Finance and Marketing

Archive for March, 2009

I was recently thinking again of my fairly long journey from the depths of financial hell, and trying to think of some things that, if I had in my in my life at that time, might have made the journey a little shorter, or a little easier to stay focused on. Then it occurred to me. And I usually try to do this now. Maybe not on a daily basis, but at the very least on all of my off days. I try to come up with at least one good “money event” or “money mood booster” each day.

I’ll get to the explanation of exactly what that is in a second. Going back to my journey–it was not the easiest thing in the world. And I have never said that it was. Most of the goals that I was trying to reach back then were very long term (because I was so far in debt). Therefore, there were a lot of days when it would have been easy to just give up, to forget about it all and go back to my old ways of spending money.

I can’t imagine how much more motivated I would have been had I had a little “boost” at least every few days, if not every day. Just a little something that told me I was doing things right, I was making progress, and that I would reach my goals at some point in time.

This is what I’m talking about when I say a daily “money event” or “money mood booster”. I’m not saying that every day you’re going to be able to come up with a way to beat the stock market, with a way to cut your grocery bill in half, or any other major savings event. What I am saying is that you should try to identify some of the “little” ways that you have found to save money-and celebrate them. Give your conscience a little boost.

Some recent examples in my life.

–I recently found a different gas station to do my filling up. Its right near our home, and I save roughly 9 cents per gallon on gas. Is this huge savings on a daily or even weekly basis? No. But, stretch it out over a year, and it’s about $125 in savings!

–The other day, I noticed the food we buy for our baby on sale at half price. So I went home, and got my “dollar off when you buy 10″ coupons and stocked up. I got 40 little jars of baby food for the price of 16!

Finance is a general term for moving money from one company to another (or individual) to pay for goods or services, and repaid with interest. It can also be an expression used by specialists on the ground when they see how money is managed. This is also mentioned as a system of money management used by private and commercial sectors. Large companies whose portfolios are even more important will employ a CFO to help manage their assets.

In short, these fund managers should be paid to companies or individuals to use money already available from company accounts or foreign lenders. The way it works is that managers work to keep the cost of their loans, from the low cost with an additional percentage to the client that allows to make a profit. The lives of all people on earth depends on finance movements and , the effects when poor management occurs are seen globally with reductions in production and sales, of course, global markets. The work of the finance manager is to maximize profits while keeping risk to a minimum so that you can understand why there is a high level of stress associated with this work.
