Jacobs Tips for Teaching Children about
Money |
The
following set of questions and answers is
an interview I recently gave to a children’s
magazine. Although my financial commentary
is normally aimed in a different direction,
the questions were challenging and my answers
seem appropriate for any adult audience.
As you read my responses, you’re invited
to think of the youngsters in your life,
as you consider how you might interact so
to be of help.

Jacobs Tips to Retire Rich Information |
A
fundamental question that every financially
concerned individual must face is this:
Will my money expire before I do? It’s
not a trivial matter, for the prospect of
arriving at advanced age with no assets
was never more accurately expressed than
by character Lamont Sanford in the television
series “Sanford and Son,” when
he exclaimed: “There’s only two
things worse than being poor—it’s
sick and dead.”

Review
of the Economist's Big Mac Index 2007
Big
Mac Index 2007 Review |
The
Economist magazine released their annual
"Big Mac Index" for 2007. It's
their lighthearted look at a subject that
most people find dry and tasteless. I'm
talking about purchasing-power parity or
PPP, not the Big Macs (which may or may
not be tasteless and dry). They look at
world currencies and how fairly valued they
are compared to the currency of different
countries.

Money
is good! In this day and age that we live
in, money is not only good, but absolutely
essential. Besides air, it may be the next
most important thing in life. Of course
health, love, friendship, fitness, faith,
and happiness are all very important too,
but how do we eat, or pay rent, or go to
the doctor without having money?

Develop
a Prosperity Consciousness
Brian
Tracy Prosperity Consciousness Article |
The
starting point of all riches is the development
of a prosperity consciousness. You must
become a financial success in your thinking
long before you achieve it in your reality.
Both poverty and riches are the result of
a state of mind, and the most important
single step you ever take on the road to
wealth and financial independence is the
decision to change your thinking, to impress
into your mind an unshakable belief that
you can and will achieve your financial
goals.

The
Five Most Important Principals for Prosperity
Michael
Levy Principals of Prosperity Article |
Many
years ago, forty to be exact, I started
my own business at the tender age of nineteen.
The street markets in and around Manchester
England was my happy hunting ground. Every
day was an adventure and despite the weather
and difficulties of getting a stall on the
street market, life was always fun and enjoyable.
There was always some comical incident,
even when I had to stand in the pouring
rain, with no customers in sight. And if
there was no amusing event to focus on I
created one and made other people laugh.

the difference? Those inevitable expenses
can put less stress on your bank balance

them and save in advance.

Jacobs Investing + Personal Finance Article |
The
ability to master your money is not something
that just happens. It takes time, training,
and temperament.. Whatever the average citizen
knows about saving and investing did not
come from the classroom. This is understandable,
of course, if only because the typical classroom
teacher is equally mystified by the world
of money. Nonetheless, there are those among
us who have figured out how it all works,
and what it takes to prosper

Jacobs Personal Finance Article |
This
is dedicated to those among us whose wealth
is so abundant that they need advice on
how to dispose of it. In connection with
the guidance I’m about to offer, I
can claim no original inspiration, as the
methods are not novel. I’ll also concede
that many individuals without money to burn
also practice these spendthrift techniques,
though exactly why persons not rolling in
dough behave in such a fashion remains a
mystery

Key Savings Strategies
Cindy
Morus - Personal Finance Article |
The
best investment most borrowers can make
is to pay off consumer debt with double-digit
interest rates. For example, if you have
a $3,000 credit card balance at 19.8%, and
you pay the required minimum balance of
2% of the balance or $15, whichever is greater,
it will take 39 years to pay off the loan.
And you will pay more than $10,000 in interest
charges.
