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...

The law of social heredity

It is hardly sufficient to say that social heredity is the method through which humans gather all knowledge that reaches us through the five senses. It is more to the point to say how social heredity works, in as many different applications as will give you a comprehensive understanding of that law. you are fortunate if you have learned the difference between temporary defeat and failure, more fortunate still, if  you have learned the truth that the very seed of success is dormant in every defeat that you experience. It is well known fact that a fox will prey upon all manner of fowl and small animals, with the exception of skunk. No reason need to be stated as to why Mr. Skunk enjoys immunity. A fox may tackle a skunk once, but never twice! for this reason a skunk hide, when nailed to a chicken roost, will keep all but the very young and inexperienced foxes at a safe distance. The odor of a skunk, once experienced, is never to be forgotten. No other smell even remotely resem...
