While there is no such thing as easy forex trading strategies, the forex news site recommends traders to continue purchasing the greenback while the current trend continues.

Avoiding Finance Stress: Smart Debt Avoiding Strategies to Consider

August 31, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

Why is it so difficult to earn money, but so easy to spend it all? Cleaning out your wallet could take seconds, and paying the price for doing so could take decades. Debts eventually take their toll on any individual, and it affects his or her physical, mental and emotional health. Therefore, would it make any sense to say debt equals death? If this is true, then the key to a longer, stress-free life is debt avoidance. Here are some practical but wise tricks on how to avoid drowning in debt.

Take budgeting seriously. Do not rely on mental ability to think about where to put your money. Sit down and create a spreadsheet, organizing the money that your have on hand versus the things you need to pay for and buy, versus the savings you can get. The most challenging part of budgeting is not creating it, but sticking to it.

Take your charge cards out of your wallet. The thicker your wallet is with charge and credit cards, the more lax you will be when spending. Always go for cash when making small purchases, and reserve your credit card for major purchases and online transactions.

Save up for the rainy days. Allot a percentage of your money for any unforeseen event or crisis, such as a sudden hospitalization, penalties, fees or emergency expenditures. Most of financial problems and debts begin with an unexpected need to spend. An emergency fund is always critical.

Leave your impulse. A nice piece of clothing, or food that looks delicious can easily tempt you, but knowing your wants versus your needs easily helps you identify what you can afford to spend on, and what you should be content just looking at and not purchasing. If you are unsure about a product, leave it, and think about it for a week. You may not even feel like buying it after the week has passed.

Take advantage of sales and thrift deals. Buying two for the price of one, getting a freebie for a purchase and other thrift deals can save you pennies, and summing up these pennies can eventually allow you to save more than what you had expected to.

Using a merchant services provider

Even in the advanced stage of online purchasing that we find ourselves in, many vendors do not realize the potential of a merchant services provider. Most choose the other method that is available to them and a foolhardy few stick to doing things by themselves.

What most small businesses don’t realize is that spending on merchant services is not really an expense but an investment of sorts. The dividends reaped due to these services tend to be huge and paying a small amount for this is not a bad thing in the long run. The ability to have an internet credit card processing system allows a small business to be in business 24/7 and capture a lot of global sales.

When a total merchant service provider is engaged, the benefits are many. The most beneficial feature is that a variety of payment methods can be used. Obviously credit cards are one of them, but other than that debit cards, gift cards and several other types of payments can also be accepted. Having this acceptance of varied payment method can only increase a business’s revenue.

Another beneficial feature is the ability to accept payments while being mobile. This allows a business to focus on promoting their products on the road. This not only creates awareness of the product in areas where internet penetration or usage is low, it also creates a new revenue stream.

All in all, a merchant services provider is very useful to a business if it wants to be aggressive and go after revenue.

This important if you are a beginner as you may not know most of the techniques that need to be used in trading. If the service also offers good educational material on forex trading, it can considered a good bonus. The online website of finexo is a good example of all the above features.
