Eric Tysonās Keys to Personal
Financial Success:
Take charge of your finances. Procrastinating is detrimental to your long-term financial health. Donāt wait for a crisis or major life event to get your act together. Read this book and start implementing a plan now!
Donāt buy consumer items (cars, clothing, vacations, and so on) that lose value over time on credit. Use debt only to make investments in things that gain value, such as real estate, a business, or an education.
Use credit cards only for convenience, not for carrying debt. If you have a tendency to run up credit card debt, then get rid of your cards and use only cash, checks, and debit cards.
Live within your means and donāt try to keep up with your co-workers, neighbors, and peers. Many who engage in conspicuous consumption are borrowing against their future; some end up bankrupt.
Save and invest at least 5 to 10 percent of your income. Preferably, invest through a retirement savings account to reduce your taxes and ensure your future financial independence.
Understand and use your employee benefits. If youāre self-employed, find the best investment and insurance options available to you and use them.
Research before you buy. Never purchase a financial product or service on the basis of an advertisement or salespersonās solicitation.
Avoid financial products that carry high commissions and expenses. Companies that sell their products through aggressive sales techniques generally have the worst financial products and the highest commissions.
Donāt purchase any financial product that you donāt understand. Ask questions and compare what youāre being offered to the best sources recommended in this book.
Invest the majority of your long-term money in ownership vehicles that have appreciation potential, such as stocks, real estate, and your own business. When you invest in bonds or bank accounts, youāre simply lending your money to others, and the return you earn probably wonāt keep you ahead of inflation and taxes.
