JOBHITCH'S 3 STEPS TO BUILDING BUDGET

Do you make a budget before payday, or you just spend as you are handed the money?
Some Nigerians have a list of needs, wants and bills before payday, but do they actually make a budget so as to implement the majority of what they have on their list?

Many find it difficult to stick to a budget with an abundant of temptations and luxuries. What they tend to forget is that a budget can be handy, especially when you are in debt.

Not only is a budget an essential tool in building your financial wealth, it allows you to financially assess whether or not you can afford certain luxuries in your life before you commit to buying them.

By drawing up a budget, you are able to distinguish between your absolute essentials such as payments on your car, rent , water, lights and school fees, as opposed to other luxury purchases such as eating out, entertainment and retail shopping.

JobHitch also recommends following a budget if you are currently experience money issues and your debt seems to be piling up around your ears. Following a budget helps you plan for what you are going to do to decrease your debt and where you can compromise to ensure your debt is paid back timorously and without penalties.

JobHitch gives 3 steps to building a budget below;

HOW TO IDENTIFY FRAUDULENT JOB ADVERTS

Have you ever received an invitation to interview for a job you never applied for and in a company you barely know?

Did you ever attend a job interview only to be asked to pay some amount for one thing or another?

In today’s world, it has become almost the norm to take advantage of and defraud earnest job seekers who are perceived to be gullible especially with the proliferation of online job listings and applications. There have been instances where after participating at the National Youth Service Corp, you receive phone calls from people claiming to have served with you and who have uncles or aunties in some big companies that are hiring, asking you to pay for some ridiculous amount to fast track it. More often than not, these are from scammers looking for people to prey on.
