Money Management

 


  In this article let's talk a little a bit about learning to manage your money. Money management is a tricky subject. It doesn't mean you have to be smart in math or economic financials, they are not really necessary. Every day we make choices about how, where, and when we will spend our money. These choices can have a significant effect on your financial life. To make us wonder, do we spend a lot of mobe on credit card debt each month? Do we save money constantly?

  The pandemic today (COVID-19) causes long-lasting changes to the global economy and how people manage their money. Many normal workers left their jobs while many others embraced a permanent hybrid work schedule. However, some families bought new houses, while others transferred their children to private schools in response to virus outbreaks. All that change means now might be the right time to reevaluate your money situation. So let's take close a look to see how to manage your money.

  Creating a budget. Making a budget is only one part of how to manage money. It clearly shows your income and what we need to spend money on each month. But before creating a budget, it is quite necessary to know your money priorities. We need to focus to align your money goals with your money habits. Try to ask yourself, do you have credit card debt that makes your head spin? Paying that down might be your top priority.

  Give a limit for unbudgeted spending. This is a critical part of your budget is the net income or the amount of money left after we subtract your expenses from your income. If we have any money left over, we can use it for fun and entertainment. Moreover, cut back on your spending. We don't need to make big changes to our lifestyle to save money. Cutting back on the little things we buy can make a big difference. 

  Schedule a spending report regularly. Managing your money is an ongoing process. It helps to schedule regular times throughout the year to evaluate your financial situation, including your income, spending, savings, and net worth. When we make a schedule of spending regularly, it can determine what progress has been made toward financial goals and whether any budget items need to be adjusted for the future. 

  Well, the bottom line. The best way to build financial security is to get a grip on how and where you are spending your income, then make a plan, and finally keep on to it. Of course, sometimes life can throw us off, which is it doesn't matter. As long as you get back on budget, your future financial will success. Thank you for your time and have a nice day 😀.

Leader Vs Boss

    Some people might use the terms "boss" and "leader" interchangeably, but that's not entirely accurate. The truth is, some bosses are simply a boss. They have attained a position in the management section of the corporate pyramid. Those positions alone don't make them leaders. They are just pushing their employers while "sitting down". However, bosses can become leaders, and doing so should become a priority for those who want to effectively lead in the workplace. So, what is the difference between a leader and a boss?   A boss refers to an individual who is in charge of the employee or an organisation. He exercises control over employees, assigns tasks, and duties to them, and is entitled to take decisions on some matters. There is no formal title like "boss" in the organisational chart, but the term indicates a person who is the owner or appointed as head of the organisation, department, or division.   On the other hand, the term lea

About Phubbing

    In the Digital Era, smartphones have become the number one priority in society. When it comes to our smartphones, nothing else in our lives gets as much attention. A single notification can branch to half days only checking the status or short videos on social media. If we lose it, the stress starts to build up rapidly. Getting by without a smartphone really is not possible anymore, and from that other areas of our lives are bound to be affected.   Phubbing describes the act of "phone-snubbing". It is a term that most people might not be familiar with, but the action is certainly one we all recognise. If we are going outside let's say, how often have we been physically in the presence of someone, but they're emotionally "not there" because they are absorbed in their smartphone? Quite a lot, isn't it?   Smartphones and text messaging help partners display love and affection to each other when they are physically apart. However, what happens when smart

Early Birds and Night Owls

  In this world, there are two kinds of people in this world, people who love to hear birds chirping in the morning, and people who wish the birds had a mute button somewhere. Someone likes the sun going up, someone likes the sun drowning to keep the night up. In other words, early birds and night owls. So, which one are you?    Early birds or morning people. They are awake in the morning and love to welcome the new day. Early birds tend to go to bed early, wake up early, and feel their best as the day begins. As a general rule, early birds find a society more accommodating than night owls do. Early birds generally have an easier time adjusting to standard daytime schedules.    On the other hand, night owls or night people tend to stay up late, enjoy sleeping in, have more energy at night, and feel tired after waking up early. Night owls do have a few downsides. They might have a harder time holding a traditional job. Young night owls might have trouble making a fixed school or univers
