How to Tell Your Boss You Want a Leadership Role - The Muse

How to Tell Your Boss You Want a Leadership Role - The MuseHow to Tell Your Boss You Want a Leadership Role Dear Candid Boss,How can I approach my current leader to see if I would be considered for a formal leadership role in the future? How do I start that conversation in a way that makes me seem qualified- and not just pushy or impatient?Signed,Eager to GrowDear Eager to Grow,I know that this conversation can seem nerve-wracking, but remember that its also exciting Youre thinking about taking the next step in your career and a good manager will be equally enthusiastic about your hunger for growth. When starting this conversation, the key thing is to not only explain the fact that youre interested in management, but also why youre interested. If you can prove that you understand what the job is, why you would enjoy it, provide evidence that you would be good at it, and explain you can have more impact for the gruppe as a manager than you do in your current role, your promotion to le adership will actually solve problems for your boss- not create them (that is, assuming theres a role available to promote you to). But before you get into that, you need to ask yourself Do you want to be a manager for the sake of a more prestigious title, or do you really want to do the things that managers do? Youll be persuasive if you can show that you understand what managers are actually responsible for, and that you are eager to do those things yourself. But if all you really want is more control, more money, or just the bragging rights, your boss will quickly pick up on your intentions and youll risk undermining your credibility. Remember, managers have a lot on their plate- and those duties arent always fun. As a leader, youll actively solicit criticism from your team members. Youll give formal performance reviews. Youll be held accountable for other peoples results- which means youll often have accountability without control. For some people, all of that sounds exciting an d meaningful. For others, that sounds like a living hell. Management is important, but its certainly not the only path to major impact. Its a rewarding route, but its also a hard one- so make sure the day-to-day of the job sounds appealing to you before approaching your boss to discuss moving up in the ranks. Do that, and youre far more likely to have a great conversation.Good luck to youThis article is part of our monthly Ask an Expert series- a column dedicated to helping you tackle your biggest career concerns. ur coaches are excited to answer all of your burning questions, and you can submit one by emailing us at editor(at)themuse(dot)com and using Ask a Candid Boss in the subject line.Your letter may be published in an article on The Muse.

This is the personality type most annoyed by grammar mistakes

This is the partality type fruchtwein annoyed by grammar mistakesThis is the personality type most annoyed by grammar mistakesIm a cognitive psychologist who studies language comprehension. If I see an ad for a vacation rental that says Yur going to Hollywood it really bugs me. But my collaborator, Robin Queen, a sociolinguist, who studies how language use varies across social groups, is not annoyed by those errors at all.We were curious what makes our reactions so different?We didnt think the difference welches due to our professional specialties. So we did some research to find out what makes some people more sensitive to writing mistakes than others.What prior research tells usWriting errors often appear in text homilies, emails, web posts and other types of informal electronic communication. In fact, these errors have interested other scholars as well.Several years before our study, Jane Vignovic and Lori Foster Thompson, who are psychologists at North Carolina State University, conducted an experiment about vetting a potential new colleague, based only on an email message.College students who read the email messages perceived the writer to be less conscientious, intelligent and trustworthy when the message contained many grammatical errors, compared to the same message without any errors.And at our own University of Michigan, Randall J. Hucks, a doctoral student in business administration, welches studying how spelling errors in online peer-to-peer loan requests at LendingTree.com affected the likelihood of funding. He found that spelling errors led to worse outcomes on multiple dimensions.In both of these studies, readers judged strangers harshly simply because of writing errors.Typos vs. grammosOver the last several years, we conducted a series of experiments to investigate how written errors change a readers interpretation of the message, including the inferences that the reader makes about the writer.For ouroriginal experiments, we recruited college st udents to be our readers, and for our mostrecent experiment, we recruited people from across the country who differed widely in terms of age and level of education.In all of our experiments, we asked our participants for information about themselves (e.g., age, gender), literacy behaviors (e.g., time spent pleasure reading, texts per day), and attitudes (e.g., How important is good grammar?). In the most recent experiment, we also gave participants a personality test.In each experiment, we told our participants to pretend that they had posted an ad for a housemate and gotten 12 email responses. After reading each email, the participants rated the writer as a potential housemate, and on other factors like intelligence, friendliness, laziness, etc.In fact, we had created three versions of each email. One version had no mistakes. One version included a few typos, e.g. abuot for about. Another version had errors involving words that people often mix up, such as there for their (we calle d these grammos).Everyone read four normal messages, four with typos, and four with grammos. Different people read the other versions of each message, so that we could separate responses to the errors from responses to the message content.Errors matter but to whom?In all of our experiments, readers rated the writers as less desirable if the emails included either typos or grammos. We expected this based on the earlier research, described above. In addition, people differed in their sensitivity to the two types of errors.For example, college students who reported higher use of electronic media were less sensitive to the errors, though time spent pleasure reading had no effect. Prior research on writing errors had not compared types of errors, nor collected information about the readers, in order to see which reader characteristics influenced interpretation.Both of these strategies for understanding how errors impact interpretation are unique to our research.Perhaps the most interest ing finding is from the experiment in which we gave participants the personality test. It measured the five traits considered to be important in personality research extraversion (i.e. how outgoing or social a person is), agreeableness, openness to experience, conscientiousness and neuroticism (prone to anxiety, fear, moodiness).This experiment involved adults who varied a lot in age and education, but those differences didnt affect their interpretation of the writing errors.Unlike the initial study with college students, use of electronic media had no effect. What mattered were the personality traits people responded to the writing errors based on their personality type.People who scored high in conscientiousness or low on the open-to-experience trait were more bothered by the typos. People who scored low on agreeability were more bothered by the grammos. And people who scored low on extraversion were more bothered by both types of errors. In contrast, how people scored on neurotic ism did not alter the impact of either type of error.Remember, by being bothered we mean that the reader gave lower ratings on the housemate questionnaire to writers who made that type of error.Why a short email could matterOur findings that our personality influences our interpretation of a message complement other research that has found that our personality influences what we say and how we say it.In 2015, Gregory Park and other researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Cambridge analyzed Facebook posts from more than 66,000 users who had also completed a personality test based on the same five personality traits that we measured in our study. They found the use of words like love, party and amazing are correlated with extraversion, while the words sick, hate and anymore are correlated with neuroticism.This research built upon earlier work by researchers Tal Yarkoni and James W. Pennebaker.While reading our research, two key points need to be kept in m ind. First, we think that errors influenced readers perception of the writer mainly because the writer was otherwise unknown the short email was the only basis for judgment. Second, we didnt ask the readers how likely they were to point out errors to the people who make them.So, it doesnt necessarily follow from our study that your friends will view you more negatively if you dont proofread your email messages, or that you can predict which people will call you on it based on their personality.But, you might want to keep these findings in mind when you write for an unknown audience or when you read something from someone you dont know.Julie Boland and Robin Queen are both professors at the University of Michigan.This article was originally published on TheConversation.com.

7 career tips for when you arent sure what position is for you

7 career tips for when you aren't sure what position is for you 7 career tips for when you aren't sure what position is for you Don’t have an accidental life or career. Often more planning goes into a summer vacation than a 40s of values include: Balance, Autonomy, Freedom. Creativity, Listening, Humor, Family etc.Recommit to your five core values  your principles or standards on what is so important such that living these values makes you more fulfilled than anything else. Be able to speak to how these align with the values of the prospective companies you are pursuing.  Know Your Transferable SkillsIf you want to change roles, especially to a different position or new industry, you need to prove that you have done comparable work on a scope, scale, budget, span of control, project management and complexity basis. You need to know your transferable skills.Transferable skills fall into the three categories.  1. CommunicationExamples include: speaking effectively, writing concisely, selling, building consensus, facilitating discussions, negotiating, perceiving nonverbal messages, reporting information. Inter viewing, editing, inspiring and motivating people to act, developing rapport, listening, training, conflict management, customer service.2. Organization of InformationExamples include: forecasting and predicting, creating strategy, identifying problems, creating vision, creating solutions, analyzing alternatives, identifying resources, creating and executing plans, defining and measuring process, goal setting, identifying root cause, decision making, budget management, manage change, crisis management.3. Operation of Systems and EquipmentExamples include: software selection and installation, engineer systems, coordinate equipment interfaces, manage a sound or lighting system, facilities operations, build things, interface technology, engineering, compare systems, commercial and residential real estate construction, repair equipment / machinery / appliances / technology.Match the prospective job description to these skills and highlight measurable key accomplishments from these skill areas in your cover letters and resumes. Tailor every resume, cover letter, meeting, and interview to the specific position you seek. No blind submissions.Define Your Signature StrengthsHiring managers want to know if you can do the job but also want to know if you fit into their culture. Take assessments to be able to speak to your strengths, emotional intelligence, character and personality traits. Show them how you have applied those strengths to accomplish great things.Knowing your signature strengths helps you to make informed career decisions â€" especially ones that involve changing industries or roles. When you understand yourself better you will be able to speak to your strengths on interviews and in informal meetings. This builds confidence and executive presence.If you tend toward being strategic and creative you won’t enjoy a more task specific role and vice versa. On a more finite level if you are more results and analytical you will want to build awareness of notici ng emotions in your colleagues thus increasing compassion. These tools help you build your self-awareness therefore elevating your emotional intelligence. There are many online free tools to help you with this. There is a link at the end of this article with more details on all the steps listed here.Know Your Future PullYour ‘Future Pull’ is not your next job but a career position that calls out to you. You feel compelled to do this work because it matters. The issues you address in this role need to be tackled by you and only you. Be able to speak to “Why you?” and “Why now?” What do you want to be known for at the end of your career? What will you want to be said about you at your retirement dinner by a colleague, a family member and a friend?Start a Company Watch ListBe purposeful in your search. Create a list of organizations that share your values  and where you can put your  strengths  to work. Matching your values and strengths with companies that share them will make a far better fit for your fulfillment than blindly seeking positions just to have a job.Research salary information and comments on companies made by their employees on Glassdoor. This site holds a wealth of information from people who have held positions you seek in the companies you are interested in.Google “hot jobs” or “job projections” and see what the latest projections are for the jobs market in the coming year. Take these with a grain of salt as they are often mere guesses. But you will see trends in your research.Search Google for lists of the largest employers in your city, as well as “best places to work” awards. Sometimes groups like Young Professionals or Chambers of Commerce give annual awards to companies that are choice employers in town.Don’t forget to include surrounding communities in your keyword search; there might be a great employer just one town over who doesn’t show up when you do your original search.Research Downtown Associations, Bett erment Organizations, local college alumni organizations and Meet-Up Groups especially if you are relocating. Note which organizations have lots of members.Start a Network ListLet your friends, family and even general acquaintances know about your search and the type of role(s) you are looking for. See if they “know anyone who knows anyone” who might be able to give you some leads on potential employment.Members of the groups you have researched tend to be community leaders and often have the inside scoop on who’s hiring, even if the posting isn’t public. By learning the names and associations of these individuals, you’ll have a better understanding of who you should get to know. Add these contacts to a “Network List” which will function much like your Watch List.Do a search on LinkedIn to see if any of your connections have relationships in the companies on your Watch List. Ask for a casual introduction. Don’t make it a sales pitch or pressure them for career leads; just let them know you’re researching new opportunities and want to meet new people during the transition. Don’t randomly ask people to connect. That will turn people away.Join industry groups on  LinkedIn  and post relevant contentEmployees of companies you are interested in will be far more likely to refer you to open positions if they recognize your name and notice your interest and persistence. However, don’t be too aggressive because you don’t want to be remembered for the wrong reasons.Try It OnTake your “Watch” and “Network” lists and create a “Top Five Companies List” of people and companies you know of that fit each Industry. Include social networks when doing this such as LinkedIn. Search company names and notice in your network who is already working in those companies who you know.Call or set up a meeting with people you know from these companies. Ask them if they can share insight into the culture there. Don’t ask them to recommend you. Allow them to suggest that to you based on your interest in THEM and THEIR COMPANY.Join a MeetUp group in the industry that interests youDevelop relationships. Ask if you can job shadow for a day. Get to know leaders. Volunteer there.Search opportunities on online jobs boards such as Indeed, ZipRecruiter and Idealist  or set up a ‘daily agent’ to notify you when a position comes available with your keywords.Volunteer for a non-profit organization in a line of work that interests youThey are always seeking volunteers. This is a great place to try out a new skill and build experience for your resume.Offer to freelance for a company you are interested in working for so that they may ‘try you on’ before they buy.

Jobs exist in a variety of fields and often offer salaries and benefits comparable or superior to private companies. Consider making Uncle Sam your new employer by understanding how to apply for and land federal government positions. Deciphering Government Job Ads Some people have the notion that government jobs secretly get filled by having an “in.” Not true! All federal agencies must list their openings publicly. Most post on the website, USAJobs. Along with listings, this site contains valuable information about the process, so bookmark it for reference during your job search.

3 resume format tips and tricks every job seeker should know

3 resume format tips and tricks every job seeker should know 3 resume format tips and tricks every job seeker should know The following post is by ESI from  ESI Money, a blog about achieving financial independence through earning, saving, and investing (ESI). It’s written by an early 50’s retiree who achieved financial independence, shares what’s worked for him, and details how others can implement those successes in their lives. He is also the author of a free ebook titled  Three Steps to Financial Independence  and spends a lot of his time  interviewing millionaires.Several months ago, a friend recommended I give reddit a try. He said there were lots going on at the site and I would enjoy it.“Enjoy” was not the first word I thought of when he mentioned it. I think I was more in the “fear” camp initially.Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!But I eventually overcame my concerns, joined reddit, and spent a couple of months trying to get into the flow of how things worked and finding s ubreddits I was interested in.Once I felt more settled, I wanted to give back to the community, so I started looking at places to contribute. Naturally, I gravitated toward the personal finance topics. After all, I have had a decent amount of  money success  myself (financially independent at 42,  retired at 52, and had written on the subject for 15+years.)But it didn’t take long to find out that everyone on reddit is a money management expert. (I hope you can hear the sarcasm in that.)Anyway, I had little interest in explaining money problems to a 32-year-old “expert” with almost no net worth to his name. I had seen others try and the pack descend on him, so no thank you.I kept searching and eventually, I found a subreddit where  people posted their resumes and asked for help reviewing them. As someone who had reviewed thousands of resumes during my working career, interviewed and hired hundreds of people, and managed my own career with success, I knew I could help.So I dived in…The average questionerAfter reading several posts, I could see a pattern - a very strong pattern.The posts were eerily similar to each o ther. I know that rarely happens but again and again, the same post popped up.Here’s a representative sample of what the vast majority were like:Hey, guys!I have been looking for a job for a year now and am having no luck at all.I have applied for about 900 positions and haven’t received one call back, so I’m sure the problem is with my resume.Can you look it over and offer suggestions on how I can improve it?The resume was attached for us all to comment on.Resume format messTo say the resumes were a mess is an understatement.I’m not sure where these people got their initial advice on how to create a resume outline, but I assume it was either a first-grade elementary class or a trained monkey.Anyway, it was apparent why the resume wasn’t getting any results.Even more, I saw a second pattern developing. Again and again, each poster had the same exact issues. They were making critical mistakes - ones that made their resumes almost worthless.I was seeing this so often that i t got to the point where I was making the same exact recommendations to poster after poster. Eventually, I made responding easier on myself by writing out a detailed response, saving it as a document on my computer, and literally copying and pasting it to one question after another. They all needed the same advice!So in the interest of saving future posters the trouble of asking for help, I thought I’d share the three common issues reddit posters faced and my recommendations on how to address them.I’ll list them as recommendations on what to do instead of what to avoid as I think it’s more positive.So with that said, here are my three tips for making your resume as strong as possible:1. Follow a standard format full of easy-to-read bullet points.Consider this finding  detailed on Time:According to a study released this week by TheLadders, an online job-matching service, recruiters spend an average of six seconds reviewing an individual resume. The standard thought was that rec ruiters spent at least several minutes on each CV. Nope. Six seconds! Yikes!The reality is that recruiters have a TON of resumes to sort through so they need to weed them out quickly. That’s why each one gets six seconds.This means that a resume writer needs to capture their attention and stand out (in a good way) in six seconds. If this happens, perhaps the review can be extended to 10 or 15 seconds, which allows the candidate enough time to tell his story a bit and hopefully make the “maybe” pile instead of being consigned to the trash bin.What exactly do I mean here? I suggest the following: Do not get creative.  You need to follow the standard format of 1) contact info at the top, 2) work experience in reverse chronological order next, and 3) education at the end. Recruiters are used to this format and using it ensures they spend their time looking at your background and not figuring out where the info is. If you get creative and develop a non-standard format resume, they spend their six seconds trying to figure out what the heck is going on and you lose your chance to impress them. Use bullet points to detail your experience.  As you discuss your work experience, highlight your accomplishments (more on this below) in bullet points. These are easy to read quickly and can convey a ton of information in a short period of time. In six seconds, several bullet points can easily communicate “this is someone I need to talk to.” Forget the list of skills at the top.  I don’t need you to tell me you’re “creative, determined, and results-oriented.” I’ll make that determination for myself. Tell me what you’ve done and from there I’ll form my own conclusions. There are exceptions to these of course. If you’re applying for a creative position, then throw out the rules and be creative with your resume (as long as you still communicate well, of course). If you have some skill that’s required for the job (or gives you a leg up), then you may want to include it at the top. But for 95%+ of the jobs out there, these tips hold true.The resumes I was seeing on reddit were all sorts of messy. People were detailing their job experience in paragraphs so difficult to read I’m sure no one plowed through them. They listed their experience at the end of the resume and in no particular order. They were spending the first half of the page telling us what they thought of themselves (and their abilities) versus getting to the meat of the presentation. These resumes were train wrecks and it was easy to see why they had not been effective.2. List quantifiable accomplishments beginning with action verbs.Consider two candidates. The first one lists the fol lowing in detailing his most recent job:I helped the sales team in their work.The second lists this:Supported nine-person team to deliver 10.4% sales growth over the previous year and earn company-wide recognition award for performance.Now, which of those two people would you want to interview? (By the way, the purpose of a resume is simply to get you an interview.)See how the second is so much better than the first? If you don’t let me name a few ways: The second seems like it’s written impartially (though it’s not, of course.) By not using “I” it makes the accomplishment less from you and more objective. There’s action in the second one. The candidate “supported” the team. What did the first person do? Probably whatever they told him. The second person took action (and appears to be more of a go-getter). By the way, “supported” isn’t the greatest action word in the world. I’d prefer “led” or “directed” but most entry-level people aren’t at the stage where they direct or lead much, so you have to use the best word you can. The second has QUANTIFIABLE results. They are not vague - you know he was part of a team that had a 10.4% sales increase. That’s both specific and impressive. The second sneaks in a second point detailing why he’s awesome. Not only did he work to deliver great sales, but an outside source (“the company”) recognized the efforts as outstanding. This guy is a winner!!! The sad thing is that these two different lines could actually be the same person! It’s just that if he has no clue how to write a resume it might be more like option 1 but if he had a bit of direction he’d write it as option 2.Questions I get about this tip often come down to “I don’t have any accomplishments” and “I’m not sure how to quantify what I’ve done.”If you literally have zero accomplishments, you need to try and make the bullets sound as impressive as you can. That said, if you have honestly contributed nothing meaningful to your current employer, why should a new one want to hire you?If you have accomplishments but aren’t sure they can be quantified, that’s better than nothing. But think hard and use numbers if at all possible as long as they are impressive (delivering a sales increase of 0.1% is not worth mentioning - unless of course the rest of the company was down 20% and then you’d want to list it as “Delivered 20% sales increase versus the rest of company.”)3. Focus on networking if you really want to find a job.Submitting a resume online makes the applicant feel like he’s doing something, but the chances of being hired this way are remote. In fact,  Forbes says, “This method works just 4% of the time, on average.”I have advertised jobs online several times and we’d always get a few hundred applicants for one position. I probably spent less than six seconds on each resume just to get it down to 10 or so I felt were qualified. I’m sure I missed many great candidates this way but the sheer numbers dictated my actions. Many companies face the same thing, that’s why the odds of being hired from an online source are not great.Instead, do a little networking. You know, actually talk to human beings - people you know, people friends and family know, people past co-workers know, people your college professors know, and on and on. Talk to people, tell them what you’re looking for, and ask if they can help or know anyone who can.By the way, you’re going to need to be a good networker to advance your career anyway (networking is one on my  seven steps to make millions more in your career), so you might as well get good at it now.Networking takes a lot more effort (which is why people probably avoid it) but is MUCH more successful. Forbes says this method “works 33% of the time.” The only thing that works better (at 47%) is “knocking on the door of any employer” which is simply a cold-call version of networking.If you’re looking for another source on the dynamics above, consider the  facts presented here: 80 percent of jobs are not posted online. Only about five applicants actually earn an interview from hundreds of applications. Referrals account for around a third of all external hires. Networking allows you to break out of the pack, find a personal connection, and get selected as one of the few who get an interview. Using it you have between a 33% and 47% chance of success - versus a 4% chance simply posting online. Is it any wonder these reddit posters were having issues?It’s not just reddit usersMy experience here was with reddit users, but it’s not unique to them.Almost everywhere I get asked about reviewing a resume (from a friend in person, someone emailing me one, online on other sites, etc.) I see the exact same missteps. These there are very common. And unfortunately, if you get them wrong, you are significantly hurting your chances for success.That said, now that you know how critical these are, implement them in your next resume. If you do, you’ll stand out from the pack and your odds of success will grow dramatically.This article originally appeared on Your Money Geek.  You might also enjoy… New neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happy Strangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds 10 lessons from Benjamin Franklin’s daily schedule that will double your productivity The worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs 10 habits of mentally strong people

The Benefits of Dog-Walking Jobs for Kids

The Benefits of Dog-Walking Jobs for Kids The Benefits of Dog-Walking Jobs for Kids Any child who loves pets and wants to make some pocket money might be excited to take on a dog-walking job, and its a great option to consider since children  under 14 have  limited  employment opportunities. That dog-walking youngster may one day become a veterinarian, open up a grooming business, run an animal shelter, or take on some other related business or career. But just as pet-sitting jobs  have their pros and cons, so  do dog-walking jobs. The Pros Dog walking often pays more money than pet sitting and can become a regular job  for your child if she bonds with the right four-legged client. Because dogs are very common household pets, your child may easily find families in need of a dog walker. Another advantage is that dog walking makes a great job both in the summer and as an  after-school job. Its a fun way for kids and dogs to stay fit, plus it wont  take up a large part of the day either, leaving time for kids  to do their schoolwork or extracurricular activities. Dog walking is also attractive because it doesnt require a lot of money to get started, though it would be wise to purchase a spare leash or harness, a good supply of plastic poop bags, and a water bottle and portable bowl to keep the pups hydrated.   Finally, dog walking is available to kids of various ages- and older kids can take on two different clients at once, doubling their income. In addition to these benefits, the job itself offers valuable lessons and helps develop skills such as reliability (by showing up every day), maintaining a schedule, organization (managing clients), responsibility, learning to negotiate pay rates with clients, budgeting, and buying supplies. The Cons Its not all fun and play, however, and there are some downsides- and even dangers- worth considering. Children should walk dogs in well-lit and well-populated areas that they know well, keeping an eye out for aggressive dogs, fast-moving bicycles, and cars. When your child lands a new client, check to see whether the dogs size works for your child. A strong or heavy dog that can pull harder than your child can handle might create a problem when a squirrel, scooter, or skateboarder whizzes by. A child who walks dogs daily cant just call in sick. Fido will still need to get his walk in. Make sure your child has a friend or sibling lined up for emergencies, or you might be stuck walking the dog. Youll also need to make sure your child knows that cleaning up after the dog is part of the job. Your  child should always carry plastic bags to pick up dog poop and walk routes where theres at least one trash can in which to deposit the waste. Children should also understand how to keep dogs cool to prevent overheating in hot weather, prevent dogs from running into the street, and give other dogs and their owners a wide berth until they know both dogs are friendly. Dogs may also need to be walked in when its cold, snowing, or raining. Its therefore a good idea for kids to know some basic first aid for dogs, such as how to treat a dog that gets a cut on its paw. Getting Paid You can help your child start researching by directing them to the website Care.com, which can give them the going rate for dog walkers by zip code. Theyll likely earn less than professional or certified dog walkers though, who charge anywhere from $15 or $30 an hour up to $50 an hour. Your child can also call around and get quotes from others who offer the service to determine the going rate in your area.

Finding financial freedom A bucket list for Millennials and Gen Z

Finding financial freedom A bucket list for Millennials and Gen Z Finding financial freedom A bucket list for Millennials and Gen Z You’ve heard the term “bucket list,” right? It’s a list of all the once-in-a-lifetime places you’d like to visit, sights you’d like to see, and experiences you’d like to have before you “kick the bucket.” A lot of people think of things like skydiving, swimming with dolphins, or visiting the Taj Mahal when compiling theirs. But did you ever consider that there might be another way to approach your bucket list? Even if they’re not of the thrill-seeking variety, there are many vital life experiences that can still help you round out your vision of the person you’d like to become. For example, everybody should know what it feels like to move to an unfamiliar area, start a new job, and control their own finances. The tips below can help you combine touchstone life experiences like these with a plan for moving yourself toward financial freedom (and achieving the more far-flung items on your list).Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard co vering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!Master the art of the budget Before anything else happens, it’ll be helpful to figure out how much you make, how much you have to pay each month, and how much you might be able to save. Once you know what kind of margin you have, you’ll know what else might be possible. Give a thought to these factors when figuring your budget: Knowing why you want to budget Calculating how much money you make (and bring home) every month Compiling a list and total amount of essential expenses you cover monthly and devising ways to minimize them Generating lists of all of your non-essential wants and ways to cut down on them Making a budget - and sticking to it - can be tough. Nearly everyone who does it, though, finds the sacrifice worth it. Knowing where your money comes from and where it goes is deeply satisfying, as is the security of building up a financial cushion for the future.To jumpstart your financial “bucket list,” adopt one or more of these cost-cutting moves at least once in your life: Live with roommates. When you’re young, living with roommates is a rite of passage and can give you lots of stories for later. It’s also a great way to save money so you can eventually get off the paying-rent hamster wheel. And if you find yourself single later in life, it’s worth considering again. Companionship and saving money are great benefits. Be an early bird. Eating on the cheap is an art form, and the “early bird special” is a great way to do it. Forget any hang-ups you might have about it and dine at 5:30! Stay at a youth hostel. You don’t have to backpack across Europe to stay in a hostel. If your adventures take you to New York, Key West, or other touristy cities, give it a shot. Go thrifting. Buy an entire outfit at a secondhand store or find some awesome kitschy decor. You’ll find crazy stuff - and see how poverty can ramp up your creativity. Give up meat for a while. Meat is easily the most expensive part of any grocery trip. Try going vegan or vegetarian for a while. It’s better for your health, you’ll save a lot of money, and you’ll be able to say you tried it. Try extreme couponing. It takes a lot of planning, and you might not want to do it every week, but try it at least once: Go to the grocery store and walk out with a bunch of bags, having paid nearly nothing. It’s a thrill! Create an emergency fund A major key to staying fiscally stable is understanding that you’ll likely experience at least one of these emergencies in your lifetime: A medical incident (or a veterinary one)   Family issues that require an influx of cash An unstable work environment or sudden firing A vehicle breakdown Home repairs that need to be addressed right away Check off some of these proven methods to build up your emergency fund: Save coins in a large container. It can be a massive water jug or maybe a ceramic piggy bank that you have fun smashing down the road. Everyone at some point should experience rolling a ton of coins and cashing them in. Sell something online. Whether you offer up your gently used clothes, old cell phones, unused gift cards, or hand-crafted jewelry you make yourself, this method can net you some serious cash and let you experience the online marketplace. Have extra money deducted from your paycheck. You can use an online tax calculator to figure out the amount you’ll need deducted every month to result in a bigger tax refund, then deposit the whole chunk into your emergency fund. Reduce your debtNow turn the other side of the coin: If you have debt that you’re struggling to pay off, then saving won’t do you much good (especially if your debts carry high-interest rates, which lessen your ability to pay down the principal amounts). Strive to pay off your debts as soon as possible so your savings can start to accumulate. These tips can help: Use any windfall, like a tax refund or unexpected bonus, to pay down a chunk of debt. Consider asking the advice of a credit consultant, who can help you look into consolidating your debts or renegotiating payment terms When paying bills (especially for credit cards), try to pay more than the minimum payment amounts. Also, consider other ways you might reduce the strain on your budget. If your living expenses are too high in your home city, then consider moving somewhere more affordable. Living in a less expensive city that still offers ample job opportunities could cut down drastically on your financial burden. For example, you can rent an apartment for $650 a month in Omaha, Nebraska, a growing hotbed for startup businesses. Try checking these debt-reducing strategies off your once-in-a-lifetime list: Keep a car long enough to pay it off. Keeping a car long enough to make that final payment is pretty uncommon these days, make it an achievement even more worthy of celebration. Renegotiate payment terms. It may sound scary, but many lenders will reduce your interest rate if you contact them to negotiate. And once you’ve pulled this off, it’s an incredible feeling to know you handle your finances like a boss. Go without for a few months. In this age of automatic payments, it’s easy to forget everything you pay for monthly. Take a look at what you pay for but don’t use - streaming services, subscription box deliveries, and similar luxuries come to mind - then cut out the non-essentials for several months. You’ll learn what it feels like to “tighten your belt” and come out with a chunk of cash at the end. Enhance your revenuesSometimes it takes some brainstorming or just greater effort to entice more money into your cash flow situation. Adding a revenue stream, bumping up your savings efforts, and investing your money to multiply its power can all help move your needle toward financial freedom. Consider these tactics: Finding local businesses who need help Putting savings into a retirement account Seeking out a new career field that pays more for your skills Finding a workable side gig to bring in extra cash While investments eventually can provide you with the cash flow you need, not everybody has the seed money to get started with a bang, so consider smaller investing options at first. Some strategies offer not only lucrative financial gains but also life experiences that are not to be missed: Change careers, especially if you’ve been in the same spot forever and have always wanted to know what else is out there. People are changing jobs more frequently in today’s fast-moving market; take advantage of the opportunities out there! Pick up a side hustle. You’ve got skills, so why not make money off them? If you have specialized expertise in areas like languages or math, you could offer online tutoring or lessons. Or hire yourself out as a house-sitter or dog-sitter. And there’s always the now-classic experience of delivering food or driving for Ãœber or Lyft! Start a business. Even if it’s just a hobby or a side hustle, an extra gig can offer a considerable income stream, especially if you attend trade shows to promote yourself. Plus, being the boss is an experience nobody should miss. Make a bigger play Many money advisors agree that financial limitations are often a product of limited thinking. People believe a lot of myths - which are patently untrue- about their own inability to earn, save, or manage money. Gaining some inspiration and seeking out a few working examples can help you stop limiting your thinking, financial and otherwise, and move on to bigger things.Thinking big is one of the best ways to achieve the things on your bucket list. Refuse to accept traditional limits for yourself and reach for higher goals with these tips in mind: Rent out your place. Even if you can’t afford to buy a rental property outright, you could always rent out your home through a vacation home rental site whenever you’re out of town to make some extra cash. Managing a property is the kind of responsibility everyone should experience at some point. Buy some stocks and watch what happens. It’s not just for old men with monocles anymore! With online brokerages, you can set up an account with as little as $100 and make trades for $5. “Playing the market” is a unique phenomenon, and watching values go up is a thrill. It’s a big world, and the possibilities are endless. Consider what you want from life, make a list and a budget, and start risking a little bit toward gaining the rewards that are out there. If your bucket list contains both thrilling adventures and smart life moves, there’s no reason you can’t achieve them all!You might also enjoy… New neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happy Strangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds 10 lessons from Benjamin Franklin’s daily schedule that will double your productivity The worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs 10 habits of mentally strong people
