Simple Money Management

Posted in finances, Habits, howtogetoutofdebt, Investing, personal finance, Saving

Every good business and rich individual knows how to do one thing very well. Successful people probably don’t touch on this topic a lot, but the route of financial success is simply good money management skills. Managing your money can be difficult at times, but although it’s difficult it can be simple too.

This post is going to be dedicated in showing you simple ways to manage your money, so that you can have the keys for success.

PAY YOURSELF

I know a lot of influencers talk about paying yourself but they don’t particularly share how they pay themselves.

these are the ways I pay myself weekly and sometimes monthly:

• my 401(k) plan

• buying stocks

• other investments.

Essentially I take whatever is left in my savings accounts and use it to do one of these three things. Now since my 401K is already taken out of my paycheck, I really just use my savings for the other two.

SYSTEMS

I know a lot of peoples method or system when it comes to their personal finances, is to simply cash the check and stuff it in a box. Cashing your check is the worst method or system you can use, as Grant Cardone says “cash is trash.”

This is true because it doesn’t pay to have cash, it pays to have assets.

My personal method or system for handling money, is to deposit everything I make into my savings account. All I do is deposit and transfer for bills, that way after paying my bills I’m able to see what’s left for possible investments.

You don’t have to use this method, all I’m saying is that this works for me so you should try it and see if this system works for you. You can create any method or system for yourself as long as your know how you spend money.

These are just a few concepts I use I hope this helps you when it comes to your personal finances. Like I said from the beginning managing money can be difficult but also simple, so I hope these concepts were simple enough for you.

Goals For your Money

Posted in finances, Habits, howtogetoutofdebt, Investing, Money, passive income, personal finance, Saving, Uncategorized

Many people create goals they want to accomplish at the beginning of each year. Some people accomplish these goals, others forget about the goals that they have set for themselves. The most successful people break down their goals into realistic task and give a time frame for the goal to be completed. If your new year resolution was to make more money this year, then you clicked on the best post for you.

In this post we’re going to break down your goal into making more money into realistic task but first lets be clear about the time frame. We want to complete this goal before the next year, so lets make this a 10 month goal.

TASK NUMBER 1

What are you passionate about and why? When you figure out what you are passionate about you will be willing to work more hours during the day. When you figure out why you are passionate about something it prevents you from getting burnt out or tired, and if you do get tired then its not a big enough “why.”

You don’t have to think too hard to realize what your passionate about because chances are you want to change peoples lives. So all you have to do is figure out what part of peoples lives you want to change. For example, I want to change the way people operate their personal finances so they can have financial freedom. The reason why I want to do this is because 80% of America is in debt and 55% of that debt is in credit cards.

So now that you know you want to impact peoples lives, and what part of their lives you want to impact, figure out how your going to impact them. Is it going to be through books, seminars, music, or a podcast.

TASK NUMBER 2

Supercharge your learning, when you find out what service your going to do, you need to learn more about the service (do not sell yourself short when it comes to the price of your service and do not overprice it.) You need to have a strategic method of learning too, so when you find the service you want to provide ask questions like how? Where? Why? and Who? Then learn the answers to each question. Start with the basics learn how to find the right people to partner with to eventually form a business, you need marketing, accounting, and specialist in the field.

TASK NUMBER 3

What ever money you have now, chances are your going to need more. So find things to flip, sell, or invest in that will give you enough cushion to start your business. I didn’t say it will be easy, but it is doable. Simple ideas to flip would be cars, shoes, or furniture.

I hope you enjoyed reading this post and I also hope it inspired you.

     Not many people have the opportunity to sit down and plan out what to do with there finances and how their going to invest. I find one of the most rewarding things in life is to be proactive with the time. Everyone knows there is only 24 hours in a day and 60 minutes in a hour. Take it a bit further and there is 168 hours in a week and 10,080Mobile status 2.jpg minutes in a week. The average person works 40 hour weeks, which means their left with 128 hours. I am not going to tell your how to manage your time this isn’t what this post is about. What I am trying to tell you is that you can manage your investments with only 3 hours per week, and still make money to build a future.

     Earning a lot of money is not the key to prosperity. How you handle it is.

Quoted by: Dave Ramsey 

Dave Ramsey is one of the most biggest authors for financial growth and debt recovery. His net worth is $200 million. Dave is also a great businessman who has a website and a channel on YouTube Dedicated to help individuals get out of debt.

So the ways that help you with your finances on the go that hardly take up any time are:

  • Mint
  • Lending Club
  • M1 Finance

 

Mint is an application you can get on your phone for free and it helps you see where your money is going. Mint helps you save and gives you notification regarding your spending. I personally use this app and I find it to be helpful. In the app it even shows passive ways to invest, and even shows you credit cards that give you the highest rewards.

Lending Club is a peer to peer lending application that you can download. They offer 3-8% back in interest per year. The minimum needed to start investing with this company is only $1000. Lending Club shows you everything you need to know about the person your want to invest in, also gives you an option for risk. The higher the risk, the higher the percent.

M1 Finances is an online investing app that takes $0 to start and no cost or fees on your first trade. I heard about this site from my favorite financial planner Jeff Rose. They also have automated investing that allows you to be the passive investor you want to be. They also let you pick stocks that you know and want to invest in. M1 finance is also “TAX FREINDLY” which means you don’t have to pay taxes on your earnings.
