According to the SBA, almost half of new businesses are no longer around after 5 years. A figure that’s a little more optimistic than what most business articles would have you believe – especially in today’s economy. But even if that’s the case, this figure could still be higher if only small entrepreneurs have guidance on what it takes to have a business succeed.
So you're one of those people. You wait until the last possible second to prepare and submit your taxes. You don't think it's such a big deal—you had other things to do, and preparing your taxes was the last thing on your mind. But did you know that being a tax procrastinator can actually be costing you money? Why accountants charge more for tax procrastinators.

To ensure all his work is concise, clear, and free of any grammatical errors he always proofs his texts. In his off time he loves to get lost in the wild Vegas nightlife. Finally the weather outside isn’t so frightful anymore! When spring comes, we’re often inspired to get out of the house and do something fun. It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement and end up spending a small fortune on spring activities. To avoid breaking the bank, here are some fun ideas that are also incredibly cheap.

Alexandra Kelly is a school teacher and mother who is used to having to entertain a family on a tight budget. She is also used to proper grammar and always encourages her kids to proof their work before turning it in. She is currently grading an enormous stack of essays while drinking a nice red wine. Have you ever heard the saying "penny wise, but pound foolish"? There's a lot of truth to that phrase. Sometimes, trying to cut costs can end up leaving you out of pocket in the long run. Here are five times when people often try to save money, and end up paying out even more in the long run. Avoiding Maintenance So, you've been avoiding replacing the rubber seal on your washing machine because you can't believe that a ring of rubber costs so much. That's a bad idea. Buying a new washing machine would cost even more, and that's what you might need to do if the seal leaks. Spending a few pounds could save you a few hundred down the line. Buying Cheap, Low Quality Items You may think you're picking up a bargain when you choose the cheapest item in the shop, but there's a big difference between quality oak doors and cheaper veneered wood. High quality, environmentally friendly reclaimed doors will last a lifetime. There's a good chance those veneered doors will start looking shabby almost immediately after you put them on their hinges. If you come to sell your home, you'll be wishing you'd paid an extra few pounds for oak doors that would have impressed prospective buyers, and you could lose out on a quick sale because you failed to make a good first impression. Dodging Health Care OK, so nobody wants to go to the dentists, but don't try to fool yourself into thinking you're saving money by not going. Paying a small amount for regular treatment is a much better decision (financially, and health wise), than avoiding treatment until you're in agony and need medication and a nice long session complete with anaesthetic and a drill. Insufficient Insurance It's true that insurance is an oversold thing these days. It doesn't make sense to buy an extended warranty on a bargain basement device. It does, however, make sense to keep your home insurance, health insurance, and travel insurance up to date. You may never need it, but the one time you do, you'll want to make sure that you're covered for whatever disaster you encounter. Buying Lower Spec Products Than You Need This issue is similar to the one of oak reclaimed doors vs veneered doors, but with a technology twist. While a well made, high quality electronic product might be perfectly serviceable for other people, if it doesn't meet your needs (or just barely meets them), there's no point buying it. If you're upgrading your computer so that it meets the system requirements for a video game that you want to play, work out your budget and try to get the best possible system you can for the money. Sometimes, even spending a relatively small amount more can make a big difference to the power of the product you're getting. Doesn't it make sense to spend a little more now, if that will mean that you'll get an extra 6 months or a year life out of your graphics card? |
