How to handle money in order not to live from paycheck to paycheck

Do not get into debt

There are a lot of temptations in life. Each time, seven times, think whether to take another loan. The correct answer is "Do not take!". Do not buy what you cannot afford. To do this, you need to develop certain control and containment skills. When you put personal finances under control, you will have a very nice bonus - to make expensive purchases without loans. At the expense of own funds. Not a bad incentive, right?
Save money

“Putting aside money is a compromise. You take a little bit away from your today to improve your tomorrow, ”- Bodo Schäfer.

You need to learn to "pay yourself." That is, to fix a certain part of the monthly cash income in personal "stabilization funds" or with the help of good habits:

1. Personal pension fund. Long-term deposit with capitalization of interest. Here we allocate 5-7% of monthly income. In the future, you will be very grateful to yourself, 20 years ago who made the decision to postpone a comfortable old age.

2. Personal insurance fund. This is your fund for various contingencies. We allocate 10-15% of monthly income to it.

3. The habit of “purse of greatness” or “piggy bank”. The principle of use is as follows:

    every time you need to pay someone, 10% of the money is taken from the amount necessary to pay;
    put them back in the purse of greatness.

For example, you need to pay 400 conventional units of money. This means that in the main wallet there should be 440, of which you first take 40 and transfer them to your "wallet of greatness" with the words: "I'm rich! I am strong! I can!". Supporting and praising yourself is crucial. We must like habits.

But what if there are only 400 conventional units of money? Either postpone 40 and make a purchase for 360, if possible, or do not buy.
Create additional sources of income

Another very important rule of money is to create assets. Assets in this sense are sources of constant passive income. The more such sources you have, the greater the cash flow they will generate.

The most common asset options:

    Stocks.
    Bonds.
    The property.
    Patents, copyrights, intellectual property.
    Web sites and blogs. Not necessarily popular.
    Promoted publics on social networks.

Count your money

Money loves counting. You need to learn to count all your personal or family income and expenses. If you want to take control of your finances and create the conditions for a continuous increase in wealth, you will have to do it.

Wages (and incomes in general) are less manageable than our expenses. Post income and expenses daily. Analyze and optimize expense items. It is possible to conduct such bookkeeping in Excel. But there are many programs and mobile applications to automate this process. As a conclusion, after optimization, you should start making a budget and stick to it clearly.

The main and only rule is to spend money wisely. Do not succumb to the insidious temptations to buy a useless thing, fight with laziness and do not miss the best offers. With this approach, you do not have to rummage through the pockets of a winter jacket, hoping to find 50 hryvnias. Although it is always nice!
Clean up negative financial settings

A large number of incorrect negative attitudes connected with money, as well as habits programming for poverty, can be sewn into your head. They can be caused by education, traits of your character, negative personal experience.

Your goal is to consciously replace them with positive, positive ones. It's simple - to make money love you, you need to love it. This is also the rule of money!
Do not skimp on insurance

Everything happens in life: houses burn, there are accidents, etc. Do not waste time, insure yourself against the main risks.

Looking for a job? Make a "selling" story about yourself

Interview with a recruiter in the form of a confidential conversation. What is the danger?

Why recruiters like to conduct behavioral interviews Behavioral interviews or interviews on competencies have been popular since the 70s of the last century. He is especially fond of competent recruiters, because this method allows you to carefully analyze the candidate according to his competencies and behavior. During such an interview, the recruiter finds out:     Does the candidate for the position possess the necessary qualities and competencies;     how the candidate behaved in certain situations at work or in life in the past. And since human behavior changes very slowly over time and is difficult to correct, the same behavior can be expected in the future. Common Behavioral Interview Questions The questions in the interviews on competencies are mostly open and focused on the candidates providing specific examples of behavior in a given situation. Often they come down to “How did when ...?” Or “How would I do if ..?”, And in the answer the recruiter can dig into specifi
