The power of a notebook
Do you have the skills to manage your finances on your own? Prior to living a happy life, you need to make sure that you have a stable Financial position. In this article, we’ll share essential tips and tricks with regard to the right financial management and how you can make better financial decisions in order to secure your future.

Using a notebook, always check the expenses that you’ve made at the end of each day. List down all the purchases that you’ve made from the big ones to the small ones and carefully review their costs or prices. As soon as you get the total, think of how much you’ve spent and how you can get it back. By doing so, you can create a plan of action and you can also find out which things you really need to be purchasing and which ones you don’t. Compare this list to other previous lists of purchases you have made to track a better and more efficient spending plan.

Take advantage of product insurance
A lot of products provide a warranty wherein in case it breaks or gets damaged during a specific time period, it can be replaced or fixed for free. Extended warranties can also be offered upon request and depending on the product that you are looking to purchase. You can take advantage of these benefits if you ask your seller. Also, you can look up the products online to know if it comes with a warranty.

Work at making borrowing a last resort
While personal loans, quick loans and borrowing money from any source could help you in dealing with your financial problem, it doesn’t provide a permanent solution and it should be considered as the last resort. Borrowing money can lead to interest rates that can make your borrowed amount even much bigger. If this happens, you’ll have difficulties paying it off in the duration of the loan thus making you financially suffer more. When borrowing for a loan, make sure to take only what you can afford.

Being patient when managing your finances will help you save more money. People usually get hyped over new technologies and fashion trends which enable them to spend more unexpectedly. While products and items are definitely more expensive with their introductory prices, they can be much cheaper after a few weeks or months – all you have to do is to be patient and wait.

Become a financial planner
Always be a step ahead of your financial challenges. Know when a financial issue will come and make essential preparations on how to deal with it as quickly as possible. The best way to do this is by marking up your calendar with the specific due dates for any debt or any financial responsibility. As you do this, make sure that the calendar is clearly visible so as to remind you of your Financial Responsibilities. Having a visible goal will motivate you more in managing your finances.

Tips to managing your credit score
While you may be paying off some debts and other financial responsibilities, you will find that your Credit score may get lower. While a substantial decrease in credit may prove to be dangerous to your credit score, the low decrease is still not a bad sign and it is just temporary. If having to lower your credit score would mean having to pay off some persistent debts and interests then it can prove to be a great action to take. Once your debts are paid off, you can then build your credit score little by little.

What can you sell for cash?
If you no longer need your items, equipment, tools, etc, you can always sell them at a convenient price. Find those items and things that you no longer need and/or are already close to being destroyed or deteriorated. Although old or maybe close to its expiration, many people may still pay a good amount of cash for these items. You can set up a garage sale on your property where you can sell your items without having to ask for a selling permit. Or you can post them up online from free ad posting websites.
