Opportunities for Saving money is everywhere. Whenever you pay for a good or service, the is an opportunity to save. Using coupons, discounts, bargaining, deferring buying decision, etc. can be used almost every time you pay. But saving money when there’s little or no possibility can be sometimes taxing for people around you.They may not like the idea of you bargaining everywhere you go out for shopping or asking for discounts. also saving money works best when you do budget for some fun.

Just as a physical moat protects a castle and keeps it thriving, an economic moat protects long-term returns, along with a company’s earnings. For example, Visa and MasterCard have a huge network of connected merchants. New competitors would have to invest a significant amount of time and money to build a similar network. In this case, the size and scope of the network is the moat.

Create a Moat Around Investment

The size then makes merchants stay with Visa and MasterCard, as their scale gives them pricing power. Visa and MasterCard’s economic moat limits competition, making their earnings more consistent and predictable. Not only Visa and MasterCard, but all other moats produce returns and help protect earnings. As earnings grow over the long-term, so will the value of your investment. In this article, we will discuss how to find and analyze modern-day moats.

Arguably, world is right now experiencing it;s latest extinction level event, which is human induced. Since last thousands of years human beings caused extinction of large species of animals and plants. Now we are in self-distracting mode. In a way we are about to wipe out every living being on this planet. If we don’t stop what we are doing now. That is damage we are causing to our environment. Unless every one of us start playing our part, we are in irreversible path of self-annihilation. This is not my theory. Read about Holocene extinction event on Wiki. How can you help?

Saving Environment

Let’s talk about how we can do our bit. Earth will still be around after thousands of years after our death. This gradual extinction will occur over a million years. But we can leave a better place for our children if we contribute towards cleaner and greener environment. Perhaps our children could learn from us and do greater things for the planet.

If you are looking to start a new business, establishing a solid financial base should be one of your main concerns. Whether you are intending to set yourself up as a sole trader or register a limited liability partnership with a trusted acquaintance, it pays to think like an accountant. Developing a financial plan for your business might seem like a chore, but it is something you cannot afford to ignore.

Keeping your start-up costs down

One of the most crucial tasks you will need to get to grips with is working out your start-up costs and keeping them to a minimum. The less you spend on setting up your business, the less you will have to turn over to breakeven and the more likely you will be to see your business through the first 12 months without falling into a financial crisis.

Depending on the nature of the business you are intending to launch, your premises costs are likely to be one of your greatest overheads. If you can start your business without having that financial burden, you will be more likely to see your business thrive in the long run.
