Call accounting and telecom billing software provides many business benefits that can both save money, as well as help businesses generate revenue
Call accounting and telecom billing software provides many business benefits that can both save money, as well as help businesses generate revenue. A feature-rich call accounting software can provide many business benefits, such as:
· Long Distance Bill Verification: Was the bill from your chosen long distance phone company accurate? Mostly, it isn't. Using a call accounting system to check your long distance gives you some peace of mind - and documentation to back up your request for a refund of overpayments you may have made.
· Motivate sales people: The more phone calls they make, the more they sell. Keep track of their call volume and manage them accordingly.
· Bill Clients and Projects back for telephone charges incurred on their behalf: Every lawyer, government contractor, etc. does it. It makes sense.
· Allocate telephone calling costs among departments and divisions: Telephones - voice, data, video and imaging - are some of your biggest expenses. They're a cost that should be allocated to the products you are making, or the departments and divisions in your company. Telephone costs can determine which product is profitable. Which isn't. A software company recently dropped one of its three "big" software packages because phone calls for support got too expensive.
· Control Telephone Misuse: The rates for calling can vary widely depending on your carrier rate, the route the call takes, who makes the dialing decision...a call accounting system is a good check to see if you are spending money needlessly.
If your business isn’t using a call accounting or telecom expense management software, you could be losing money.

Accounting Positions
When most people think of accounting, what comes to mind is usually basic information that's not particularly interesting or beneficial. But there's a lot more to accounting than just the basics.
Computers have changed the way accountants and auditors do their job. Accountants can use special software packages to do transactions in basic formats for financial records. Using software they can organize data in financial analysis. This greatly reduces the amount of tedious manual work of recordkeeping and data management. Accountants can use computers to receive their clients' information by using the internet. Because of this accountants and auditors can utilize these computer skills in correcting problems with software or in developing specific software for data management and bookkeeping. This allow accountants also to perform more technical duties such as analyzing and devising budgets.
Nowadays, many accountants are also taking on the role of a personal financial advisor. They help their clients with their personal budgets. They can help them manage their assets and investments so they can plan for retirement. It is almost like having a personal fitness coach but instead of getting your body in shape they help you get your finances in shape.
With the help of accountants and auditors our Nation’s firms are run more efficiently. The public records are kept more accurately, and they can help them to pay their taxes correctly and on time. Accountants and auditors can offer services which include budget analysis, financial and investment planning, computer software for recordkeeping and limited legal services.
Once you begin to move beyond basic background information, you begin to realize that there's more to accounting than you may have first thought. Specific job duties vary widely among the four major fields of accounting: public, management, and government accounting and internal auditing.
Are you looking for some inside information on accounting? Here's an up-to-date report from accounting experts who should know.
Some public accountants specialize in forensic accounting—investigating and interpreting white-collar crimes such as securities fraud and embezzlement, bankruptcies and contract disputes, and sometimes criminal financial transactions by organized criminals in money laundering. Forensic accountants combine their knowledge of accounting and finance with law and investigative techniques in order to determine whether an activity is illegal. Law enforcement personnel and lawyers often work closely with forensic accountants during investigations and many times they appear as expert witnesses during trials.
The only way to keep up with the latest about accounting is to constantly stay on the lookout for new information. If you read everything you find about accounting, it won't take long for you to become an influential authority.
Because of the internet many self-employed accountants may be able to do part of their work at home. Public or government accountants and auditors may have to travel frequently to perform audits at branches for their firms, clients’ places of business, or government facilities.
Most accountants and auditors usually work a standard 40-hour week, but self-employed accountants may work longer if they have many clients. Tax specialists often work long hours during the tax season.
Because of recent accounting scandals, new Federal legislation restricts the nonauditing services that public accountants can provide to clients. If an accounting firm audits a client’s financial statements, that same firm cannot provide advice on human resources, investments, technical, or legal matters, although accountants may still advise on tax issues, such as establishing a tax shelter.
As you can see there are many different accounting positions in public, private, and government areas.

iCatchITs Expanded Accounting Outsourcing Services
Cebu City, Philippines (PRWEB) May 7, 2006 –- There is fragmentation in the way accounting services are outsourced and the American BPO firm, iCatchIT , led by CEO Jonathan Corners, is doing something about it. iCatchIT announced the expansion of their accounting services, adding A/P, A/R, Payroll and Tax Accounting Outsourcing to their existing G/L services. Making the statement last May 2 at their site in Nasipit, Cebu, Mr. Corners said, “We will transform our offshore outsourced bookkeeping services into a One-Source Accounting Solution for a broad range of accounting needs.” He said, further, “Our success in offering General Ledger (G/L) services and client demand have prompted us to add these additional services.”
ICatchIT is an offshore outsourcing firm that also now offers Six Sigma Quality Control in all of its accounting packages. Jonathan added, “Six Sigma is a robust technology that gives the client essentially error free accounting and we are happy to add this to our collection of tools to service the Accounting Community.” ICatchIT has hired additional personnel, including new CPAs as well as bookkeepers, anticipating increased demand.
The new services will be a one-stop resource for account managers and accountants. Currently, many organizations need to use different vendors to do various accounting functions: one vendor does Payroll, another Receivables, and yet another Payables. There is a definite need in the industry to consolidate these functions in a single shop, making accountability, dependability, and account maintenance streamlined and more flexible. iCatchIT offers SLAs that can incorporate any or all of these sometimes problematic processes.

Payroll Accounting Options for the Small Business
Payroll accounting is often a source of great stress for small business owners. There are several options available to small businesses when it comes to computing payroll, but one option far outshines the rest.
Luckily for us that day will never come. Software programs can do amazing things, but they are still limited and usually still require a human to operate them. They are also limited in the fact that they are sometimes difficult to use. This can be especially true with payroll accounting software that often requires some accounting knowledge to correctly operate it.
Once your information has been sent your payroll is calculated for you, including all deductions and tax withholdings. All pay vouchers, checks and reports are then sent to your business and are also available for online viewing. If errors have been made the company you have outsourced to usually pays the fees and answer any questions regarding your payroll that may be posed by taxing agencies. Internet based payroll is an excellent solution to any small business payroll accounting problems.

Call Accounting Big Brother or Big Benefits
While some employees might feel that a call accounting system means they are being watched, when properly implemented and applied, a call accounting system can actually be a career booster. It can produce valuable reports that benefit virtually every department in the company.
Here are few ways your business could use this data:
Finance
Many organizations would like to allocate or “charge back" each department their costs based on their actual usage. A good call accounting system can allow the finance department to do just that.
Customer Service
Good customer service depends on communication. Most call accounting systems can tell you whether your sales reps or customer service reps are calling their accounts frequently enough.
Telecom
The right call accounting system will track telephone call activity generated by any type and any number of PBX's from the source of the call record to the assignment of accountability. It analyzes call activity (CDR) for your entire enterprise, domestic and international, from a single centralized system. All information is collected in real-time and is immediately available for viewing and reporting – an essential support for telecom expense management throughout the enterprise.
Your call accounting reports can be very valuable in tracking phone billing. It can help explain anomalies in phone bill amounts and show call activity increases in a department.
Toll fraud
In this day and age of corporate espionage, the importance of tracking the call accounting to get at the source of a call, and detecting internal or external toll fraud has escalated in priority for many CEOs in today's heightened security-conscious climate. According to a study by the American Society for Industrial Security, industrial espionage could account for potential losses for all American industry of as much as $63 billion. The actual dollar amount is heavily debated, but everyone agrees that the problem can't be taken lightly. Toll Fraud alone costs the American economy $5 billion annually.
The security module of your call accounting system can manage access to system features and database data. An administrator can limit the options available to a specific user and can place restrictions on data records that a user can view and/or edit minimizing the risks of toll fraud.

The Accounting Equation
As an entrepreneur, who are thinking of going into business, or who is already conducting business, you have to start learning about the basic concepts of Accounting because they are the concepts that are used in reporting your business activities to the government come tax time. It is time you must know about one of the most fundamental concepts in accounting.
Accountants process data into documents called financial statements. It is the accounting equation that is the basis for the entire accounting system.
So what is this magical equation?
The Accounting Equation is:
ASSETS = LIABILITIES + OWNERS' EQUITY.
In crude definition,
ASSETS are economic resources of the business that are expected to bring benefits for the business in the future.
LIABILITIES are economic resources borrowed by the business from another person or an organization.
OWNERS' EQUITY is the economic resources that was contributed by the owners of the business to the business.
One way of thinking of this equation is that the left side is what the business has including its money, equipment, building, land, furniture, etc... The right side indicates where these assets had come from. Were they borrowed from parties outside the business, or were they contributed by the people who own the business.
The other version of this equation, that you might bump into is the:
ASSETS - LIABILITIES = OWNERS' EQUITY.
In other words, if the business's assets pay off all its liabilities, you are left with a figure that indicates the economic resources that belongs to the business's owner.
It is pretty much the same thing, a concept of transposition in algebra.
If you take a look at a business's BALANCE SHEET - or what is now modernly called as A STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION - you'll notice that all the items in there are arranged following this accounting equation in either one of its versions.
Of course in a BALANCE SHEET, it is written vertically, instead of horizontally as it is in the equation.
You'll see the items arranged somewhat as:
ASSETS XXX LIABILITIES YYY OWNERS EQUITY ZZZ
Where, XXX = YYY + ZZZ.
So, next time you see a balance sheet aka statement of financial position, take the time to recognize this logic.

Overview of Accounting and Accountants
Accounting is a very important part of a business. As an entrepreneur, you either do it yourself or get someone else to do it for you. I have included this article for
freelancers to have a very broad outline of the accounting profession. With this you can at least appreciate the discipline as well as its role in your business. As your business grows, the distinctions between the different types of accounting will become increasingly important.
When you are first starting, the only form of accounting you'll ever meet would probably be record-keeping and bookkeeping. This is the part where you record the sales you've received and the expenses you have made using receipts, invoices, cheques and other transactions source documents.
Firstly, what is accounting?
For most people, accounting does not concern them because they think of it as a laborious activity performed by people who are 'good with numbers'. Accounting is often confused with the narrow concepts of record-keeping and bookkeeping.
Accounting of course is much broader than that. "Accounting is the system that measures business activities, processes that information into reports and communicates these findings to decision-makers" . The accounting system produces financial statements that report on an individual's or an organization's business in monetary amounts.
Who Uses Accounting Information?
1. Individuals, 2. Businesses, 3. Investors and Creditors, 4. Government Agencies, 5. Taxing Authorities, 6. Non-Profit Organizations and 7. Other Users including employees, consumer groups, labour unions and the general public.
The Types of Accountants and The Specialized Services Performed By Them:
1. Private accountants - These work for single organizations. They may perform cost accounting, budgeting, information systems design, internal auditing, financial accounting and management accounting; 2. Public accountants - These serve the general public. They may perform specialized services such as auditing, tax accounting and management consulting.
For small business owners, the areas that would occupy most of your time is financial and management accounting. Financial accounting provides information to people outside the business including creditors and the government for tax purposes. Management accounting generates information for you, the person who manages the operations of the business. This will produce how much you are spending on manufacturing your products or providing your services in a way that you can see where you are lacking and where your are doing well on.

Small Business Accounting 101
If you are in business, then guess what you are either an accountant by default or you need to hire one. Why? People ask that question while letting the year roll by until taxes come due. Oh no! Why do I have penalties?
Simple, you are not an accountant and you should have hired on. So the first rule of business accounting is to hire one if you are not one. Second rule of business accounting is to hire an accountant to review your accounting before filing taxes.
Most individuals starting a business are unaware that the filing deadlines for corporations and small businesses are different from personal filings. While personal income tax returns are due in April. Corporate and business tax returns are due in March. His often leads to many late fees and so forth associated with late filing penalties.
Keeping good records is another concern for most new business owners starting out. Many new business owners do not understand the tax code and do not understand what can be written off as an expense and what cannot be written off as an expense. These small errors will also lead to penalties and additional fees associated with your filings.
Make sure to keep all receipts or online order forms for later reference and keep them organized. There is nothing worse than the end of the year sorting festival. Receipts get lost and records can be incomplete if not taken seriously. Do under estimate the power of organization and the process of organizing your records. Keep them tight!
Giving to charity must also be carefully monitored and accounted for by both parties. The philanthropist and the charity should both get a receipt and have good records. If you give time then keep good logs of your time and have the charity you donate to accept and sign for your log. You need a receipt!
Warning! Take great care not to fabricate or provide false deduction information. If you claim a deduction make sure your records are in order and you are prepared to be questioned if such questions arise. The practice of over filing expenses with the federal government and fabrication of records is a federal offense and can carry legal ramifications beyond penalties and fines.
In fact you can be imprisoned for fabrication of any information regarding your taxes. Going to prison for bad record keeping? Now that is a bad way to end a fiscal year.
Keeping track of money coming in is as much of an issue as keeping track of money going out. Simple bank statement preservation can go a long way to keeping things on track for your new business. Keep them in a “safe” place preferably a fire proof safe if possible. Remember all the responsibility rests squarely on your shoulders no on else's. The federal government does not care if your building burns to the ground before the tax year is over. You are still responsible for your taxes and the ramifications for not filing can be expensive ones.
Good accounting software should be your first stop if you plan to keep you own accounting records. There are several packages out there some are expensive and some a cheap. Pick one that meets your needs best not the biggest just because it appears to be the most expensive or the one with the most features. Remember, you have to learn how it works in order to keep good records. So keep in mind your own personal limitations when purchasing accounting software.
Finally, if you accept cash then document the transaction with a receipt. Never take cash without a receipt and always claim your cash receipts at the end of the year. After all, the greatest Mafia bosses and organized criminals of our time were not prosecuted for murder or the other hideous crimes they were in charge of. They were imprisoned for not filing taxes on cash receipts.
A good accountant can help you to avoid penalties and over taxation. Hire one they are worth every penny in the long run.

Accounting Methods Cash and Accrual
When starting a business, you have to determine the method you are going to use for accounting and paying taxes. The two choices are the cash method and the accrual method.
Cash Method
If you are looking for simplicity, the cash method is probably your best accounting choice. Generally, income and deductions can be claimed when payment is actually received or made. This is best shown with an example.
I open a small business and have to order business cards and stationary. I receive the products and pay the invoice on November 18, 2005. Under the cash method, I can deduct the cost on my 2005 tax return.
Some businesses are restricted from using the cash method. C corporations may only use the cash method if they have less than $5 million in gross revenues for a particular year. Professional Service Corporations can use the cash method without limit, while farming corporations can due so if gross revenues are less than $25 million. Tax shelters are prohibited from using the cash method.
Accrual Method
The Accrual Method of accounting is a bit more complex. Under this method, the focus in on the date the expense is incurred, not paid. Although this may seem a small difference, it can play havoc with your books and piece of mind.
Using our previous example, assume I order business cards and stationary on the December 18, 2005. I receive the products on December 30th, but don’t pay the invoice until January 20, 2006. When can the expense be claimed? It depends on when economic performance occurred.
Generally, economic performance occurs when goods or services are provided to you. In the above example, economic performance would arguably occur when the business cards and stationary were delivered with the invoice on December 30th. Thus, I would be able to deduct the expense for the 2005 tax year.
In Closing
As you can see, the cash method is the easier of the two accounting methods. To determine the best method for your business, speak with a tax professional.

Are You A Good Sales Engineer
Graduates and experienced IT professionals who want to mix their sales and technical backgrounds should learn more about sales engineer positions. Sales engineers, often called technical sales support workers, sell computer hardware, software, and services to end users of all sizes. Professionals who work as sales engineers first show potential clients how their company’s products and services are better or different from competing companies. While sales techniques are important toward selling products like computers and networking equipment, technical demonstrations are key to closing the deal. Sales engineers set up models or sample copies of their product, demonstrate the product’s usage to clients, and answer questions about technical issues.
Sales engineer positions are plentiful in the United Kingdom and Europe. While there are many positions for IT professionals to apply for, there is also increased competition and higher hiring standards for sales engineers. More and more UK and European graduates are coupling their interest in sales and technology, leaving universities for sales engineer positions throughout the continent. As well, companies are beginning to realize that it takes a special talent to function well as a sales engineer. Companies and professionals alike who want to find the right sales engineer connection should consult with ITS European.

Adverse credit car loans life does not stop at your credit score
Life does not have a dead end...it always moves on. Yes, there are times of trials and tribulations in one's life. But then 'every cloud has a silver lining'. For people suffering from adverse credit, life becomes a bottleneck. They forget to dream because they think that their tainted credit history will never enable them to materialize the dreams. Many people are in urgent need of a car to cope up with the demands of today's hectic routine. However, they are unable to meet this requirement due to inability to arrange for finance owing to their adverse credit history. Lenders associate a high risk with people having a tarnished credit record. They cannot trust such borrowers and thus are reluctant to grant loans to them.
However, things are getting better for bad creditors. Lenders are realising the fact that the poor creditors do present a profitable consumer segment that can result in good business if served intelligently.
Nowadays, many lenders offer adverse credit car loans especially designed for people having a bad credit history. These loans carry a higher rate of interest to compensate the risk associated with poor creditors. The terms and conditions are also quite strict to ensure timely repayment of the loan amount. So, if you are planning to apply for adverse credit car loans, make sure that you have the financial capability to bear the monthly instalments comfortably. First, decide the amount you can shell out every month for paying the car loan instalments. Depending on this budget, select the model of car that meets your requirements most closely. Next, do a thorough research on the various deals of adverse credit car loans available in the market. This will help you to get a competitive deal in terms of APR, thereby helping you to save a significant amount of money in the long term.

Smart Businesses use Off Shore Merchant Accounts
There are plenty of smart and legal business accounting practices that can help you make the most of your money. One of those practices is to use off shore merchant accounts for your credit card processing needs. Not only can these types of accounts save you money, but also they are legal and they often provide service that is at the same level of service, or better, as the service you get on shore.
In the present day context credit card processing ability is almost a necessity for big and small businesses alike. Most people prefer to pay with credit or debit cards. The practice of paying by check or cash is fast disappearing. In this scenario, it is important to have the ability to process credit and debit cards. It allows you to serve a wider range of customers.
But when you accept credit and debit cards, you also need a way to process them and to make sure the money is properly transferred from the customers' accounts into your account. This is where a merchant account comes in. Merchant accounts act as a way for the credit or debit funds to transfer. It is an account much like any other bank account, but for accounting purposes should be kept as a separate business account.
You can open a merchant account with one of many companies in the United States. But you could also look at offshore accounts available in countries in Central America, Europe and the Caribbean. An off shore merchant account can help you save money in many ways with respect to your debit and credit card transactions.
With the merchant account located off shore, the income from your credit and debit card transactions will often count as foreign income. Domestic income is taxed at a higher rate than foreign income. A tax attorney or accountant can help you with the accounting necessities to facilitate this option. Also, by choosing an off shore account, you can always choose to send less of your money to the United States.
Moreover, you will save money in upfront costs and security fees in an off shore account. You will not be required to pay as much money for initial deposits and holdbacks for charge backs as you have to pay for opening on shore accounts. On shore accounts keep back quite a bit of money for security reasons each month in order to cover charge backs.
However, off shore accounts charge higher transaction fees but the differential is much less than what you would save in taxes. The added advantage is that they provide very good service in their endeavor to attract and hold their clients.
One of the best accounting moves you can make for your business is to look into off shore merchant accounts to see if they will work for you.

No Credit is Worse Than BAD Credit
As many young American move from childhood to adulthood they are faced with a grim reality. They have no credit, and now they are classified and bunched with those who have bad credit.
Any creditworthiness you acquire is directly linked with credit lines that you have on your file. Each credit line is gained when you apply for credit cards, buy a car, get a bank loan etc. So to gain a credit line, you must have good credit and to have good credit you must have credit lines.
This has been the problem for most young Americans. One way to eliminate this problem is to acquire a collateral bank loan and once this is paid back you automatically have a credit line. Most banks are willing to offer this service to young people because the bank knows that credit is all that matters in the world today and building your credit from a young age will give you a head start among your peers.
Credit card companies can be very reluctant to even offer you a low limit credit card knowing that you have no credit at all. If one is offered it is usually a secured credit card with high initial annual fees and high rates. Also it will be impossible to purchase a car or a home without any credit lines.
A bank collateral loan requires a deposit into your bank of choice then the ability to request for a loan that is equal to the amount deposited. A reasonable term would be one year to pay back the loan on a monthly basis.

The structure of Information Systems Enterprise Businesses Should Create Web Applications.
In a perfect world, all Information Systems (IS) would bring the necessary structure to ongoing processes, consequently improving them. Glitches in project and process management would automatically be fixed. The challenge for developers of project and process management software is that business professionals now demand this “perfect world” to become a reality.
Many business professionals receive a fat slap in the face after implementing project process management software. It looked perfect, with its long list of benefits and features -- the mistake was looking only at the diversity of functionalities.
An IS system is there to maximize efficiency and minimize human errors. A good tool is capable of reflecting existing processes rather than imposing processes. Imposed processes are typically theoretical or defined by somebody other than the creator of those processes. The best tools should also be capable of adjusting themselves to updates to processes.
This makes flexible, end-user defined applications the best solutions for project and process management. Yet, not many people look at “user-control” as a requirement that must be included on the list of a solution’s features and benefits. User-controlled systems are flexible enough to reflect the current processes of any organization, as well as to accommodate any future changes. And these changes can be done by the end-user rather than a software development company.
Don’t be fooled by a long list of features and benefits on a flashy website promoting a project and process management solution that is not flexible. A user-customizable platform is a must for any organization wanting to maximize efficiency through project and process management software.

Language the deep within
The ever-changing trends of the world affect everything in it. No one is exempted; even the language that people used has shown great changes as the earth revolves. Through the continuing development to satisfy the human needs new words evolved.
During the time of Shakespeare and other classical poets, the words used seen in their writings were very different. The term is called “archaic” language. Many of the present generation writers got inspired with these writings. And they wrote prose and poetry based on the styles of these classical writers. But as the years go by, the writing become different, archaic language slowly diminished, thus today nobody use it anymore.
Comparing both writings, the first will give you a lot of time to comprehend so as to understand what really they are trying to emphasize, I myself had a great time digesting the scenarios presented, while the second, it will just give you a bit of time to comprehend it.
Today is different. The language is not anymore focused on prose and poetry. During the first years of 1980’s, globalization came out. This trend has somehow become tragic especially for
the countries just recently started development and some of the countries of Asia. These countries felt the need of their people to learn the English language to cope up with the trends of globalization.
The maxim “no one is an island” somehow realized by these countries, they could not live with their own; they need someone or other countries to live with then. Business became the number one factor in determining the economic growth of a country, and the world market is the central core of every business. It requires every transaction to be written in English so as to understand clearly the terms and conditions to avoid uncertainties.
Learning of a language, particularly English could not be taken overnight. Yet there are institutions offering language studies in just a bit of time. Well, this could be of help, but the mere fact that we are being injected with unfamiliar one; the possible reaction is not favorable. Extreme reactions will occur. The learner may learn or it might develop great confusion about the language.
There ways on how to learn the English language. The best way and the most expensive one is to go or migrate to that place and learn the language by natural way. Since no other language is spoken, the learner will be forced to learn the language. Of course this is not a joke! In fact, some of my friends who migrated to English speaking countries had adapted the way the native
speakers do.
The easiest and the cheapest way to learn the language, although this needs a long process, it is successful. The learners have adapted and learn the language also like the native speakers do. The Philippines is the best example, the Government had included in the curriculum the English language. Even before a child started to go to school, he/she already being injected with the second language, and this continues through out the learning stage up to college.
This scenario has been eyed by neighboring countries. Thus today, they started to hire English teachers. These countries even offer a free board and lodging and a roundtrip ticket when the contract is done not to mention the promising remuneration offered.
As mentioned above, due to globalization, the Internet community had created a wide variety on how to learn the language. There are millions of websites offering free service on how to learn the language. As stated above, learning of the English language is taken for granted, lots of the learning institutions forgot to include in their teaching the culture of the language itself. It is
not enough that you know how to speak, read and write the language; you should also learn the culture of the language - the deeper side of it.
Why do you think the native speakers of English language pronounce the words like they are passing it through their nose? The nasal or nasal cavities, as one of the factors used in making the words affect the vocal presentations of the words. These native English Speakers’ biological structure of nasal cavities are larger compared to non-native speakers.
Again, I would like to emphasize that learning the English language means we are complying the requirements needed for globalization. Learn the English Language!

Selling a Car
Do you need to sell your car?
How do you intend to sell your car – confidentially, with a public sale, to a Dealer, or a Trade-In?
What is the value of your car?
How do maximize your earnings from the car?
General Guidelines
Decide the timing of your sale – do not attempt and sell following Christmas or past a number plate modification.
It is best to sell the car when it has a comparatively low mileage (below 42,000 for 3years Used Car). For older cars, it is important that the vehicle is in good condition at the time of sale, and has a clear history.
You will need to present all applicable papers, so retain them in a file. Log book, MOT certificate, handbook and any receipts for repairs and spare parts.
Trading your car in
This is a fast and moderately simple way to sell your used car. It is useful to keep your car in glowing condition first – wash, clean and check.
Often it appears like the dealer is giving you a good price for your car, except that they may be paying for it by increasing the price of the car you are buying. Get quotations for a new car from multiple dealers, some with the trade-in and some without the trade-in. Compare the quotes to see what you are really being offered for your car.
Selling to a Dealer
This is a quick way to sell your car. However, the price you obtain will not be as good as advertising privately.
Selling by Auction
This is a quick way to sell your car. You must place a reserve price or otherwise your car could potentially be sold for as small $50. The auction house will get 10% of the earnings from the sale.
Selling Privately
This is the best method to get a good price for your car, however it is not hassle free. You want to choose where to sell, how much to sell the car for, and how to reach an agreement with prospective buyers.
Advertising
This can be done in the local newspapers, car magazines, national newspapers, websites and even enthusiasts clubs. Numerous websites have particular deals that may be valuable.
The advert itself should be truthful and contain:
· Make and model of the car
· Age/year of car
· Mileage
· Condition
· Colour
· Any add-ons (alloy wheels, air conditioning)
· Number of previous owners
· Service history
· Length of tax/ MOT
· Photo – taken in light of day with neutral surroundings
· Price
· Area you live
Almost every car related web-site will charge you anywhere between $20 to $60 to place an advertisement to sell your car. However, http://www.unocardealers.com/ is one high traffic web-site that allows you to place a sell advertisement for free (no catch here).
Preparing to sell
· Clean the car inside and out – this can increase the value by hundreds of dollars!
· Swab the car with good car shampoo, wash and dry with a chamois.
· Shine the car – fine T-cut.
· Find an expert cleaner if you do not have the time or inclination necessary to clean the car well.
· Clean the instrument panel, windows and upholstery.
· Vacuum carpets and replace older, ragged mats.
· Do some maintenance – restore bulbs, retouch scratches, restore damaged windscreen wipers.
· Top up the oil, coolant, screenwash and brake fluid. It may also be useful to change the oil if the car has not been recently serviced.
· Restore wheel trims. If the car has alloy wheels, make sure they are spotless.
· Some expert trimmings could be distorted, for example racing steering wheels, gear knobs or alloy pedal covers.
· All the above highlight that the car has been well-cared for, which is what buyers like to see.
Dealing with potential buyers
1. You will have to be ready for timewasters, and people that do not revert to you.
2. You also need to be alert that your car may be a target for thieves, and get needed safety measures.
3. People will need to test drive the car – do not let them go alone, plus if you are a woman it may be safer to take a friend.
4. On the trial drive, permit them to take their own route.
5. Be ready to negotiate a price. It may be better to take a little less, than to risk not selling at all.
6. Be patient – it is common for buyers to acquire expert advice before making an offer, but it shows that they are truly involved.
7. If possible, get a deposit and put a time limit till when the deposit would be refunded (in case the buyer backs out from the offer).
8. Get the details of the buyer – name, address and landline telephone number. It may be safer to inquire for an ID to verify this.
9. Cash payment / banker’s cheque is safest and simplest. However, if you are given a personal cheque, wait for the cheque to clear before handing over the keys and title to the buyer.
10. Fill out and complete the essential rules and regulations to update the DMV that you no longer own the car and are not responsible for any damages.

Almost every car related web-site will charge you anywhere between $20 to $60 to place an advertisement to sell your car. However, http://www.unocardealers.com/ is one high traffic web-site that allows you to place a sell advertisement for free (no catch here).
Preparing to sell
· Clean the car inside and out – this can increase the value by hundreds of dollars!
· Swab the car with good car shampoo, wash and dry with a chamois.
· Shine the car – fine T-cut.
· Find an expert cleaner if you do not have the time or inclination necessary to clean the car well.
· Clean the instrument panel, windows and upholstery.
· Vacuum carpets and replace older, ragged mats.
· Do some maintenance – restore bulbs, retouch scratches, restore damaged windscreen wipers.
· Top up the oil, coolant, screenwash and brake fluid. It may also be useful to change the oil if the car has not been recently serviced.
· Restore wheel trims. If the car has alloy wheels, make sure they are spotless.
· Some expert trimmings could be distorted, for example racing steering wheels, gear knobs or alloy pedal covers.
· All the above highlight that the car has been well-cared for, which is what buyers like to see.
Dealing with potential buyers
1. You will have to be ready for timewasters, and people that do not revert to you.
2. You also need to be alert that your car may be a target for thieves, and get needed safety measures.
3. People will need to test drive the car – do not let them go alone, plus if you are a woman it may be safer to take a friend.
4. On the trial drive, permit them to take their own route.
5. Be ready to negotiate a price. It may be better to take a little less, than to risk not selling at all.
6. Be patient – it is common for buyers to acquire expert advice before making an offer, but it shows that they are truly involved.
7. If possible, get a deposit and put a time limit till when the deposit would be refunded (in case the buyer backs out from the offer).
8. Get the details of the buyer – name, address and landline telephone number. It may be safer to inquire for an ID to verify this.
9. Cash payment / banker’s cheque is safest and simplest. However, if you are given a personal cheque, wait for the cheque to clear before handing over the keys and title to the buyer.
10. Fill out and complete the essential rules and regulations to update the DMV that you no longer own the car and are not responsible for any damages.

This Is An Extremely Limited Offer
Everybody would love to make lots of money quickly, working from home, and only doing a few hours of work per week. I've spent the past two years trying to find a great way of doing this. Only over the course of the past few months have I found any "get rich quick" programs worth buying. I've been trying to make money online for a long time. I had a few small websites, but they never made much more than a few hundred per month. It was easy money and didn't require much work on my part, but I knew there were people out there doing better than I was and I knew I could do as well as them.
Now, I've seen a lot of "get rich quick" programs. Most of these people make claims about earning $2000/day with Google or something similarly insane. Almost all of these people are complete liars. Even if they were making $2000/day with Google AdSense, it'd be because they had high- traffic websites with a lot of quality content. I'd know, because in one whole month, I never even made half of what they promised I'd make daily with their programs. Maybe you've already been scammed by one of these fraudsters. Anyway, I finally got sick of what was being offered.
I decided I'd look through the all of the "get rich quick" programs I could find and see if there were any that were actually legitimate. I found that there were owners selling their programs for well over $100, but the information in them could be found almost anywhere online for free. Additionally, they all contained out-of-date information, had no e-mail support, no money back guarantees, and broken links in the downloads section.
In conclusion, almost all of the programs I found were completely useless. The owners knew it, but they couldn't care less about their customers since they didn't offer refund policies! Amazingly, while looking through all of the programs, I actually did find a few legitimate programs. They were run by ordinary people like you and me, and they had found some great methods of making money from their home by doing very little work.
I spent some time working with those programs, and my income is now ten times what it used to be. These programs provided a large amount of great information on how to make extra money on your computer doing very little work. Numerous customers had provided great feedback and reviews for their products. Many of them have started to make money just days after buying!
Their programs have excellent prices, and the authors have a group of paid staff who are dedicating to helping you or providing assistance if you need any. I must say I was amazed! If you do decide to purchase any of the programs listed below, I recommend you join quickly. Most of the owners tell me they are getting an overwhelming number of sales and plan on raising prices in the near future, so order while prices are still low!

Contagious Disease Prevention in the Workplace
Contagious Disease Prevention in the Workplace
Preventing the transmission of contagious infections in your workplace and home is the responsibility of each of us. A few common sense rules that are easy to apply can improve you odds of avoiding some of the most common illnesses and of spreading them to your family or co-workers.
Microorganisms that cause disease may be transmitted from one person to another in many ways. Some are preventable. Transmission of some diseases can occur through coughing or sneezing, such as the common cold. Others are transmitted via ingesting contaminated food or water, frequently infected by contaminated hands or unsanitary food preparation methods. Still other disease causing microorganisms are spread through sexual contact or through insects and other animals. Our common sense tips focus on the prevention of diseases transmitted primarily through direct and indirect contact with other people in our work and living space. These preventable diseases include the common cold, flu viruses, intestinal viruses, and bacterial infections such as staph and strep.
A few simple rules that we can all follow will improve your and your co-workers', your family and friends' chances of avoiding the common cold, the flu, stomach viruses and diarrhea.
1) Be aware of where you've recently placed your hands before you pick up anything you intend to put in your mouth
2) Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly with water and soap. Use alcohol- based hand gels when soap and water are unavailable
3) Utilize hands-free, touch less restroom accessories wherever available. Many building managers have now replaced their restroom soap dispensers, paper towel dispensers and trashcans with the new "hygienic" infrared operated, automatic models. You and your co-workers should encourage your employer or building manager to replace the older restroom accessories with the new touchless dispensers and hands free trash cans. Automatic trash receptacles and touchless waste baskets with hands-free infrared open/close lids for offices, dining areas and restrooms as well as hands free soap dispensers , touchless paper towel dispensers and touch-free hand dryers are available on the internet at very modest prices.
4) Cover you face when coughing or sneezing .Use Kleenex tissues rather than cloth handkerchiefs and immediately wash your hands with soap and water or alcohol gel before you touch anything else. Politely remind your co-workers if you see them spreading germs. It is easy to make a healthy suggestion without offending them.
5) Limit your exposure as much as possible to anyone that exhibits symptoms of the flu or a cold, such as sneezing, coughing or complaining about how bad they are feeling.
6) If you are already sick, please avoid exposing others, i.e. Stay at home. Do not travel about unnecessarily.
If you will follow these simple rules you will be doing your part to help reduce the transmission of disease in your space. Encourage others to do the same.

How Breast Enlargements can Improve a Womans Life
The dream of every woman is to have large, elevated, firm breasts, but unfortunately few women are born with naturally large breasts. Because women care very much about their looks, sex appeal, and body form, they often become very jealous and depressed if they do not have impressive breasts. Some women don't actually need to have larger breasts, but why wouldn't someone want to increase an already notable bust to unbelievably impressive breasts.
Breast enlargement surgery is expensive, painful, adds ugly markings to the breasts, and is a health threat. Many people wonder, “Is this actually worth it.” In short it is not. Although the breasts increase in size, there are better ways of doing it. Many people need more than one surgery, and doctors can really mess up your valuable breasts even more. Although fewer people have heard of it, and fewer people use them, herbs are one of the best ways to increase ones breast size to larger proportions. There is one lady that reports growing from barely an AA to a huge EE cup in several months. Not only do the breasts grow in size, they are also much firmer, held higher, and are much rounder than before. Unlike an implant, your breasts will look natural, because they are natural. There are many different ways to naturally enhance your breasts including lotions, soap, pills, drinks, which in turn gives you the result of large, elevated, firm breasts that women always dreamed about. Not only does this work for young or middle age women, one grandmother says that her breasts are now larger, firmer, and more rounded than her 21 year old granddaughter. That speaks a lot about the positive effect that herbs can have on your breasts.
There are several different types of herbal treatments that are provided from many different places to help breast enlargement. The most popular ones are pills, lotions, soaps, and creams. Most work for all people, but you should talk with a local sales person before you purchase. They will be glad to help you and they know exactly what will look best on you.
The way that herbal breast enlargers work is that they make the hormones that were used in the breast growth during puberty in the early teen years. As long as you keep using the herbs your breasts will grow. After you stop they may occasionally grow a little bit, but not much. Because this makes the hormones go wild again like during your puberty years, you will probably have some tingling sensations, your breasts feeling tight, and itchy skin, just like when you were in your teens.
Now you can be satisfied with the breasts you always wished that you had, and stop being embarrassed with your normal breasts. You will no longer be the jealous one; when your friends see your new natural breasts and you will have them kneel before you begging for where you got your herbal treatment.

Payroll Outsourcing Meets High Tech Paying Employees Online
One of the hottest trends in the outsourcing field is online payroll processing. As long as you have access to the Internet, you can have a payroll processing company available to you at all times. You can even print your paychecks from your desktop computer once you have given all of the information to the payroll outsourcing company to prepare the checks.
These advantages, convenience and professional support, have made online payroll processing a very attractive alternative for businesses. These companies will set up all of the information for proper processing of you payroll.
A company manager can input employee information at any time and the information is stored. Only when the information is transmitted to the payroll outsourcing company will the payroll be processed. This means that changes such as new employee, address changes, etc. can be entered when they are received instead of all information having to be keyed in at the busy time when payroll is being prepared. It is recommended that a separate computer system is used for this purpose to avoid security risks.
It is easy to understand why web based payroll processing by outsourcing has become so popular. A company has the choice of going directly to the providers website and inputting all the necessary data, and the payroll processing company then does all of the calculations. Since the security of this sensitive data is so important, secure socket layer encryption is used to prevent anyone else from accessing or changing the data. These secure data centers have multiple firewalls for safety. Alternately, the company can store all of the information on its own computer and then transmit that information to the payroll processing company when the payroll date approaches.
Another distinct advantage of online payroll outsourcing is that it virtually guarantees that payroll taxes will be paid on time. Companies can also more readily supply credit information for an employee because this can be done directly with the bank. A company considering online payroll outsourcing should research the available options and make sure they choose the outsourcing company that will give them quick, accurate results while providing top notch customer support.
A really big benefit, however, is the ability to rely on accurate accounting reports and not have to be concerned with audit problems or sarbanes oxley. Outsourcing will take the risk off of your company and put it on the outsourcing company (check your contract). When it comes to audit and sarbanes oxley (if your company happens to be public), you do not want to fool around at all.

If You Are Considering A Career In Accounting There Are A Lot Of Choices
Accounting careers open the door to an entire world of options. You can choose from many different types of careers and opportunities. And once you settle on which career or opportunity you'd like to pursue. you have a world of options for which company you want to work for. Hence, you have variety in what you do and where you do it.

For instance: an accounting clerk could mean anything from somebody who is a filing clerk (which means somebody who files documents pertaining to accounting), to a receptionist (who does the same similar types of tasks).
With all the talk of career advancement, you may be wondering what some options are. Staff Accountant, Controller, and CFOS are more predominant accounting careers, though there are many more beyond just them.
Staff Accountants jobs vary based on company size. If the company is smaller, they generally have the Staff Accountant perform a variety of tasks. They keep record and track of activities done day-to-day. They also may apply cash to invoices, pay the company's bills, and bill customers. If, however, the company is larger, they generally have clerks do much of the above-mentioned work, in which case, the clerks give the results to the Staff Accountant to be further reviewed.
Controllers generally oversee the entire accounting department. The Controller also makes sure tax information is accurately completed, sometimes with help with other accounting departments. They do this, and make predictions based on the history of the accounting records and on how well the company will do.
The Corporate Financial Officer or, "CFO" oversees the accounting department, and sometimes the finance department.

Even if you decide not to further advance your career, a stable career in accounting may just be right up your ally. With all this in mind, you will wonder why you did not consider accounting sooner.

Accounting Books
Accounting is tricky business, and not everyone has the mind for it. In order to get a degree in accounting, you have to spend a great deal of time in college learning the ins and outs of the profession. Like any profession, there are those who just don't cut it. If you have a more creative mind, accounting may not be for you. I once took a few courses, and did some accounting for a small company. I found it was just not for me, and I stuck with writing to make a living.
If you aren't a professional, but need to keep track of your own expenses, you can buy some accounting books and try to teach yourself the basics. The skills needed to take care of your home, and your home business might be something you can handle. Some people choose to buy ledger accounting books to keep track of expenses and income, while others opt for software.
Software has a huge advantage over regular accounting books. If you have a basic understanding of what you are doing, you can learn how to put your information into the program, and it will do most of the work for you. It can also generate reports to let you know how you are doing. You can get reports for expenses, profit, operating costs, and anything else you may need to know. Software such as Peachtree Accounting comes with customer support.
If you really want to do this, you should buy some textbooks first, and get a grip on the basics. Accounting books can be found online as well as in many major bookstores. You can find more complicated books if you wish to learn everything there is about accounting, or you can buy simpler guides that will teach you what you need to know without going into too much detail. This is great if you want to keep an eye on things, but then will hand everything over to an accountant or tax preparer at the end of the year.
If you don't want to spend a lot of money on accounting books and programs, you can look at your local library for books. You may also want to look through eBay or your local classified ads for people selling used books and used software. If you still feel lost, call your local college. They may offer simple and basic accounting courses for those with a home or small business.

Accounting Programs
There was a time when small businesses, especially mom and pop stores could get away without maintaining accounts of any sort.

Be that as it may, the fact remains that all businesses, large or small, need to use accounting programs of some sort in order to streamline their operations and to comply with governmental regulations.
One of the simplest accounting programs available in the market today is Microsoft Money.

So smaller businesses even in the services sector are able to use it to streamline their processes.

Is Your Business In Balance All About The Balance Sheet
A Balance Sheet is a financial document prepared by a business, organization or individual at the end of a fiscal year or other period, which depicts the assets, liabilities and shareholder equity of the company. Based on the double entry bookkeeping system, the balance sheet helps assess the net worth of the company at a given point of time e.g. end of fiscal year or some other arbitrary time. The net worth is arrived at by finding the difference between all the assets owned and liabilities incurred.
A balance sheet is a formal statement depicting the book value of the concerned entity at a particular time. It is prepared internally or by one or more Certified Public Accountants and truly reflects the state of affairs of the entity. It is quite different from an income statement which is a statement about the income and expenses incurred during a particular period of time.
A truly photographic account of the current state of the entity is how a balance sheet may best be described. It is the most used financial statement and, in fact, is the only one that reflects the state of the entity at a given point of time rather than over a span of time. The two basic features of a Balance Sheet are assets and liabilities.
Since the business may own a number of assets in the form of built-up inventories of unsold stock, plant and machinery, buildings and equipment, these are not always readily convertible into cash and so form the core of the asset valuation. On the flip side, there are creditors who need to be paid as well as tax authorities that have tax payments outstanding and these form the liability base. In addition there is the original capital and a share of profits not withdrawn by the proprietors.
Any modern balance sheet will have three main components; assets, liabilities and shareholder equity. It is usual to set out all assets at the top of the balance sheet before presenting the liabilities. The difference between assets and liabilities constitutes the net worth or net assets of the company. This net worth or net assets of the company is equal to the shareholders equity.
Valuing equity suffers from some discrepancies because sometimes the value to a purchaser of a business via the net worth may not be what is revealed by the balance sheet figures, due to unrecorded material facts. This may happen when property has not yet been revalued.
Also, assets may have been valued keeping in mind that the concern will return a profit. Under such circumstances the break-up value of assets may be more than if the business is running into losses. So whenever someone wants to know how a company is doing, a well documented and accurate answer is very desirable. And the best way to showcase the entity's success is through its balance sheet.
A lot of people as well as different organizations will surely be interested in the performance of various companies and so they turn to the company's balance sheet for more information. In addition, the owners of entities are also constantly keeping track of how their enterprises are doing. Creditors, before extending credit, would like to assure themselves that the enterprise will repay the credit. Everyone with any interest in financial dealings with an entity will, of necessity, turn to the balance sheet for guidance.

Are You Properly Tracking Your Companys Stock
The Capitalization Table provides investors with a bird's eye view of the sum total of all the different securities issued by a company. It includes the amount of investment that the company has procured from investors and the distribution of securities which might include common/preferred shares, options, warranties etc. and the individual capitalization ratios.
The driving force behind an investment in a company is its expected return on investment, which should be profitable as well as lucrative. For investors, the tool used to state expected return is called a capitalization table, which is used in tandem with pro forma financials. Thus, the usage and preparation of capitalization tables is of great interest to prospective investors.
Basically, a capitalization table addresses the present and future funding requirements of the company as well as returns in terms of value that will be obtained over a period of time. It implies that the investor is greatly concerned about whether the returns on investment are good enough to justify the risk involved or not. The capitalization table encapsulates all the details about the amount of equity capital used in funding the company, the time of capital contribution and the ownership of the company. This information helps investors better understand their returns on investment.
Terms most commonly used in capitalization tables are "pre-money valuation" and "post-money valuation". The former refers to the company's value prior to any investments made by an investor. When the pre-money valuation is divided by fully diluted shares outstanding, a price per share is obtained. The latter refers to pre-money valuation plus whatever amount is invested. Obtaining the exact picture regarding calculation of pre-money valuation is not so much a scientific endeavor as it is an art form. There is great scope for personal judgment. All said and done, pre-money valuation is, by its very nature, negotiable.
However, getting future valuation for the exit can be achieved more scientifically.
There are a number of formulas that help determine the value of the company but, often, just one solitary equation without need for other and more complex formulae will help solve the issue. For a company wishing to achieve higher valuations at exit, it must have first achieved a sustainable competitive edge, and normally this may only occur after six years or more for those companies having planned for a five year plan of action. That makes it imperative for companies to outperform "also ran" companies and prove to the competition that trying to imitate more successful companies will surely not be of much use.
Some important and noteworthy aspects that a capitalization table should address are:
• Dilution
• Consistency
• Notes and other forms of corporate ownership
Building a capitalization table is of vital importance and knowing how to build one is essential for any entrepreneur wishing to deal with shares of stock. In addition, there is a need to understand the different circumstances under which it operates. Every interested entrepreneur should learn the arithmetic behind each deal to prosper in his or her business dealings. Also, asking questions of investors to understand their needs is important to an entrepreneur dealing with investment options.
A capitalization table may be segmented to show the differentiation between preferred and common shareholders. In addition, it describes the different funding rounds in the company. Thus, it follows that the capitalization table is an instrument that needs careful analysis before arriving at an informed decision about valuing a company.

Inexpensive Ways to Order Personal Checks
When one opens a checking account, inevitably the sales pitch to order checks through the back is given. Many banks offer a special price on the first book, only to charge more for subsequent orders of personal checks. However, there are ways to avoid overpaying when you order checks.
Upon initially opening a checking account, it isn't a bad idea to order personal checks through the bank. This ensures that all of the information is correct, and if a mistake is made, it is easier for the bank to fix it at no extra charge to you.

Additionally, when your order personal checks on special, there is usually a free book of checks involved.

The Internet is another good place to order checks. Discount companies and special 'online only' deals abound. However, as with anything done on the Internet, it is important to be sure you are dealing with a reputable company. Any check company will need your bank account number, so it is important to make sure that the Web site is secure and represents a good company.

Business Inventories Checklist to Success
In business management, inventories are lists of the goods and material a company has available in stock. If a business does not have an inventory, it cannot be truly considered as a business.
Inventories provide a business with a comprehensive view of the properties it owns. In the broadest sense, inventories deal with the stock level of items it has for sale. But inventories also deal with the properties a business has that are not for sale.
These properties include office equipment, office supplies, warehouses, land properties, and other items related to the business, whether or not they are used in the day-to-day operations of such.
Manufacturing organizations have three categories for sellable items on their inventories: a) the raw materials/parts which are to be used in making products
b) the materials/parts which are already in the process of being transformed into finished products, and c) finished goods - the goods that are ready for sale, trade or stock.
For example, in a canning factory, items such as raw tin cans, the raw food stuffs to be processe are considered to be under category A of the above mentioned categories.
When these raw materials are processed, but are not yet finished - as in the case of food stuffs that are already canned yet lack the proper labels and price tags - they are listed under category B. When the product is ready to be sold, they are then listed under category C.
Financial accounting
An organization's inventory has its advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage of such is that inventories are counted as assets on the organization's balance sheet. However, it also makes funds immovable when they might have been appropriated elsewhere.
Moreover, it costs the organization to have these assets protected. Inventories also induce increased tax expenses.
On the other hand, since inventories show up as assets in an organization's balance sheet, they can be turned into cash through selling. Some organizations intentionally hold large inventories to bloat their apparent value on the market.
Businesses that stock too little inventory cannot take advantage of large orders from customers if they cannot deliver. The business therefore stands to gain from a proper inventory system.
Since the inventory shows a business' capability to deliver goods ordered of it, the business may be able to adjust their inventory, increasing or decreasing it, according to market demand.
Why inventory?
Without a proper inventory a business cannot know what assets it has at its disposal. It also is blind to the quantity and status of the goods it may, or even, may not have.
For example, a business that does not have a proper inventory is asked to deliver 100 crates of its goods. Without an inventory, the business does not know if it even has that number of crates.
In the case of non-sale inventories, businesses are now able to keep track of equipment purchased and their status.
Too often, businesses with sloppy inventory systems do not keep track of their existing equipment. Without this, no one is accountable for equipment that gets stolen or damaged. The business ends up spending more to replace these equipments, when in fact, someone might be stealing from or sabotaging them.
Proper inventory keeping may be a painstaking, time-consuming process that leads many businesses to forego such altogether. However, without one, a business cannot operate efficiently, and properly.

Resolving Marital Conflict Over Money
Sadly, today's 52% divorce rate frequently arises from complaints by one or both spouses in two key areas: sex and money. One reason for this is the quest for personal independence. Getting married forces us to surrender individual existence for a shared life, and this can lead to a confrontation with selfishness and trust issues in combining money and making spending or saving decisions. She may want to save for a dream vacation while he is ready to plunk down every cent on a new gun rack or bowling ball.
Everyone brings unique values to a marriage. Learning how to share a household budget and curb spending excesses that were manageable before have led many a couple to the brink of divorce. It takes time to get used to the idea of sharing intimate purchasing goals and long-term savings plans with another human who is imperfect, just as each of us is. If one of the spouses changes jobs or takes a pay cut, the other may become resentful, and conflict may result.
Credit cards are another source of tension, with the average household consumer debt in the $6,000 to $10,000 range, although many families carry even higher balances. Balancing risk-taking with security needs can be precarious for the couple, especially if they bring differing philosophies to the marriage. So what can couples do to effectively combine incomes and merge goals without losing their patience or love for one another?
1. Let one person become the principal budget master. This might be the one who keeps careful accounts and employs long-range economic vision to benefit everyone in the family. He or she can manage the checkbook, monitor savings, and recommend cost-cutting strategies for family members to follow. However, this should be handled with care to avoid creating tensions or currying disfavor and resentment. The couple may want to share the duty or trade off each year.
2. Review financial holdings each year. Both parties should have a clear understanding of where the money is going, with the option of suggesting alternative ways of managing the budget or making changes to accommodate extra income or its reduction. These discussions need to take place at a time when neither person is under stress from other factors, but can comfortably turn their attention to money matters without becoming edgy or stressed out.
3. Be flexible. Realize that neither of you will probably endorse all the ways that your partner wants to spend money. But that's how individualism works. Set aside a monthly "allowance" for each spouse's personal use, no questions asked. If more is needed from the joint checkbook, though, both parties should approve to keep the account from being drained without the other spouse's consent.
4. Share goals. While allowing for individual spending choices, make time to discuss shared goals and plans that both of you want. This will help each of you to have buy-in to the overall budget and a shared sense of control for the future.
5. Don't hold grudges. When one of the spouses overspends, spends unwisely, or doesn't spend enough, don't make an issue out of it. Arrange a casual conversation to address the concern and try to make adjustments so that both of you can avoid further problems and feel comfortable with the budget.
Don't let money tear you apart. Use it as a tool to wedge you tog
