Practical Ways to Avoid Bankruptcy
April 14th, 20103 Steps to Start Investing with $100
April 1st, 2009
Investment advice is usually geared toward those with thousands, or at least $1,000 to invest, in addition to the standard three-to-six-months salary socked away in a savings account.
Most of us know how important it is to supplement our retirement with additional investment in traditional taxable investment accounts. Simply maxing out your IRA contributions and putting away 6% of your paycheck into the employer’s 401(k) just may not do it, but not everyone has the thousands that most investment advice requires.Here is a plan developed with the ultra-small investor in mind. It takes just $100, every month for a year.
Financial Education As a Part of the Contemporary Life
February 13th, 2009
Modern life dictates us its rules in everyday situations. Things have changed a great deal for the past decades. Scientific breakthroughs and rapid political changes have led to the permutations in the minds of contemporary people. Things that were necessary and important to learn twenty or thirty years ago now have lost their importance. And vice versa – new sciences and occupations appear almost on a weekly basis. Besides, some subjects that were given less importance those days, are considered literally “a must” for a modern life.
One of such new things to be learned by everyone is financial education.
I strongly believe that it was Robert Kiyosaki who first draw the attention of the masses to the importance of this subject by writing his world-famous “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” series of books on cash flow. More and more people are becoming aware nowadays of the importance of the financial education and admit its place and role in their lives. These days everyone of us gets much more bytes of information per second than our parents used to get when they were our age. Due to the modern information flows, the life of modern Americans has changed forever.
Such words as “credit card”, “debt relief”, “debit account” and many more have firmly taken their places in our vocabulary. To be on top of the modern financial system and to get rich one should definitely know how to operate these terms. The more you know the higher your chances to succeed, the more likely you are to win the rat race.
