"Of ten coins placed within thy purse take out only nine"
Obvious really. Don't spend all you earn, put a little away out of
every pay cheque - here 10% is suggested but with low interest rates these
days, 15%, or if you can manage it 20%, would be better.
"Budget thy expenditures, so that thou mayest have
coins for thy necessities, thy enjoyments and thy worthwhile
desire without spending more than nine-tenths of thy earnings"
Keep a careful track of what you spend and budget for fun, bills
and savings.
Try to keep within budget and look over the bank statement each month.
It's your money - maintain control!
"Put one tenth to labouring that it may reproduce its kind
even as the flocks of the field"
This means invest the money you save - get it working for you - money makes money -
if you use it well.
"Guard thy treasure from loss, consult with wise men. Secure the
advice of those experienced in the profitable handling of gold"
Take only as much risk as you feel comfortable with and get advice from
experienced
experts - Independent Advisors such as Charlwood Leigh - need we say more!
"Own thine own home"
Why rent? You put money in other peoples' pockets. We can help you get
on the housing ladder and sort out mortgages and ways to pay them off.
"No man can afford not to insure a treasure for his old age
and the protection of his family, no matter how prosperous
his business and investments may be"
Insure for your old age - get a pension plan started as soon as you start work!
Insure your life and your health with the best arrangements you can afford.
"Increase thy ability to earn. Cultivate thy powers, study
and become wiser, to become more skilful in thy labours"
Never stop learning - technology advances, times change, new skills are needed as well as old.
Sign up for vocational courses. New qualifications command better wages -
more money to spend and, of course, more money to SAVE.
