Farming: the future of the world

For those who have farm land, don't sell your farm land. It can help you in the future. No matter how much we humans develop, we still need food to live. All over the world people are migrating from villages to cities to develop themselves. In many countries more than 20% of the people are living in cities.

In our country, we are importing many goods which we can grow or make in our country itself. But we don't have people for it. If it continues, our country will be in big trouble in a decade. It’s not only for our country, but entire world will be in trouble.

 It’s the time when the remaining farmers will be rich. Soon all the multinational companies will be concentrating on agricultural business. Many of them have already started. So it’s good if people start concentrating in agricultural activities. The more we start importing, the more our dollar value fall and that may crash the stock market.

I spent all my life in the city but I always wanted to live a country life. I own some piece of land in my town which was owned by my grandpa. But he is no more and that land is mine right now. I rarely go there as it is in the other end of the country and I live in another end of the country. Many of my friends said to sell it as land are in demand for factories. But I don't wanna sale my grandpa's land. Another problem is that, factories will damage the land and soil and its surroundings. I am trying to hire farmers and do the agriculture in it. People around me says that, its a waste of time and money but I can see future of our country in the farming.

In a decade, agricultural business will be the top most sector for every country. Scientists are working on farming in the buildings in the cities because they know that in future we will have a big demand for agricultural land and products.

New businesses can save America

Our country is facing many problems now like recession and unemployment. Starting new businesses can solve these problems. Any kind of legal business from small to large. But the important point to note is that you should hire our people. Don’t hire foreigners. I am not an anti-immigrant. But I want American companies to give preference to Americans. Many companies hire foreigners as they are ready to work with less salary. It can cost you less but its not good for our country.

We got thousands of unemployed people and that’s not good for our country. America is losing its status in the world. Its no more a super power nation as we think. The world don’t respect in the same way as they used to respect us decades ago.

 Its an advice for people who are looking for new jobs to start a new business instead of looking for job. I don’t know whether you get a job of your talent or not but you can create new job opportunities to other people. Use your creativity and come up with some new idea for a new business. Not everyone is a Bill Gates, Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg. But everyone has the same brain. The only difference is that they used it and we didn’t.

Think hard, who knows you may be talented enough to change the entire world. Don’t waste your important time. Think creatively, no matter which field you are in. We are the descendants of the same people who made America as the superpower of the world. We have the same power and talent. Prove yourself to be better than new immigrants.

It doesn’t mean to fight with or hurt the new immigrants. I mean prove the world (and especially to the new immigrants) that we are talented then them. There are plenty of things to achieve. A little thinking can change your life.

Master's Degree: Good or Bad

Many of those who graduated this year or are going to graduate next year will have a question: Whether to go for job or for higher studies? In most of the cases it depends on your interest. But sometimes you need to consider other factors also especially now, as we are be entering another recession.

The first thing you need to think on is that, can you afford it. If yes, then you don’t have any problem. But if you cant, you still for financing options. You can go for loans. But before applying for loan you have to think on many things like interest rates, time duration etc. You can read about student loans in other posts in this site.

Secondly, you have to think whether the degree is worth the money and time you put in it. Some people think that they can get a high salary job with an extra ( or master’s degree). On the other hand others think that they can get experience and promotions in 2 or 3 years in which others complete their degree. Check payscale site to get a clear idea about whether the degree is worth it or not. If you are still confused, ask me.

Each and every career is different. The decision also depends on the career you are in. Some careers require more experience and some require more knowledge. Some requires combination of both.

My suggestion is to go for distance education or online studies, which helps you in getting experience as well as degree. It is cheaper than regular degree.

Tips for investing in Mutual Funds

Image via Wikipedia

An investment made up of a pool of funds collected from many investors for the purpose of investing in securities like stocks, bonds, money market instruments etc. A mutual fund's portfolio is structured and maintained to match the investment objectives stated in its prospectus.In simple, a mutual fund is a professionally managed type of collective investment that pools money from many investors to buy stocks, bonds, short-term money market instruments, and/or other securities.

Its not a simple task. Deciding the best mutual fund is an important task. The first thing to decide is about the  purpose of the mutual fund like retirement, education, or any other purpose, as the level of risk is based on the purpose.

If your purpose is for retirement fund or capital gain then you can go for equity funds. Equity funds are not advised for long term. For retirement you can also go for other low risk investments, if you don’t want to invest in equity. But the longer you stay invested, the better return you get. An important point to note is that mutual funds are not risk free. It is adviced to read all the documents carefully before investing.

Think twice before you decide the plan. after you select the type of mutual fund, collect as much information as possible. Get the list of the companies and also get the prospectus. Befor inverting in a fund, read the prosectuse to find out how long the fund has been operating. Newly created or small funds sometimes have excellent short-term performance as these funds may invest in only small number of stocks. But as these funds grow larger and increase the number of stocks they own, each stock has less impact on the fund’s performance. You can get a better picture of a fund’s performance by looking at how the fund has performed over longer periods.

Fund charges investor fees and expenses. Get a clear picture of fees and associated cost, taxes for all funds and how they affect your returns. Ask all the doubts, terms and condtions before you invest your money.

Gold: The best investment

A couple of weeks ago I said about the importance of gold as an investment. You can read it here. Do you know that the gold price is increased by $200 per ounce, thats an increase by 12.5%.

This increase is due to the shaky stock market. Gold moves opposite to the market. Its the safest investment. Now its getting close to $1750. I think for now it will not increase as it did in previous two weeks. It will move slowly and its the best time for people to buy gold. It will take another month to increase at that speed. You can buy gold bar or gold coins. I am happy that I invested in gold instead of shares.

Gold is consider as the best investment. It helps you during any crisis. Unlike shares and other type of investments, you dont lose anything in case of loss(which is not possible). You will have a minimum guaranteed amount.

It’s important for you to keep your students loan debt under your control to avoid all the extra costs and have an affordable payment. Here are some points to consider for your loan repayment.

The very first thing to think about is the grace period. Different loans have different grace period. Some provide six months of grace period and some provide nine months.  Check your grace period for your students loan with the lender.

Consolidate your loans. It’s good to consolidate all your loans with single monthly payment and single interest rate. Find the best consolidation loan. Take your own to find the best one. Never consolidate your federal loan with the private loan. You don’t have much options in the private loan compared to federal loans. shop around for the best deal available. Consolidation can save a lot of your money.

Inform your lender with all the information up to date. Tell them all the information if you change your address or phone number. if you are unavailable when they need you then it can cost you a lot. Stay out of trouble. if you have any problem with the lender then talk to them and resolve it.

Problems with Credit Card

Image via Wikipedia

Credit card is just a small plastic which helps people to buy goods and services . It helps in buying without having the money. But do we really know about how it causes our life. We will spend more if we use the credit card. We feel the money going out of our pocket when we use cash but we don't feel the same when we use the credit card. A study shows that people spend 47% more while using the credit card. Just think what you can do with that much money. 

I don't prefer using a card and if you want to use a card then use debit card.You may think that you can beat the system by paying the money in time (the fact is  many people don't pay in time) but you can't beat the system.

With the increase in purchasing power the spending tendency of the people also increases. The useless thing also may look important to us. If you want, you can check it by yourself. Use credit card for 1 month and note down all the spending in a paper. In the next month use cash for all purpose and note down the spending in a paper. Then compare both the papers and you will realize the truth. If you still want to use the credit card then think whether the stuff you are going to buy is useful to you or not each and every time before you use your credit card. Pay your debts in time. For money saving tips read my post on save money. You can have your life with credit card but you will have better life without a credit card.
