Aware

Of what you are giving up before you sign on the dotted line.

Crossing a High-Speed Intersection

Imagine you are standing at the corner of a high-speed, two-way intersection. Would you check traffic in only one direction before deciding to walk across? Of course not.

But financially speaking, that's how millions of people approach their financial decisions every day. How so? Because they focus on what they will get with their purchases without considering what they might be giving up.

Sure, you might get lucky the first few times you "cross the street," but eventually you're going to get blind-sided by the negative financial consequences you failed to see coming.

What Am I Giving Up?

If you are considering a purchase that is large enough to require taking out a loan, please consider the following "hidden" costs of going ahead with the purchase.

  • How many hours will I need to allocate to work to pay off this purchase?
  • How much passive investment income could I earn if I invest the money instead of using it to make this purchase?
  • Can I afford to set aside the funds needed to license, maintain, repair, fuel, insure, store, and replace this purchase so I won't get blindsided by these costs in the future?

Life is a lot more predictable than we care to admit. If you fail to accurately answer the above questions before going ahead with the purchase, you will likely be creating "unexpected" financial emergencies for yourself in the future.

Adjust Calculator Width:

Move the slider to left and right to adjust the calculator width. Note that the Help and Tools panel will be hidden when the calculator is too wide to fit both on the screen. Moving the slider to the left will bring the instructions and tools panel back into view.

Also note that some calculators will reformat to accommodate the screen size as you make the calculator wider or narrower. If the calculator is narrow, columns of entry rows will be converted to a vertical entry form, whereas a wider calculator will display columns of entry rows, and the entry fields will be smaller in size ... since they will not need to be "thumb friendly".

Show/Hide Popup Keypads:

Select Show or Hide to show or hide the popup keypad icons located next to numeric entry fields. These are generally only needed for mobile devices that don't have decimal points in their numeric keypads. So if you are on a desktop, you may find the calculator to be more user-friendly and less cluttered without them.

Stick/Unstick Tools:

Select Stick or Unstick to stick or unstick the help and tools panel. Selecting "Stick" will keep the panel in view while scrolling the calculator vertically. If you find that annoying, select "Unstick" to keep the panel in a stationary position.

If the tools panel becomes "Unstuck" on its own, try clicking "Unstick" and then "Stick" to re-stick the panel.
