			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">In the personal finance knowledge, any good financial decisions will provide more value for the future than the present. Think of good decisions you have ever made, choosing to cook food at home or eating in restaurants, take public transportation or ride bike to work instead of taking own car to save gas, buy education insurance or investment products for children and so on. All this leads to a principle that is save more for the future. <span id="more-3"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Conversely, any bad financial decisions will provide more value to the present than the future. For example, how many times we are tempted to buy things we want but there is no budget for that item. Buying with credit will usually be made to realize this desire.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Any good decisions in managing the family finance are able to provide benefits in the future. Reckless spending are only useful in the present, while using the money wisely to be able to save money will be useful for our future and family, especially for our retirement future.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Retirement is a time where we no longer produce. Retirement can come to us anytime. There are also things that could make us forced to retire before its time, whether because of accident or other reasons. Retirement is something that has to be prepared from now. So, have we prepared and fill the barn for retirement time?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Health is one of the most precious gifts. Pain is almost always being suck experience. In addition to the perceived pain, also have to spend large sums of money for treatment. Not to mention if the disease is forcing us to not work for some time. How difficult the circumstances. <span id="more-32"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With the increasing the cost of health care, no doubt health insurance become a must for all people. Also keep in mind that there is no never too young to participate in health insurance because of illness and misfortune can befall anyone, no matter how old.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To select the appropriate health insurance, we need to consider a number of things:<br />
1. Dependents vs. premium: The amount of premium you pay will depend on the value and type of responsibility that we want. However, we do not need to spend money in quantities too large to adequately protect themselves.<br />
2. Value of protection you already have: Almost all employees get health insurance coverage from an employer. For disability, we also have the additional protection of Social Security. In addition, we also receive the protection of an accident when we traveled in a particular mode of transportation. Input all values of this protection into the frame value that we need protection, and if the amount has not sufficient, then we add as needed.<br />
3. Riders: To obtain optimal protection, it is recommended optimizing the choice of additional benefits (riders) that are provided such as for critical illness, outpatient, accident and disability. It is recommended to prioritize riders to protection of critical illness in order to avoid the nightmare scenario above happened. For others, adjust needs of each. For example, if traveled, or have a lot of work accident risks, take protection of accident insurance in the options.<br />
4. Wide network: This includes non-financial aspects are most important in determining choices. Preferred Insurance should have a broad network that will no difficulty in finding a partner hospital in case of unwanted things. Also try to cover the selected works with at least one hospital close to home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Most people focus on the salary they received from a job, and not ignoring other forms of compensation. Remember that salary is only one component of compensation! So do not be excited if you get a salary offer that is more than your expectations, but look at other components used.<span id="more-37"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The compensation is divided into components of monetary and non monetary. In monetary compensation, there is a direct reward in the form of salaries, commissions, bonuses, and incentives and rewards such indirect benefits of transport, health or housing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you are working in the field of sales, so naturally when you get a small salary or even not at all. But when you reach or even exceed the target, you probably will get a huge commission. There are many people who have managed to become rich from the commission, for example insurance agent or real estate agent. Next important is the incentive or bonus. Many companies give their employees bonuses, even two or three times a year and each time bonuses can amount to at least buy a new motorcycle or cash advance for car payments.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some companies provide transportation allowances, whether in the form of money or vehicles service. There was also a facility that provides housing. Others provide income tax benefits. One more thing that seems to be observed is compulsory health insurance. In the middle of the growing health costs expensive, very important if you have health protection, either directly by the company or any third party through insurance companies.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On the other hand non-monetary compensation should also being calculated. Are you going to have challenges and responsibilities that enough? Do you have flexible working hours? Is your work environment attractive? Is there you can provide benefits to many people? Could you get a chance to learn as entrepreneurship capital in future?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Well, is now your time for choosing a new job? Review all components of compensation before you decide. In the perspective of personal finance, monetary compensation is a big contribution to support your financial goals, but remember to also calculate non-monetary compensation equal importance.</p>
