Navigating Through Tough Times...

No matter what profession you are in, time is certainly tough for us now. People are spending less, the direction of interest rate is uncertain and some are screaming the economy is collapsing.
Hopefully these tips can help you to navigate through this tough period

Financial future

Not just that you are uncertain about your future, your boss will also pressured by his boss. You need to be more effective in your job or help to reduce the company's cost.

If you are afraid that you might lose your job, you should start to think about what you can do in your free time. Can you get some freelance job at your free time?

Search online for freelance job offer. But before you enroll into any of them, check their reputation and remember, no matter what reason, never pay for any fees. They are the one who should be paying you. Not the other way round.

Have you look into the internet? Many have started their business online and are living a financial free lifestyle.

House hold expenses

After saving the company's expenses, you should take a look at your house hold expenses. Is it possible to have more dinner at home or can you bring the family to a local tourist spot instead of oversea?

I know it might be embarrassing to share the financial issue with your kids but now is also a good time to teach your children about financial management. Pretending everything is ok is going to burden you more.

Saving

You can then channel what you have saved to the bank or new investments.

Most of us spend more than we need and I am one of them.

Many actually don't have an emergency fund and now is there is no better time than now to start one yourself. There is no guarantee what will happen in the next 6 months.

Surely you don't want to cut your children education fund for spending. Right?

Insurance

Is your insurance policy still benefiting you? If it is, keep it as it is.

If you have extra money, you should look for chances to some new investments.

I know that the AIG case might shock you and you might think twice about investing in insurance. But it is an exceptional case.

Hope that help to clear some of your frustration. :-)

Create Your Success,
