Do you have a surplus of cash at the end of each month? Or like so many of us, do you find yourself wishing payday would come sooner?

It doesn't have to be this way. There are practical things you can do to increase your surplus each month:

* Have a monthly income plan so you know exactly what bills need paying and what you are left with
* Ensure you earmark some cash for unexpected costs / emergencies
* Plan what you will spend on treats

This is very basic financial planning - something that should be taught in schools, but sadly isn't.

Understanding your finances and budgeting helps you take control and can dramatically change your life.

Why not follow Hug ☝️for more tips to help you get ahead.

What if we said you don't really deposit money at your bank? What if we said banks don't work by lending your money to other people, but instead just create new money out of thin air?

If an ever-increasing amount of money goes into circulation, without a gold standard pe***ng its value, that could be dangerous, right?

It would decrease your money's buying power (making it worth less, eroding your savings), increase inflation, affect interest rates, increase asset prices for the few that can afford them?

Does this sound familiar to you?

If you want to improve your understanding of personal finance, the economy and how to grow wealth, you need to first understand money. Check out this weekly 3 min read
