Money Tips: How to Increase Your Net Worth This Year

Getting that financial reflection over the end of the year and hoping for that increase in your net worth? What are the steps for that additional money on your net value? Yahoo Finance details three ways on how you could make this goal possible this year.  

1. Get A Raise

If you're a professional working an 8-5 job, one way to increase your net worth is to ask for a raise. Difficult? Asking for a raise is not a simple request but there are qualifications but if you think you're serving well your company and worked so hard in your current position, why hinder?

According to the outlet, "If you've been at a company for some time and feel like you have done good work, there is no harm in asking for a reasonable increase in pay. You can raise the possibility before your annual review, and come armed with evidence of your value to the organization. There's not much downside to asking for more money as long as the request is reasonable and made professionally."

2. Find New Sources of Income

Create different income streams and do not only dwell on your regular job's hefty pay. Try ventures that you can manage even if you have a regular job like a second part-time job at the end of the week or do freelance works from your field of expertise. This may only cash in a few bucks but this will definitely help you increase your savings.

3. Spend Less

This tip is very practical and will really help you on the long run if you want to increase your net worth. Spending less on your usual expenses. This will help you be a wise spender on your everyday purchases. The money you can save in your usual spending can help your net worth potentially grow.
