Before you can think of
|
||||
<a [routerLink]="['/resources']">long-term investing</a>, you need
|
||||
to have your finances in order. Take a look at Peter's journey to
|
||||
see how you can achieve it, too.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Peter enjoys life, but sometimes he overspends a bit. He realizes it
|
||||
when money runs out already in the middle of the month. Then the
|
||||
next few days become difficult and saving money is out of the
|
||||
question. That is why he wants to plan his monthly budget in the
|
||||
future.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Peter has a decent salary in his job. But as soon as the salary
|
||||
arrives in his account, it melts away. In order to find out where
|
||||
his money is disappearing, he has decided to plan his monthly
|
||||
budget. He wants to be able to put money aside for major expenses
|
||||
and set financial goals.

||||

<h2 class="h4">Keeping a traditional or digital budget book</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
First, Peter obtains an overview of his personal finances. To do so,
|
||||
he starts keeping a budget book. This can be done on paper by
|
||||
listing his income and expenses for a few months, or he can create a
|
||||
simple spreadsheet in Excel. In addition, many credit card providers
|
||||
offer the feature within their apps of having expenses automatically
|
||||
analyzed according to different categories. According to the
|
||||
<a href="https://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfs/en/home.html"
|
||||
>Swiss Federal Statistical Office</a
|
||||
>, households in Switzerland spend around 20 percent of their
|
||||
disposable income on housing and around 10 percent on groceries.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
With the smartphone app, Peter has a better overview of his
|
||||
financial affairs. The application assigns the bookings to
|
||||
individual categories. Peter can assign specific budgets to each of
|
||||
them. This way, he is always informed about how much money he can
|
||||
still spend on restaurant visits in the current month, for example.
|
||||
A traditional method is the so-called
|
||||
<a
|
||||
href="https://www.investopedia.com/envelope-budgeting-system-5208026"
|
||||
>envelope method</a
|
||||
>. One envelope is labeled for each category like groceries, rent or
|
||||
student loans. The monthly budget is put into the envelopes in cash.
|
||||
Many apps offer the same budgeting system in a more convenient,
|
||||
virtual way.

<h2 class="h4">Planning and investing</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If Peter has spent less money than planned on eating out at
|
||||
restaurants, he can set aside the remaining amount. This way, he can
|
||||
treat himself to something special every now and then. From now on,
|
||||
he saves a fixed amount of money in a separate account ("pay
|
||||
yourself first") by standing order at the beginning of the month. As
|
||||
soon as there are three net monthly salaries in the account, he
|
||||
invests the monthly savings amount in a passively managed global
|
||||
equity fund. This grows his assets over the years and allows him to
|
||||
supplement his pension later.

<h2 class="h4">How to achieve your financial goals?</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If you follow these five actionable tips, you can reach your
|
||||
financial goals easier and faster. Start with one tip and when you
|
||||
implement it well, you can try the next one to ultimately have more
|
||||
money at the end of the month.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h3 class="h5">1. Visualize your goals</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Start visualizing your goals. For example, hang up pictures of the
|
||||
travel destination you are saving for. Imagine that you have already
|
||||
achieved the goal to slowly adapt your mindset.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h3 class="h5">2. Write off personal items</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Do as a business does and write off purchases annually. For a new
|
||||
car, you could set aside one-sixth of the purchase price each year.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h3 class="h5">3. Save at the beginning of the month</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Have a savings amount deducted from your account at the beginning of
|
||||
the month. Then you will pay yourself first and spend less money.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h3 class="h5">4. Follow the 50-30-20 rule</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
You need 50 percent of your disposable income for fixed costs. 30
|
||||
percent can be spent on personal needs such as hobbies, travel or
|
||||
consumer electronics. 20 percent is left for savings or to pay off
|
||||
potential debts.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h3 class="h5">5. Track your progress</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If you have any money to spare, invest it in a broadly diversified,
|
||||
low-cost portfolio excluding the risks of individual stocks. Track
|
||||
the progress of your portfolio and net worth with
|
||||
<a href="https://ghostfol.io">Ghostfolio</a>, a web-based personal
|
||||
finance management software.
