.
6 Tips for A Successful Business
Check if your plan includes the following necessary factors that give rise to a successful business.
* A sound business concept. The most common mistake that entrepreneurs make is not picking the right business to start. The best way to learn about your prospective business is to work for someone else in that business before beginning your own. Can be a huge difference between his concept of a fine business and reality.
* Understand your market. A good way to verify that the market is known as a test market your product or service before starting. Think you have a large kite that will capture the imagination of kite fliers in the world? Then, make some of them first hand and try to sell them.
* Industry strong, growing and stable. Remember that some of the greatest inventions of all time, like airplanes and cars, did not result in economic benefit to many who tried to exploit these great advances. For example, the cumulative earnings of all airlines since Wilber Wright flew that first plane are less than zero (the Airline losses have been greater than their profits). Success comes to those who find businesses with great economics and not necessarily great inventions or advances to mankind.
Apartment Investment Benefits
Do you plan to open an estate? It’s almost more profitable to buy an apartment
Today almost is more profitable to launch and maintain a business to sell or rent properties to buy one. The initial investment to create an estate does not usually move from the 60,000 euros, which can be recovered within five years.
To meet these deadlines is required an annual return of between 20 and 50 percent while real estate agents say the seasonality of the business income does vary according to season and location of the property on the map.
Renting a room: 800 euros
The location, preferably to rent, you must have an average area of 70 square meters plus a showcase of “at least two square meters,” explains Julio Pradera, a member of real estate group’s expansion Perfect Floor. Spending will be the first to list on the list and remember that it is permanent throughout the life of the business. Some 800 euros a month is the approximate cost but varies according to the city in which it decides to make the agency and the types of properties that interest you.
For example, if you have decided that industrial buildings are your product, your business will have better reception on the outskirts of town in the midst of the city, whose public demand for more local stories and urban.
