What is fundamental analysis? 🧐
👉 It is the study of how global economic news and other news events affect financial markets. Fundamental analysis encompasses any news event, social force, economic announcement, Federal policy change, company earnings, and news. These are the most important Fundamental data applicable to the Forex market, which is a country’s interest rates and interest rate policy.
👉 The idea behind fundamental analysis is that if a country’s current or future economic picture is strong, its currency should strengthen. A strong economy attracts foreign investment and businesses, meaning foreigners must purchase a country’s currency to invest or start a business there. So, essentially, it all boils down to supply and demand; a country with a strong and growing economy will experience a more robust market for their currency, which will work to lessen supply and drive up the currency’s value.
👉 One main reason a country’s currency becomes more valuable as its economy grows and strengthens is that it will typically raise interest rates to control growth and inflation. For example, if the Australian economy gains strength, the Australian dollar will increase in value relative to other currencies. Higher interest rates are attractive to foreign investors. As a result, they will need to buy Aussie dollars to invest in Australia. Of course, it will drive up the demand and price of the currency and lessen its supply.

WHEN CASHBACK CREDIT CARDS ARE A GOOD IDEA? 👌
If you pay your credit card bill off in full every month, then cashback credit cards can be a great idea. It is because you’re getting rewarded for spending money you would have spent anyway.
If you don’t always pay off your credit card bill in full, then cashback credit cards are not a good choice.
Although you’ll earn cashback on your spending, this will usually be less than the interest charged on your outstanding debt.
HOW DOES CASHBACK WORK? 🤔
If a credit card pays 1% cashback on all purchases, you could earn £50 if your annual spend is £5,000. But make sure you pay your balance off in full each month. Otherwise, the interest charges will almost certainly outweigh the benefits.
Each time you use the card, you earn a percentage of your spending back in the form of cashback.
This cashback pays annually, though some cards will pay cashback monthly. For example, if your card pays 2% cashback and you spend £100 in a shop, you’ll earn £2.
Most cashback cards credit the amount you earned onto your statement, reducing your credit card bill. Some cards send the cashback to a bank account so you can spend it or let you convert it to points or vouchers.
Reward points can usually exchange when you have enough to qualify for a ‘reward.’
👇 Cashback cards come in various forms:
👉 Some will pay a flat rate of cashback, no matter how much you spend or where you spend it.
👉 Others pay tiered rates of cashback depending on how much you spend. For example, 0.5% if you spend less than £6,000 annually and 1% if you spend more. Be careful. It doesn’t tempt you to spend more than you can afford to repay comfortably.
👉 Some cards offer different cashback rates depending on where you spend your money - for example, 1% on money spent in supermarkets, 2% on money spent in department stores, and 3% on energy.

What are bonds?
Bond is security confirming that the person who issued it undertakes to pay, within a certain period, the amount of the bond's par value in cash or another equivalent. Also, the bond may assume the presence of payment of interest or coupon yield to its owner - the investor.
Thus, the yield on a bond consists of two parts: the coupon yield and the difference between the purchase amount and the sale or redemption amount.

5 correct financial habits:
1. Calculate your expenses
The habit of counting your spending can be essential for your financial health. Because when you consider your expenses, you can see spending at the level of the month and year and understand where your money is going. It will help you take control of your spending. It's the first step towards your financial goals.
2. Save some of the money you earn.
If you spend everything you earn rather than invest, you are depriving yourself of the opportunity to set yourself big financial goals and achieve them. On its basis, you can already set financial goals, plan your costs and save and increase your money.
3. Look for a reasonable price.
Please note that this is not about savings but a bargain price. There is nothing wrong with paying a lower price for a good quality product or service. And spending your time looking for a better deal is often more profitable than taking the first available product or service for the sake of speed.
4. Plan your expenses.
By the way, this is what often interferes with saving and saving. Most of the things we use have a limited life. There are, of course, exceptions, but a TV, washing machine, or microwave does not last forever. Many people should build this habit into themselves.
5. Constantly look for opportunities to increase your income.
It is another habit that will serve as another step towards your financial well-being. The first reason to build this habit is inflation. Money in our world is constantly depreciating, and over time our expenses increase, even if we do not change our practices. The second reason is that higher incomes often mean development.

Personal budget and planning 🔝⏱
Just as the state has a budget, so each person should have their budget. Planning income and expenses is financial literacy, and costs should not exceed income. In case of unforeseen life situations, everyone must have a reserve fund - a financial safety cushion.
What is a budget? It's simple - it is essential to know the amount required for the current life and allocate at least a small part of the income for financial purposes every month.
Managing personal finances does not mean that you have to deny yourself everything, be greedy and completely deprive yourself of the joys in life. On the contrary, the idea is to take the quality of life to a new level. The fact is that according to statistics, many people spend 20-30% of their income on spontaneous purchases. After a month, it is already impossible to remember where money is.
These days, dedicated mobile apps help you keep track of your spending.
Start recording all of your expenses, and you will notice how much was spent in a week, month, and year.

Credits and investments
In general, the attitude towards loans among the majority is unequivocally negative. But from the point of view of, for example, professional financiers, it isn’t correct.
Money is money, even borrowed money - it’s a tool you need to know how to use.
It’s always possible and necessary to invest, at least in small amounts. But first, you must figure out your finances.
Credit isn’t a bad thing. For millions of families, it’s a real chance to live in their own homes.
It’s another matter if the loan that you took out does not allow you to live calmly, accumulate a safety cushion, or pay some unexpected expenses.
Usually, in such a situation, it is recommended to try to refinance the credits.
Create at least a small additional source of income - ask for a raise, take a part-time job, including online, and improve your qualifications.
If you take at least one of these steps, it will become easier for you with payments.
It will give you the space to create a financial cushion and invest.

Passive income: what it is and how to get it?💶🙀
When you work and receive a salary, it is an active income. But if you suddenly lose your job for any reason - layoffs, illness, have not gotten along with your boss - this income will be lost. Passive income is money that regularly comes to you, regardless of your age, health, and ability to work. 😿
It is worth taking seriously planning passive income because it is usually created not in a month or even not in a year. First, you need to decide when you will need additional income in three, five, or ten years. Determine how much money you need, for how long, and how often you want to receive payments: once a month until the end of your life, periodically - for example, once every five years, or on some other schedule. Think about how you can save - a little from each salary, from a bonus once a year, or just once when you receive an inheritance. The timing and amounts must, of course, be realistic. Once you have decided on your plans, you can choose the most suitable tools.

What is the difference between a business analyst and a systems analyst?🧐
Although both a business analyst and a systems analysts deal with the process within an organization, there are differences that affect the nuances of their functions. If you consider a business analyst their focus is more on the business and the broader context of the business’s objectives and changes.
📈A systems analyst has a greater focus on the creation and implementation of requirements specific for specific systems with a more technical approach to the work they do.
📊A business analyst’s role might refer more to concepts like company culture, important changes, and training and development whereas a systems analyst would be dedicated to more technical considerations.

How Does a Credit Card Work❓
✔️Credit Limit
Every Credit Card has an upper limit beyond which you cannot spend.
If you try to use the card after you've reached the upper limit, the transaction may be rejected by the Credit Card issuer.
Various factors determine the credit limit - the type of Credit Card that you have, your income and ability to pay, any other debts that you may have, your credit score, and your record of prompt payments.
If your record is good, the Credit Card issue will give you the option of increasing the Credit Card limit.
✔️Interest
By using a Credit Card, you are taking money on credit from the issuer. It's a bit like a loan, on which you may have to pay interest.
However, this is applicable only if you don't pay the entire bill that you get. If you leave some amount pending, you will be charged interest on it.
Interest charged is every month, and not on an annual one.
For example, the interest charged could be 3 percent a month, or around 36 percent a year.
✔️Minimum Payment
There is a minimum amount that you have to pay on your Credit Card bill.
If you don't do that, you could pay a charge for it.
YOu can carry forward any amount, but you will have to pay interest on it.
✔️Billing cycle
This is the fixed period in which you can make purchases until you get the bill.
✔️Balance
Balance is the sum you've spent using your Credit Card, but haven't paid back yet.

✔️ In modern realities, risk is primarily inaction.
✔️ Experienced investors invest in two or three types of assets, gradually increasing the flow of funds from them. It is extremely difficult to make a large profit from one asset.
✔️ People say - I save money for retirement, but why practically no one says: I invest in order to be provided for in retirement.
All these people began to engage in investment activities a long time ago, when there were significantly fewer funds and tools for this. Fortunately, today we have more options and options to help build capital in a much shorter time frame.

8 Surprising Ways to Make Your First Million DollarsEasy? No. Quick? No. Counterintuitive? Yes. And effective!!! 🤑
PART2
✅4. See making money as a way to make more things
Generally speaking, there are two types of people.
One makes things because they want to make money; the more things they make, the more money they make. What they make doesn't really matter that much to them they'll make anything as long as it pays.
The other wants to make money because it allows them to make more things. They want to improve their product. They want to extend their line. They want to create another book, another song, another movie. They love what they make and they see making money as a way to do even more of what they love. They dream of building a company that makes the best things possible...and making money is the way to fuel that dream and build that company they love.
While it is certainly possible to find that one product that everyone wants and grow rich by selling that product, most successful businesses evolve and grow and, as they make money, reinvest that money in a relentless pursuit of excellence.
"We don't make movies to make money, we make money to make more movies." Walt Disney
✅5. Do one thing better
Pick one thing you're already better at than most people. Just. One. Thing. Become maniacally focused at doing that one thing. Work. Train. Learn. Practice. Evaluate. Refine. Be ruthlessly self-critical, not in a masochistic way but to ensure you continue to work to improve every aspect of that one thing.
Financially successful people do at least one thing better than just about everyone around them. (Of course it helps if you pick something to be great at that the world also values and will pay for.)
Excellence is its own reward, but excellence also commands higher pay and greater respect, greater feelings of self-worth, greater fulfillment, a greater sense of achievement... all of which make you rich in non-monetary terms.
Win-win.

8 Surprising Ways to Make Your First Million DollarsEasy? No. Quick? No. Counterintuitive? Yes. And effective!!! 🤑
PART1
Money of course isn't everything. Not by a long shot. Where your definition of success is concerned, money may rank far down the list. Everyone's definition of "success" is different.
✅1. Stop obsessing about money
While it sounds counterintuitive, maintaining a laser-like focus on how much you make distracts you from doing the things that truly contribute to building and growing wealth.
So shift your perspective. See money not as the primary goal but as a byproduct of doing the right things.
✅2. Start tracking how many people you help, even if in a very small way
The most successful people I know both financially and in other ways are shockingly helpful. They're incredibly good at understanding other people and helping them achieve their goals. They know their success is ultimately based on the success of the people around them.
So they work hard to make other people successful: their employees, their customers, their vendors and suppliers...because they know, if they can do that, then their own success will surely follow.
And they will have built a business or a career they can be truly proud of.
✅3. Stop thinking about making a million dollars and start thinking about serving a million people
When you only have a few customers and your goal is to make a lot of money, you're incented to find ways to wring every last dollar out of those customers.
But when you find a way to serve a million people, many other benefits follow. The effect of word of mouth is greatly magnified. The feedback you receive is exponentially greater and so are your opportunities to improve your products and services. You get to hire more employees and benefit from their experience, their skills, and their overall awesomeness.
And in time, your business becomes something you never dreamed of because your customers and your employees have taken you to places you couldn't even imagine.
Serve a million people and serve them incredibly well and the money will follow.
