Budgeting involves planning spending based on earnings. People should save 10% of net pay and spend the rest on expenses, with no more than 30% of take-home pay going to housing costs. When preparing a budget, one determines monthly income and expenses, savings plans, and creates a monthly statement. Income sources include regular pay, bonuses, and benefits, while expenses are fixed costs like rent and variable costs like food and recreation. People should have a reserve of 2-3 months' pay for unexpected costs.

Andrea Berardi presents the results of Project COBRA at the 13th International Public Communication of Science and Technology Conference in Brazil on the theme of “science communication for social inclusion and political engagement”.
Andrea Berardi is in Salvador, Brazil to present the results of Project COBRA at the 13th International Public Communication of Science and Technology Conference (http://www.pcst-2014.org/index.php/en/). The theme of the conference is “science communication for social inclusion and political engagement”, and it is a great opportunity to promote indigenous ‘visual science’ within academia, development practitioners and policy makers. The session Andrea is presenting in is appropriately titled “Local community knowledge and global context” and Andrea will make a strong case for the need for policy makers, academia and practitioners to engage with ‘indigenous science’. In the conclusion to the presentation’s paper, the COBRA team argue that COBRA’s participatory, visual and systemic approach has enabled wider stakeholder groups, including policy makers, to recognise the contextual, subjective and non-material dimensions of indigenous life.

how to sell pi coins in South Korea profitably.DOT TECH
Yes. You can sell your pi network coins in South Korea or any other country, by finding a verified pi merchant
What is a verified pi merchant?
Since pi network is not launched yet on any exchange, the only way you can sell pi coins is by selling to a verified pi merchant, and this is because pi network is not launched yet on any exchange and no pre-sale or ico offerings Is done on pi.
Since there is no pre-sale, the only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners. So a pi merchant facilitates these transactions by acting as a bridge for both transactions.

The Evolution of Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) in India: Challenges...beulahfernandes8
Role in Financial System

NBFCs contribute significantly to India's GDP.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

Budgeting
Text Reference: Chapter 1, Section 8
$ Budgeting can be defined as a PLAN for spending your money. It is used
to help people or business manage their expenses relative to their total
earnings.
$ Financial planners suggest you pay yourself 10% of your net pay. This
10% should be used for a savings plan or investments. Once you have
paid yourself, the rest of the income to pay your expenses.
$ Total housing costs should not be more than 30% of your take home pay.
This includes all the costs of living in a home (rent, mortgage payments,
utility bills, maintenance, repair costs and taxes.
What to do when preparing a budget:
$ Determine your MONTHLY average income.
$ Determine your monthly fixed and variable expenses.
$ Determine a savings plan (for a reserve fund and investments).
$ Prepare a monthly budget statement.
2. $ To set up a budget you first must estimate your income. It is
important that you do not overestimate. If you are unsure, then
underestimate.
Income includes:
Regular income (net pay)
Other Income
Bonuses
Tips
Overtime payments
Tax refund
Additional income
Child tax benefits
Pensions
Insurance benefits
Interest payments
$ Analyze your current regular spending habits to estimate your
expenses.
Fixed Expenses – definite expenses that must be paid at regular
intervals.
Mortgage or rent
Personal Loan
Telephone
Hydro
Car Insurance, taxes that are paid yearly but need to be
budgeted for monthly.
Variable Expenses – expenses that vary from month to month
Food
Clothing
Recreation
Vehicle maintenance
$ Reserve Fund - It is a good idea to have a reserve of two to three month’s
pay to meet unexpected expenses that may occur. If your expenses exceed
your income, you will use the money from the reserve fund to cover the
extra expenses.
$ Budgets – can be set up based on any time period you wish but budgets
usually coincide with your pay periods. For these lessons budgets are set
up on a monthly basis.
