Credit Cards, A liqueur or poison?

Posted on : 03-12-2009 | By : Simon | In : Business, Credit Cards, Financial Reviews, Insurance, Loans, Personal Finance, Real Estate, Saving Bonds

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.

Personal Finance Tips. get the fruit after retirement.

Posted on : 12-11-2009 | By : Simon | In : Personal Finance, Real Estate, Tax

Are you going to be retired from your current job in the next couple of years? This is the time to take a wise decision about making your future more secure, probably most of the people face bad experience while doing personal finance before or after the retirement. This is because of their lack of knowledge & misses guidance that they get from different people who have no in-depth knowledge about the best personal finance available in the market..Make your future secure, remember your best personal finance adviser is your own predictions about your future expenses, so start your savings accordingly. I always recommend in having saving during your job.

Yes! you can also start some currency trading business after your retirement, this is one of the most profitable industry these days due to the fluctuation in the value of different currencies.

Choose the tax free retirement saving plans as it will be a hassle to face deferred taxes after the retirement, this is the best option indeed. Yes! I am not always a big fan of personal finance scams by banks that attract customers in a short term but that is a hassle to go with in long run. I will recommend you to make your savings in the form of provident fund managed & administered through your company/employer accounts.
