Money Management Advice

Avoid unnecessary debt, especially debt that has high interest such as credit cards Pay all debt off as quickly as you can, even if it means taking out an extra mortgage to do so

If you are saving, then make sure you know what is you are saving for A house is always the best thing to save for A car will always depreciate very fast, and vacations are a very quick way to burn savings

If you are saving a portion of your money, such as 10%, then make sure you stick to it If you are budgeting then make sure you stick to that too It is very easy to do, after a while it just becomes habit

If you are looking to build a share portfolio you really should learn something about investing in stocks first It’s not a good idea to just leave it to a stock broker, they do not care about your money as much as you, and they work on commission Choose some companies that you really think are a good investment Do some research into the companies and find out what products they offer Choosing a company just because they have a product that you love can be an investment strategy Alternatively choosing companies that you think have great potential and good future are other reasons

If you want to invest in real estate then to make any decent returns you will need acquire debt in the form of a mortgage This debt is much safer as it is secured with real estate that is bringing in income to cover the interest on the mortgage

It is because real estate is so secure banks will lend you money against it This creates leverage in your investment Banks don’t lend money for you to invest in stocks

Real estate is the preferred investment choice for many people who know little about investing If you don’t have the time to learn how to invest in stocks then this should be your choice of where to allocate your savings
