The Pros & Cons Of Using A Debt Collector

Any business establishment operates on a day to day basis with the end goal of achieving maximum sales at any given time. Most companies allow other companies or individuals to borrow from them with an agreement that debts must be paid when they are due and demandable.

This arrangement is normal because not all people operate on a cash basis and the truth is that businesses are runs daily on the basis of well-earned credit. Most often than not a company has to operate on a credit basis or risk losing his clients to other companies that will allow the same arrangements.

The problem with this is that most companies are not so efficient in monitoring and in dealing with credit. They tend to be very lax in seeking payment from their clients that they end up with a lot of receivables which sometimes makes the business operations no longer viable.

While it is true that businesses should have a provision for at least three percent of those debts getting into the category of bad debts they should also exert great effort in getting these companies to pay them or risk the chances of getting bankrupt.

There are companies who have people or even a division taking care of bad debts. Getting these debts paid up can go a long way in increasing the operating capital of any business. Thus the role of a person or a division that takes care of getting these debts paid is so important in any business.

Some businesses however rely on pro collection agencies to get their bad debts to a minimum. These collection agencies take care of negotiating with these people who have been indebted to the company for quite sometime now.

Getting the services of pro collection agencies can give the business owners more time on their hands to take care of other important matters like running the business. But this can also be disadvantageous on their part for some reasons.

Business owners should know that debtors have as much right as they have and even if the latter owe them to a degree they are protected by federal laws. A pro collection agency can be sued by the debtor for harassing him especially when these collection companies contact them during inconvenient periods. These companies are also not allowed by law to make collection phone calls at anytime before or during business hours.

It is a different situation for companies that directly lent money, goods or services to the debtor. Companies who are directly affected by the unpaid debt have more power under the law to collect these bills without most of the limitations set by the law for collection agencies.

So the next time you leave your collection work to a pro collection agency then better think again because it may be more disadvantageous to your business in the end.

Why Bother Saving Money Now?

 Teen Money Tips – Why bother saving money now?

For many teens whenever they earn or recieve money, they spend it all. Saving money is just not considered cool and is (for most people, especially teens) a difficult thing to do. Some will just say “I don’t want to save” but many will save “Why should I save now, I should leave that until I’m older”. Well today I am going to tell you why you should start saving money now, even if it’s just a little bit. Remember, saving money is fairly low risk compared to investing it in stocks/shares or other things so it will take longer to accumulate.

Basically, you should be saving between 10-20% of everything you earn. For most teens this would be an easy enough amount to save and would not require a massive change in spending habits. Now you might be thinking ’10-20% of everything I earn, that will never be enough!” well in the short term this may be true, but in the long run (and with the help of our friend ‘compounding interest’) it will be. Compounding interest is where you earn interest (basic definition- extra money given to you by your bank for placing money in their accounts,we will cover this topic more later) on top of your interest.

For example – John puts $100 in his bank account at 10% interest per month (please note this is a high rate of interest used for illustrative purposes only) By the start of next month his $100 has grown to $110 because of the 10% interest. Next month his $110 has grown to $121 because he has received “compounding interest” (interest on his interest as well as his principal – the amount he originally deposited)

So if you were to put away $30 every month for the next 40 years and it was to grow at 5% P.A (per annum- every year) then by the end of the 40 years you would have $45,662.31. Not enough to retire on but a nice amount anyway for future investments or to go on a retirement holiday with etc. If you were to recieve 10% P.A. compounding your $30 a month investment would grow to $175,266.65 over 40 years!

Now go out and start saving a bit of money each month so that when you get older you don’t have to worry as much about how you can afford to save! If you would like a free compounding interest calculator then visit http://www.moneychimp.com/calculator/compound_interest_calculator.htm

Seeking Value in Commodity Speculatio

With the decline of the value of the dollar by over 10 percent over the last year, the need for items of long-term value is increasing. Many investors have gravitated to gold and other precious metals, but base metals, energy supplies and other commodities are also favored. There has been a long-term increase in oil, coal and natural gas prices. Even uranium prices have increased dramatically. Copper, iron, steel, and other commodities have had a huge run-up in price over the last few years. The rising prices of commodities over the last few years reflect the massive inflation in financial values. Investors trying to own commodities, from oil to gold, are trying to hold on to something that is real. This is in contrast to the huge amount of speculation going on in the financial markets, the international hedge funds operations, etc. Oil prices have gone up slightly recently, but have stayed below their peak several months ago. A mild winter weather forecast in the United States means that energy prices in general should not go up too much unless there is another major war in the Persian Gulf area. Now that the real estate bubble in many parts of the world is popping, this tendency to seek values in commodities can only intensify.

A new tendency for corn, soybean and other agricultural prices to go up has been linked to the use of these crops for processing into ethanol as a substitute for gasoline. Since September 2006, the price of corn has gone up 30 percent, despite the fact that there are ample supplies. From a supply-and-demand standpoint, corn is seen to be continuing to go up in price because of needs of corn as an animal feed and for human consumption versus its new use as a feedstock to produce ethanol for fuel. The other reason is that corn as a fuel feedstock has become so in vogue on Capitol Hill that demand is seen as going up for years to come. There are futuristic plans to supply U.S. fuel demand with blends of ethanol, which could take up to one-third or more of the corn crop. Whether these utopian forecasts ever come true is beside the point, it’s the amount of excitement that has hit the corn futures market. Corn has the additional use of being the source of corn syrup, a key sweetener of soft drinks.

8 Great Personal Finance Sites

There’s lots of online information about personal finance. If you’re looking for advice on budgeting or investing, you’ll find plenty. If you want quotes for loans or insurance, they’re available. If you need help getting out of debt, you can find it online.

Predictably, some of the personal finance resources online are better than others. Some are frankly self-serving, trying to sell you some product or service. Others give information freely. Some of the information is good and some is not so good. You have to evaluate and discriminate when looking for authority and accuracy in personal finance information. After all, it’s your money that you’ll be risking if you follow bad advice. So be careful out there.

We can’t hope to list all the good online sites for personal finance. There are just too many. But here’s a short list to get you started in the right direction. We’ve included a few of the standard mega-sites plus some really good ones that are not so well known.

Necessary Virtues Personal Finance
http://finance.necessaryvirtues.com/
Specializes in information about how to manage your money efficiently and live a prosperous life. Offers several full-length books as free downloads, including these titles: “Solving the Money Puzzle: Personal Finance Made Simple,” “The Science of Getting Rich,” “Money for Life,” and the classic, “Think and Grow Rich.” Also offers free newsletter, “Your Money Plan.”

MSN Money
http://moneycentral.msn.com/
Specializes in information for investors, including free stock quotes and analysis tools. Also has sections on planning, banking, and taxes. Good investment advice columns and features. Some analysis tools require Internet Explorer for best results. (The site is owned by Microsoft.)

CNN Money
http://money.cnn.com/
More breadth than MSN Money but less depth on investing. Covers many areas and has quite a bit of unique content from Fortune and Money magazines. (This is a Time-Warner site so there is common ownership.)

Kiplinger.com
http://www.kiplinger.com/
Mostly about investing, but also has good articles on credit management, real estate, insurance, retirement. Do be aware that much of their focus is on selling subscriptions to their various newsletters, like the Kiplinger Report.

Zen Personal Finance
http://www.finance-weblog.com/
This is something completely different, a blog with a unique perspective on personal finance. Has sections on retirement, housing, credit, and investing (a mammoth 30-part series of posts on “How To Think Like Warren Buffet”). Not the place to go for everyday reference, but recommended for browsing.

The Motley Fool
http://www.fool.com/
Specializes in help with investing, particularly in stocks and mutual funds. Information is of high quality, but registration is required to access most of it, and payment is required for parts of the site and for some newsletters.

Yahoo Finance
http://finance.yahoo.com/
There’s a lot here, but most of it is conglomerated by Yahoo from various third-party sources. You’ll have to be discriminating.

Carnival of Personal Finance
http://carnivalofpersonalfinance.com/
A blog carnival that offers weekly collections of recent blog posts on topics like budgeting, saving money, earning money, managing debt, and living below your means. The quality is uneven so be prepared to dig deep.

So there you have it, a quick introduction to some of the best of the web when it comes to personal finance. Some of the big sites made our list as well as some smaller hidden gems. Here’s hoping you find it useful.
