What circumstances constitute an emergency for you?

The husband and I try to categorize our spending, like paying for cash for everything else and only using the credit card for emergencies. What would emergencies mean for us? These would be hospitalizations, unexpected school expenses and death. However, we set aside about 50% of its credit limit to big purchases – and we snag them whenever there would be a 0% installment rate offered at malls, known as best credit card deals. We really think over it because we cannot get another big ticket item not unless the one we got is fully paid. So we usually just end up paying for it in cash. We really try to make sure our citibank credit cards maintain their good credit standing.

However, it is not too wise to charge every emergency to the credit card, since you might not be able to pay for it in full when it is due and this is where credit card interests, which are huge, kick in. It can become a potentially big problem if one does not know how to manage business credit cards. The point is, make sure that there is actual cash for emergencies and save the big ticket purchases when there is almost half of the amount in your savings.

It seems that we will be saving a lot of money food this year. Since I need to be put on a strict diet to prevent more complications of my already complicated health, eating out would need to take a backseat. Buy Gold Krugerrands coins might even become a possibility because of this! Finally, we might be able to save. We don’t know our financial forecast for the year yet, so we must learn to prioritize things. Investing some of our savings is on top of them. We need a reliable investment just in case we decide to venture into business or buy property,

My aunt is currently trying to decide whether to buy a coin sorter or not. They own a small convenience store and she thinks that getting one will help them a lot. A coin sorter will definitely make counting coins so much easier and faster. With a business like theirs, getting one is almost a necessity. In fact, a coin counter will also be a good idea for them so that they do not even have to sort the coins before putting them inside the coin sorter.
If you are also thinking of getting a coin sorter or even a money counter, below are some reasons why you might want to do so.
• Saves time. Imagine the amount of time you will save if you have this equipment that can quickly sort and count your coins or money for you. If you own a business then these will definitely save you or your employees a lot of time, giving you or your employees more opportunity for other tasks.
• Accuracy. These machines are very, very accurate. In a business, accuracy is important especially in counting the money. Your employees could make a mistake in counting your coins but a coin sorter won’t.

A financial adviser recommended we invest on gold bars instead of gold coins. We are getting ours from the US Gold Bureau.

* Ask some of your friends if they know gold dealer that is reliable and has a good reputation regarding this kind of business.
* Always look for the well known gold dealer or mints.

I have about 8 godchildren and more than 30 nephews and nieces – sum it up and that would spell great trouble for my pockets this Christmas. I was thinking to give out gold coins or cash to the older ones (ages 10 and up) since they know what they want already. I will just buy for the little ones.

Personally though, Id love to get a gold coin collectible for Christmas – it’s a great investment. I can get from the US Gold Bureau.
