I am delighted that the plans go well.
On Sunday morning I went to get a cable to a friend who organized a sporting event. My job was to teach, to print and sell the photos to the parents of the participants in the tests. At the end of the photos that we had been sold, were 56 and asked him if that were great or small. (I wanted to know if he had done well as my work and my face was enrobinada of business) and their response was that no idea, they had not done so ever before and that they had not done any planning or anticipation.
I had to bite the tongue so as not to leave the forum and financial partner that runs inside tell us what is important for the planning and setting goals and objectives.
If I do not know where you want to get there, as you know if you go right?
If I do not know where you are going, like to know the direction to take?
¿Gano enough money? Well, I guess that is a function of the money I need right?
Sometimes it may seem that the "Planning" consists of lengthy meetings that are held in glass skyscraper by chic s JASPE @ @ s and senior ejecutiv, and where giant whiteboards are used where more arrows are drawn into the arms of The Falange, but planning is much simpler and is a very healthy exercise and especially necessary in lean seasons.
You just need an Excel, a first column with the concepts of income and expenditure, and a front row with the months of the year. Exploring a bit by the bank receipts and extrapolated to apply the CPI over the past consumption, try to know the future, reducing uncertainty for decision making and increase our level of success.
Can we have a child? (Economically speaking)
Can we change the car?
How much we will have saved at year's end?
We raise a fictional situation.
Two mileuristas 1050 +1050 net monthly pay 1000 € mortgage, have two cars, with its two insurance revisions and gasoline, plus all the water consumption, electricity gas, etc ..., eat and smoke, and they want to dine out two times a month. They take coffee in the bar every day. Have in the bank € 500 saved in advance
A priori, it seems that will not be able to keep the train of life they seek, let alone save. One afternoon, preparing a cafetito and sit at the computer, with the bank's archive on the table and begin to review expenditures of the previous year, and will fill a table. Surprisingly get the numbers better than we thought, and even decide to create a new line savings.
To sample a button:
As you can see, there are months when the monthly balance is negative, meaning that spends more than what is paid, and a month including the bank balance is negative (April) but it is a balance (125 €) that could be overcome without problems paying on credit purchases of the last month (the cards are not bad, we bad).
Observe that are not included or playstations, or gps, or shares a serie1 ... etc, as each family unit should know where to reach their economic potential and not stretching his arm over the sleeve to tighten the noose no more than the account .
If the forecasts are fulfilled, having met the minimum consumption, despite having completed concept as "costs not covered" 100 € per month (which does not happen remaining balance for the next month), can reach the end of the year with a deposit 4000 € and a balance in the bank account from 1850 €. This will allow us to purchase for cash at the beginning of next year a play, a plasma or take no more troubles raise the quota.
Another thing worth noting is that in order to lead a balanced life financially, the overtime pay should be preserve, or at least partially, as well as repayments of finance. Pateárselas is financial suicide, since the slightest unforeseen, will force us to enter the "great ball of fire" of the credit. The months in which there is extra income, is played with the savings to divert funds into the deposit and not fall into temptation unnecessary in the mall if they have too much balance in the account.
It is true that the planning for this jump, but if we are going to monitor our monthly or quarterly statement of accounts, and comparing it with what we had anticipated, we can get to know if we are good or bad. For example, it seems no one trip, but how much we can spend?. With the table is made of matter begin to change numbers on the table to know whether we should cut back on another site and the impact that spending the extra round of the needed vacation.
Sometimes concepts truism, but only that the speech "that someone would take the idea and be surprised, there will be worthwhile.
And finally the usual press summary:
- U.S. comes to the rescue of Fannie and Freddie
- Until the bars noticed the crisis
- Corbacho: "It makes no sense to look for masons in Rabat if here are unemployed"
- ¿Bolsa yes or no? Experts do not rule out a Ibex in the 9,000 in a year
- Zapatero announced that minimum pensions will rise by 6% in 2009

Good morning, everyone s!
Carlos thank you very much for today's article. You are certainly right that the simplest things are sometimes the hardest to see. If all we were planning and simple, there would be fewer problems to reach the end of the month.
Greetings
