7 Golden Rules to Financial Prosperity
Not Enough Money?
I believe that most people haven't got enough money for everything they wish to have - the more you have the bigger your plans, and you have a feeling that you have less and less money.
Whether you have lots of money or just so-so, you need to economize and take proper care of your money ie your income, expenditures, savings and investments.
Below I give you 7 Golden Rules to a Financial Prosperity:
1) Always have several streams of income: never rely on one income from one source only.
2) As soon as you start to earn, start to put aside a certain amount to create an automatic money source: I remember I have always had my own portfolio since I was a child, and can tell you that I needed it several times. Even if you have property, you may find yourself in a situation when you need fast cash. In such a situation, you will not sell your property, but you can sell part or even the whole of your portfolio.
You don't need to start your portfolio with thousands of dollars, you can develop it.

Building Wealth by Paying Yourself First
When I look around at all of my friends, and a lot of my family, I see a lot of people living from pay check to pay check, under monetary stress. These same people watch the Calendar for payday like a hawk. Pay their bills, and then open up the spending flood gates, before they know it, they are itching for their next pay check. These same people are the people who don't think they make enough money to build future wealth. They are wrong.
The way I save money, is by paying myself first. I have automatic deductions come out of my bank account on the 15th and 30th of every month, which I put directly into a mutual fund for safe keeping. I take a small portion of my pay check, roughly 10% and put it away. This may not seem like much, but over time it adds up.
In addition, with mutual funds you will have the benefit of compound interest on your side. You should EASILY be able to achieve 8% interest on average in a good a mutual fund, often times more. That’s $800 a year on $10000!
Once you start, you will be addicted. Watching your funds grow is incredibly addictive and will inspire you to invest a larger percentage as your income rises. If you have debt, put a portion of this percentage towards the debt and a portion into your mutual fund, so you have something positive to reinforce your automatic deductions.
How to Establish Good Credit
It can be surprising how many people don't have a credit history. There are actually quite a few older consumers without a very strong credit history. They may have never had any credit in their names. Many wives find that their credit has always been maintained through their husbands. When they apply for something on their own, they have no history.
Students, young people, newly single women and many older Americans may find that they are in need of a credit history. Or perhaps you have already established credit, but it is less than stellar. What should you do?
You can't get credit if you haven't had credit, but you can't get it without it! Wow. How do you get around that?
There are a few ways. The best way is to simply apply for a small loan or line of credit from your local bank. Make sure that they will report the information to the credit bureau. You can also secure a store credit card. These cards do come with a little higher interest rates than other credit cards, but are a good way to build your credit. You can often only use the card in one or two different stores.
Credit Tips – 7 Ways To Raise Your Credit Score
You won't be able to calculate the effects that a low credit score can cause but you will be able to recognize the damage that it can do your life and to your finances. The good thing about your credit score is that even a small increase in your score can save you thousands of dollars of interest in your home mortgage, car loan, or the rates on your credit cards.
Your credit score is a dynamic number and it will change every time your credit report changes. Even though you may think that this change is insignificant it can have a big impact on your credit rating. If you want to improve your credit score here are some things that you should focus on as per the financial experts:
1. Carefully review your credit report and then take the time to correct any errors. This includes getting rid of information that is bad and inaccurate. This step alone can make a big impact on your credit score.
2. Don’t take old financial advice that tells you to close any credit card accounts you have that are unused or old. You don’t want to raise your debt ratio since this will lower your credit score.
