Personal Finance

The first month of the year is almost to it's end and I haven't organized my finances, needs updating my accounting of expenses, let alone my thoughts on how the goals would be met. One of the ways to manage my personal finance would be...

Part I.... Earned Income: spend less than we earn and invest the balance.

Asset Allocation: split balance into 3 parts, Reserve, Growth and Momentum. Based on age and aggressiveness.. the allocation will be different. I am more aggressive hence I am using 30% Reserved, 35% Momentum, 35% Growth model. Those who are more aggressive would probably settle for a 35/30/30 model.

Reserves: are for emergencies, unless it is a life and death situation, I must not touch it! Invest reserves into very low risk investments.

Growth: Are for midterm, low risk-low income to long term returns like real estate, business, etc.

Momentum: High risk-high reward and fast trading activities examples are forex, business, carry trade, stocks, options, etc


PART II:
When I get my returns from Growth... I will split it into 3 portions and put 1/3 into Reserve, 1/3 into Growth and 1/3 into Momentum. When I get my returns from Momentum It would be split into 4 portions and put 1/4 into Reserve, 1/4 into growth, 1/4 into momentum and 1/4 into Dream.

Dream: Is for the reward on the hard work we've done.

this would be my first post, obviously a novice... am still trying to navigate around this site, will try to "personalize" it first... look around, how "things" are done, learn how to insert some "designs".
