Start The New Year With Savings In Mind

12/9/2022

The new year is approaching! Make a resolution to pay yourself first and help set yourself up for a comfortable financial future. Here are some best practices to get your savings up to par:

Start an Emergency Fund 

An emergency fund is an essential part of any personal financial strategy. How is yours looking? If you only have a few hundred dollars set aside, you need to strengthen that safety net. A good emergency fund should cover your essential living costs for three to six months. If you’re not sure how much that is, it’s time to start keeping track of what you spend.

Remember, once your emergency fund is built up, resist the temptation to spend it on a non-emergency purchase. Even if you see a really good deal on a lifestyle upgrade — a new car, for example — keep your hands off the emergency money. When Murphy’s Law inevitably strikes, you’ll be glad you did.

Find Extra Cash in Your Closet, Basement and Attic

Here’s a trick to get that emergency fund started: spend a weekend or two going through all your possessions. Set aside things you don’t need anymore in two piles: items to sell and items to donate. The money you make from the sales can be put toward your emergency fund or savings. 

Take Care of Your Debts

Make sure you’re current on all debt payments, and consider paying off some of the principal for any high-rate loans like student debt. You’ll need to weigh your options carefully. Paying off high interest credit card debt is often better than contributing to savings. On the other hand, paying off lower interest debt isn’t always the most beneficial move you can make for your financial position. In some cases, like a mortgage, you can deduct interest payments from your income tax — in which case you might be better off investing your money.

Put Your Money to Work

If you’ve got your emergency fund built up and your debt is properly managed, you can start really putting your money to work with investments. Check if your employer has a retirement savings matching program. If so, you should contribute enough for the highest possible match. It might not seem exciting, because you don’t “get” the money now, but an employer match is basically free money. This is one of the best financial moves you can make.

Investing is a complex subject, so make sure you get some reliable advice. Your employer may offer an advisor, but otherwise, look for an expert who upholds a “fiduciary” standard. This means that the advice they give you is absolutely in your best interest, rather than advice than can help them earn higher commission.

If you can, set up an auto deposit so that a fraction of every paycheck automatically ends up in your savings. Even the most diligent savers are susceptible to accidentally missing a savings deposit once in awhile, so opting into auto deposit is a great guarantee that you’ll reach your goals. Saving money isn’t always as attractive as other options for your disposable income. Here’s how you can make it a little sweeter: every time you put money away, picture your future, retired self on a beach reaching back through time to give you a high-five!

+27717403094 Powerful Court Case Spells to Get Charges Dismissed - Get Your Court Case Dropped Fast
4/2/2025 9:39 AM Abdul B. from Hudson, NY
Court case spells are powerful rituals designed to influence legal matters, ensuring justice, fairness, or a favorable outcome in legal disputes. These spells are commonly used to sway decisions in your favor, protect you from wrongful accusations, or ensure the truth comes to light. They can help boost confidence, clarity, and influence in courtrooms or legal proceedings.

Typically, court case spells incorporate elements like herbs (e.g., calendula or bay leaves), candles (often yellow or brown), and written petitions. Through rituals performed, I invoke spiritual forces, deities of justice, or ancestors for guidance and support. These spells are intended to align energies for victory while reinforcing your determination to fight for your cause.

Note: Court case spells are meant to work as spiritual support and should never replace legal representation or proper preparation for your case.

A "Must Win a Court Case" spell is a focused magical ritual designed to bring victory in legal matters by influencing the energies surrounding your case. These spells are often used to promote fairness, reveal the truth, and ensure favorable outcomes in legal disputes or courtroom battles.

This type of spell commonly involves tools such as yellow, green, or brown candles (symbolizing justice, success, and grounding), herbs like chamomile, bay leaves, or high john root for luck and strength, and written petitions specifying the desired outcome. Practitioners may also call upon divine forces, spirits of justice, or ancestors to guide them through the process. Prevent witnesses from testifying against you or make them give testimonies that do not implicate you using court case freezer spells. Win any court case with powerful court victory spells. Make the charges against you be dropped & win any legal case using powerful court case spells to have charges against you be dropped. My court case spells will help you have criminal & civil court cases against you be dropped. Spiritually influence the outcome of legal matters in your favor using court spells to have your charges dropped. Win any legal matter using legal spells that will align the ancestral spirits & universal forces on your side & change your destiny.

This spell is perfect for those seeking a spiritual edge to reinforce their legal efforts. However, it is essential to pair it with proper legal preparation, sound advice, and lawful actions for the best results.

Justice Spells

Justice spells are powerful rituals designed to bring fairness, accountability, and balance to situations where injustice has occurred. These spells focus on aligning universal energies to ensure truth prevails and wrongdoers face the consequences of their actions. They can also be used to protect the innocent, resolve disputes, and restore harmony in challenging circumstances.

Justice spells often incorporate symbolic tools like white candles (for truth and purity), black candles (for banishing injustice), and herbs such as sage, bay leaves, or nettle. Some rituals may include invoking deities or spirits associated with justice, such as Ma’at, Themis, or Archangel Michael, to assist in the pursuit of fairness.

Ideal for legal battles, workplace conflicts, or personal grievances, justice spells act as a spiritual ally, helping to reveal the truth and rebalance the scales. These spells should be used with pure intent and not for malicious purposes, as their energy aligns with the principles of universal fairness.
