How much should you save?

The question of how much a person should save cannot be answered in a few words, for the amount each should save depends upon many conditions, some of which ma be within one;s control and some of which may not be.

A salaried worker should apportion his or her income about as follows.

Savings Account  20%
Necessities             50%
Education               10%
Recreation             10%
Life insurance       10%
                                      100%

The following, however , indicates the approximate distribution that the average person actually makes of their income.

Savings Account   0%
Necessities            60%
Education               0%
Recreation             35%
Life insurance       5%
                                      100%

Careful analysis of 178 men who are known to be successful disclosed the fact that all had failed many times before arriving.

It is no wonder the rich becoming richer and the poor are becoming poorer!

We are all victims of habit.

If you save nothing, you are absolutely sure never to be financially independent, no matter how much your income may be.

You cannot rely upon such a miracle happens to you.

All sales people will do well to remember that no one wants anything that someone else if trying to get rid of.

Think well before you speak because your words may plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of some other person.

I am thankful for the adversities that have crossed my pathway, for they have taught me tolerance, sympathy, self control, perseverance and some other virtues I might never have known.

Maximizing Your Profits with Scoring

SETTING YOUR MAXIMUM INTRADAY TRADING LOSS First things first: set a max intraday trading loss. There will be days when you just do not have it. Why do you think coaches pull their players when they are not playing well? They are more harmful on the field than off. When you are underperforming, you are hurting your team and your trading business. You need a system to yank yourself over to the bench. A stop loss is your answer. TRADING BASED UPON THE TIME OF DAY A good trader makes note of what time of day it is, when he trades most profitably, and adjusts his trading to fit such times. Your numbers at the end of the month will not reflect your true trading potential. Make the most trades with the most size during the trading periods that statistically are most profitable for you. Money saved during your weaker trading periods is money earned. Consistency The fact is that most trades you make will start working for you right away. But the new traders also hold stocks that are trading ag...

So what is your money blueprint set for?

Are you programmed for managing your money well or mismanaging it? Are you a spender or a saver ? Wealth principle: The only way to permanently change the temperature in the room is to reset the thermostat. In the same way, the only way to change your level of financial success "permanently" is to reset your financial thermostat. You can become an expert in real estate or the stock market. All of these are tremendous "tools." But in the end, without an inner "tool-box" that is big enough and strong enough for you to create and hold on to large amounts of money, all the tools in the world will be useless to you. Your income can grow only to the extent that you do. Remember that the first element of all change is awareness.Watch yourself, become conscious, observe your thoughts, your fears, your beliefs, your habits, your actions, and even your inactions. Put yourself under a microscope. Study yourself. Wealth principle: Consciousness is observin...

Wealth file #1 Rich people believe "I create my life" Poor people believe "Life happens to me."

You have to believe that you are the one who creates your success, that you are the one who creates your mediocrity, and that you are the one creating your struggle around money and success. Consciously or unconsciously, it's still you. Instead of taking responsibility for what's going on in their lives, poor people choose to play the role of the victim . A victim's predominant thought is often "poor me." So presto. by virtue of the law of intention, that's literally what victims get: they get to be "poor." That said how can you tell when people are playing the victim? Victim Clue #1: Blame Victims blame the economy, they blame the government, they blame the stock market, they blame their broker, they blame their type of business, they blame their manager, they blame the head office, they blame their spouse, they blame God and of course they always blame their parents. It's always someone else or something else that is to blame. The probl...
