Latest Hutchinson Financial Video Teaches Essentials of Saving and Investing
Little Rock, Arkansas (PRWEB) September 19, 2013 -- Most people know it’s important to save and invest money over time, but many do not know how to get started. Hutchinson Financial, Inc., is here to help with the most recent video in the Financial Briefing Video Series, “How to Get Started Saving and Investing.”
Eric Hutchinson, President of Hutchinson Financial, begins the educational online video with a common golden rule of monetary saving.
“A good rule of thumb for most people is to learn to live on 80-85 percent of their net take home pay,” Hutchinson said. “This means that you would be saving 15-20 percent of your net income, at a minimum.”
The idea of living on less, he said, can certainly be daunting for some people, who might be living paycheck to paycheck. But no matter what a person’s personal financial situation is, now is always the best time to start.
Even a savings rate of 1 percent of a person’s net income is a move in the right direction, Hutchinson said in the video. For example, this can be accomplished by packing lunch instead of eating out during the work day, or making coffee at home instead of purchasing a cup of coffee on the way to work.
The first savings goal for nearly everyone should be to have an emergency savings account equivalent of three to six months’ living expenses.
“Once you have three to six months in cash savings that is readily accessible if you really needed it, then you have established an important foundation for your financial future,” according to Hutchinson.
