Simple Finance Lessons

These are simple and interesting stories and lessons from the world of finance. Some are from my own experiences and some are things learnt from others. Students of finance and young adults unfortunately learn certain things the hard way. What I am trying to do is to bring forth some thoughts that we should all be aware off. Even people with more than 20 years of finance experience make silly mistakes for a variety of reasons, and this ends up costing them time and money, along with frustrations. But by then its too late! You need to act at the outset, not after the die is cast.

You must start learning about the Stock Market

If you are not aware of the potential possibilities of investing in the stock market then you really are missing out. And with the current interest rates so low, you will receive very little on your traditional bank deposits and savings account, and so you do need to find alternatives where you can start placing some of your cash to enhance your returns.  So, you must teach yourself at least the basics of how to invest in the stock market.

Shopping Malls are designed for impulse and unplanned spending

Remember that shopping malls are designed and structured the way they are to specifically entice you and me to buy things that we didn’t plan to buy …………… and to spend money that we didn’t intend to spend when we entered the mall. The problem is not our planned expenses …………. the problem is the UNPLANNED and the impulse spending that we all do at the malls.

Knowing how to get out of an investment is important

Making an investment is relatively easy and the bankers and other financial advisors will make this easy for you, because they want you to invest your money with them.  But before you make any investment, make sure you know how to get out of that investment and are very clear what is required in case you want to liquidate and encash your investment.   Sometimes that is more important than making the invsement.
