			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Money-saving tips for married couples.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Most newly-married couples are having a hard time adjusting to a different way of life, especially when it comes to financial matters.  As separate individuals, your spending habits will differ. This is why you both need to make certain adjustments to combine the household budget.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here are some ways on how you and your partner can make the ‘financial aspect’ of your marriage harmonious and organized:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>1.	Understand the way that you both look at money. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you and your spouse have different beliefs when it comes to money matters,  sit down and discuss it. The key here is to be able to compromise. For some people, money is a security measure that needs to be saved. Other people spend it luxuriously and look at spending money as a means to reward themselves for their work. Still, other people are very thrifty that they hardly ever spend a cent of what they have earned.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Understand that the way that you both treat and spend money stems from how you were brought up by your parents. Think of everything that you need to discuss when it comes to your household budget. If possible, set rules on how you will spend your combined income on utility bills, food, mortgage, car maintenance, etc.</p>
<p><span id="more-134"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>2. Set future financial goals. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you are newly weds and you are planning to have a baby soon, consider this when organizing your finances. If you are a couple nearing the age of retirement, you can make plans on where you will spend your leisure years. Setting long-term and short-term goals will help you finalize your financial plans.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>3.	Share your money-saving skills with your partner. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you have different family backgrounds, then you would have something to contribute towards organizing your joints assets. Make each other aware of your personal finances then think of ways on how you can further boost your money-handling tactics.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">By following these tips, you will surely have your finances organized to lead a more comfortable lifestyle.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Often people want to save money for their retirement but they do not know which the right vehicle to use is.  The idea of putting all of one’s money into a bank has lost its appeal for many.  Banks typically offer low rates of return on savings accounts, rates that barely keep up with inflation. Now there are an increasing variety of investment options, one of them being mutual funds.</p>
<p>Mutual offer investors the opportunity to participate in stock market funds without having to select or manage individual investments.  And, they offer a potentially better rate of return than the banks do.</p>
<p>Basically, a mutual fund allows you to invest your money pooled together with other investors.  A professional money manager uses their expertise in the marketplace to handle the ‘pool’ of money for you.  They invest the pooled money in various companies within a variety of industries.  Since most individuals do not have the time or training to manage their investments themselves, having a mutual fund professional money manager make investment decisions for them is a good way to go.</p>
<p>Being an investor of a mutual fund allows you to own shares in the companies proportionate to your investment amount.  You can also receive a share of any earnings within that fund in the form of a dividend payment.  The dividends are typically re-invested to automatically gain the advantage of compounding.</p>
<p>Because a mutual fund typically is formed around a number of companies, you as the investor have the advantage of diversification. That basically means that you have not ‘put all your eggs in one basket’.  What that means is that your investment dollars are at less risk.  If one of the companies within your mutual fund fails, it will not affect your investment as much as if you had only invested in the one company on the stock market.<br />
<span id="more-50"></span><br />
With a mutual fund your money is always available for you to use should you need it.  Your money is not locked in. You can withdraw your all of your money, or even just some of it, at any time by selling back your shares to the fund at the current net asset value.</p>
<p>Mutual funds can also allow you a tax advantage.  If you register your mutual fund as a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) you can defer paying taxes on your RRSP earnings. Your earnings are allowed to grow without being taxed and allow more of your money to compound and work harder for you.</p>
<p>Deferral means that you postpone paying the taxes on your investment amount until a future date.  By deferring tax payment until your retirement, you will probably be in a lower tax bracket and will pay a lesser amount of taxes at that time.</p>
<p>You can also use your RRSP as a deduction on your current income taxes.  You can use the amount you have put into your RRSP mutual fund and subtract it from your gross income before you calculate your income tax.  The bigger your mutual fund investment, the less amount you pay taxes on (although there are some restrictions on the amount of deduction based on income).</p>
<p>Investing in mutual funds gives you the advantage of investing in the economy.  Your investment risk is minimalized because of professional management and by the diversification that mutual funds offer. And, your potential for earning a higher rate of return than banks can offer is increased.  That is why you would be wise to consider saving your money within a mutual fund.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Need professional financial management?  Easy.  Managing your finances through the bank is not only reliable; it is effective and secure as well.  On top of that, the bank helps you save money, effort, and time efficiently.  Most depositors find this very convenient because they can transact business, pay their bills, receive their salaries/wages, or whatever cash inflow with a very effective banking system.</p>
<p>Easier said than done?  Try it.  Let’s start with the regular savings statement.  This is one very good aspect of the bank institution that many depositors do not seize advantage of.   Instead of keeping your cash in the house, which is quite a risk, you go to the bank and apply for a savings account.  The usual practice in bank accounts is for the bank to normally require its depositors to hold back a sustaining balance in their bank account.  This is what is called enforced savings.  This is required of depositors so they can continue to avail of the bank’s services.</p>
<p>Since you entrust your cash in this financial institution, you gain interest through the scheme termed savings interest standards.  Why?  Because when your cash is deposited, portions of it are used by the bank for its loan operations.  The interest and loan amounts that the bank collects, you get to enjoy as interest, because you are the money source.  Now, that is an effective system – actually, a very good savings incentive for depositors.</p>
<p>There are other attractive schemes that the banks offer.  Besides the usual savings record, most of the banks have higher-yielding savings plans and long-term options, such as the demand for time deposits and mutual funds.  In these strategies, the bank expects a certain requisite amount of money, which you entrust to the bank for a much longer time frame than the usual length of time.  In substitution for this, the interest return percentages of your money invested is doubled.</p>
<p>Another way is to increase a certain amount to be used as capital increment for the money that you invested in the mutual fund or through your time deposit record, which of course, spells bigger interest gains.</p>
<p>For other saving options, why don’t you go and see your local bank and inquire? You will discover attractive deposit/savings plans that will suit the investment that you are thinking of.  Find time to choose amongst these bank offers.  Remember, you can avail of benefits for the money that you entrust in the bank.  What’s more, your money is secure and grows while it is in the bank.</p>
