How to Become Rich - Start Now!

Becoming rich is not just about having a lot of money to spend on things. It is about being able to build financial security so that even in the harder economic times, you will know that you are taken care of and that you have the money available to make investments when they become available. There are always going to be cycles to the economy and if you can make yourself rich, you will not have to worry about the downsides as much.

Most people would like to be wealthy. Who would not want to have the comfort of knowing that they no longer had to worry about their monthly bills or whether or not their jobs were safe? It would not matter as much if you had a financial windfall to fall back on.

CAN YOU BECOME RICH?

The question then becomes, can YOU become rich? The answer to that question all begins with whether or not you are fully committed to the goal of building wealth or if you are just dreaming about having more money. If you are just dreaming, then it probably will not happen. But, if you want something more, if you want real results, yes, you can become wealthy and you can start right now.

The main thing is to learn how to attract money into your life. You want to be able to have more opportunities than what you are currently used to. Learn this technique and you will be on your way to becoming rich!

How to Calculate a Cost of Living Allowance

A Cost of Living Allowance (COLA) is a salary supplement paid to employees to cover differences in the cost of living, particularly as a result of an international assignment. The amount of COLA should enable an expatriate to be able to purchase the same basket of goods and services in the host location as they could in their home country. The basis for calculating a COLA is the Cost of Living Index (COLI) which indexes the costs of the same basket of goods and services in different geographic locations. COLA is a simple accurate method of measuring fluctuating salary purchasing power and ensuring parity.

Cost of Living Index

Our cost of Living Indexes measure the cost of 230 products and services across 13 different basket groups in 276 cities across the globe. The data is gathered by a team of research analysts who survey comparable items that are available internationally. A minimum of 3 prices for the same brand/size/volume of product is used to determine the average price for each item in each location. The items are priced on a quarterly basis and tend to rise and fall with inflation. The 13 different basket categories are as follows:

Alcohol & Tobacco: Alcoholic beverages and tobacco products

Transport: Public Transport, Vehicle Costs, Vehicle Fuel, Vehicle Insurance and Vehicle Maintenance

• Vehicle Insurance

• Vehicle Purchase

Each basket category does not count equally and are weighted in the final calculation based on expatriate spending patterns.

In order to calculate an accurate cost of living index for a specific individual the basket items that are not relevant to the individual should be excluded from the calculation. For example if education and housing is provided by the employer these basket categories would be excluded from the cost of living index calculation. This increases the accuracy of the cost of living index and makes it possible for each individual to have their own customized cost of living index based on their specific arrangements rather than using an overall "generic" index which is likely to contains costs that are not relevant to the individual.

The formula for calculating the specific cost of living index for an international assignment is as follows:

Cost of Living Index = Customized Cost of Living Index for Host City / Customized Cost of Living Index for Home City

When moving to a higher cost of living host city, the index will be greater than 1 (positive). When moving to a lower cost of living host city the index will be less than 1 (negative). Where the index is negative it means that in real terms the cost of living in the host city is lower than the home city. This means that if the negative index where to be applied to the employee's salary, they would actually be paid proportionately less spendable salary in the host city. It is important to note that the majority of organizations do not apply a negative cost of living index because it makes it difficult to persuade an employee to take up an assignment as they tend to see it as a reduction in salary.

Examples of Cost of Living Index Calculations using our data:

Example 1) An Australian employee moving from Perth to London where healthcare and communication will be provided by the employer

More Expensive in London:

• Alcohol & Tobacco +4.77%

• Clothing +21.85%

• Education +31.53%

• Furniture & Appliances +16.03%

• Groceries +16.35%

• Household +50.72%

• Miscellaneous +137.47%

• Personal Care +11.18%

• Recreation & Culture -6.82%

• Restaurants Meals Out and Hotels +34.99%

• Transport +19.80%

The overall difference in cost of living moving from Perth and London is +28.06%.

In this case the cost of living index is positive and would be applied as it is.

Example 2) A British employee moving from London to Mumbai where the employer will provide housing and education

More Expensive in Mumbai:

• Alcohol & Tobacco -37.53%

• Clothing -9.58%

• Communication -44.92%

• Furniture & Appliances -19.31%

• Groceries -24.03%

• Healthcare -31.24%

• Miscellaneous -72.43%

• Personal Care -24.94%

• Recreation & Culture -35.73%

• Restaurants Meals Out and Hotels -33.11%

• Transport is -27.99%

The overall difference in cost of living moving from London Mumbai is -30.53%.

In this case the cost of living index is negative and would not be applied.

Net Spendable Salary

Differences in cost of living only impact the portion of the salary that is spendable in the host country. Items in the home country such as retirement funding, medical insurance and other home based costs are not impacted by the cost of living in the host country.

To determine the Net Spendable Salary establish what amount / portion of the current salary (in home currency) is spent in maintaining the employee's current standard of living / lifestyle. What will the expatriate need to spend their salary on in the host country? For example will accommodation be provided or will the employee pay rent, will healthcare be provided etc. Deduct all items that are either provided in kind or are spendable in the home country. Deduct the hypothetical amount of tax, social contributions and any other statutory deductions applicable in the home country from the Spendable Salary. What is left is the Net Spendable Salary.

Cost of Living Allowance (COLA)

The formula for calculating the cost of living allowance using the above inputs is as follows:

(Net Spendable Salary X Cost of Living Index X Hardship Index X Exchange Rate) less (Net Spendable Salary X Exchange Rate) = COLA

Examples of COLA Calculations using our data

Example 1) An Australian employee with a net spendable salary of AUD$100,000 moving from Perth to London where healthcare and communication will be provided by the employer

($100,000.00 X 1.2806 X 1 X 0.4768) less ($100,000.00 X 0.4768) = COLA of £13,379.44 (GBP)

Based on all the above factors a person would require a Cost of Living Allowance of £13,379.44 (GBP), in addition to their current salary of 100,000.00 Australian Dollar (AUD) to compensate for relocating from Perth to London. This Cost of Living Allowance compensates for the overall cost of living difference of +28.06% and the relative difference in hardship of 0%.

Example 2) A British employee with a net spendable salary of £18,000 moving from London to Mumbai where the employer will provide housing and education

Note: Because the Cost of Living Index is negative it is not applied.

(£18,000.00 X 1 X 1.3 X 67.2852) less (£18,000.00 X67.2852) = COLA of 363,340.32 Indian Rupee

Based on all the above factors a person would require a Cost of Living Allowance of 363,340.32 (INR ), in addition to their current salary of £18,000.00 British Pound (GBP ) to compensate for relocating from London to Mumbai. This Cost of Living Allowance compensates for the overall cost of living difference of [-30.53%] and the relative difference in hardship of 30%.

COLA Payment

The COLA is paid as a salary supplement (i.e. as an additional allowance) net of tax in the host country. If the COLA is a taxable allowance in the host country it should be grossed up in order that the full amount of calculated COLA is paid net of tax given that the basis of the calculation is Net Spendable Salary. The COLA is often accompanied by other allowances and benefits such as flights home, relocation / settling in allowance, and furnishing allowance.

Exchange Rate Fluctuations

Significant changes in the exchange rate can make a considerable difference in the COLA calculation. In 2008 some of the major global exchange rates changed by as much as 30-40%.

The cost of living index reflects the changes caused by inflation and exchange rates. In the short-term there may be disequilibrium between inflation and the exchange rate (the one pushes the other), however over time the cost of living index provides the most accurate view of the cost of living.

It is important to remind expatriates that when the cost of living difference is negative, and the negative value has not been applied, they have higher purchasing power in the host country than they would at home.

Where a negative cost of living index has not been applied (our recommended approach), and a change in the exchange rate indicates an upward adjustment in COLA may be required, it is recommended that the COLA should not be adjusted upward until the cost of living index becomes positive i.e. the cost of living reflects that there is a "real" increase in cost of living between home and host countries. This may mean that their would be no increase in the COLA as a result of exchange rate fluctuations for some considerable time. During this time the employee's purchasing power decreases. But it is important to remember that until the cost of living difference becomes positive, the individual will still have a higher purchasing power than they do in their home country.

It is advisable to stipulate a currency protection rule, rather than reacting to every fluctuation in the exchange rate. For example the rule may state that COLA will be reviewed if exchange rates or local inflation move by more than +10% during a year. It is important to keep in mind that the prices of goods and services are unlikely to drop in local currency. This would only occur in a period of deflation (negative inflation). Therefore the currency protection rule would normally make provision for upward adjustments in COLA and not downward adjustments during an employee's assignment. Downward adjustments to an existing COLA due to exchange rate fluctuations without a corresponding drop in the prices of local goods and services puts immense pressure on an employee's host currency budget commitments and can lead to the employee experiencing financial difficulty.

Using an independent service provider provides an independent, objective basis for determining an employee's COLA.

We recommend therefore that a COLA is calculated by applying the specific (customized) cost of living index to the net spendable salary at the beginning of the assignment and monitoring exchange rate fluctuations thereafter in addition to the annual salary review.

Save Money While Grocery Shopping

Are you looking to cut your spending? Many of our daily costs are impossible to actually cut, but food is one area where nearly everyone spends too much. This article will take you through some quick methods to chop your grocery bill down to size.

Brands

The first thing you need to do is look at the brand names that you are choosing to buy. Do you buy the top brands because that's what you're used to? Often store or no-name brands can be up to half the price of a big popular name. Try buying the cheaper version of what you like and see if it really makes a difference.

In some cases, you will never notice...margarine, sugar, and cornflakes, for example, are all pretty much the same, no matter what the box looks like.

Price Compare

If you always shop at the same store because it's convenient, you may need to think about checking out other grocery stores in the area. Sometimes the same product will be drastically cheaper at another store. Find out if you could be saving money by driving a few blocks over. It probably won't be worth it for just one item, but you might be surprised and discover that everything in the store is a dollar or so less, in which case, it's well worth the extra trip.

Make a List

Having a plan for your meals will help you create a shopping list that only includes things you actually need. If you plan to have chicken this week, for example, you don't need to pick up roast beef.

Once you make your shopping list, stick to it. Even if something is on sale or catches your eye, don't stray from the list.

Shop the Sales

There's a good reason to look at the sales flyers for the local supermarkets. You never know when they might have a really great sale that will help you save money and stock up on food that you want. While I did just say that you shouldn't buy stuff not on your list even if it's on sale, this would be considered planning ahead and you would base your list and possibly your meal plan around these sales.

Groceries are the ideal place to start saving money. If you are looking for a way to cut costs, but don't know how . . . look at your grocery habits first.

How to Survive a Depression and Thrive During Tough Economic Times

People all over the world are wondering how to survive a depression. They realize that we are all going through some tough economic times right now. Still, it's not yet as bad as it was when the Great Depression was going on. The stock market has been dropping for several months now and that is bad news for those who invest in stocks. At some point, I'm sure things will get back on track again, but who really knows for sure how long that could take?

During this rough time, we all need to sit down and figure out how to survive a depression. Discuss these tough times with your family to see how you can save money or spend less on the things you need and want. You would be surprised at the ideas the kids can come up with, so you will want to include them as well.

Learning how to survive a depression can be a struggle at first, but if you work together as a family, you can do it. If you ever studied the great depression in school, you know that they did what they had to do to survive during that time. We may have to do the same thing during this tough time. People that didn't have jobs before may have to get one so they have enough money to support their families. Businesses are laying people off because income is down. This makes it hard on families as well.

There are a number of things you can do to teach your family how to survive a depression before it happens. For starters, you should save money while you can. There are many ways you can save money here and there. Drive the car instead of the truck on the weekends when you go to different places as a family. Walk if you can rather than drive. Go out to dinner less and cook at home more. Purchase less expensive foods and skip the more expensive ones such as crab, shrimp, and steak.

Still needs more ideas on how to survive a depression? Why not have the kids walk to school rather than going out of your way to take them or pick them up. If walking is not an option, have them ride a bus instead. Use public transportation instead of your own vehicles.

Call your creditors to see if there is a way to lower your interest rates. This would help with your mortgage, car loans, and credit cards. Call your insurance agent and ask if there are any discounts that you can take advantage of. Call the bank and ask about refinancing your mortgage or car loans for lower payments. Review your bills to see if there are any you can eliminate. You might be able to lower your cable bill if you get rid of channels you don't watch. Call the phone company to see if you can remove features that you don't use.

The time to start considering how to survive a depression is now. Get together as a family and take a close look at all your options. Figuring out how to survive a depression and taking preventive steps to minimize financial loss is much easier to do when you are not struggling. Struggling to keep your head above water is very stressful when you have bills to pay and a family to feed.
Surviving the hard times may not be easy, but it can be done.

Understanding Bank Charges to Protect Your Money

Bank charges can be difficult to understand and seem to sneak up on you when you aren't looking, but with a little understanding you can watch for any bank charge and learn how to claim bank charges in the correct way. PPI (Payment Protection Insurance) may not be a charge you even think about, but you pay it and if you never use it the bank is just making money off of you, instead of the other way around. You can reclaim your PPI payments and reclaim other bank funds, even if you have gone over the limits of your account and had to pay for those mistakes. Banks don't want you to know you can reclaim PPI payments or other bank charges because that is less for them and more for you.

Before you can start the process of reclaiming your bank charges you should understand what bank charges are standard and which can be reclaimed. Your account is usually set up with a set of standard bank charges designed to help you be a responsible financial customer and learn how to manage your money. These include overdraft fees, balance minimums and PPI fees. These fees are all paid almost without your knowledge as they are often small, but over time can add up and if you are hit with multiple overdraft fees at a time can be devastating.

Though you pay a PPI charge to protect your account, if you never need the protection you should be able to get that amount back, right? When you file a PPI claim you should consider the length of your account, the number of PPI payments you've made and the lack of mistakes you have made that the coverage didn't need to cover. This is all how you prove to the bank that you should receive that money back and how as a responsible financial account holder, you are entitled to receive a refund on the money you have invested into having an account with them.

Bank charges can be a fickle and strange world to navigate, but with a basic understanding of the charges you pay each month, you can get back some of the hard earned money you spend to keep your accounts active and in good standing. When looking for a way to save on the fees and expenses you have just to get through the normal standings in life, look for the little things like refunds on bank charges.

Paying College Tuition Bills on Time, Every Time

Students often struggle with the prospect of facing financial difficulties and going to school at the same time. Students are fearful of what the real world may hold for them, as they have heard horror stories about students struggling with bills while in school and finding it tough to balance their studies, a job and keeping up with a personal life. Students should consider all their options before making a decision about how to pay for school, but what some students may not realize is that a college internship or part-time job may be one of the best options for them despite their already busy schedules.

When dealing with the prospect of paying college tuition bills late, students may become frightened as to how their school will choose to deal with their late payment. Worrying themselves over this night after night, students find college much more stressful than it should be. While students should strive to make the best of their experience and work hard at achieving their degree with the highest honor possible, stressing over college tuition is something that is not necessary. Stressing over tests, quizzes and homework is normal, but when a student is forced to occupy their mind with financial difficulties, things can start to get a tad too chaotic inside of their head. Finding a reasonable way of dealing with these worries is important if the student wishes to move forward with their college education and get the degree they have always dreamed of earning.

When students find a way to pay for their college tuition each and every month, it is like a huge burden has been lifted off their shoulders. They may be able to concentrate in class better, pay better attention to the professor and focus more on their studies without their mind wandering. Nobody likes writing a paper with their mind full of other topics, especially financial woes. Dealing with stress is something that everybody will have to face at some point, but when the source of the stress is avoidable, students would be silly not to do everything they can to get rid of this burden. Finding a reliable college internship is an excellent way to pay the bills on time each month and ensure that the bills do not pile up.

With a college internship, students will find paying their college tuition bills much easier. When that same internship offers them the opportunity to learn a bit about the real world at the same time, it becomes a very valuable tool at both putting the student through college and ensuring they get some real world experience in the process. Finding a way to deal with financial troubles and make themselves more attractive job candidates later in life, students with a college internship under their belt will hold an advantage over students that did not take advantage of these internship programs.

With an internship, students will be able to convey their qualifications to job interviewers and employers with confidence. Explaining their experiences in leadership roles and in a capacity unfamiliar to their peers, these students will surely prove they are ready to enter the real world and make a difference in whichever field they choose to enter.

Now You Can Learn to Trade Like a Pro

Everyone has the potential to learn to trade. But learning to trade has many traps that turn intelligent, successful people into willing losers is familiarity. For example, with commodities, you're just trading things that you grew up with like gold, silver, wheat, soybeans, cattle, and sugar.

Or futures contracts, where it's simple enough to understand how to control contracts with only a marginal investment. It's all quite familiar. Trying to learn commodity and futures trading does not seem such an uphill task.

So you find a broker and open an account. As you go through the disclosure documents, you acknowledge the risk involved, you're warned to only trade with money you can afford to lose, not to use borrowed money or money that, if lost, would affect your livelihood or ability to provide for your family. Yadda, yadda, yadda. The NFA is looking out for you so you send in your money and fund your account.

And there you are, money in hand with big dreams and high expectations because your broker has just shared a particular strategy, complete with charts, recommendations, and the markets that he's watching.

Side note: if you went straight to electronic trading, then you've had to learn trading without broker assistance, and that can amplify the effect of the trap. Keep reading.

So, you've acknowledged the risk and digested as much information as you can in a short period of time. Now you're ready to place your first trade.

When a good one comes along, you jump in. You're excited. You're watching that trade, the markets, and the news with great anticipation. You're watching and you're learning. But as time goes on it begins to dawn on you that there's a whole lot more to this trading business than you first thought.

Actually, there's a lot more.

But it's too late. You're hooked. And now it doesn't matter what happens on this first trade because you've seen the potential and you know the money's there for the taking.

But, before long, you experience some or all of the events that inevitably occur to new traders:

• you get stopped out then watch the market run the direction you predicted--except you're out.
• you hesitate to enter a trade, and miss out altogether, or miss out on the profits.
• you hang onto a trade too long and watch your profits disappear
• you continue to hang onto a trade until it becomes a large loss
• you sit on the sidelines and see other markets running, knowing the huge money that's being made during this time.

A torrent of emotions may come into play: anticipation, excitement, anxiety, greed (my mouth actually watered the first time I saw my contracts doubling), fear, regret, anger, blame, elation, shame. The list is long, the emotions are powerful, and they pull you further into the trap.

Very soon, you've had several trades lose money. You're frustrated, things aren't working out like you expected. The chart patterns are confusing and the indicators have let you down. You start to lose the desire for learning trading. But hold on, you're competitive. You know you're smart enough. And you want to win!

You look around for new indicators. You begin to deviate from your system. You're searching the Internet and bookstores for a system or strategy that will give you the edge to beat the markets. And at this point, unless you have ice in your veins, the trap has been set. You're caught.

Okay, I've laid out the typical progression in the life of a new trader. Does any of it sound familiar? I've mentioned several components that, working together, empty the accounts of hundreds of thousands of astute, intelligent people every year.

The trap is right in front of you. I'll spell it out. Lodge into your mind these 5 components of the subtle (mental) trap of trading and learn to trade like a superstar.

1. Familiarity with what's being traded.
2. Risk disclosures and a focus on risk.
3. The implied simplicity of trading.
4. The implied notion that trading is investing.
5. The fact that you can begin trading without any training. (Very few traders are taught how to plan a trade before entering their first trade.)

Avoid these components and you'll be well on your challenging way to learn to trade.

Easy Ways to Make Extra Money - For Teachers

No matter where you live teachers never seem to make enough money to support a decent lifestyle. At the same time they do not have the time it takes to get a second job because they also have homes and families that need their help and support. Now things are changing and the internet provides easy ways to make extra money for teachers. The choices from which to choose are enormous and they can make their own decision about how much or how little time they wish to spend online using their skills and education to help others.

One way to make extra money for teachers is through tutoring. There are many tutoring sites already set up or you can choose to offer your services and set your own rates. There are also a number of sites set up for students who need help with homework and though some of them do not have a fee, there are others that do charge for the services. You certainly have the option to work with a website that is already set up for tutoring services or to set up your own website with a price structure that fits your budgetary requirements.

Another way for teachers to make extra money is by setting up or participating in online classes. Now that the internet is so much a part of many homes more students are opting to take classes in their privacy of their homes rather than having to get up early every day to go to school. This is also the case with many college students who are working full-time jobs and taking distance learning classes online. In both instances the teacher has the option to work with an educational facility or set up classes on his or her own. With the latter it is important the teacher be certified to teach the class so that the student doesn't waste money taking a class that will not provide any credits.

In addition to classes that are taught in high school or college teachers are beginning to offer their services by teaching other classes as well such as office skills and advanced coursework in subjects such as creative writing, typing, accounting and other individual courses. Sometimes students may take a course just because they want to learn more about a topic rather than to pursue a degree. Being able to do it online makes it easier for the student who is working full-time, taking care of a family or just doesn't have the time to take courses at the local college. With students choosing more online courses it opens a world of opportunity and choices in how to make extra money for teachers. With the internet being a global community of many different languages, teachers are also needed to teach and translate other languages and there is no better place to do that than online where the student can see and visualize what the teacher is saying without any pressure.

Beginning Stock Trading Online

That said, there are investments that are not as risky than others, and may be well worth the effort to find them. If you are new to the stock trading online or even if you've have traded before, it is wise to keep a few things in mind for your own protection. Ask questions and research before purchasing any investment software. Knowing what your tolerance for losses are before proceeding. Everything involves a risk.

Working with a broker can make your trading activity easier- they can guide you to a block of stocks that are giving fair returns for a minimum investment, which is exactly what you want to start with. Nobody dives into the stock market and makes a killing on their first trade, what you want to aim for is slow and steady, consistent performance. Stocks that blow up all of a sudden also have the potential to tank just as fast.

You do not have to work with a stock broker that pressures you into stocks or other tools that sound risky, no matter how unqualified you think that you are.
