Episode 5 - Financial Readiness Friday: Mission Money - Difference Between Interest Rate and APR
Send us a textIn this episode, I talk about how interest rate and annual percentage rate (APR) are both crucial components when it comes to borrowing money, but they serve distinct purposes and can sometimes be confused. While the interest rate solely represents the cost of borrowing or the return on investment, the APR incorporates additional fees and charges, providing borrowers with a more complete understanding of the total cost involved. When evaluating loan or investment options, it's essential to consider both the interest rate and the APR to make informed financial decisions.Support the showThanks for listening, please download and leave a review.Remember, you don't have to embrace the suck, if you have the right tools in your ruck!

Episode 3 - Financial Readiness Friday: Mission Money - Five Ways to Have a Better Quality Of Life
Send us a textIn this episode of Financial Readiness Friday: Mission Money, I talk about how living a better life financially involves strategic planning and disciplined habits. Firstly, establishing a budget and tracking expenses diligently enables better control over spending and promotes savings. Secondly, investing in oneself through education or skill development can lead to higher earning potential and career advancement. Thirdly, cultivating a habit of regular saving, even small amounts, builds a financial safety net for unexpected expenses or future goals. Fourthly, minimizing debt by paying off high-interest loans or credit card balances reduces financial stress and frees up funds for wealth-building endeavors. Lastly, diversifying income sources, such as starting a side business or investing in stocks or real estate, can create additional streams of revenue and long-term financial stability. By incorporating these strategies into daily life, individuals can pave the way towards a more secure and prosperous financial future.Support the showThanks for listening, please download and leave a review.Remember, you don't have to embrace the suck, if you have the right tools in your ruck!
