7 ways to spend money on things that increase in value right

When I started this blog several months ago, I spoke of my spending habits, for me the theme was simple: "If I die tomorrow, that is without limitations?, Which result in: everything I could spend on things I generate momentary satisfactions. Dinners in fine restaurants or fast food fairs, trips and items such as clothing, watches, perfumes, electronics and countless other cases. How many of you have gone through similar situations? Have you ever been asked that question? Where has gone all the money earned? ¿I can increase the value of the money I spend now?

Almost everything we buy, are depreciated over time. How could assert a collection of 15 shirts worn? Or anything that might make if you sell 100 CD's old? The answer is, you would earn much less than that claimed the article.

Now we can spend money on things that increase in value over time, as do my friends René and Ignacio, with notes and coins collection.

What's the catch? Well, those collectibles "increase? in value over time, apart from serving to decorate some of their homes and offices.

Here is what I have I have responded several friends about their ways of buying things that increase in value over time:

Buy Gold: Every time you manage to save some money, this friend bought some gold, may be small, or may be large. Gold never loses value. As time passes, the gold reserves of the precious metal in short supply and increases in value. She has a few gold pieces at home for personal use. The rest, is in a safe deposit box at a bank, which rents with an annual fee of $ 60. She wants to leave that "inheritance? their children.

Buy tickets and ancient coins, as he spoke of this pair of friends, rare coins and banknotes gain value over time. www.ebay www.mercadolibre.com and are alternatives to get good tickets. But beware, this hobby needs a lot of knowledge, know the expensive tickets, etc.. They do it for passion and hobby, but have many years in the collections. The council is to advise you do before you start.

Make your home "green?: Trying to be environmentally efficient. My friend is always looking for ways to reduce energy costs. Place high-efficiency light bulbs, seal the windows, check the weather to adjust the thermostat in your house, special paint colors to increase / decrease the temperature. Until you are buying solar panels! It is best to always try to do the same, so the savings you can see in every electric bill. My advice: recycle paper, plastic, aluminum, with that support the environment and could earn extra money.

Vinyl: When the 2002 national strike, an unemployed friend started a business, buying LPs, vinyl records or salsa, and sold them at www.ebay.com for people ... in Japan could make up to U.S. $ 200 per a vinyl record of Oscar D 'Leon. Do not believe me? Check here and here

Dollars: Believe it or not, remains the currency number 1 in the world. Hold dollars, and are under the bed (although I do not share this method of savings, and later discuss ways to invest more intelligently) is a way to spend money and create value then. Buy euro also is also sensible, especially in these times of global crisis. If you can open your bank accounts where to put that money on! My advice: birthdays, holidays, any occasion where your fathers, uncles or relatives want to give some money for some reason, you could ask to give it in foreign currency, or tell you it deposited into the special account. So avoid the temptation to spend it on what I said in the first paragraph.

Purchase land: You may have to save a lot of the little extra money to do so, but a friend bought land in his native Bolivia for only 2000 U.S. $. He traveled to his plot, to a barbeque under the trees and back. There was nothing built and hoped to do something with it. If he did, the worst thing that could have happened was having to sell the land, but by an amount greater than what he paid. My advice: although often not, if you want to buy land and do not reach this money, encourages another person with the same goals as you and choose to buy, it can be divided later in case of problems.

Tools for working in what you love: If your hobby is gardening, why not buy some tools and provide this service to friends and colleagues? So you'd have extra money for something you love doing. Like you love taking pictures and portraits of people, then buy yourself a good camera, good lenses and flashes to begin to take pictures of your family for a fee. As best in any skill you have, you can increase the value of your work. Sounds interesting, no? This is the secret of my mother, whom I love very much: she has made birthday cakes for at least 1000 people in your life. If each cake had a profit of U.S. $ 10, we were talking about U.S. $ 10,000 in 30 years would have become about 20,000 U.S. $ (considering as example 50 cakes per year X 20 years X 7% interest in the bank). Example of my friend germ and photography.

What are those areas where you spend your money and that can generate value over time, or perhaps give a slight gain? Share it with us and financial security.

In closing I would like to invite you to write your comments about what they love in your life, what better guide could get an easy way to get extra income. Many times what is needed is a little imagination, because the desire and passion already exists. Or not?
