Hold dollars and are under the bed (though not I share this method of savings, and later discuss ways to invest smarter) is a way to spend the money and then create value. Buy euros also is also sensible, especially in these times of world crisis. If you can open accounts in your bank where to put that money, aadelante! My advice: birthdays, holidays, any occasion where your parents, uncles or family willing to give you some money for some reason, I could ask you to give in foreign currency, or tell you what this special account deposit. So avoid the temptation to spend it on what I said in the first paragraph. Buying a lot: You may have to save a lot of that extra money to do so, but a friend bought land in his native Bolivia for only 2000 U.S.
$. He traveled to his plot, to a barbeque under the trees and returned. There was nothing built and hoped to do something with it. If he did, the worst thing that could have happened was having to sell the land, but in an amount greater than what he paid. My advice: even if not often, if you would like to buy land and that money does not reach you, encourages another person with the same goals as you and choose to buy it, it can be divided later in case of problems. Tools to work on what you love: If your hobby is gardening, why not buy some tools and offer this service to friends and colleagues? So you would have extra money for something you love doing. You like to take pictures and you love taking portraits of people, since buy yourself a good camera, good lenses and flashes to start snapping pictures with your family for a small fee. As best in any skill you have, you can increase the value of your work.
Sounds interesting, right? This is the secret of my mother whom I love very much: she has made birthday cakes for at least 1000 people in your life. If each cake had a profit of U.S. $ 10, we were talking about U.S. $ 10,000 in 30 years they had become about 20,000 U.S. $ (Considering as example 50 cakes per year X 20 years X 7% interest in the bank). Example of my friend Herman and photography. What are those areas where you spend your money and they can generate value over time, or maybe give you a slight gain? Share it with us and financial security. In closing I would like to invite you to write your comments about what they love in your life, maybe the guide could get an easy way to get some extra money. Often what is needed is a little imagination, because the desire and passion already exists.
