As a rule, it - a good education for the children, their own house or apartment and personal specific purpose (for example, spend a year on a deserted tropical island with good service). Given that such a foundation are typically large sums of money that are not collected in a single day or even a month, play an important role and place the form in which they are stored.
If you are in your financial management we have reached the stage of formation of the reserve, without financial literacy, knowledge of financial law, legislation and tools you can not do. Keeping money in the pod, you do not accumulate and lose. The money eaten up by inflation, while it does not matter in what currency they are: inflation is in any country. Besides Potbelly no interest is paid, and thus not yet lost profits.
Putting money in the bank, you are entering into a relationship with a professional financial market participants, who can offer a price of various products. You come into a financial supermarket and have a clear understanding of what you want to buy and why.
Therefore, it is necessary not only be professional purchaser, but also be aware of their risk acceptance threshold, as banking products - it's always a sale of the future, and it is associated with a certain level of risk. Generally banks offer savings products to contribute to the increment of the main body of the deposit and to provide current income. Banking products vary percent and for withdrawal of money.

FAMILY STATEMENTS
The Corporate Finance Department keeps records of not only tax (this holy) and book ("white" and not), and management - a comprehensive. In the management of personal finances is necessary to establish at least one and comprehensive. Third seditious thought: principles used to account for finance companies can and should be used in personal finance. Consider yourself and your family as an entity.
In order to make an assessment of the current condition of the company, you should be familiar with its basic financial documents: a report on the income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement. In order to evaluate your financial condition, you need the same financial statements, but your personal.
Balance - a digital photograph, which reflects itemized all movable and immovable property of value, up to the "bins Motherland" in the closet, closets, boxes, and, if you like, a refrigerator, as well as debts - yours and you then have the assets and liabilities. Or assets + = own funds borrowed.
The balance is made on a specified date, usually at the end date of a period and contains key economic information for analysis and planning. Due to what is an increase in your assets (property) by bank loans, other loans or debts you return (the information contained in liabilities)? You have purchased a washing machine, using consumer credit.
Your property has increased, but there were liabilities in debt that you will have to finance in the future. It could be different: you saved money (see the section on the formation of reserves) on the washing machine (and hence increased the liability gradually due to the money), and as a result of the purchase of one asset - money - turned in the other - the washing machine, with no obligations have not arisen.
We must remember that the assets can be both tangible and intangible. Image, innovative skills and abilities can also make to the balance, if they have a value, but their assessment should be very conservative. It is known that the "show-off" more money ", but not to become good fellows among the sheep, should define the target audience.
It is important to remember that the intangible asset is created for a long time, and obsolete and lose their value may be very fast. So finance and operate at the enterprise level and on a personal level. Profit and loss account shows the revenues and ultimately incurred.
Finally, the costs incurred - this is money that are lived and eaten, that is not materialized in any of your assets. It - food, travel, entertainment, rent, utilities and other current payments. If your expenses have increased your property and accumulated reserves moved into other forms of existence, it belongs to your balance and not to the income statement.
Statement of Cash Flows reports the real state and the movement of your money, records all receipts and payments, and shows the difference between the income (loss) and cash flow. For example, you receive an invoice for payment of utility services in April, and the money in this account to pay in May.
That is, the amount of utility bills will be related to the profit and loss statement in April, but since you do not spend money, the balance sheet of the assets you have this amount is present, as well as in the liabilities in the form of your debt utilities. As you can see, all three statements are interrelated.
Only after a full accounting is made, and continues to be carried out continuously, and you can make informed decisions on planning, budgeting as a tool to control costs, preserve and invest your money.
Answers to the questions of "how", "where" and "in what proportions" will definitely correct and reliable only after implementation of all the above. Anyway…
