care of it. There are many ways to have a good financially stable life and I have learned a
few ways to do so. First of all and most important is
4. Budgeting (Ch.2)
Unless you are financially wealthy, budgeting should be your best friend. The three
principles everyone should have in mind are: 1) Spend less than you earn. This is the
recipe for a debt free life. 2) Spend for needs rather than wants. With a low income, it is
extremely important to only spend in what is necessary. This is one of the sacrifices I
mentioned earlier. 3) Save for emergencies, major expenditures, and investments. I want
to add medical expenses. The United States is one of the countries with really expensive
medical procedures. Being so, it is really important to be ready for emergencies. As for
budgeting, it helps to keep track of everything that is going on with your money. It helps
to know how much money you have available, where you need to cut expenses and many
other features that will benefit those who want to get out of financial problems.
ownership of a corporation. In other words, it means that if the value increases, the stock
holders will receive income according to the growth. On the other hand, the stock holder
suffers the risk of losing money if the value decreases but if you invest on stock that
present a constant growth, the chances of losing money may decrease.
9. Diversify (Ch. 3)
When I say diversity, I mean that as an investor, it is better to invest in many different
corporations instead of just in one. Because if the value of the stock goes down and you
only invest in a single stock, the loss will be noticeable. However, if you invest in many
different corporations the chances of losing are reduced because while one value goes
down, the other one can be going up. This may even the values but in the bright side, you
didnt lose money which would be a lot worse.
Credit Capacity in how much you afford to spend I credit per month. Experts say that
we can only afford to spend on credit 15 to 20 percent of our income. To avoid getting
into bigger debt, it is strongly advised to purchase with cash because there are no or
reduced fees in that case. For you to purchase with credit, it is needed to make a few
sacrifices. Otherwise, there are many risks that you might suffer from because of neglect
or by distraction. The importance of running the number goes here. If you run the
numbers, you will see the effect of paying in cash or credit. Unless there isnt interest rate
(which it hardly ever exists). The best option is to avoid it.
the Word of Wisdom to protect us. Having health insurance will help us to take care of us
and also help us to avoid another problem the Lord wants us to avoid: debt. Some people
may think that it is expensive but medical expenses can be a lot worse without insurance
to help cover the expenses. Especially if any member of the family gets hurt or sick.
19. Life Insurance (Ch.8)
Also really important to have. Especially for the person who contributes the most with
the familys income. This life is full of uncertainties so we have to try our best to be
prepared for whatever we may need to face as a challenge. There are many different life
insurance plans and for each individual a certain plan may be good or not. It is important
to consider the familys circumstances and needs to be able to choose the best plan for
you and your family.
20. Car Insurance (Ch.8)
Being cautions on the roads arent the only way to reduce risks. You never know when
you might get into an accident and need the insurance. For this reason, you will definitely
have insurance (if it wasnt mandatory, you should have it anyway). You cant afford any
accidents so you will transfer the responsibility to the insurance company. There are also
many different automobile insurances that can be evaluated for personal needs.
It is a retirement plan that the company that you work for will contribute for. You
should always contribute as well. This plan is what will provide for you when you stop
working. It should be saved or invested so that the value can be enough to sustain you
and your spouse for a few years. You should plan out how you want to live when you
retire and that should determine how much money you need to have, how much you need
to save and how many years you still need to work for. For better results, it is better to
start as soon as possible.
