What Does Being ‘Good with Money’ Actually Look Like?

What Does Being ‘Good with Money’ Actually Look Like?

Personal Finance  / Zina Kumok

People tend to talk about being financially savvy in a black and white way. You’re either good with money or you’re not.  But as with most things related to your finances, it’s a little more complicated than that. You could be great at earning money and terrible at saving it – or vice versa. You could have an impressive net worth and a terrible credit score. You could be the world’s greatest budgeter and the world’s worst investor.

In other words, being “good with money” can mean a lot of things. Let’s take a look at some of the most important factors to consider.

Metrics to Track

While there’s not a single figure that shows you’re good with money, there are some numbers you can track to see how you’re doing (Mint tracks these for you):

Net Worth

Your net worth is your total assets minus your liabilities. Assets include the money in your bank accounts, investment accounts, collectible items, home equity and more. Liabilities include what you owe, like your credit card balance, auto loans, student loans, mortgage balance and more.

To calculate your net worth, add up your assets and liabilities separately. Then, subtract the liabilities from the assets. Don’t be surprised if your net worth is negative. That means you owe more money than you currently have. Recent graduates and young adults often have a negative net worth, especially if they have a lot of student loans.

But as you get older, your net worth should increase as you pay down debt and start investing consistently. Try to track your net worth a couple times a year. You can create your own spreadsheet or use Mint’s net worth tracker.

“Over time you will see your assets really starting to grow,” said Ryan C. Phillips, CFA, CFP, and founder of GuidePoint Financial Planning. “The success from this can be really motivating and many times will lead individuals to save and invest even more.”

Credit Score

Your credit score shows how responsible you are as a borrower. Potential lenders, utility companies, cell phone providers, car insurance companies and landlords will look at your credit score before approving you.

A credit score doesn’t take your savings rate or investment success into account, so it’s not a holistic number. But it does show if you’re good at borrowing money and paying it back. Even if you plan to avoid taking out loans, you may still need a good credit score.

Millions Of Dollars In Economic Losses As A Result Of Official Holidays In Iraq

Posted On2022-02-28 By Sotaliraq  Official and unofficial holidays imposed by special circumstances, the treasury of Iraq incurred financial losses in the millions of dollars for each holiday, according to economic experts, as a result of not compensating the working hours in its departments and institutions. In numbers, 48 ​​weeks in a year,

Two days out of each week are an official holiday, so the total holidays (Friday and Saturday) are 96 days per year, plus (22) official occasions per year, so the total holidays in this case will exceed 118 days per year, not counting the days of religious occasions and emergency holidays. which are announced by the government, which fall within the jurisdiction of the local governments in each governorate, nor are the partial holidays declared by endowments.

The Ministry of Culture intends to prepare a new draft law for official holidays, in consultation with cultural, political and parliamentary parties from the various components of the people, to follow specific criteria in choosing these days and work to reduce them.

Through this law, the ministry aims to unify official holidays and make them federal and withdraw the powers of governors by granting holidays in their governorates, in addition to addressing the negative effects of holidays in the country at various levels, and reducing them by half.

Great Economic Losses

The economist, Haitham Al-Akaili, found that “vacation is a stop for workers to rest when they work and there are clear results for their work, and that this disruption is calculated from within the work time, but when there are no clear results for the work, the holidays are losses that are added to the other losses that they incur. The state".

Al-Akaili said, during his speech to (Al-Mada), that “working hours and wages are among the most important elements of costs for any activity. Therefore, when a specific wage is to be calculated for working hours, the actual working hours decrease, the higher the hourly wage without any increase in production.”

He explained that "in an economy such as Iraq's, whose features and goals are not clearly known, holidays of all kinds, which constitute 30-35% of the working hours for which workers are paid, are a waste of money and a waste of opportunities for progress that Iraq is currently in dire need of. He stressed the need to "reconsider the holiday laws in order to compensate for missed opportunities."

An Increase In The Number Of Unemployment

In turn, the economist, Thaer Al-Faili, considered that the official and unofficial holidays in the country caused an increase in disguised unemployment and great losses for the state, stressing that the problem is not on the weekend, because it is very important, but in the large number of other holidays caused by occasions, holidays and emergency situations. and others.

Al-Faili stated, during his speech to (Al-Mada), that "official holidays are considered unfair to the private sector, which does not enjoy the same, and that the private sector employee enjoys one day off for every week, and sometimes he does not enjoy it at all, while the sector employee continues The government enjoys two days off for every week.”

He pointed out that "official and unofficial holidays negatively affect the sustainability of the national economy," noting that "there are many holidays that are granted without account, which indicates the existence of professional ignorance in the country's administrative leadership."

The Need For Modifications

In addition, the legal expert, Ali Al-Tamimi, believes that “the text of the Official Holidays Law 110 of 1972 in Iraq does not allow for disruption of work hours due to cold or high temperatures.” In an interview with Al-Mada, Al-Tamimi added, "Parliament needs to amend this law, which gives the authority to grant official holidays to the President of the Republic, as it was before 2003."

The legal expert pointed out that “this law needs to be amended,” adding, “The law must have a clear vision regarding determining (when the weather holiday is granted and at what temperature, as well as the percentage of work hours in the month of Ramadan, and other occasions).”

He concluded his speech by saying that "there are many countries in the world disrupting official working hours with a temperature of 35, while in Iraq it reaches 52 and more and it does not disrupt working hours in government institutions."   LINK

Washington: Iraq Has Fulfilled Its International Obligations To Compensate All Compensation Claimants

Today, Sunday, the US State Department confirmed that Iraq enjoys close relations with its neighbors.

State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a statement, "The United States welcomes the recent United Nations Security Council resolution that reaffirms that Iraq has fulfilled its international obligations to compensate all compensation awardees through the United Nations Compensation Commission established in 1991 as a result of Saddam Hussein's illegal invasion and occupation of Kuwait."

The Fed & Wall Street Are Always Wrong, Stagflation Setting In Economy Crumbles As Inflation Soars

Silver Report Uncut:  Feb.28, 2022

Wall Street and Fed missed inflation by a long shot: in mid-October of 2021 economists were predicting 5.25% inflation by December—two months later.

The same economists predicted supply chains will be cleared by June this year and they are worse than ever. I think I may know why they are always wrong, they dont want you to know the truth.

Samson:  An Economist Explains The Repercussions Of Removing Russia From “Swift” On Iraq

28th February, 2022

The economic expert, Nabil Al-Marsawi, presented, on Monday, a detailed explanation of the damage that Russia’s exit from the “Swift” financial system may have on the energy sector in Iraq, indicating that most Russian investments in Iraq, especially companies operating in the oil licensing fields, will be affected.

In a post on his Facebook page, Al Marsoumi said, “The SWIFT system, which is the abbreviated name of the Association for Financial Communications between Banks in the World, links more than 11,000 financial institutions operating in more than 200 countries, making them the backbone of the world’s remittance system. It is the most powerful financial weapon with which any country can be punished, as it will cut off the country from a large part of the global financial system. 

Russia is the second largest country within “SWIFT” in terms of the number of users after the United States, and the volume of financial transactions linked to Russia through “SWIFT” reaches hundreds of billions of dollars annually.

He added that “taking Russia out of Swift will damage Russian trade and will make it difficult for Russian companies to do business as their banks will not be able to communicate securely with banks outside their borders.”

Al-Marsoumi explained, “The Asian market imports two-thirds of Iraq’s crude oil exports, especially India and China, as Russia will offer Urals crude similar to Basra medium crude at reduced prices, which may cause Iraq to lose part of its market share in Asia, while Iraq can increase its oil exports. to European markets, especially in light of the high costs of shipping and insurance on Russian oil exports. He added, “On the other hand, there are very large Russian investments in the Iraqi oil and gas sector, as Rosneft owns 60% of the Kurdistan oil pipeline, which is the main operational export line in Iraq. Rosneft is also constructing a new gas pipeline whose export capacity is expected to reach 30 billion cubic meters of gas per year, which represents about 6% of the total gas demand in Europe. Also, the Russian companies represented by Lukoil, Gazprom and Rosneft are investing in the West Qurna/2, Badra, Block-10 and some fields of Kurdistan.”

Al-Marsoumi pointed out that “most of the Russian investments in Iraq, especially the companies operating in the oil licensing fields, who pay their costs and profits in kind, that is, in return for a certain amount of oil produced, have been affected, in addition to other difficulties related to how Russian companies implement their secondary contracts with other companies and how to finance them, which requires searching for a mechanism.” new ones to settle accounts with the Iraqi government, or this may lead to the withdrawal of Russian companies from the Iraqi fields.”  LINK

Shybaby:  Economist: Popular Pressure May Lead To An Adjustment In The Dollar Exchange Rate

The researcher in economic affairs, Nabil Jabbar Al-Ali, expected, on Sunday, that popular pressure on measures to change the exchange rate would result within an acceptable monetary range, to contribute to reducing pressure on individuals’ incomes due to the increase in inflation.

Al-Ali said in a statement to “Information” that “the consumer price inflation pushed him to resentment even more, calling on the political forces to amend the exchange rate, especially after the rise in oil prices, exceeding $95.” He added that “the issue of exchange formed a kind of political competition between Shiite political forces, in particular, to try to please the Iraqi people and win their affection.”

'The 55 Day Rule' Expires Tomorrow (Monday 2-27-22)

'The 55 Day Rule' Expires Tomorrow (Monday 2-27-22)

By Tyler Durden  Sunday, Feb 27, 2022 - 05:10 PM

Option Strategist.com's Lawrence G. McMillan makes an interesting observation...

Most people don’t realize that the Crash of 1929 and the Crash of 1987 both occurred exactly 55 calendar days after the stock market had topped.  All prices in this article are closing prices on the day being referenced.

1929: the peak in the Dow was reached on September 3rd, when it closed at 381.17.

55 calendar days after September 3rd was (Monday) October 28th. That was the exact date of the Crash of 1929, with the Dow down 40.58 points, or 13.5%.

1987: the Dow topped out at 2722.42 on August 25th.

55 calendar days later was (Monday) October 19th when the Dow collapsed 507.99 points, or 22.6% in one day!

This year, the Dow topped out on January 4th, and...

55 days later is Monday (!) February 28th.

In both 1929 and 1987, there was a sharp market decline in the week preceding the Crash, so that is something else to watch for.

These Crashes just didn’t appear out of thin air.
