We are living in an era where buying & selling are taken place mostly on
debit. From big corporations & manufacturers to a final consumer, everyone is engaged in buying goods & services from the money that they don’t actually have, the most frequently used form of this is the increase in the use of credit cards. Well there are both positive & negative aspects of credit cards, so lets discus them one by one.
Buying goods & services on installation is good but not recommended all the time, it is good for the people who need to buy something in emergency & don’t having solid cash, so by this way they can satisfy their demands easily & pay for them little by little in installations in future. Credit card is helpful in this way. Especially in emergency or at time when you don’t have solid cash, another good aspect of credit card is the security; it is certainly no possibility of theft or money loss in it. You can pay for the goods electronically most of the time. Thus it’s a useful form of money which has a zero probability of being stolen.
The worst of credit cards, loans & debit is its psychological effect, People feel ridiculous with it in a long run. A recent survey in United Kingdom reveals that 30% of the people didn’t even pay (or not even able to pay) a single installment after getting a house on loan. So ultimately they suffer from psychological torture. Another bad aspects of the credit cards is their buying policy now, I have seen banks who easily issue credit cards to students & low income people, so how can they pay after lending money from it? So the conclusion is, credit cards are not a bad thing itself but its use or (purpose of use) either makes it good or worse.
The economic recession have made many people to worried about their credit properties. this is obvious in the scenario when business activities slow downs, employments opportunities declines & people find it difficult to cover their incidental expenses, then how it is possible that they will pay the installments of their credit properties. the real estate business suffers a lot due to the economic recession.
Here is a good news for US home buyers, the house of representatives have extended the credit duration for the home buyers. according to the details,The incentive of $8,000 tax for first time home buyers has extended to the April of 2010, this credit term was scheduled to be expired on the 30th of this month. this decision was really appreciated by home buyers in united sate of America as they are the major victim of recession. also the authorities have decided to add a new tier of buyers who have lived in their home for five years but need to purchase another property for their permanent residence. now this is what i believe a great news for the real estate agents & brokers as their business are expected to be mobilized in the coming months.
Renting your home or any other property is a good investment, but if your are aware about the hurdles you might ended with a frustrating experience, when it came to rent your house its is certainly difficult to find a fair party to deal with, with the rapidly increasing criminal activities in most of the of the world, the most important threats is finding a trusted party to deal with.
However if you successful deal with a fair person, things you need to look after is a written contract, The contract should be signed by both the party, the rental prices and terms & conditions should be mention clearly, Secondly it is not recommended to make the contract for more then 36 months. It is good for not making the party any commitments & emotional attachments with the place (& your property) for a long run.
Choosing one bank account for all the matters associated with the daily run of life is a difficult task in most of the cases, usually (people / small business units) maintains multiple accounts for different purposes. They use them separately according to their specific needs. However this is a big task to manage multiple accounts on regular basis BUT here are some ways you can trickle all the accounts smoothly.
However a single bank account can provide you all the facilities you need for your business but yes! There are some limitations (Taxes) that you can avid while maintaining multiple accounts. Things you need to take care about while choosing the bank account depends upon these factors.
1) No Fees on online/ manual transactions
2) 24 hours Online banking facility
3) Branches / coverage
4) Solid, Community & customer care support
While the most important in the above mention is the 24 hours online banking facility, this is the best available way to manage your banks accounts while sitting at your home or office. At last a tip for entrepreneurs, a current account is more worthy if you frequently need cash in liquid form. Don’t go for the saving one. It’s suit with personal financers who have a bunch of surplus money & always look to make their money double in the long run with out practically doing any business.
People are often confused about the attributes of best credit cards, there is a bunch now, a lot of credit cards in the market, so win the hearts with their stunning commercials while other for their attractive offers, however I must say here that always choose the credit card on the basis of below mention qualities.
High acceptance / usage
No hidden/ additional charges
High lending limits
No transaction charges
No monthly/quarterly/annual charges
Lending funds is all about taxes with additional charges & bills, in most of the cases the borrower ended with paying double of what they had lend. So why not going for some other solutions of you are shortage of fund. So why be smart when you can find the solution to your problems with many different ways. First of all you have to look the specific problem for which you need funds. If for example you need funds to expand your business, you need to buy the raw material or need to hire a technical expert for you new tech business. Yes! I don’t know why people always use banks to borrow money, you can get this money by selling your other properties (don’t get disappointed here) you can buy there properties in future once you succeeded in your business.
Another good way of getting zero tax debit is to get the money from your friend, it’s no deal when you have to pay him back next month, by this you can save a lot.
The more world economy grow the more we can expect uncertainty in our life, usually people go for insurance policies without knowing their requirement, this is because they are attracted towards the different advertisement & promotional activities performed by different insurance companies, So always know yourself, your budget & your earning level before going to adopt any insurance policy.
Personally I am against insurance because its an extra burden of expenses on you. If you’re healthy & living in a place where the security & law & order situation is good, you can live an insurance free life easily. But in a situation where you are expecting high level of risk for your property & health, you need to go for an adequate insurance plan immediately.
