MANAGING DIFFICULT TIMES FOLLOWING AN INJURY

Everyone has challenging moments, such as layoffs and injuries, which may occur and for no apparent reason. Although you can’t fully plan for them, anybody and everyone could experience them. Perhaps something trivial that won’t truly affect you. While minor events are more frequent, bigger ones can also happen.

Depending on the injury, you can lose your job for a long time if this happens, anything from months to a year. If these things happen, we might also experience tension because your family might also be impacted.

STARTING A NEW CAREER OR BUSINESS – THINGS TO THINK ABOUT

Finding new ways to generate income whether active or passive is all the buzz right now. We’ve had to learn that traditional salary-based employment may not quite offer us access to the opportunities that we want for our families and nearest and dearest.

“If you can’t understand it, don’t do it” – sage advice from one of the world’s wealthiest men, Warren Buffet. So how then are you supposed to start generating alternative sources of income, or even take on a change of career if you don’t have the coveted degree from a snooty university?

Well, let’s help you start thinking about how to discover your passion. After all, if you find your passion and do it well, the money will often follow.

STRATEGIES FOR MANAGING PORTFOLIO RISK

There is no investment plan without a certain amount of risk. How much risk you are willing to cope with differs between investors. Typically, if you are considering an investment portfolio for the first time, you are likely to be cautious and have low-risk tolerance. 

Seasoned investors and those who can afford to make a loss without affecting their financial stability have a high tolerance for risks. 

But the real question you want to ask when it comes to managing portfolio risk is not how much risk one can safely handle but who determines the risks you face. Indeed, there will be a variety of risks on the way when you start building an investment portfolio. But being in a position to recognise these risks is not something that most new investors can do. So whose job is it to tell people about the risk of their investment portfolio? The answer varies depending on the type of portfolio you have and your attitude towards risks.

The Best Way to Write a Personal Statement

Whether you’re applying to university as a mature student, or are helping your teen prepare for higher education, you’re probably well aware of the importance of a good personal statement. They’re often the document upon which an admission offer is made, in the same way in which a cover letter is instrumental in helping you secure the job of your dreams.

While it may seem relatively simple to write a personal statement, more work needs to go into them than first meets the eye. After all, while they must be relatively short (a maximum of 4,000 characters long), this means that you have to say quite a lot within a short space, which can prove difficult. 

With that in mind, here is the best way to write a personal statement.

LITTLE TRICKS TO HELP YOU FIGHT YOUR WAY OUT OF DEBT

Even the most resilient individuals might find themselves in a terrible financial situation. Unfortunately, lenders are enabling consumers to have loans with them without doing basic financial checks, which makes it much too simple to get oneself into debt in this day and age. The truth is, they are well aware that, irrespective of your financial status, they will ultimately be able to recover the money owing to them since they have the ability to submit missed payments to collection agencies.

Despite your best efforts, it is quite unlikely that you will be able to pay off all of your debt in a single day. When debts start to pile up, it can be hard to deal with them all at once. However, there are some things you can do right away to relieve some of the stress and start the process of paying them off.

THE BEST WAYS TO SPEND YOUR BONUS

When we’re seeking a new job, most of us will now factor in benefits packages that include everything from private healthcare to generous holidays and, of course, all-important bonuses. After all, the job market is increasingly competitive, and these things can both help to distinguish the best employers and ensure the happiest financial situations. 

Luckily, most modern employers are aware of this, meaning that bonuses up to an average of £2k are now pretty standard across the job market, while the best employers may even extend those bonus benefits with things like the welcome bonus offers you can expect when considering, say, care home jobs as offered by companies like Agincare careers. All of this is great news for your bank balance. Or at least, it can be if you take the wisest routes when it comes to bonus spending. 

While there is, of course, some merit in using a bonus for treats like vacations instead of your wages themselves, the reality is that there are far wiser ways to make the most of this money, the best of which we’ll consider here.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT BEFORE MOVING HOUSE

Moving is an expensive and complex process that we all go through, but it shouldn’t be done on the spur of the moment. Before making the jump, there are various factors to consider, including the obvious such as cutting costs where possible.
