Make sure your investments have a positive effect on your cash flow. | know a lot of people who make a lot of money but are cash-poor. To improve your net worth, you should become a cash hawk. You should try to get as much cash as possible as quickly as possible. Cutting your expenses should help greatly.

Recently interest rates have dropped in hopes of rebounding the economy. Thus, an opportunity exists for young people to buy homes at extremely low interest rates. Right now an interest rate of 6% is easily obtainable with a good credit rating. If you were paying 9% before, you could get 6% now. If you bought a home costing $75,000 over 30 years at 9% it would cost you $1,104,793.21. If you re-financed at 6% that same house would cost you $451,693.14. Re-financing your home could really wipe out your debt.
