Money Tips 71 to 80 Explained

Money Tips 71 to 80 Explained (#MoneyTips) Probably past time for the eighth set of 10 money tips to gain an explanation. I have posted my money tips to Twitter (using the hash tag #MoneyTips) and found that some of them were very hard to keep within that magic but annoying 140 character limit (can you tell I started this before twitter changed to allow longer tweets?). So far, I have managed it, however sometimes a little of the meaning seems to get lost, and occasionally I wanted to add a little more explanation. This is where I do it....

Money or Happiness - Signs 3

Do You Choose Money or Happiness

To Money or to Happiness – that is the question. For most people that I know and meet, they would rate their general life happiness – how much they enjoy life – at around 60 to 80%. This is assuming they were being realistic, I do know some would would say 100%, but I have my doubts. However when ask people how they would rate their financial happiness, the answer is often closer to the 25-50% range. Consistently more than half worry more bout finances than general happiness – life, kids, work, movies, dinners out, leisure time etc. When I...

Net Worth Update – June 2018

Half of 2018 down and it is net worth checkup time again. If you are not familiar with net worth, the idea is to calculate how much your possessions are worth if you had to consolidate everything at current value right now. To calculate it, you take everything you own, work out how much it is worth, and add it up. You then subtract from that number anything you owe people (like home loan, car loan etc). That gives you a final number called your net worth. The last 6 months were not quite as good as I had hoped, but...

Given the ASX has moved from around 5310 to 5720 over the six months, it would be a fair guess that the share portion of my holdings did well.
