This is important because the use is expected to take the money, determine the duration of the investment. The level of risk of their investments should be a factor in your time frame and their comfort level.

There is no point to invest in high-risk instruments if the profits, if any, must pagárselas doctors to treat us stress.

Many people, for example, who want to invest in a building, “invest” the initial of the same in the stock market.

The stock market, unless you are a shark of finance and a speculator, not to put money in the short term. As market volatility may make you lose what you got there in no time.

Now if your goal is to have a good economic base in 5 or 10 years, investing in stocks can be good business. Of course this subject is not a post to write a full blog, but from now on we will be talking about it more often.

I hope not to do so boring, complicated and cumbersome.

Overall the idea is to strengthen writing what I’m studying these days, not lecturing on a subject to which I have respect not only him, but of which I am a novice almost complete.

investments The losers are people who do not know how it is handled that world. It’s that simple. Make money and save trouble, so you need to be careful where you spend the fruits of their labor.

Make smart investments need not be complicated. But many investors are caught in the quagmire of the hundreds of options where they can get their money.

Since opening a simple savings account to get into options, all require you to be fully informed of the risks involved.

Higher returns are greater risks. The more ignorance, the greater the risk that we are able to assume.

After talking with an economist friend, told him that I wanted to get my money from the bank and invest it in something to give me better performance, but did not really know where the money was put.

The first question struck me: How much you want to win and in that time? And that’s where learning begins.

Before selecting a specific investment, first determine your needs and investment goals. Why is investing the money, which you will use?

invest Gentlemen, we are making the pants. For months we’ve been talking about saving money, how to be frugal, what things we do to make the money work harder and we have talked about the importance of being an entrepreneur, what are the features that adorn it and how to be better in that case . But we said very little of the stock market and the importance that everyone has, namely investing.

We have not talked in depth about these issues because this is a serious issue that requires not only knowledge but is very delicate because bad information can lead you to mess up and lose money in no time. It’s that simple.

Personally I am a conservative in everything that has to do with investing money, it is not a question of age, as many advisors, have a kind of table where investors categorized according to age.

For such a young person should plunge greater risk than a man of middle age. Nonsense. People take risks depending on how educated you are about to investments where you want to meter.

The more ignorant, the more risky it is. Like everything in life. That has nothing to do with age. If so, then all those investing in the stock market should be beardless and lose less than 30 years.

 leave the lendersOne of the most difficult of career as a financial advisor is when you see people who are unfortunately in a situation which can not escape. Such as drugs, alcoholism, gambling and other vices, borrowing can become a disease in which the individual often can not leave.

Mary, the fictional character of today (but the story is very common) is a single mother of two children who met 16 years ago a lender who charged $ 35 interest for every $ 1,000 borrowed. This loan was seen as easy to pay, and that Mary did not have enough credit to get a bank loan. A lender (loan shark) usually charges an annual interest of more than 150% of debt, more than 10 times what a bank charges.

Mary did not see it that way because you only think you have to pay $ 35 every week, and when can you can pay all the capital. Things did not go as they should and end a loan led to another. The debts to lenders increased to $ 12,000; because access was only to feed their children and where there was a money problem was always there to lend lender.

Now Mary lost her home, everything you earn goes in paying interest and no protection from the government (such as bankruptcy) that can help you stop paying so much interest. She does not have a good credit to borrow money and all banking and helped her family what she could on this issue. Mary can not answer the house phone because it is always one of the lenders, has already thought of doing something drastic to your health and can not find anyone who can help. When Mary told me her story I felt very bad about not be able to help, usually people come to me so I can steer them towards a solution, but this time there is not. The only thing I could recommend that she was the attempt to increase their income with another job (she has two half-time) to use that money strictly to get out of these debts, but work is not really a matter of sound fingers or just wanting to, but could do nothing else for it.

There are many situations in which no one has a favorable response and is very difficult having to tell people this. Sometimes all knowledge of finance is not enough to help a person. In this situation I would like to have more knowledge about how to deal with people who have a problem that does not leave them at home or even breathe.

If you are in this situation I want you to know that you are not the only person in it, and always have faith in a better future. Although adversity is all you have loved ones that you have with you and with whom you can count on, though not monetarily. If you feel like talking to someone, do it, there are times that will help you think about things better and find better solutions. For those who are seeking money from an illegal lender to settle your debts, think twice, there are times that the cure can be worse than that disease.

healthy financesUnconsciously we all know the secrets of having a prosperous financial life: spend less than you earn, save for the future, have no debts, but sometimes these things are easier to say them to them. Although we can not predict our financial future, there are things that could be telling the chronicle of a death foretold.

1. Sporadic little savings or savings.
The rule is to have at least 3 months of your expenses necessary in an emergency fund, as well as for retirement and so on. But this is only a symptom, the problem is if you do not save consistently. No matter what the amount, you should save a percentage of your income religiously.

2. Not having a personal budget.
If you do not know what you spend and spend as you may be spending more than they should or have a notional idea of the reality of your finances. Imagine a pilot in an airplane without a compass, radar or map, you’d be flying, but without any direction. Can you reach your destination by luck, but if you use this tool, the target will be closer.

3. Lack of a plan to achieve your financial goals.
We all have aspirations and dreams, we all have financial goals to meet, but the key is to have a specific definition and plan to continue to perform. If not, this was like throwing darts blindfolded. To achieve your goals, you could use the method idearlas SMART: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Results visible Trackable.
