3 reasons you make a lot but don’t bring home much

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J

The fact is, when we make more money, whether it’s a one-time bonus or an increase in salary, we spend more. Many of us think making more gives us the freedom to be less careful in our financial decision-making. This is a huge mistake. Consider the following three reasons why although you think you’ll be bringing more home, your habits are keeping you from seeing an increase in income.

You’re living a luxurious lifestyle

You’ve gotten a pay raise. Time to travel, right? Wrong! Don’t immediately book your ticket to Tahiti. Get your bearings first and figure out how you can best use your additional income. Instead of rushing out to buy a new car, consider more responsible ways to put your money to good use. The more thoughtful you are about your spending, the more you’ll appreciate having extra in the end.

You’re overly generous

You’ve gotten a big bonus… so, drinks for everyone! Hold tight on forking out gifts and cash to others. Your heart is in the right place, but focus first on taking care of yourself and your loved ones. Be sure you’ve considered your child’s college savings or necessities you’ve needed but haven’t had the funds for. Being generous with others, whether it’s treating a parent or giving to a charitable cause, is a wonderful thing. Just make sure before you give, you plan accordingly for how it will affect your money moving forward.

You’ve become careless

Just because you are making more money, doesn’t mean budgeting and saving should go out the window. There’s a reason why the wealthiest people in the world have advisors who help with their financial decision-making. When you get a bump in pay and have money on the mind it can be difficult to see past the dollar signs. Don’t get distracted by the extra zeros. Be smart and not rash when it comes to even the smallest purchases. Life is expensive and even extremely successful people can easily blow their money if they’re not careful.

Rising U.S. Oil Exports Reshaping Global Markets—Energy Journal

U.S. OIL EXPORTS DOUBLE RESHAPING VAST GLOBAL MARKETS

Rising American oil exports are a disruptive new force in the global markets, reports Lynn Cook.

Since Congress lifted a ban on oil exports at the end of 2015, shipments out of Texas and Louisiana have skyrocketed, taking the fruits of the U.S. fracking revolution to new markets.

For the past few years American oil has flowed to more than 30 countries, with China, Colombia and the U.K. emerging as big buyers.

“The U.S. exported 1 million barrels of oil a day during some months so far this year—double the pace of 2016—and is on track to average that amount for all of 2017,” the Journal reports.

U.S. drillers are expected to ramp up production at a pace to surpass 10 million barrels a day, a new record, by 2018.

The U.S. exports are also benefiting in part from a decision by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to temporarily reduce output with the aim of rebalancing the oil market.

While U.S. oil flows make up just 1% of global oil volumes, the addition of American oil is complicating OPEC’s efforts and is helping to tamp down global oil prices.

“China, the world’s largest oil importer, traditionally gets more than half of its crude from OPEC members like Saudi Arabia, Angola and Iran. But China, which imported a record 8.6 million barrels a day in December 2016, is stepping up imports of U.S. oil, as well as crude from Brazil, after its own production dropped significantly,” the Journal reports.

RUSSIA COULD BUY BACK STAKE IT SOLD IN ROSNEFT

Russia included a buy-back option into its deal to sell a portion of state oil firm PAO Rosneft to Qatar and Glencore last year, write Sarah McFarlane and Summer Said.

“Russian President Vladimir Putin hailed the €10.2 billion ($11.5 billion) sale of one-fifth of the Rosneft stake in December as a sign of investor confidence in his country. “But the people with knowledge of the deal say it functioned as an emergency loan to help Moscow through a budget squeeze,” the Journal reports.

The arrangement contained a provision that Moscow would buy back a portion of the stake from Qatar in the next 10 years.

“Rosneft, the world’s largest listed oil producer, is traded publicly in Moscow, but it isn’t easy to buy and sell large pieces of the company because it remains majority-owned by the Russian state and is an instrument of economic power for Mr. Putin,” the Journal reports.

The deal happened because of the downturn in oil which hurt Russia’s economy and forced Mr. Putin to raise cash in 2016 to plug a widening budget deficit. Russia’s federal budget relies on the oil-and-gas industry for about a third of its revenue.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said he didn’t agree with the characterization of the deal as an emergency loan. He didn’t respond to further questions.

Glencore and the Qatar Investment Authority said the deal’s contract contained no right for Russia to buy back Rosneft shares from the consortium they created.

OIL IS UP AHEAD OF U.K. ELECTIONS

Global oil prices recovered slightly on Thursday, after posting their sharpest fall since early March overnight on an unexpected build in U.S. crude inventories last week.

Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, rose 1% to $48.53 a barrel on London’s ICE Futures exchange. On the New York Mercantile Exchange, West Texas Intermediate futures were trading up 0.9% at $46.14 a barrel.

Investors are also watching for several major developments on Thursday including a European Central Bank meeting, the testimony in the U.S. by former FBI Director James Comey and a general election in the U.K.

The outcome of the election will likely determine the country’s strategy for exiting the European Union, after a campaign colored by three terrorist attacks in as many months. The result could also affect the U.K.’s relations with its closest allies including the U.S.
