How to Make Better Financial Decisions

March 18, 2019 by admin Leave a Comment

Some financial decisions are easy, while others are reallychallenging. Deciding how much you should spend on your lunch is a lot easier than deciding how much to save for retirement, whether you should put money in a pension, or even if you should invest in property. Every day we must decide between spending money or deferring our spend for a reward at a later date. Naturally, weas humans favour the present time, rather than think into the distant future. However, this mindset can distract us from making the right decisions regarding spending, savings and investing.

Financial freedom is the ultimate goal for many, but in order to fully achieve this, you must make sure you make the correct financial decisions throughout life that will stand you in good stead. Developing self-control over your spending is one of the best traits to have as this will make you forgo impulse spending for more rewarding benefits in the future. Building savings, reducing debts and accumulating assets such as properties from RW Invest create the financial support and freedom to make a choice that improves your lifestyle.

Of course, if you are on a lower income, or pay very high living costs, the harder it is to build your savings. However, if it is impossible to cut costs anymore, the only thing that will improve your financial position is to increase your income. This can be done in a number of ways. You can begin to embark on a second job to maximise income, turn to investingin assets like property, stocks and shares, develop your ownpersonal qualities by investing in yourself and gaining extra qualifications.

Retirement for many can seem like a little spot in the distance, and you will constantly convince yourself that you will ‘cross that bridge when you come to it’. However, make better financial decisions today by investing in your future and make it easier in the long run. In order tomake better financial decisions,you need to start by asking yourself a few questions, some of which you may not be able to provide an accurate answer for, but a ballpark figure is sometimes just as good.

How long will you live and how much of that will be in sound health? How much will you earn throughout the rest of your career? What money will you inherit, and if so, what figure and when? What will the economic climate look like into the future? What will happen to the costs of assets like property? These answers are only helpful if they are in your control such as income, spending, and investing. However, there are many factors that arecompletely out of your hands like the economy, inflation and investment returns from the likes of property.

If you begin to make your own financial plan based on sensible rationale and executive decisions it is easier to make smaller corrections, such as changes to spending and investment. It is the discipline and action of constantly reviewing your current financial situation that maximises your financial success.

Hi Friends!
I'm Fern and I have a love for travel, beauty, health and flowers! I went to school for nutrition, but wasn't really interested in being a nutritionist. So, I started to bartend and have since I graduated school a year ago.
I love talking to people, traveling and writing on my blog... and bartending allows me to do the things I love.

I can take off for a month to travel abroad and there will never be any shortage of bartending/serving jobs when I get home. I also love that I can work abroad bartending anywhere I want! So, I hope you enjoy my blog and if you have any questions, feel free to email me! :)
