methods we </span><span lang=\"EN-US\">are </span><span lang=\"BG\">all </span><span lang=\"EN-US\">familiar with</span><span lang=\"BG\"> and </span><span lang=\"EN-US\">that many of us </span><span lang=\"BG\">use to calculate our personal finances.
The <strong>A</strong></span><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\">imiya financial goal</span></strong><span lang=\"BG\"> software program has all the basic tools
for this, yet many people continue to use other calculating methods.
Professionals in the financial world are daily working with calculations to
analyze derivatives, like stock options, future trading, and swaps. Of course,
derivative trading has contributed partially to the current financial troubles we
face today. So it would seem to be a good idea to understand the basic tools
for financial calculating more clearly, so that they can be applied
efficiently.</span></p>
<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"BG\">&nbsp;Personal Cash
Value</span></p>
<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"BG\">&nbsp;The most basic
indicator of personal worth is how much a person earns. Although this is how
most people establish their asset value, it equates to nothing more than
selling yourself. It gains cash through income, but does not create any other
profit such as dividends or interest. It only creates a cash flow to cover
basic living expenses and some extras.</span></p>]]></description>

is what you have in savings, your checking account, any income you receive from
working and what you have to put into investments. Increasing your personal
finances seems to be one of the hardest things to do in today&rsquo;s economy. With a
little bit of help from your family and a little bit of sacrificing on behalf
of the entire family, you can increase your personal finances and breeze
through this economic down turn.</span></p>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ <p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal; text-align: justify;\"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables /> <w:SnapToGridInCell /> <w:ApplyBreakingRules /> <w:WrapTextWithPunct /> <w:UseAsianBreakRules /> <w:UseFELayout /> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--> <span lang=\"EN-US\">Many investors
are finding that investing in real estate is a great way to supplement their
current income and help others at the same time. This is in part due to the
economic status of the country and the foreclosure status of many homes. Before
investing into any investment property you should consider a few things such as
the market, your initial investment cost, management costs and resale
possibilities.</span></p>
<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal; text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">When considering
investment property, it is vital that you consider all of these things and
ensure yourself that you are making the right purchase. For instance you must
consider where the demand is the greatest. You may want to purchase a home in a
prestigious area of the city but there is no demand for rental property there so
your investment is not a good one if the home sits empty for long periods of
time. Next consider what type of property you will purchase. Sometimes
purchasing multi-unit homes can be more work to maintain but bring in the
greatest return for your money. </span></p>
<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal; text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Purchasing real
estate that is substandard can cost you a great deal of money before ever
getting a penny on your return. There are thousands of homes that can be
purchased at a discount due to being in foreclosure. This enables investors to
purchase a property low and after only a few years of ownership, sell high once
the market begins to recover. Many of these homes have been well taken care of
and need little to no repairs before being able to rent them out.</span></p>

		<description><![CDATA[ <p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal; text-align: justify;\"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables /> <w:SnapToGridInCell /> <w:ApplyBreakingRules /> <w:WrapTextWithPunct /> <w:UseAsianBreakRules /> <w:UseFELayout /> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--> <span lang=\"EN-US\">Mutual funds are
a collection of stocks and/or bonds. Your employer may offer you the
opportunity to invest into mutual funds. They then take all of their employee&rsquo;s
investment money and purchase stocks and/or bonds with the money. Each employee
owns a portion of the company&rsquo;s mutual fund therefore owns shares which
represents a portion of the holdings. They can earn you money in three ways:</span></p>
<p class=\"ListParagraphCxSpFirst\" style=\"text-indent: 0; line-height: normal;\"><span dir=\"ltr\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">- By earning
dividends and interest on stocks and bonds</span></span></p>
<p class=\"ListParagraphCxSpMiddle\" style=\"text-indent: 0; line-height: normal;\"><span dir=\"ltr\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">- By capital gain
where the fund sells securities that have increased in value</span></span></p>
<p class=\"ListParagraphCxSpLast\" style=\"text-indent: 0; line-height: normal;\"><span dir=\"ltr\"><span class=\"tutorialsmainbody\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">- By fund holdings increasing in price
and held by the fund manager. You can then sell your mutual fund shares for a
profit.</span></span></span></p>
<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal; text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">If you are
thinking about investing in mutual funds, there are a few things to consider before
jumping right in and throwing your money at the fund manager. For instance each
fund has a specific investing strategy, style or purpose. Some invest only in
specific companies while others invest in business start-up. It is imperative
that you know what you are investing in and understand that type of investment
before handing over your money.<span>&nbsp; </span></span></p>
<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal; text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">If you know
nothing about Aerospace Dynamics, then you should probably choose a different
mutual fund to invest in. Knowing something about the fund you invest in is
vital to your investment success. You may choose to research a specific fund on
your own before investing. This could save you time and money in the long-run
and considering you are investing your hard earned money into someone else, it
is advisable to know everything you can about them.</span></p>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ <p class=\"MsoNormal\"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables /> <w:SnapToGridInCell /> <w:ApplyBreakingRules /> <w:WrapTextWithPunct /> <w:UseAsianBreakRules /> <w:UseFELayout /> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--> <span lang=\"EN-US\">So, what is
it Aimiya Financial Goal and what is the main differences between it and any
other Personal Finance product. </span></p>
<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">One of the
creative minds behind Aimiya was a financial manager and had over 10 years of
experience. Needing a product to coordinate his own personal finances, lead to
the creation of Aimiya Financial Goal. </span></p>
<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Aimiya was
created to be a really useful tool for personal finance management. It was
meant to be a better way to track and manage finances then the traditional
budget style of watching transactions.<span>&nbsp; </span>Many of you how boring it is to account every time the same transactions
appear from your credit card and bank report. If you don not maintain it on a
regular basis you will forget many transactions and lose the accounting way of
doing things. </span></p>
<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Aimiya is
oriented toward setting goals. While you can use other tools to budget and
track tiny
details, Aimiya gives you the way to set and obtain your goals. It allows you
to decide how to increase your personal assets and then record how things go
according to your plan. </span></p>
<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Yes, it&rsquo;s
all a matter of inflow and outflow. Money in and money out and how that money
affects your final results.</span></p>]]></description>

.NET were developed a few years ago at the same time. Despite the fact, that
they were developed by two different companies, Sun and Microsoft, both
technologies have similar features and represent the same concept. Both have
been successful and these technologies are implemented on mobile devices, such
us cell phones and smart phones.</span></p>
<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Java and
.NET were based on the definition of <strong>managed
applications</strong>. Every application running on mobile device, for example a
notebook or calculator, is executed in a special environment, called a <strong>sandbox</strong>. This environment separately
manages that running application and can not reach information on a mobile
phone, which is not available for this application. In addition, a sandbox
guarantees more stable operation of applications and prohibits them to run
unauthorized code or even break the operating system.</span></p>
<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">An
additional advantage of sandbox, is that fact that it can be easily adapted to
different hardware-platforms, which is especially valuable for mobile devices.
Around the World, we have a numerous number of cell phone producers, and every
producer makes a number of models and types, so the variety is enormous. </span></p>]]></description>

<![endif]--><span lang=\"EN-US\">Applications
for mobile devices have some differences compared to applications for PC.<span>&nbsp; </span>One fundamental difference &ndash; is the user
interface. Usually, mobile devices have small display, there is no mouse or
pointer device and their resources (memory, processor) are very limited. If the
device has a touch screen, you need to consider the following factors, size of
the finger or pointer, which can hide the biggest part of the screen while
pressing items on the screen. You need to remember as well, that majority of
people would like to use only one hand in order to manage the device, keeping
the device and the management of the application in the fingers of the same
hand.</span></p>
<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-indent: 27pt;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Usually,
working with a mobile application represents movements between screens, while
working with desktop or laptop PC the user is allowed to operate with number of
screens. If the mobile application has a deep internal structure and logic, the
number of screens could be 20 or even more. Cell phones are not very suited for
navigation using menus: they have small buttons with tight press, small screens
with small type and usage while you are walking or traveling is never
convenient and can be dangerous.</span></p>
<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-indent: 27pt;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">During
development of the Aimiya Financial Goal application, we used special utilities
in order to make navigation very convenient and comfortable for end users.
First of all we use hardware buttons of the cell phone. We utilize all four
main buttons UP, DOWN, LEFT and RIGHT. Buttons LEFT and RIGHT usually correspondent
with the BACK and SELECT (FIRE) actions. From any menu screen you can reach
help menu by pressing the 0 button.</span></p>

<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Amerco
International Limited and the Aimiya Software brand began as a project designed
by two friends who spent many years working for a large company dealing with
the implementation of accounting and management systems. </span></p>
<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">One of
those two people was a specialist in finance and the other was a lead
programmer. The work was tedious and routine and they spent many hours training
people and maintaining the already designed systems. Corporate finance being
what it was, there was not much room for advancement and no room for
creativity. There had to be a better way to make a living and the time had come
to make a move.</span></p>
<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Personal
Finance was a new venture for both people. The core concept behind the Aimiya
Software was developed using a spreadsheet on Microsoft Excel. Several years of
trial and error lead to a data model that left only the most valuable
instruments which immediately showed performance and position.</span></p>
<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">The model
was initially based on an individual achieving financial independence by the
age of 40 and to design all the aspects and conditions of the finances around
achieving this goal.</span></p>
<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">One of
these portfolio decisions was the creation of a personal business.</span></p>]]></description>

problem in our fast paced world today. You purchase an item and pay for it
later, spend without any consideration to how much you are spending, open
credit accounts with the intention of building credit and keep our economic
world turning, right? Wrong! Going into debt costs everyone in the long run.
Consider this; your neighbor borrows $22,000 to purchase a new car. Their
payments are more than they can afford and they end up defaulting on the loan.
The loan company therefore must raise their interest rates in order to recover
from hundreds of customers defaulting which in turn costs every new customer
they deal with.</span></p>
<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal; text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Let us examine
some of the pros and cons of going into debt. On the pro side we have the fact
that you can get something you really wanted quickly and pay for it later,
build your credit score for future large purchases, maintain a certain
lifestyle and join the ranks of the plastic world. The cons tell us that
sometimes our spending habits get us into trouble and we find it hard to get
out of debt, the interest rates we pay on credit purchases ends up costing us
more than double for one item, we can maintain our lifestyle by saving for
purchases and more people end up filing bankruptcy than paying their debts off.</span></p>

that you invest in are an important part of many people&rsquo;s personal finances and
include both 401K and IRA&rsquo;s. A 401K is a tax-deferred retirement savings plan
that employers offer their employees. This type of retirement plan is a mutual
agreement between employer and employee. Whatever contribution the employee
makes, the employer matches that contribution up to a certain amount. This
money is then invested according to the employee&rsquo;s choice from stocks that the company
has chosen to invest in. An IRA is an Independent Retirement Account that
allows you to save money for retirement without being taxed on the money until
you begin withdrawing from the account. </span></p>
<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal; text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Investing in
either of these two retirement plans requires careful consideration and
knowledge of how each plan works. For instance a 401K allows you to invest up
to 20\% of your pay each pay period. Then you must consider what stocks or
securities you want your portion of that investment to be placed in. An IRA has
two different ways of saving your money; tax deferred or tax-free. Tax deferred
means you do not pay taxes on the money until it is withdrawn and tax-free
means you never pay taxes on the money. Both of these retirement plans have
government regulated limits to them and should be carefully examined before
choosing the plan.</span></p>
