Spend Less Than You Make, a Common Sense Rule that America has Forgotten, According to a New Personal Finance Book











Ted Hunter is a successful businessman who wrote Money Smart to share his knowledge of cycles in both the real estate and financial markets and help people take control of their money and create financial freedom.


California (Vocus) November 12, 2010

How many people spend every raise they get? How many live at or above their means, spending more than they make? In the United States, about half of all families live at or above their means. The key to turning family finances around is living below your means. Making the change is an essential step to controlling personal finances in a tough economy, says Ted Hunter, author of Money Smart, a new book that guides the reader to financial freedom.

Living below your means simply means living on less money than comes in each month and saving any extra money earned through a pay increase or bonus instead of spending it on an increased standard of living. The difference can be dramatic, especially for those currently in debt. Hunter points out that financial success is not dependent on a high income, but comes from the smart use of any income. Money Smart contains nine Money Rules and Live Below Your Means is one of them. Living below your means is a vital step towards chipping away at any debt and increasing one’s ability to save money. When this rule is incorporated into the reader’s life their financial pressures decrease, and a growing sense of accomplishment and of being in control generate positive momentum towards creating financial security. “Live below your means,” states Hunter, “Almost every financially successful person does.”

Combining Hunter’s 60 years of experience and a common sense approach, Money Smart shows readers that they are capable of managing their money better than anyone else. Presenting easy-to-use tools and a clear list of rules to follow, Money Smart teaches readers to make solid, educated decisions so they can effectively manage their money and create financial freedom.

Money Smart can be purchased online at http://www.MoneySmartOnline.com and Amazon.com.

California (Vocus) November 9, 2010

Money Smart author, Ted Hunter asks, “What are your hopes and dreams, your goals and desires?” Perhaps an unexpected question to find in a new book about achieving financial freedom. Not so, claims Hunter–in fact, it is probably the most important question to answer if the reader truly wants to reach their money goals. What matters most? Is it spending time with family and friends? Traveling the world? Owning a great home? Hunter states that making the mistake of spending money on low priority whims, trading away the things that matter most, is a not a trade worth making.

Money Smart acknowledges, that yes, identifying hopes and dreams can be difficult, but also points out that someone is unlikely to get the things they wish for unless they first identify them. Hunter explains that “every expenditure you make is a trade that requires you to give up something else and it’s critical to become consciously aware of the trades you are making.” Hunter contends that “only after you have clearly identified what it is you want from your life can you make good decisions regarding money and the role you want it to play in your life.” Money Smart and http://www.moneysmartonline.com provide a practical goal-focused approach and easy-to-use worksheets to help readers achieve those hopes and dreams.

Spain remains popular choice for UK overseas property purchasers

Spain remains popular choice for UK overseas property purchasers










London, UK (Vocus/PRWEB) 3 April 2011

Consumer confidence is increasing in overseas property ownership, particularly in Spain, according to a report by property-abroad.com. The report cited a 26 per cent increase since last year in people stating that now is the optimal time to purchase foreign property, with almost a third believing Spain is an excellent location for property investment.

Post Office International Payments is advising those looking to invest in property in Spain or further abroad how to make the most of their money when transferring funds using an international money transfer.

International money transfers can make buying a property abroad more straightforward as they offer a reliable way of sending money abroad to cover all the costs associated with owning property overseas. However, some high-street banks impose high fees and charges for using their money transfer services, which could potentially cost an overseas homeowner dear if he or she is sending money abroad on a regular basis.

Post Office International Payments is a fast, easy and secure way to transfer money between UK and overseas bank accounts, making it an attractive deal for those needing to use an international money transfer service regularly.

The Post Office does not charge a fee for sending money abroad or receiving money, offers 0% commission and competitive exchange rates. It is easy to arrange your money transfer over the phone or online, making it a convenient tool for those buying property overseas.
