(Read) Grow Your Money – 101 Easy Tips To Plan, Save and Invest

January 13, 2011 By Dexter Chan Leave a Comment

I have just gotten this book written by Jonathan D. Pond and have benefited much from the 101 Personal Finance Tips shared within. Benefited so much so that I wanted to copy the content within and put them down here as my future posts! Oops!

And if you have not read this book yet and you are serious about your Financial Planning in 2011, my suggestion is that you try to grab hold of this book and have a good read over it. Try to apply the tips as well and you can definitely make a significant difference in your Personal Finance this new year!

I will be sharing some of the tips here so that you can appreciate what is being written and decide whether to get this book as your next read. Reading more of such books will definitely help you in your Financial Education.

If you are keen in getting the book, here are some of the links to help you to get the book at a relatively good price:

1. From Amazon.com

2. From BookDepository.co.uk

Here Are Some Of The Personal Finance Tips That I Like From Some Chapters:

Note: I will not be sharing the full content but the digested summary of it just so that you can appreciate.

Chapter 1: Achieving Your Financial Dreams

Idea 3: Getting Rich Is Boring

If you would rather choose a more reliable way to wealth, take the boring route, which involves (you may already be in the midst of this plan):

  1. Eliminating any debt that doesn’t provide long term benefits.
  2. Always maintaining adequate insurance coverage
  3. Finding out ways to reduce your spending
  4. Build up and diversifying your retirement investments. If you have to start small, that’s fine.

These above steps are boring, but if adhere to them, you will end up being the envy of your less-disciplined counterparts. The goal is simple: to eventually have enough money to live on, plus some extra.

Chapter 3: Accumulating Real Wealth

Idea 14: Out, Out, Damned Budget

The purpose of a budget is very simple: to find out where you spend (or, perhaps, squander) your money in order to find places to cut back so that you can begin to save or increase your savings.

If you are time constrained or just budget phobic, here are one of the three ways to shortcut the process:

Platinum Strategy – It’s Not Your Spending That Matters. If you are already saving already, but want to save more, just go for it. The key here is to gradually boost the amount you save.

Chapter 4: Using Debt To Your Advantage

Idea 17: Borrow For Things That Will Appreciate

In our society, you can borrow to acquire just about anything. Here’s the caveat in seven words: Never Borrow To Buy A Depreciating Asset.

Three and a half worthwhile reasons to go into hock.

  1. A Home. You borrow to buy a home, work assiduously to pay off the mortgage, and forever after enjoy owning a mortgage-free domicle.
  2. Education. Education is a great reason to borrow because your return on investment not only is high, but should last for decades.
  3. Sensible Home Improvements. It’s how good the improvement will make the future buyer of your home feel. Worthwhile improvements add substantial value to your home.
  4. Investment Real Estate. Borrowing to invest in real estate can work very well, so long as you avoid overpaying for the property.

This Book Is Not Just For You But Also For Your Family Affairs

The above are just some of the good Personal Finance Tips that I have enjoyed. There are still many more in the later chapters and I will leave it to you to grab hold of this book and find out the rest of the Tips.

I would just like to add that this book is not just sharing tips for you to plan for your own Financial Planning but also with the involvement of your Family as well.

For Example:

  1. Chapter 11: Securing The Future For You And Your Loved Ones
  2. Chapter 12: Making Smart Money Decisions A Family Affair

Therefore, if you are serious about planning for your 2011 and beyond and looking for good resources to help you along, you can always depend on this Financial Education Blog and also this Book!

Have A Good 2011!
