Capital Management Services- 8 Simple Money Management Tips As my dear old grandmother used to say, save 30%, use 30% to pay bills , enjoy the 30%, and always hold 10% for emergencies.. Home economics at its humble best, but if you stick to it, and as a rule of thumb this genuinely works. But let us dig deeper and look at specific, shrewd and basic money management tips which will compliment your life’s financial balance sheet - Accounts payable and receivables.

Create A Budget This common sense move is vitally important as you have to know where every single dollar comes from and where it is going. Take it from me this will make a huge difference to the management of your money. Once you have created your budget, abide by it at all times. Track Your Net Worth & Money Goals Invariably this will entail redeeming outstanding debts, or saving for a house deposit or, that dream holiday you have always wanted. Once you do this, it will prove to be an eye opener and more so when you see the numbers change monthly. Organize Your Savings & Investments Quite simply, it is not wise having all your money in one account. Have a short term savings account, a long term savings account and finally, an emergency account which is easily accessible. Look at investment products which pay a fixed income and compound this income. Max out your annual tax free investment allowances. Automate Pay as much as possible by way of direct debit, including but not necessarily limited to debt obligations, but rather investments as well. This is quick, easy and simple and far from time consuming.
