Private economy and saving tips

We are pleased to welcome Kyrre Martinius Knudsen, Chief Economist at SpareBank 1 Sør-Norge, for an insightful evening where he will discuss business cycles and trends that impact both the national and international economy—and how they may influence your personal finances.

Topics for this evening: 

• Business cycles and trends that affect nationally and internationally
• Currency risk
• Personal savings plan: the short and long picture
• Housing: Own or rent? Factors you should consider before investing
• Which web pages and useful links should I follow for the best updates
• Create a budget adapted to your own needs.

The largest expenses in people's finances are housing, transport and daily goods. Every day you are faced with choices that can have major consequences.

So, how do we know what the right discision is between owning or renting? Short or long contracts? Energy consumption? How to build up a financial goal setting and adapt habits to the desired savings plan based on Norwegian culture? In many countries it is cheap to buy services, while in Norway there is a regulated working life where everyone must have a decent salary. Therefore, services cost more. As an example:it is in the culture that you put in a greater amount of your own effort to run your home.

For inspiration and as a basis for discussing personal finances, feel free to look into useful links: Finans Norge (English text), Your economy - Smart money (Calculator), magazines and newspapers with a particular focus on finance: Finansavisen, Dagens Næringsliv and Kapital.
