Four Things To Plan For Retirement

Your Financial Action Plan

Four Things To Plan For Retirement:

1.  Shuck off debt. Consider using savings to wipe away most or all  of  the  debt  as  soon  as  possible,  provided  doing  so  won’t leave  you  destitute.  Once  this  is  done,  enjoy  yourself  while keeping an eye on those balances.

Three Types Of Worst Shopping Personality

Your Financial Action Plan: 12 Simple Steps to Achieve Money Success

People who have problems with shopping tend to be one of three personality types—the “Fanatical Shopper,” the “Passive Buyer” and the “Esteem Buyer.”

Fanatical Shoppers drive miles to save a few cents, search for weeks for the lowest price and often buy things they don’t need simply because  they’re  on  sale.  These  people  define  “a  penny  saved,  a  dollar wasted.” They forget how much their time and energy is worth (even at
minimum wage) and beat themselves up over missed savings.

Passive Buyers do not like to shop, so they procrastinate until the eventual purchase costs more, such as delaying brake repairs until the entire brake assembly must be replaced. When they’re finally forced to buy,  Continue reading ‘Three Types Of Worst Shopping Personality’ »
