GETTING BEYOND YOURSELF: PLANNING BIG EVENTS

GETTING MORE EDUCATED ABOUT FINANCES

If further education could have a positive effect on your income, pursue it. There's generally a strong correlation between knowing more and earning more, so work to gain knowledge - whether it's a GED or an MBA, a new computer language or certifcation in an additional area of auto maintenance, a professional enrichment course or formal education, knowledge or skills.
If you don't know what specifc courses would improve your current situation or advance you to another, check with your employer. Ask what they would value,what they would be willing to pay more to get. And fnd out if your employer offers reimbursement for tuition or pays for classes that improve your skills. Look into local continuing-education programs, offerings by professional organizations, online universities, community colleges, and other educational options. Because a lot of people are currently juggling both jobs and education, there are lots of alternatives to the traditional routes to learning.

If you overspend in part to relieve the stress that you build up in an unacceptable job situation, consider changing jobs. This is not a short-term solution or one to be taken lightly,but it's worth considering. Here are some steps you could take - even if you're just trying to decide if a change is a good idea.Create a list of all the things and big events you like and don't like about your job. Analyze the list, asking yourself if the things you don't like are things that you may be able to change,if the things you do like are unique to the job or available elsewhere, and if you can improve your situation by changing jobs.

A career change is more signifcant than a job change, but if you're not satisfed by what you're doing now, a change may be what you need. Before you start, however, consider the following: If the career change would involve a cut in pay, use this time as an opportunity to study and plan, because pursuing something at a lower pay level is not in your best interest until you're out of debt.

Search out organizations from which you can learn about new jobs, such as local networking groups, professional organizations, and entrepreneurs' groups - check the business section of a local paper for ideas and contacts. Start scanning the help-wanted ads.

Buying a home can provide you with valuable tax savings, reducing the amount of income tax that you have to pay to the federal government. This is because your mortgage interest, property tax, and some other payments related to buying a home can be tax deductions. In order to take advantage of this deduction, you must file Form 1040 and itemize your deductions.

Buying a home is one of largest financial transactions most people make in their lives. It is a major commitment, which can invoke major anxiety. If you are thinking about buying a home, you may be thinking, “How will I ever be able to afford it?” After all, you have to make a down payment, pay closing costs, and then you need to be able make your monthly mortgage payments. How will you be able to afford it? Determining the kind of home you want and can afford can lessen this anxiety. Feeling that you have made a purchase within your range of affordability will be comforting. Saving for a house may take you a while, but it can be done. Like anything else, if you develop a plan and then stick to it, you will be able to save enough money to buy your dream house.

Your first step should be to clean up your credit. You learned a little about the importance of spotless credit history in Section One. If you have not checked your credit report, do so as soon as you begin thinking about buying a home. Give yourself plenty of time to check for and correct any errors on your credit report.
