Defining Moments & Wealth Building

Learn why “defining moments” are the time to dig in if you desire to achieve your credit and financial goals efficiently…

 

It is important in the times that we now live in that you re-focus on what is important.

 

With 2020 being a “defining moment” in the lives of many—including the creator of TheWealthIncreaer.com—it is important that you put the right plan in place to move forward toward your dreams.

 

With COVID-19 running rampant in many parts of the world it is important that you put together a plan so that you can not only survive–but prosper and thrive.

 

At this time (a defining moment) the creator of TheWealthIncreaer.com decided that fall 2020 was the time to put forth empowering action steps that you can take right nowso that you along with others who desire credit and finance success throughout their life would be able to do so in as effective a manner as possible.

 

As you move along in life and face adversity there will be occasions when you are forced to look deep within to determine a better path to take in your life.  That inward look could be the defining moment that provides you the inspiration and strength to move forward at a level that is your absolute best.

 

Your decision at this time to go after what you want to occur most could be the defining moment in your life that puts you in position to focus in on your dreams and achieve what you desire to occur most in your life.

 

You should not live daily with the feeling or thoughts that what you desire in your future won’t work out.  Your decision to take a more serious approach and to start now–could be the defining moment in your life where you can put the steps in place and put an effective plan in place that works in your favor as opposed to going about life in a way that is uncertain!

 

You can achieve more and leave a legacy for your family and loved ones.

 

The defining moment that you are facing can make you or break you depending on how you respond.

 

You must get out of the habit of making decisions based on the short term and look further down the horizon so that you can achieve more.

 

What you do after you make a mistake speaks volumes and what you do after you achieve success also speaks volumes!

 

Even though you may be short sighted in your thinking at this time, the following steps can get you started fast on achieving long-term success and could be the defining moment in your life where you decide to  leave all excuses behind and pursue what you desire with a new level of zeal.

 

Step 1

It is important that you define where you are currently at financially.  You can define yourself and not live off of definitions that others assign to you.  By creating a budget or cash flow statement along with other personal finance statements you can get a clear picture of where you are now at so that you can plan better and take action that will lead you to where you need–or desire to be.

 

Step 2

Your desire to attain “mastery of your credit” at this time could be the defining moment where you gain the knowledge to manage your credit effectively throughout your lifetime.  You deserve the opportunity to manage your credit in a way that serves your best interest and you now have that opportunity.

 

Step 3

If you desire to define “your future” you must be able to see your finances in a comprehensive or all encompassing manner so that you can achieve more.  You must at this time look at how your insurance, investments, taxes, emergency fund, education planning, estate planning/wills and retirement planning all interact and can help you  achieve more when done properly.

 

Conclusion

By taking advantage of this moment in time and not letting what may appear to be an unfair situation that has or may occur in your life at a future date deter you or limit your ability to dream big and pursue that big dream–you put yourself in a stronger position for lifelong success.

 

In the final analysis you possess the power to define your future from this day forward!

 

By utilizing the steps above at this time or at a later time you are setting yourself and your family up for lasting success.   You no longer have to  look at your finances as a mess and you no longer have to expect  less.

 

All the best…

Excuses & Wealth Building

Learn how you can fly higher and build wealth more efficiently if you leave all excuses behind…

 

In the current economy it can seem difficult to achieve your dreams.

With COVID 19 running rampant in many parts of the United States and many areas in the World it can often seem impossible or improbable to achieve what you may have planned prior to the COVID 19 economic environment.

Even so, if you leave all excuses behind and you pursue (you must decide to get started) what you desire at your highest level—the success that you desire can still be in your future.

It is important that you realize that adversity of all kinds will occur throughout your lifetime and the sooner that you realize that, the more effective you can be in responding to that adversity.

You can utilize a proactive approach as things in your life improve, along with a mindset of resilience to move forward effectively as you build wealth by doing the following:

 

1) Determine where you are at financially

You can leave all excuses behind at this time by making a real commitment to manage your finances better at this time, and throughout your lifetime.

You can use personal finance statements along with the goals that you desire to occur most, to achieve at a higher level as you move toward the goals that you desire most.

 

2) Know how credit affects you and your family

You can leave all excuses behind by having mastery of your credit and knowledge of how YOU can use credit effectively throughout your lifetime.

You can manage your credit file and credit score effectively if you have working knowledge of how credit works and you apply that knowledge to your unique credit situation.

 

3) Have a comprehensive picture of your finances and financial future

If you approach your finances in a comprehensive or all encompassing manner you can “see the whole picture” so to speak, as opposed to looking at your finances in isolation or in a piecemeal approach.

You must know how your insurance, investments, taxes, education funding, estate planning/wills and retirement planning and the need to create a properly funded emergency fund at the earliest time possible all correlate, so that you can leave all excuses behind–once and for all.

 

Conclusion

It is important that you look deep inside and make the decision to manage your finances at a level that is the best that is within you.

By doing so you make “your path” toward your ultimate success much more likely to come true.

All the best to your path to success as you now know what you need to do—as you pursue what you desire to come true—at a level that is the absolute best that is within you…

 

As added motivation in these difficult times the creator of TheWealthIncreaser.com will leave you with a poem that was inspired by hummingbirds and other birds that were seen this summer that can hopefully inspire and help you move forward in a more efficient manner:

 

Humming Coming at You so that You can make Your Dreams Come True

Mourning dove from up above showing you love

Hummingbird fly’s down low—showing you the way to go

Hawk coming down from up high toward the ground—to inspire you to turn your life around

Mourning dove comes to your fence to show love and recompense

Humming coming at you to ensure that you make your dreams come true

Humming coming at you to make sure you do what you need to do

Thrasher running on the ground trying to urge you to master your credit so you can win

Wren coming in to make sure you are ready to use your pen

Butterflies go high so that you can ask why and put your plan in place to exceed the sky

Wasps come to sting so that you can focus your dreams and be more than it now seems

All this and more is what is in store

Even so pursue what you desire—at a level that will take your success higher—so that you can achieve from wire to wire

Excuses no more—as you soar…

Decisions & Wealth Building

 

Learn why the decisions that you make throughout your life can help you achieve your wealth building goals more efficiently…

 

In the current environment it is important that you reflect on your ability to make the best or most optimal decision at the various stages of your life.

 

On this father’s day 2020  the creator of TheWealthIncreaser.com reflected back on the importance of making good decisions so that you can achieve more in the current economy.

 

The decisions that you made in your past (for the most part) have directed you to where you are now at.  However it is important that you now focus on your future and the decisions that “you can now make at this time” that can lead to you achieving what you desire  as you build wealth.

 

By making the decision to take the following 3 steps and acting on making those steps happen at a level that is the best that is within you—you can start on a sincere journey toward making your dreams come true.

 

It is important that you decide to see exactly where you stand financially at this time so that you can use the financial data to make better decisions for your future moves as it relates to your finances.

 

You must decide at this time to get a real handle on your monthly inflow and outflow of cash, know what you own and what you owe and know what you make and spend annually.

 

It is important that you have the mindset that you will manage your finances in a manner that puts you in control–not creditors or others who have no concern for your future outlook!

 

If you at this time have great credit (740 or higher credit score) you are to be commended.  However, it is important that you make the decision to continue to manage your credit effectively.  And for those who do not have great credit at this time, it is important that you decide at this time to manage your credit more wisely.

 

You can do so by understanding the 5 credit factors and gaining the knowledge of how you can make the “5 credit factors” work for you and your family in a more rewarding and beneficial way–starting today!

 

By utilizing the “5 credit factors” that you now have the opportunity to master you can put yourself in position to do what you need to do–to make your wealth building dreams come true.

 

For those of you who have a net worth that allows you to navigate through life without utilizing credit–you too are to be commended.

 

However, you too must make the decision to manage your cash flow at an optimal level.

 

It is important that you have a mental picture of all areas in your financial life that you need to address.

 

You must take an accurate and analytical look at your insurance needs, your investment concerns, your current tax position, your emergency fund position, your education funding needs, your estate planning/wills and your retirement planning concerns.

 

By doing so you put yourself in a better position to make decisions that are good for you and your family and you greatly enhance the possibility and probability of achieving your wealth building goals.

 

Conclusion

By deciding to take decisive action and leaving all excuses behind, you position yourself and your family for a more prosperous future–inside of your mind.

 

You must realize that it is your responsibility to “decide right now” to achieve at your highest level of excellence while you are here on planet earth–and it is your responsibility to know your self-worth.

 

Why live your life on a daily basis with worry, anxiety, fear and a lack of direction on the inside of you when you can make the decision to choose a better path toward making your dreams come true?

 

By doing so you open up new possibilities for not only yourself, but also future generations as well.

 

All the best to your decision to achieve at a level that will lead you to a higher level of success…

Patience & Wealth Building

Learn why you must have patience as you build wealth…

 

It is important that you have patience as you build wealth as in many areas of wealth building time is involved.

 

In this discussion TheWealthIncreaser.com will discuss ways that you can use patience and a plan of action to achieve your wealth building goals.

 

1) Have a comprehensive overview of your finances…

Prior to selecting the financial professionals that you need to help you achieve optimally you must know where you want to go.

 

It is important that you realize that there are things that you don’t know—that you don’t know that you don’t know and that applies to all of us.

 

Your lack of knowledge can be very detrimental to your future wealth building efforts if you don’t have a mental construct of what you need to know.

 

Therefore you must know at this time that you must know your inflow and outflow of cash on a monthly basis along with the knowledge of your net worth so that you can gain a better picture of where you can go.

 

You must also have mastery of how credit works and finally you must know all areas of your finances that you must address.

 

Patience will be required of you, however by visiting this site you now have a concise blueprint of what you need to do.

 

2) Choose the right financial professionals

 

It is important that you choose highly competent financial professionals to work with.

 

Although turnkey tax programs, franchise tax preparation companies, discount brokerages and robo advisors are in abundance everywhere, that does not mean they are your best choice.

 

You must have the patience to interview the financial professionals that you need to help you achieve your wealth building goals and not seek the quick way out as the quick way out can put you in a worse position for building wealth in many cases.

 

Take the time out of your busy schedule to interview and ultimately work with financial professionals that you are comfortable working with that has the competence and track record that you need to succeed!

 

3) Realize that patience is required to reach your goals…

Since you now have a more complete picture of what you need to do in your financial life and you have selected or chose financial professionals that you are comfortable with and are sincerely working in your best interest, you must realize that reaching your educational, goals, tax goals, investment goals, estate goals and retirement goals will require that you have patience as you must allow your investments the opportunity to grow.

 

Conclusion

Presence of Mind & Wealth Building

 

Your wealth building efforts can be achieved, however it is important that you are patient as you must give your money time to grow.

 

You must also have the patience to interview and assess financial professionals that you don’t know and may cause discomfort upon meeting initially but may be a good fit for you and your future goals.

 

Even if you choose to pursue your wealth building success by doing it on your own you must realize the pitfalls and know that there are areas that you make lack the required knowledge in and it is your responsibility to get that knowledge on the front end.

 

You must not have a “blind” mind as it relates to seeing your finances and financial future!  And you must know the steps that you need to take to reach the goals that you desire.

 

By doing so you can reach the goals that you may now feel are outside of your reach and avoid the disappointments that so many have encountered because they were looking at their finances in isolation and they lacked the patience to put together a comprehensive plan  (at the right time) that gave them a real sense of reality of where they could truly go–and put them in the know.

 

All the best to using your patience to achieve lasting success…

Timing & Wealth Building in the COVID-19 Era

 

Learn why the time to do what you need to do financially varies depending on where you are now at in your life stage…

 

In the current economy in many parts of the world many are at a point where they must stay in a confined area for a certain time period and/or must keep a certain distance from others due to the COVID-19 virus.

 

Many are using this time wisely and are looking within in an introspective manner to see what they can possibly do better in their life.

 

It is important that you at this time determine where you are now at financially and otherwise—and make the best or most optimal moves “at this time”  based on your current life stage and financial position.

 

In the following paragraphs you can learn how you can use your time more wisely and achieve at a higher level—at this time—and in your future.

 

Plan in advance for uncertain times…

 

You can use your time more wisely by focusing and planning on what you desire to occur in your future.  Many of those who have frequented this site for years are now in a better position than most to handle the uncertainty and anxiety that is now in the atmosphere.

 

Whether it be financial or otherwise you make the likelihood of future success occurring in your life when you plan for success and particularly when you put your planning in writing.

 

You can use personal financial statements to see where you are now at and use the information that is derived from those statements to see where you can go.

 

You must plan for success by knowing how credit works and using that knowledge to manage your credit in a manner that serves your best interests—not creditors.

 

You must plan, pray and take the right posture on a daily basis if you truly desire to position yourself and your family for lifelong success!

 

It is also important that you have a comprehensive overview of your finances so that you can plan daily in a manner where you can win--consistently.  Even if you now find yourself in an adverse position as a result of COVID-19 or other factors you must always know that you can put rebound mechanisms in place and still achieve your goals throughout your lifetime.

 

Know what you desire in your future…

 

You also want to take time—right now—to do some deep thinking to determine where you really want to take your future.

 

What were you put on earth to do?

 

Use the time that you have now to search your soul and determine if what you are now doing or working toward doing is what you were truly put on earth to do.

 

Or is what you are doing at this time something that you must do—but it serves no real end toward making your dreams come true.

 

Use a calming approach (you slow your mind down and receive the inspiration and dreams that were meant for you) and look within at your life and see if there is a better, more effective way of achieving what you really desire.

 

 Do continuous review in order to make your dreams come true…

 

Once you put your plans into action you must still have the mindset that you will do continuous review and fine tune where necessary.

 

You can achieve many of the goals that you may now feel are out of reach if you take the time now to plan—do and review.

 

By doing so consistently you can achieve at a higher level and fatigue and a feeling of doubt will play no meaningful role in holding you back from achieving your dreams.

 

Conclusion

You can at this time choose to get down on yourself and remain where you are now at or move along in life at a snail’s pace—or you can use the time that you have to look within and plan for a better and brighter future.

 

You can better prepare yourself and your family for the perils that lie ahead (both seen and unseen) and position yourself to “weather the storm” in a way where you come out in a good position—or possibly even in a better condition than when you were experiencing the storm–or even before the storm.

 

It is the desire of TheWeaalthIncreaser.com that this discussion has led to “a calming of your thoughts” and a feeling of well-being about your future.  Regardless of where you now stand better days lie ahead and you can use what you have learned in this discussion that you feel is appropriate to move forward–to “your” best advantage!

 

In the age of COVID-19 you must believe and know that you will come out on the other side in a stronger position for success—whether it be financial or otherwise!

 

You must also remember that the time to do what you need to do to make your dreams come true will never be ideal.  You are now alive and visiting this site and you have the opportunity to get your future right–in spite of the disheartening news that you may hear on your radio or hear and see on your phone or  TV tonight.

 

Those who have been utilizing this site for years continue to do so due in large part to the calming effect that it has on their financial life.

 

For those of you who are new to this site it is the desire of TheWealthIncreaser.com  that you continue to visit if you find value in this site so that you too can transform your future to that of true success once and for all—whether it be financial or otherwise.

 

All the best to your success during these difficult times and throughout your lifetime…

Field of Sight & Wealth Building

Learn why on many occasions you can’t achieve the wealth building goals that you don’t see clearly…

 

In the current economy many are uptight and have a certain level of uncertainty about what lies ahead for varying reasons.

 

In spite of what is occurring in your country and on the world stage it is important that you have in “your field of vision” what you want to occur most in your wealth building future.

 

In this discussion TheWealthIncreaser.com will discuss the power of focus and concentrating on the goals that you desire in your and your family’s financial future.

 

In the following paragraphs you will learn what you need to have in your “field of sight” if you desire to make the financial goals that you desire happen in a more time-efficient manner.  It is important that you have a “clear view of what you need to do” to make your dreams come true.

 

This discussion is designed to get you started fast on your journey toward achieving what you desire in a manner where you encounter fewer roadblocks because all obstacles have been cleared out of your way–and you can see what lies ahead clearly.

 

View of the steps that you need to take…

You must see clearly how you can use financial statements to reach your goals in a more efficient manner.  Your usage and understanding of a personal cash flow statement can help you plan and reach the goals that can make a real difference in your quality of life.

 

By having clarity or a clear view of what you need to do–you set yourself up for making your dreams come true.

 

You cannot effectively address what you don’t see, therefore, “how credit operates” is something that you must see–if you desire to be all that you can be.  You must have mastery of your credit so that you can achieve more during your lifetime if you are one who have a need or desire to achieve more.

 

You cannot strive to reach what you don’t see, therefore you want to know all areas of your finances that you must address–so that you can strive to reach a higher level of success.

 

By knowing what you must address you put your mind in position to look at your insurance, investments, taxes, education planning, emergency fund, estate planning/wills and retirement planning in a more balanced and beneficial way where the advantage can go in your favor as opposed to creditors and others.

 

Clarify that what you see is what is meant to be…

Is the inspiration that you see true inspiration and what you should act upon or is the inspiration  something that you should take a pass on?  Are the goals that you desire to achieve really what you should go after?

 

If what you desire is something that you should act on you won’t feel insecure or doubtful about what you are about to embark upon.  Quite the contrary, you will joyfully pursue what you desire and do all that you can do as you reach higher.

 

If what you see is what is truly meant to be you won’t be fearful and afraid to move forward.  Quite the contrary,  you will be moved in a focused and sincere way to move forward–starting today.

 

Vision of your mindset or mental toughness to achieve what you desire…

You must see yourself thinking through what you need to do to make your financial dreams come true.  You must have a view of your future where you see “what you desired to achieve” has already occurred–and you are in effect experiencing at the time of your thoughts the reality of “what you visualized” to occur at a future date.

 

You must determine if what you see is what is truly meant to be.  You do so by giving serious deep thought to what you desire most so that you can gain the strength that you need to put into action what you see.

 

You must see yourself on a daily basis doing the work that is necessary to make what you really desire occur in real time.  Do you see yourself occasionally looking at your finances in an intense manner and making improvements where necessary?  That is the mindset or mental toughness that is needed by you if you desire to achieve consistent success throughout your lifetime as you build wealth.

 

Conclusion

It is important that you look out into the horizon and see what lies ahead as far as your financial future is concerned.

 

You must see yourself achieving whatever it is that you want to occur both in your financial life and outside of your financial life!  You must bring into “focus” or “your field of vision” what you want to pursue in a sincere and never relinquishing way–starting today.

 

By frequenting the links on this page, you can bring into your “field of vision” a real pathway to achieve and reach your destination in a way that allows you to give it your absolute best–consistently.

 

You can visualize a new way toward achieving success and you can gain the determination to always give it your best.

Wealth Building 101 (Frequently Asked Questions)

 Learn about common wealth building questions that many have asked over a number of years…

 

Wealth building is a lofty goal and you should be commended for seeking new and possibly more rewarding ways of building wealth.

 

In this discussion TheWealthIncreaser.com will present to you a number of questions that have been asked by clients, visitors and others on a number of sites created by the publisher of this site that TheWealthIncreaser.com feel is important for your financial advancement.

 

Be sure to hone in and focus on the questions that are significant to you at this time as you may find a more effective way to meet your goals and advance forward more efficiently.

 

Common Questions

 

Q: What is umbrella insurance and why should I get that type of coverage?

 

A:  An umbrella insurance policy provides additional liability protection for you in addition to the coverage that you would have on your home and auto liability coverage.

 

It is an affordable option to provide additional protection against liability claims that may come your way during your lifetime that could force you to have to sell your assets, downsize, move to another community, lose your liquid assets and further cause undue headaches that could have been avoided–for in many cases “several hundred dollars” per year.

 

Q: How much life insurance should I get at this time?

 

A:  The amount of life insurance that is needed for you (and others) will vary depending on your age, family size, family structure and your future goals.

 

There are a number of ways to determine the coverage that you may need and they include:

 

  • 10x earnings ($50,000 in annual income multiplied by 10 means I need $500,000 in insurance coverage)

 

  • replacement cost (to pay off my car, house and the student loan that my spouse has been paying on for the last 15 years I need $350,000 in coverage)

 

  • need analysis (to pay off my mortgage and my 5 year old daughters future tuition and provide my wife and my daughter $100,000 cash for a 10 year period I need $1,430,000 in insurance coverage) and

 

  • Several other ways as well

 

Q: Am I able to take money out of my 401k for a down payment on a home?

 

A:  You are able to borrow against your 401k and possibly save in the short term, however there are risks.

 

You risk your retirement income being reduced, and there are potential tax consequences of borrowing against your 401k.  In addition many who borrow against their 401k never manage to pay the loan back.

 

However, legally you are allowed to borrow against your 401k, the question then becomes is it wise to do so—or should I do so at this time—or are there better options that I can take?  A better option may be to utilize your ROTH or Traditional IRA or borrow in other means.

 

Q: After I retire and move to a new state can I lower my taxes?

 

A:  In many cases that is possible as many states have no or low tax rates and if you retired and moved to a new state you would in most cases be taxed at the rate in the state that you reside.

 

However, depending on the state that you moved from—taxes could still be owed and payable to that state.

 

Be sure to investigate further prior to your move on what will apply tax wise in your particular case.

 

Q: What is a healthy debt load for a family of four?

 

A:  The question is pretty much open ended and the answer will depend on your current income.  In general a debt load of 40% or less would be ideal.  However, in some cases compensating factors (a better school district, a more reliable car due to longer commute in your area, environmental factors, relative moving in, other additional income etc.) may lead to you exceeding the debt load of 40%.

 

Keep in mind the 40% debt load includes your housing and other debt.

 

If you make $120,000 annually or $10,000 per month your maximum or ideal monthly debt load would be $4,000 which in some localities would be possible.

 

A housing payment of $2,500 per month with a car payment of $500 per month along with other debt of $1,000 per month where you have roughly $6,000 to utilize in other ways (various monthly expenses, utilities, food, clothing, entertainment, retirement, vacations, investments, education planning etc.) will put you and your family in position for success in many areas and localities.

 

If you make “$60,000 annually”  or $5,000 per month you would be looking at a monthly housing payment of $1,250, a car payment of $250 and other debt of $500 and you would be in great position for lifelong success.

 

If you make “$240,000 annually” or $20,000 per month you would be looking at a monthly housing payment of $5,000, a car payment of $1,000 and other debt of $2,000 and you would be in great position for lifelong success.

 

In high cost cities such as New York and San Francisco you would more than likely have to exceed that 40% ratio—depending on your income.

 

The point is you want to have a debt load that is comfortable for you and allows you to live the lifestyle that you desire and save for your goals in a highly effective manner.

 

As to your family size—college planning, and the cost of raising children must be factored in as well–as that could further reduce your monthly discretionary income.

 

Note: The above numbers are illustrative in nature.  Any combination of housing and debt that is under 40% may be appropriate and the ratios must be interpreted from the money management perspective of the individual and/or  family.  Also, monthly debt as used in this discussion is debt that will exceed 12 months to pay off.

 

Q: How do I know the amount to save for college for my 5-year-old daughter?

 

A:  The amount that you will need will depend on the college, in state or out of state tuition rates and the future value of the amount that you will need.

 

You can then use a number of approaches to reach or exceed that number.  If you fall short you may need to use your current income, take out student loans in your name or your child’s name, or borrow in some other manner.

 

The sooner you get started and the more discretionary income that you have available the more realistic the number that you need to reach can be reached.  In addition it is important that you and your child have an understanding of the pay scale in the current economy related to the major (degree) that they plan on pursuing.

 

You can go to Payscale.com to learn about salary info for selected majors that your child is or will consider in their future…

 

Q: I know I need a will to avoid probate, but how do I know if I need a trust?

 

A:  In many cases a trust is an effective tool for shielding income from taxation and providing a safety net for your heirs.

 

You most definitely need a will, however the decision on whether you need a trust can be a difficult one because it is based on a number of factors–including privacy as a “will”–will be made public (again no pun intended) and a trust will not.

 

Be sure to visit the estate planning page on this site along with All About Estate Planning on Realty 1 Strategic Advisors website to learn more.

 

Q: What is the amount of income that I should save to have retirement income until I reach age 95?

 

A:  Your retirement number will vary depending on your current age, your current  income, your ability to save and your future goals.

 

 You want to save enough to live at your pre-retirement level and take the vacations that you desire at a minimum.

 

In addition you may have other goals such as helping your kids and grandkid’s pursue their dreams as well.

 

This will all play into the “retirement number” that you need to achieve to make the goals that you desire materialize.

Macro & Micro Understanding of the Broader Economy & Your Personal Economy as You Build Wealth

Learn why your general understanding of the overall economy and your understanding of your personal economy is critical as you build wealth…

 

In this discussion TheWealthIncreaseer.com will try to explain what is often difficult for many to interpret (Macro & Micro Economic Theory) and how a meaningful interpretation that makes sense to you can help you in your wealth building efforts (Micro Economics) and allow you to act in a more appropriate manner as a result of your understanding–as you build wealth.

 

Although this discussion is somewhat technical in nature, your comprehension and awareness of the following paragraphs can put you well ahead of those in the general population when it comes to understanding the overall economy and making your personal economy work better for you and your family regardless of market conditions.

 

TheWealthIncreaseer.com will begin by defining general concepts that are needed to help further your understanding of macro and micro economic theory and follow with a discussion on how you can use your newly acquired knowledge to move forward financially at the various points in your life as you deal with the larger economy and your personal finances.

 

MACRO Discussion

Definitions:

 

Macro—“Macroeconomics” a branch of economics dealing with the performance, structure, behavior, and decision-making of an economy as a whole. This includes regional, national, and global economies. It is the part of economics concerned with large-scale or general economic factors, such as interest rates and national productivity.

 

Contrast with:

 

Micro—“ Microeconomics”  the study of individuals, households and firms’ behavior in decision making and allocation of resources. It generally applies to markets of goods and services and deals with individual and economic issues.

 

GDP (Gross Domestic Product)–Written out, the equation for calculating GDP is:

 

GDP = private consumption + gross investment + government investment + government spending + (exports – imports).

 

For the gross domestic product, “gross” means that the GDP measures production regardless of the various uses to which the product can be put.  Real GDP growth is the value of all goods produced in a given year; nominal GDP is value of all the goods taking price changes into account, therefore prepare your mind for the context in which GDP is written or spoken in and interpret properly.

 

Although you will hear a lot about GDP and it is often used as a political football, you can go to the following page to get documented results from 1990 up until 2017.

 

https://www.statista.com/statistics/188165/annual-gdp-growth-of-the-united-states-since-1990/

 

Examples of GDP in selected years:

 

2000—just over 4%

2004—over 2%

2008—negative GDP

2012—just over 2%

2016—less than 2%

2017—over 2%

2018—not available

 

*Note:  In 2008 and 2009 there was negative GDP and from 2010 to the present there has been an up and down movement in GDP, with an upward trend.

 

National Debt–Government debt (also known as public interest, public debtnational debt and sovereign debt) is the debt owed by a government overall.   The United States has continuously had a debt since the 1830’s, however the debt is now at an all time high.

 

The Fiscal Year 2018 U.S. budget deficit is $833 billion. 

The deficit hit a record of $1.4 trillion in the fiscal year 2009 following the years 2007-2009 (great recession era).

 

See chart at the following link to learn more:

 

https://www.statista.com/statistics/187867/public-debt-of-the-united-states-since-1990/

 

By contrast, the annual “government deficit” refers to the difference between government receipts and spending in a single year (discussed below).

 

https://www.statista.com/statistics/200410/surplus-or-deficit-of-the-us-governments-budget-since-2000/

 

Annual Budget Deficit—the U.S. budget deficit by year is how much more the federal government spends than it receives in revenue annually.

 

Prior to the 9/11/2001 time frame there was a government surplus on an ANNUAL basis (see chart), however since that time the government has continuously operated at a deficit on an ANNUAL basis and the national debt has increased yearly!

 

Go to the following TreasuryDirect.gov link to learn more about the National Debt over a number of years:

 

https://www.treasurydirect.gov/govt/reports/pd/histdebt/histdebt_histo5.htm

 

Examples of National debt for selected years:

 

2000–$5.674 trillion.

2004–$7.390 trillion

2008–$10.02 trillion

2012–$16.3 trillion

2016–$19.57 trillion

2017–$20.24 trillion

Current—over $21.48 trillion (click here to see real time debt clock)  

 

Economic Indicators–An economic indicator is a statistic about an economic activity.  Economic indicators allow analysis of economic performance and predictions of future performance.  One of the most important uses and application of economic indicators is the study of business cycles.

 

There are three types of economic indicators: Leading, Lagging and Coincident:

 

1) Leading.  Leading indicators help to predict what the economy will do in the future…

 

2) Lagging.  Lagging indicators confirm what leading indicators predict…

 

3) Coincident.  Coincident indicators move with the economy…

 

Popular leading indicators include average weekly hours worked in manufacturing, new orders for capital goods by manufacturers, and applications for unemployment insurance.

 

Lagging indicators include things like employment rates and consumer confidence. The business cycle always have highs and lows.

 

Coincident indicators include things like your personal income.

 

In summary, leading indicators move ahead of the economic cycle, coincident indicators move with the economy, and lagging indicators trail behind the economic cycle.

 

Examples:

 

LEADING: Signal future events

 

  • Bond Yields (leading)
  • Housing Starts (leading)
  • M2 (Money Supply–leading)
  • Consumer Confidence Survey (leading)

 

LAGGING: Follows an event

 

  • Unemployment Rate (Current Employment Statistics (CES) lagging) see chartnote downward trend in unemployment since the great recession

 

 

 

 

COINCIDENT: Occur at the same time as conditions they signify

 

  • Real GDP (Gross Domestic Product—coincident)
  • Personal income (coincident)
  • Market Index Movement

 

It is important to know the role that GDP, Annual Debt, National Debt and other Economic Indicators play as that knowledge can help you plan better for your future.

 

Additional market indicators include the Dow 30, S&P 500 and other market indices and there performance throughout various countries and regions–as well as the globe.

 

Interest rate movement, the cost to borrow, inflation, stock market movement and other macroeconomic indicators can all help you determine the right moves to make in your life from a micro economic perspective.

 

 

 

MICRO Discussion

Definitions:

 

Micro—“Microeconomics” the study of individuals, households and firms’ behavior in decision making and allocation of resources. It generally applies to markets of goods and services and deals with individual and economic issues, including that of family’s.

Contrast with:

Macro—“Macroeconomics is a branch of economics dealing with the performance, structure, behavior, and decision-making of an economy as a whole. This includes regional, national, and global economies. It is the part of economics concerned with large-scale or general economic factors, such as interest rates and national productivity.

 

Budget or Cash Flow Statement—A personal budget or “home budget” is a finance plan that allocates future personal income towards expenses, savings and debt repayment. Past spending and personal debt are considered when creating a personal budget.

 

personal cash flow statement measures your “cash inflows and outflows” in order to show you your “net cash flow for a specific period of time. Cash inflows generally include the following: Salaries. Interest from savings accounts. Dividends from investments.  Cash outflows generally include: Mortgage payments.  Auto payments. Utility payments.

 

Inflows minus outflows will determine if you have discretionary income or whether your monthly outflows exceed (you would be in the negative) your cash inflows.

 

Net WorthNet worth is the value of all assets, minus the total of all liabilities.  Put another way, net worth is what you own minus what you owe.

 

It is important to know your net worth and and it is important to grow your  net worth over time.

 

Discretionary Income—the money you have after paying for necessary expenses like rent, utilities, and food. It’s what you use to buy non-essentials (goods and services that you have discretion over) throughout the month.

 

Disposable Income—also known as disposable personaincome (DPI), is the amount of money that households have available for spending and saving after income taxes have been accounted for.

 

Personal Credit—Consumer credit is a debt that a person incurs when purchasing a good or service. Consumer credit includes purchases obtained with credit cards, lines of credit and some loans. Consumer credit is also known as consumer debt.  The most common form of consumer credit is a credit card.

 

Emergency Fund—an account for funds set aside in case of the event of a personal financial dilemma, such as the loss of a job, a debilitating illness or a major repair to your home.

 

In the microeconomic area of your life you must have an effective system that allows you to address the following areas in the most beneficial manner as possible:

 

Insurance

Investments

Taxes

Education Planning

Estate Planning/Wills

Retirement Planning

 

By creating a budget, knowing your net worth, effectively managing your credit, properly establishing an emergency fund and managing all areas of your finances at a level that is the best that is within you—you are now on a real path to making your dreams come true.

 

By looking down at the overall economy from a high altitude you now have a better view—and that view also allows you to see your own overall management of your own finances  with more clarity and you are now in position to achieve major success throughout your lifetime.

 

Conclusion

 

Your understanding of the larger economy that you live in as well as your understanding of how you can manage your finances more efficiently will serve your and your family’s greater financial interests in a major way from this day forward.

 

Always realize that there are a number of sources for receiving economic indicator data and one site or source may vary from the other but they will in many cases be going in the same direction but may require in-depth analysis.

 

TheWealthIncreaser.com believes that you no longer have to be confused about financial jargon and how it relates to your wealth building future.  You now have a better understanding of macroeconomics and microeconomics and you can now move forward with confidence as you build wealth.

 

You can put together an effective plan to direct your future in areas that you have control over and make chess type moves in areas that you may not have control over.  You can now direct your future more effectively and control your future outcomes.  You are now in position to act—not react–after the fact–and achieve more with less effort.

 

As you build wealth—you now know how to operate with more precision because you have a meaningful understanding of the Macro Economy in your Country or Region—as well as the Micro Economy that you manage in your own household.

 

You must be aware of wage stagnation and inflation in your nation–and you must know how to integrate your knowledge of the market indicators into an understandable format within your mind.

 

You must understand that a “growing national debt” that is caused by tax cuts, increased government spending and rising interest rates will ultimately lead to the interest on the national debt increasing in ways that may not only be good for your country–but may also be a drain on your personal economy as well.

 

Some market forecasters predict that the interest on the debt will double from 2017 to 2019 and balloon even further after that–therefore,  it is important to have some idea of what effect that may have on your personal economy.

 

Always remember that there are 3 things in your life that are constant:

 

  • Things you can’t control

 

  • Things that you could possibly control but you won’t

 

  • Things that you can control and you can choose to do so or choose not to

 

The microeconomic area of your life provides you the ability to choose option 3 in the affirmative.

 

In the macroeconomic world you will often find yourself with option 1 and/or option 2.

 

By determining at this time that you will manage your finances better—and put together a serious plan of action you are on a path to making life much more enjoyable for yourself and your family in the current economy—or any economy.

 

All the best toward your economic success…
