How can the finances be managed? We have to start from
the written budget. Writing down every penny we spend, it can help us to understand
that how much money is spend and where is it spend? After a month, According to
financial adviser if we are left with even $15 as extra money, we should save
it, this makes a big difference in long term. I started thinking how this can
make a difference? If we do simple calculations, yes it does. If 15 dollars are
saved every month, then after a year it can sum up to $180. This amount can be
used to pay off one month car payment. If we save the same amount for a few
years and once the money will start building up, we can use it for buying a
bond of an investing company of stock exchange. Simple saving by switching to
the habit of making lunch or coffee at home can help us save more, at the end
of the month. Managing finances can be tough however, writing down every
spending can help us. After a month, we can see what kinds of expenses can be cut
down or what alternates can be adopted.

This topic is one that is certainly close to my own heart. And I love it that in your first post you have a citation/works cited entry. I wonder, though. According to which financial adviser? You have some great, practical advice here. Keep it coming--and a way to make this flow academically is to provide "case studies" of different types of people and their finances so readers can make connections.

ReplyDeleteThis is a very relevant topic, particularly in today's economy.I think many people ignore chances to save a little money here and there.
ReplyDeletePerhaps instead of keeping track of every single minor expense, one could just set aside a "petty cash" fund for minor expenses. At the end of the month, the remaining petty cash would be counted to determine the total minor expenses. This would certainly save time. Just a thought.
This actually sort of fits into my own topic, just because financing is so hard for ANYONE to do. I think this should be really interesting once you keep doing your research and finding out more ways to balance money out!
