A recent article in the Las Vegas Review-Journal shows that most teenagers are financially illiterate. On average, most high school seniors “could correctly answer barely half of the questions on a test about personal finance and economics.” They were also oblivious to the dangers of government spending and the concept of having to pay for the retirement of others through Social Security.

It wasn’t a matter of demographics. “From the richest families to the poorest, most parents aren’t talking to their children about money.”

I really liked how Mary Hunt, author of a book by the same title, defined “debt-proof living”. This concept touches on so many virtues:
The Sicilian dvd
Debt-proof living is a lifestyle where you spend less than you earn; you give, save, and invest confidently and consistently; your financial decisions are purposeful; you turn away from compulsive behavior; you shun unsecured debt; you borrow cautiously; you anticipate the unexpected; you scrutinize your purchases; and you reach for your goals by following a specific plan.
Debt-proof living is about generosity, gratitude, and obedience. It is about sound choices and effective decisions. To debt-proof your life means to know exactly what to do with your money and have the freedom to earn and spend it when and how you choose. Debt-proof living is a way of life — a financially disciplined lifestyle that produces peace and joy.

I’m fascinated by a new company called Prosper that recently sprung up. It is an online market for lending and borrowing money — sort of an eBay for financing. For instance, a borrower could post a request for $8,000 at 8% to purchase a new car. A lender might find and accept that offer, in which case the lender’s money goes directly to the borrower. Prosper takes care of running credit checks on the borrowers, intermediating the transfer of money, and skims off 1% as a fee.

Indecent Proposal movie Three Days of the Condor move As you might expect, the potential for good here is enormous. Since banks charge high interest rates to borrowers and offer very low interest rates to savers, Prosper’s smaller margins could mean real savings (and earnings) for borrowers and lenders.

Does using financial management software make you wealthier? Does budgeting eliminate debt? The answer is no, of course not. These are just tools that help you track where your money comes from and where it goes. Software and budgets only help you become wealthier as they change your behavior. Using those tools alone will do nothing if they don’t provide an incentive for you to improve your financial habits.

The financial tools we use should enhance our lives, not drain our time and create more clutter. Finance software should be really good at one thing – providing an incentive to increase wealth. (Is there really any other reason we’d spend so much time scrutinizing our finances?) In regards to the time we devote to our finances, we should waste less time trying to understand all the “bells and whistles” of our finance software and more time thinking about how to spend less and invest more of our money.

Scott Berkun, a project management and product design consultant, writes about the importance of being frugal; not with money, but with our attention. He explains in his essay, Attention and Sex, that we determine the value of something by deciding how much attention we devote to it.

I feel this if very applicable to personal finance, entrepreneurship, or anything we wish to improve or succeed at. If financial independence is a high priority, are we devoting enough of our attention to our finances so that goal becomes a reality? We can ask that question about any ambition we have to determine if it is really valuable to us.

Learning to focus my attention on the worthwhile will bring me the success I seek. In our day and age of mult-tasking, we divide our attention over many trivial things, and focus less on the things that will bring satisfaction and meaning.

This year marks the 300th birthday of United States Founding Father Ben Franklin, who was born on January 17, 1706. A printer, statesman, and inventor, he was famous among other things for sayings such as “Time is money” and “A penny saved is twopence clear” (“A penny saved is a penny earned”).

When the cities cashed out the investment in 1990, each sum was worth more than $7 million, a testament to the power of compound interest. (These investments weathered the Great Depression!)

The Poker House full movie entitled “How do YOU budget?”
Love & Sex dvdrip National Geographic: Last Voyage of the Andrea Doria trailer I wasn’t sure how to answer that question. What does the word “budget” mean? I think for most people it means pre-determining how much money can be spent on each expense category per month; for example, $100 for food, $30 for entertainment, $75 for gas, etc. This type of budgeting is often compared to losing weight by dieting because, like dieting, it’s tedious and requires a lot of motivation to stick to it. It seems to focus too much on the “means” rather than the “end”, and that’s not satisfying. This is not the way I budget.
The Digby Biggest Dog in the World movie download Magnifique, Le full movie Another way to budget – the way I prefer – is to compare all your monthly expenses (out-goes) to your monthly income (in-goes) with the goal of being cash flow positive each month. This type of budgeting seems to be more effective because it eliminates the tedium of budgeting for each specific category. To stay consistent with the “losing-weight” comparison earlier, I would compare this second type of budgeting to playing sports as a way to lose weight and become healthier. Unlike dieting, playing a sport is enjoyable to most people, but can still achieve the same result (weight loss). The out-goes vs. in-goes method of budgeting, like sports, focuses mostly on the end result – win or lose. To simply see each month if I’ve won (out-goes < in-goes) or lost (out-goes > in-goes) is much more motivating and easier to stick to than the first method. Budgeting for each individual expense category becomes unnecessary because the motivation to “win” encourages me to manage all my finances responsibly.
