Now, your one dollar is not similar ten or twenty years ago. You can spend twenty thousand to buy a house in L.A or other famous city in twenty years ago. But, now you cannot do it. Although, your salary is more than twenty years ago, but your salary is still cannot following the prices during now. So, we have to do thing can pump up to our income. Some people think about the interest of bank is a safety way to pump up income. But the bank is already not a safety way to pump up our income because a lot of banks are bankruptcy in the last few years. In my opinion, you can choose some low risk’s fund to invest, if you are a fearing person of risk. For example, debenture or global fund, these two are very low risk. But, the reward still more than your bank’s interest. If you accept high risk, you can choose funds of high risk or stocks. These can let you get a lot of reward in short time. I also like this two because l do not like the reward very slow. Although, I used to lose a lot of money in short time. But, I still like these types to pump up my income. In the high prices era, you have to think that how can I pump up your income. Do not just save your money in your bank. You can choose other way to pump to your money. I think that a lot of banks have this services that you can consult some adviser from your bank that which way is suiting you investing. And then can pump up your income.

In the in time of unemployment rate, if you do not want to lose your job, you need to show your extra abilities and commit in your company keeping your position and salary. Otherwise, many people are waiting your position when you are fired out. In ten years ago in Taiwan, nobody can replace in your job, if you get a degree from the U.S. But, this situation is impossible happening in any enterprises now because a lot of people also get degree from the U. S. therefore you have to show your extra abilities and commit to your interviewer when you go to interview. You can use this method to raise your recruit’s rate and chance of employment.
