Are you Saving Enough for Retirement? Check Out This Rule of Thumb

Are your retirement savings enough to live comfortably during your golden years? The March edition of Money Magazine has some guidelines to help you answer that $64,000 question. Before we get to the guidelines, it is important to understand that they are built on a number of assumptions. 

Read More .The article is written by Rob Berger

Is your cheque book CTS compliant?

Source: Myiris
Your old cheque leaves may not be valid after Dec. 31, 2012, as the RBI has instructed all banks to implement the Cheque Truncation System (CTS) across the country. This calls for your immediate action to make sure that your cheque book is CTS compliant.
 
What CTS is
 
Under the CTS system, the physical movement of cheques between banks will be eliminated.
 
Normally, when you issue a cheque to someone, he presents the cheque in his bank to get the credit.
 
The cheque then moves physically from his bank to your bank which involves a lot of time and risk. RBI recognised the disadvantages of this old system and brought about CTS, where instead of the physical movement of the cheque, an electronic image of the cheque is transmitted to the drawee branch.
 
The presenting bank (which is the bank of the person to whom you had issued the cheque to) retains the physical cheque.
 
Along with the electronic image, certain key relevant information is also transmitted, such as date of presentation, presenting bank details, data on the MICR band.
 
Features
 
The CTS-2010 is not just a change in the process of cheque clearing. The change in the system is apparent even on the cheque leaf you use.
 
A CTS compliant cheque leaf is different from a normal cheque leaf you currently use, and has certain distinct features.
 
Cheque printer details: This is printed on the extreme left hand side of the cheque.
 
The printer details along with the words 'CTS-2010' is mentioned along the area where you tear off the leaf from the cheque book.
 
Rupee symbol: The new symbol of the Indian rupee is printed beside the area where the amount in figures needs to be written.
 
Details of the bank and its logo: The bank details and its logo are printed on the face of the cheque. However, it is printed in invisible ink.
 
Signature space indicator: The words 'please sign above' are mentioned indicating the space where you will need to sign the cheque.
 
VOID pantograph: This is a wavelike design, which is visible to the naked eye and seen below the area where the account number is printed.
 
CTS-compliant cheques are safer than old cheques.
 
Benefits
 
The scope for committing frauds is greatly reduced due to the various security checks in place. The CTS helps in speedy clearance of cheques resulting in faster credit to your account. This is because there is no physical movement of cheques and hence time is saved. Further, the absence of physical movement also eliminates the risk of loss of cheque in transit. The different locations are proposed to be integrated under this system in order to cut geographical restrictions in cheque clearing.
 
You must first ensure that you use only CTS-2010 compliant cheque leaves from January 1, 2013. You can check if you hold a CTS compliant cheque book by verifying if the cheque leaves have the features mentioned above. You need to apply in your bank for the same and it is available free of cost.
 
If you have any unused cheque leaves with you, these must be surrendered in your bank. Another critical area to take note of is that you must exchange any old post-dated cheques you may have given to anyone, which are dated after Jan. 1, 2013, with new CTS-compliant cheques immediately. These may include post-dated cheques given for your home loan or auto loan too. RBI has advised to preferably use dark coloured ink while writing CTS cheques.

Differrence between savings & investing

Check out the difference between saving and investing ,explained by Asav Patel of http://www.myjourneytobillionaireclub.com/ .
 
Savings means you Save the money at the end of the month after deducting all the expenses.

While Investing means making your money work for you so that it can multiply.

In Professional language, Investing means acquiring assest out of your money. Assets appreciate in its value over the time and make u rich and financially free.

Investment is the game of making money out of money. But if you never save your money, you will never invest it and thus u can never b financially free and rich.

Book - Rich Dad Poor Dad

Rich Dad Poor Dad is a book by Robert Kiyosaki. It advocates financial independence through investing, real estate, owning businesses, and increasing one's financial intelligence.
Rich Dad Poor Dad is written in the style of a set of parables, ostensibly based on Kiyosaki's life. Kiyosaki stresses the ownership of high value assets, rather than being an employee as a recurring theme in the book's chapters.

Summary:

The book is largely based on Kiyosaki's upbringing and education in Hawaii. It highlights the different attitudes to money, work and life of two men (i.e. his titular "rich dad" and "poor dad"), and how they in turn influenced key decisions in Kiyosaki's life.
Among some of the book's topics are:
  • Robert Kiyosaki's personal story
  • The difference between assets and liabilities
  • What the rich teach their kids about money that the poor and middle class do not
  • The idea that your house is not an asset, unless you are using it to produce revenue
  • The value of financial intelligence and financial literacy
  • How corporations spend first, then pay taxes, while individuals must pay taxes first
  • How corporations are artificial entities that anyone can use, but the poor usually do not know how
  • The importance of investing and entrepreneurship
Kiyosaki advocated Dr. Buckminster Fuller's views on wealth, that wealth is measured by the number of days the income from your assets can sustain you, and financial independence is achieved when your monthly income from assets exceeds your monthly expenses.
