Money management is the process of managing money. It includes investment, budgeting, banking and taxes. It is also called investment management.

Money management is a strategic technique employed at making money yield the highest of interest-yielding value for any amount of it spent. Spending money to provide answers to all cravings (regardless of whether they are justifiable or not to be included in budget basket) is a natural human phenomenon. The idea of money management techniques is developed to plummet the amount individual, firm and institutions spends on items that add no significant value to its living standard, long-term portfolios and asset-basins. Warren Buffett, in one of his documentaries, admonished prospective investors to embrace his highly-esteemed “frugality” ideology. This is the basis of every sound money management formulas. The following are powerful techniques that can be employed in making every expense made to be worth it:

1. cutting your budget on social needs
2. avoid any snob-appealing expense
3. always go for the most cost-effective alternative (establishing small quality-variance bench-mark, if any)
4. increase expenses more on interest bearing item than any other thing
5. establish the expected benefits of every desired expense using the canon of plus/minus/nil to standard of living value system.

These techniques are investment-boosting and portfolio-multiplying.

Maybe you or other family members lost their jobs or suffered severe illness. But of course the financial crisis could also be caused by unhealthy spending habits.

The money we have, according to the author, is a partnership between a country and the banking system. The money seen from the physical is only a trade, you change an impression on a paper about something you want, that you want to have a value and that value is reflected in this piece of paper. All speaking in very simple language. But the money never really ours. Then extract the text of the book.

“The money never really belongs to us, as we own eyes and hands, or the car and the house – when we finish paying them. “Our” money is like “our” marriage per se, the agreement involves another person (husband or wife). The modern money is also an agreement between two parties. It is only an asset for us because at the same time is a passive pair someone. ”

I hope that at this point to feel concerned about it. In the next post we’ll see a bit of history of money, but only the fun part, like to really know how banks were established, economic systems and money.

By the way I invite you to become curious and eager to keep the next installment in the following years.

1) Walk through your city and see the banks, especially the older ones. What do you look these big banks? Do not see modern banks, see beyond the size, go directly to their structure and architecture. If you are in Argentina go to the National Bank which I think is on the corner of Avenida Santa Fe 2100. If I remember it was shaped like a “temple.” Perhaps banks have to do with the temples.

You know, really, what is money? Do you know how to create the same?

Surely many may have a vague idea, but will feel really amazed at the complexity of the issue. At the time I also did a little definition or answer to those questions throughout the book I realized it really was a total ignorant about what I thought I knew.

With this last expression I leave a short “snack” on the money, I mentioned the concept of “thought he knew” and there precisely lies one of the main problems of money paradoxical.

The money is “a belief based on another belief” that simple piece of paper or coins is simply a belief on our part that we believe that for others is important. I propose a short exercise to better understand what I just mentioned:

Suppose you because of a plane crash ends up as a castaway in the middle of a desert island. Already for a few days began to despair, is just that even Wilson (friend of the famous ball in Tom Hanks movie “Cast Away) can help. Suddenly the water floating currency in two suitcases that happen to be yours.

A few days ago I wanted to comment on the book I’m reading now, but the times I have been quite complicated. Fortunately and apparently troubled times and have somewhat subsided.

The book that I read today in my free time is called “The Future of Money” and the author of it is Bernard Lietaer. In this post I will talk a little about it and expose details that so far I found extremely interesting, especially the little stories or comments that are in between.

In itself the book had a major effect on me. I remember being in a bookstore looking for something interesting to read and I found it. Usually books qualify for the description of its back and even through a brief introduction, but I must stress that this is the first book from the prologue where I’ve been attracted to keep reading.

Above all it shows in small events as mentioned earlier various crises that have happened in the world and highlights the case of Argentina as one of the pioneers in this series of crises to come.

The book itself says three promises that are really interesting:

1) We understand the true role of money in a clear and simple language that anyone can understand.

2) We may answer questions such as why we have increasingly less time and money? Why are people obsessed with money? Why is increasing the global currency turbulence? Why scarce productive work? Among many others.

3) discover that there is another way to deal with the global economy and where each of us can take part (and we should be) for it.

* 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 »

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.

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%.
