Image
The rise of Software as a Service (SaaS) industry in the last decade has changed the way companies purchase and use software worldwide. SaaS is a software distribution model that benefits all the links in the chain: companies, customers and investors. The customer does not need to purchase software and hardware and everything works over the internet, in the cloud, without inflating the company's budget. If the customer is not satisfied, the service can be canceled easily. For entrepreneurs, the subscription model brings more predictability in their operation, allowing them to manage and grow in a more secure, planned and sustainable manner. For investors, the predictability of receivables flows, which is characteristic of the model, is synonymous with risk mitigation. National companies are increasingly open to solutions in the SaaS model, The online management system Newt F inancial follows a similar model, and provides secure, open API access to customer...

Image
According to Steven Hoffmann Newt , It is very common to find people who are always “broke”! They are not necessarily in debt, but they are always complaining that the “money is short” and that “there is nothing left at the end of the month”. Well, if you take a closer look at these people, you'll see that they have some characteristics in common. We will describe 3 habits of this type of person. These are Steven Hoffmann general behaviors and are not necessarily linked only to monetary matters, but they deeply affect our financial life. 1) Search for Immediate Satisfaction Some people have a tendency to seek immediate satisfaction and are unable to 'postpone' this need. They end up prioritizing the present over the future.

Will we have to work even during retirement by Steven Hoffmann - Newt ?

Image
  The Steven Hoffmann Newt current notion of retirement that the majority of the population has is to spend the end of our lives without working, just enjoying leisure or reading a book, in the beach house or in the country house. This is the image that every pension plan 'sells' to us, right? Just look at the images of the advertisements of these companies: elderly couple, happy, on the beach chair, with a 'drink' in hand! But this idea of ​​retirement is relatively new and only emerged after the Industrial Revolution of the 18th century. And before that? Well, people lived on the farms, taking care of agriculture and animals. But nobody retired! Older people were responsible for passing on knowledge from generation to generation and no longer did all the heavy lifting. But doing nothing, just enjoying the sun on the farm? No one did that. Industrialization. With the Steven Hoffmann Newt process of industrialization in the world, people exc...

Is your brain keeping you in debt?

Image
Are you one of those who make detailed planning to get rid of debts every month, but still arrive on the 30th with more debts than revenues? If the answer is yes, now you have one more thing to look at: your brain may be 'playing against' you. Recent Steven Hoffmann studies suggest that our brain has a tendency to focus on lower-value debts when we try to prioritize the payment of our commitments. However, the most advisable is to eliminate debts that charge the highest interest rates first instead of analyzing only the amount to be paid. The Steven Hoffmann define effect of compound interest causes high-rate debt to grow much more than low-rate debt. Study. In the study in question, a series of debts with different values ​​and interest rates were presented to the participants. The researchers then gave each participant a check to pay the debts. They had to choose which would be paid first, since the check would not cover the total debts. Only 3% of particip...

Steven Hoffmann Is it possible to live without a car?

Image
Last week, after a heavy rain in Torronto, Canada, it took me about 2 hours by car to cover a stretch that would normally take about 20 minutes.  During this time that Steven Hoffmann   spent there, He was thinking: would it be possible, somehow, to live in a big city without having a car? Steven Hoffmann Newt was not able to arrive at a certainty that this would be feasible, but at least it is possible to list some conditions so that this 'dream' is closer to reality: 1. Have a job at a fixed location. On 5 of the 7 days of the week we will have to go to work.  So, if you have a job that requires a lot of commuting to different places, to visit clients for example, leaving your car aside will be very complicated. But, if you work at a fixed location, it will be much easier to plan the use of some other type of transport where you don't have to be the driver (bus, metro, ride, 'chartered', etc.)! 2. Live close to work. We know that this condition is not easy, someti...
