Regardless of how much you earn, being able to make your income work for you isessential. Not everyone requires a large salary and an expensive home and car to be happy, butthey do need to be comfortable in terms of being able to eat and sleep in a healthy environment,and provide adequate clothing and shelter for their families as well. This can only be achievedthrough sensible personal financial management, that is, only spending what you can afford, notborrowing money over and above what you can realistically afford to pay back, and ensuringyou and your family will be comfortable and able to maintain the standard of living when youretire.

Banks are often very willing to give credit to customers, which is where you need to becareful ?they are not so easy going when it comes to paying the money back. Overdraft interestcan be very expensive, and you end up paying back much more than you originally borrowed.On top of that, they charge high prices for going over the agreed amount, whether by accidentor not, so customers need to be extra vigilant when approaching their limit. On the other hand,when the need is only short term, an overdraft is a very viable option. If you know in advanceone month you will be caught short, then having an overdraft facility can be a big help.Similarly, simply setting up and overdraft but not using it until/unless there is an emergencywill give you piece of mind that you will not struggle to suddenly raise any moneyunexpectedly.Credit cards can be very useful, especially when using them as opposed to debit cards purely totake advantage of any spending bonus points/offers gained by regular use ?which will onlyhappen if the balance is paid off fully at the end of every month. Having a credit card foremergencies is again a sensible idea, especially for larger, unexpected bills such as car repairs.Many credit cards offer a 0% interest on the balance for a set period, often 6 months, and thiscan be manipulated so that you change company every six months to avoid paying any interest.Of course, this just keeps the interest rate down; it does nothing to shave the amount of whatyou owe. It is a common mistake to see credit as an extension of your wages ?nothing could befurther from the truth, it is not your money. You will have to pay it back at some point, and thesooner the better. Therefore, the best advice is again to only borrow what you can afford to payback.Finally, to secure your future when you eventually settle down and retire, it is an extremelyadvisable idea to set up some form of pension scheme, whether that is with your bank, or youremployers. Pension schemes can move from company to company in the event of job changing,and your employers simply take a percentage of your wage each month and put it aside, to begiven to you in a lump sum as and when you are retired, so you can maintain a good livingstandard when you are no longer working.抯Title:Women Fitness Magazine SubscriptionsWord Count:419Summary:Recent news reports have made note of the fact that an ever growing number of women andmen across the globe are overweight.
