What are some advantages?
The first advantage that we notice is that mutual funds allow people without enough capital to invest it. It’s like collecting money from all your close relatives and with this power to invest in something that leaves them all a 10% interest a year instead of leaving only 2% if all invest their own. With mutual funds you can be part of a better (or worse, remember that everything in the world of stocks is risky) investment to be able to pay a fund manager rather than investing it yourself.
You have the advantage of diversifying your investments by mutual funds allow you can invest in many companies, hoping that if one goes bankrupt, the other to compensate for the damage. By not having your eggs in one basket (sorry, I did not come to mind the expression in Spanish) have a lower chance that they all break at the same time. This also helps your investment is something simple, you need not worry to know what percentage have to invest in Microsoft and another from Apple. Just buy a mutual fund that invests in technology and the manager will see that you have paid off.
Not everything is pink …. Some disadvantages.
Like most mutual funds investment at risk to lose money. Last year my mutual fund decreased by 40% due to the economic crisis, but for my retirement date that is only going to be a stumbling block, but not the end. Mutual funds are managed by professionals and experts, but this does not mean that you will only see profit. Market speculation that these people make are just that, speculation.
Another disadvantage of mutual fund is that although you do not sell your shares, mutual fund manager can buy and sell stocks for the fund to have a better profit. When this happens the government (in this case the IRS) may charge for these capital gains a percentage of them.
One of the investment products that most people are using mutual funds. In very few words, mutual funds are used to make a single investment in a diversified portfolio in which the risk of losing your money is minimized (hence the make lots of money too). The purpose of the mutual fund is not becoming a millionaire, but to have a steady growth of your investments over time. Other mutual funds that may represent an industry, a stock exchange (such as SP500, DOW or NASDAQ) or a personal affiliation (mutual funds green, which only invest in the environment).
A mutual fund is a conglomerate of investors who decide that their money is managed professionally. As can be hundreds or thousands of investors in the fund, the cost of the corridor is cheaper per head. These funds are managed by the company and invested in accordance with the goals of the fund (investing aggressive, conservative, pharmaceuticals, etc.). The fund manager is responsible to take decisions which to invest. If the fund is actively managed this means that the team that is managing the fund always try to get benefits to the market. There are other funds that are passive, they are just trying to invest in the stock indices to only win if the whole market does.

Several years ago with my father to take the initiative to open our own business. It’s been several years and can count on this revenue source to help us meet our financial goals. Although I had then a degree in business administration and knowledge of the theoretical steps to take to start the business, the time to decide the most important thing for me was the determination and dedication that has made him a success.
We still have many things to improve, but I want to share things that I consider essential to do so. The business has had its ups and downs, but every day we learn something new and that is important.
Here is a list of tips that everyone, no matter the business, you can take:
Organization
I do not know how to say this easier. The most notable problem I’ve had in my business is that at first we were all excited by the business, but we forget to have a plan of organization. At first you’ll have many heads, have to be an accountant, secretary, messenger, collector, publisher, etc. All areas are important and all need to have a development plan. You have to know how to take the minutes of meetings, regardless of where the money is being spent, who should meet, etc.. For this you need several tools:
- A bank account for business. You can go to any bank and open a business account to your name. In the United States each person is a business.
- A system of how to record the output and input of money (Excel is sufficient.) This will help you know where your money goes and where it goes.
- An agenda to find things to do, who is going to do and the next steps to take. Arrive late or miss a business meeting can cost thousands of dollars.
- A file cabinet to store important documents, but even if your business has to do with confidential information of your customers.
- A tracking system to customers.
For many of us it is very difficult to save, either through lack of money for expenses that we have at home or by the need to buy all the things we like. Something we must always keep in mind: “The basis of all wealth is saving.” You have to save for emergencies, for retirement, to buy a house, etc.. … It is as you’re winning that matters, but how much you spend. We are used to living paycheck to paycheck.
We have an anxiety that makes us burn our pockets or bank accounts until there is a penny in it feel the need to spend. And this is not only blame us, nor we are not passing through part of the standard, but because the world economy is based on that, in consumerism, but they do not consume, or at least save, they those who stay up.
Spend less than you earn
It is important to know to live below our means. There will always be bills and receipts, and will be easier for us to spend than save, but if we have to save a percentage of our wages each payment date, learn to adapt to live without that income and only spend what we have. As if our salary decrease for lack of work, eventually spend less than what we have. If we continue spending the same amount that our revenues, we always get used to spend our salary no matter if they are $ 30,000 per year or $ 300,000 if they are, always find a cost.
It is not how much to save what matters, but it saves.
We must focus not save a high or very ambitious, but an amount that allows us to save that much religiously every week (fortnights, months, etc). One way to make this happen is to make a personal budget that includes saving as a priority, such as rent or the mortgage on your home.
The ideal amount to save is 10% of everything you earn, as they say many finance books , but you can start with 5%. The key is to save time.
We mentioned earlier that the savings are essential for any family’s financial growth. The savings, however, constitutes a battle against a skill that developed naturally over the spending. The saving is not something we can do the overnight, but it is something that can be achieved, no matter how difficult it is present. Here are some tips that may help save a little more, while continuing to spend, but in moderation:
- One of the first barriers that we put the savings is the fact that we did not win enough to do so. In doing so we do not understand that we are putting a barrier to a future of wealth and abundance. Usually, people who can not save when you earn $ 20,000 a year, can not save when you win 40 000. The reason for this is the saying that “the more we earn, we spend more.” One solution to this problem start saving a small amount, for example ten dollars per check, and increase the amount when you get a promotion, raise or earn more income. What is more money: $ 10 per week or $ 500 a year?
- We have a budget for how much we spend. Many people spend more than they produce and spend everything they produce. In order to save should spend less than our income. The best way to do this is by establishing a spending plan that allows us to spend all we have, after having saved a percentage of our income. Ideally it would be 10%, but start with 5% or 3%. Remember that what matters is not how much you save, if not how often. Create a personal budget (income minus expenses) and start watching your savings bloom.
- By saving sacrifice a certain amount of money we spend on something else. But in reality, that sacrifice is to help us buy our dream house, education of our children, high definition flat screen TV, the vacation of your dreams, etc. When you think how hard it is to save, think of the immense satisfaction to be able to achieve your financial goals.
Should, in your mind, make your business a reality by defining all the aspects they may have. Although the process of making a business plan automatically goes through your mind, the problem comes because we do a good job of putting it in writing. A business plan is also essential to obtain a loan for a small company, but at least desbeberías put in writing:
- The product / service you’re offering.
- Who are you going to offer product / service.
- Where will the facility.
- The types of licenses and registrations you have to get (if applicable).
- Where will the money go for business.
- How are you going to promote the business.
- Someone offer this product / service. If the answer is yes they can be your competitors or could guide you on
- things that were challenging to open the business.
- How many employees need and how you will carry the payroll.
- Try to visualize your business (high and low) in operation for several years.
