My Income Portfolio: Financial Analysis

Decent Essays
believe that the alternative that I have chosen will have a positive effect on my credit score. After all, in addition to my salary my income portfolio will provide me with extra income of regular dividends and interest payments that can be used to help my bills such as credit card, car and student loans, and mortgages. Moreover, paying my credit card debt promptly will most likely result in obtaining an excellent credit utilization rate. The Credit utilization rate means that the amount of credit card debt that I’ve charged vs. the amount of credit card access I have available is between 25-30%. As a matter of fact, a payment record that shows no late payment for at least the past several years and your credit utilization rate are the single

    Based on the interest inventory test, Shevaun has an interest in books relating to sports, family, friendship and jokes. I decided to use lexile.com to assist me with choosing books based on Shevaun’s interest and instructional reading level.

    Summary: Credit Card Debt

    • 223 Words
    • 1 Pages

    The four articles I read give several solutions for why students abuse credit cards. As the article “Credit Card Debt a Big Concern on College Campuses” says one of the solutions that students pay debt off on time. The same article explains another solutions that students stay away from multiple credit cards. I think the solution that students pay debt off on time is better than the solution that students stay away from multiple credit cards, because if students can pay it off on time, students will never get trouble in debt. Even though students only have one credit card, they also can have high-level debt if they don’t pay it off on time.…

    Gap insurance is meant to cover the gap between the value of your vehicle and the amount that is sill owed on the vehicle in the event of a car wreck. At one point, many people who lease or take out a loan on a car owe more money towards the loan than what the actual car is worth. This is most common if the car is fairly new. The car’s value depreciates immediately after you drive it off the dealership. Therefore, if your car becomes completely totaled during this time frame you may end up owing a lot of money.…

    First and foremost, I would just like to comment that this video is rather outdated. I think now the situation has worsened because the debt has increased immensely since 2013 and more people (mostly illegal immigrants and/or the unemployed) are given access to welfare benefits. The video mentions how the introduction of the 401k plan initially seemed like a reliable way to prepare for retirement but then the reality of it became apparent. As stated in the video, "The 401k is one of the only products that Americans buy that they don't know the price of . . . it's one of the products that Americans buy that they don't know its danger.…

    If you are like most Americans, you have left school with thousands of dollars in student loans (the average is about $20,000 for a four-year undergrad degree). If you have gone through graduate school, you may owe tens of thousands of dollars on your student loans. It can be discouraging to finish school, look around, and realize that you owe as much for you education as a house would cost. And to make matters worse, often those federal loans are a mix of subsidized and unsubsidized loans. Plus, they are often divided up into separate loans per year - or even per semester.…

    Many people misunderstand debt as an always bad thing, and properly utilize it as the useful tool it can be. There is definitely a case for always avoiding debt, but it’s only really feasible for a specific person trying to live a specific lifestyle. As many of you have already said, it’s basically impossible for the average American to never go into debt at some point in their lives. However, while complete debt avoidance is a stretch, sometimes debt is an option, and not always the right one for everybody. Taking on debt at the wrong time or in the wrong situation won’t build credit, in fact, it’ll probably hurt it.…
