People often think that they’re entitled to a lot more than they actually are. It’s a common issue that the wider public seems to have, and it’s an issue that doesn’t seem to be dying out. However, for all of the things that we’re really not entitled to in this world, there are some that we just might be. We’re talking about money here, and there are plenty of opportunities that you might be missing out on, just because you don’t think you’re eligible. Now, when money is such a rare thing to have it would seem, you’re obviously going to want to know all of the things that you might actually be entitled to. So, we’ve cut out a bit of the hard work for you, and we’ve picked out some ways that some of you are going to be entitled to getting a bit of extra money, without you necessarily having to do much about it!
Management Rights
If you haven’t explored the revenue that management rights could give you, then we really think you should start looking into them now. They’re the perfect way for you to make more money, without having to go far, or even do too much work. If you haven’t heard of it before, it’s where you buy the rights to the management and maintenance of a building, usually a block of apartments or a business offices. You then have the right to maintain the building, and make a profit from it. Whether it’s you that’s maintaining the building or not, you’re still going to be making a profit from it, think of it as a mini business investment. There are plenty of buildings dotted around, some are probably in your local area. But they will all differ in the revenue that it’ll allow you to make, so make sure that you’re picking the one that’s best going to suit you. Management rights for sale isn’t a common venture to most of you, so you know you won’t have competition. It’s not like a business, where you do have to compete to get your revenue, it’s just your own little way of making money, but you do obviously have to put a lot of time and attention into maintaining the building. All complaints would come to you as well, so it’s wise that you develop some of your customer service skills, as well as your knowledge as to what goes into maintaining a business.
Salary Increases
If you don’t ask, you don’t get. That’s one of the main mottos you should live by in life. With work, some places of work are going to support you, increase pay, increase opportunities etc. Some places of work are going to be the exact opposite. It’s very much a world of favouritism, business, so you need to learn to ask for what you want in some circumstances. If you know that someone who is doing the same role as you, and has worked there for a similar amount of time, is getting paid more than you, it’s likely that you’re due a pay rise! However, you need to make sure you’re being smart about this. If you go to your manager and say that you know how much someone else is on, you could get the both of you in trouble for speaking about your wages. It should tell you in your contract whether this is forbidden or not. Rather than walking up to them and saying you know how much this person is on, tell them that you feel you deserve a pay rise due to your hard work, and your commitment to the company. You also might be due a salary increase if your contract says that you’re allowed an increase every so often. It’s often overlooked, because we’re sure that there aren’t many of you that have actually read the fine print of their contract. But if you look, a lot of them will say that you’re entitled to yearly increases, or even just a bonus. It might be something that’s worth checking out, if you still have a contract.
Money Back
Think about the purchases that you’ve made over the years. We’re not just talking about the ones that you’ve made during your weekly shop, we’re talking about the big spenders, such as your bills. Each time you take out a contract with a new bill, you’ll be given a quote for the amount of money that you’ll need to pay each month. If this is fixed, there could be a chance that you’re actually overspending, meaning the company you’re with should be giving you some money back. But as much as companies like taking your money, they don’t like giving it back, so this might be something that you’re going to have to dig deeper about. Some companies however, will give you a refund when the end of your agreement runs out, but it’s always good to chase things up to make sure that you’re getting what your entitled to.
Car Insurance Reductions
If your car insurance premium is about to expire, then we know you’re going to have either had a renewal letter or email, stating what price that company is prepared to give you. This price should not be listened to. Half of the time, you’ll find that the quote they’ll send you will be even higher than the price you’re paying at the minute, even though you’ve done nothing to suggest that the price should go up! It makes no sense to us, but we do know that you shouldn’t listen to your renewal price. Always make sure you’re using different comparison websites to make sure that you’re getting the best deal that you possibly can. It might also be worth ringing up the company you’re currently with, and asking them why your renewal price is so high. You can also say you’ve had quotes for a certain amount, and they might be inclined to reduce their offer to match the others that you’ve received
So, you’re entitled to more than you think you are, aren’t you! Make sure that you always chase down money opportunities that’ll benefit you!
