Many financial decisions we make most times are largely influenced by habits, trends and peer pressure but a smart person would consciously discipline himself/herself to invest in only things that will be beneficial even if it means postponing that trip, going for less expensive brands etc. All these constitute good financial habits

All those seemingly insignificant financial adjustments you make determine your financial health. Those small decisions alter turns into bad choices add up to debt, regret, and major issues in the long run.

It is never to late to become conscious about your financial health and prioritize necessities over wants.

1. Learn to Set a Budget

First take out your fixed expenses [e.g rent, phone bills, taxes etc] as soon as your income arrives. This will help you know the directions of your expenditure.

When you have done all these and there is money left, allocate at least 20% of the general sum to savings and investment and adequately plan the days and weeks with whatever is left.

2. Always GIVE ROOM for Second Thought.

When you find yourself about to make an unbudgeted spending or overshoot on the price of the commodity, take a second to reconsider . At the very least, it is essential to build up a restraining habit to avoid impulsive spending.

3. Use AUTOMATED Saving Platforms

Set out a certain percentage from the point salary enters. Platforms such as Piggy Bank or V Bank

You can activate automatic saving at a certain time in the month, or opt for longterm money lock savings plans. Ideally, you will need to consider having a pension plan for retirement money.

4. Always Make Use of Scale of Preference

Nearly everyone has the urge to make an impulse purchase. That could be a little as a portion of emergency food. Consider whether each regular purchase you make makes gives you happiness. If it doesn’t, and you’re just buying out of impulse, consider overlooking the purchase and spending the money for something else.

5. Develop the Habit of Saying No with Ease

It’s OK to say No or enquire about the availability of an alternative. Sometimes spending money simply because we don’t to look inferior to our friends, family, and colleagues is a bad step to tow.

Dont feel obligated to always do what your colleagues are doing even if its in gathering. That family vacation could be postponed as well if you see it will cause a strain to your pockets. Spending money to keep up appearance is a very bad habit that should be curbed.

A few days ago, I asked question on how to stay anonymous while downloading on Torrent.

I got a few responses and followed the response I got religiously. I hit a snag because at some point my download speed became slow on the download, at the same time, every other software was still flying at their normal speed.

I got to realise that it was because Torrent slowed it down cos my IP has been identified, I just had to end the download.

What can I do to prevent this slow measure from repeating itself?

Bitcoin’s movement in the crypto market lately has been very volatile. The rally this year has hit a speed bump putting it on track for the worst weekly drop ever in almost a year amid wider losses in risk assets.

The largest cryptocurrency in the coinmarketcap this week slumped as much as 20%, the most since March 2021 and is now holding for about $45k as of the time of this post. This has also affected other currencies connected with it (Ethereum and Binance) as seen from the graph below.

Why this fall?

The drastic fall and rough patch for bitcoin comes amid wider chaos in the global markets, as a surge in bond in turn implies growing expectations that inflation are also moving higher and forcing market traders to reevaluate the value of their assets across multiple platforms. By now, it is not longer news that Elon Musk’s Tesla lost about $15m as Tesla’s stocks declined. This is also as a result of this weekly drop

Asset risks are taking a toll at the moment, and we’re seeing stocks slide and crypto is also following, this is because somehow, cryptos are still controlled by the physical currencies. Little wonder central banks of many countries in the world are not in full support yet. The dollar is strengthening which is a good indication to expect a slide in bitcoin and other cryptos.

Can we still trust crypto ?

Bitcoin’s weakness in the face of market fluctuations raises serious concerns and questions as to whether it is suitable to hold value and hedge inflation. This is a growing talk in the community of stakeholders and proponents of the use. Detractors have maintained that the digital assets’s surge is a speculative bubble and it’s destined for a repeat of the 2017 boom and bust. (A rollercoaster I will never forget).
