Vacation Pay for Unused Vacation Time? Plus A Suze Orman Event

lifeinsurance whizz — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 22:04:46 +0000

For us residents in California, we’re used to seeing budget cuts applied to a lot of things. The financial crisis in California is particularly apparent when you see its effects on the public school system. Well, this article from my local paper just made me wince, because as you can see, the story describes just another example of how our government (this time, at the state level) has been handling its finances. Well, here’s the latest expose and more fodder on the California budget crisis — apparently, government employees have made off with pretty huge paychecks here in California, simply by NOT taking vacation time. Their unused vacation time translates into big six figure payouts, with the top 25 checks reportedly ranging from $203,921 all the way to a dazzling $815,736. Wow. Imagine this — those state government positions can be a gold mine, with overtime paying off for a whole lot of people. Here is an image that portrays this predicament ( Click this link or the image below for a larger picture. ): And here’s a breakdown of vacation pay amounts across California agencies: Small wonder California is broke.

Personal Savings from American Express Review

admin — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 15:04:54 +0000

We’ve covered some of the best high interest savings accounts in the past, and I’d like to add a few more savings products to the list. While I associate American Express with top of the line credit cards, they actually also have a banking arm through which they’ve been offering a couple of high yield savings account options. So if you’re looking for a place to stash your cash, and would like to work with a familiar name in the financial space, then I’d like to point out the following Savings Accounts from American Express Bank, FSB. Personal Savings From American Express American Express Bank has two types of accounts for your savings. Here are some details: #1 Online Savings Account The High Yield Savings Account from American Express is an online savings account that currently yields a 1.30% APY, with interest compounded daily. This account does not require a minimum balance and does not incur any fees. You’ll also get 24/7 access to your account via phone or the web. And of course, your accounts are fully FDIC insured. You’ll be able to access your money through the standard methods of electronic transfer and check writing. To get more information on the American Express High Yield Savings Account, please visit this link . #2 Certificates of Deposit The American Express Bank also offers a variety of certificates of deposit of varying terms. Just like their savings account counterpart, these accounts are FDIC insured, are accessible 24/7 and don’t charge a monthly fee. Their terms range from 3 months to 5 years (60 months); the corresponding interest rate you can earn ranges from 1.00% APY for the 3 month CD to 2.95% APY for the 5 year CD. A one year CD yields 1.50% APY at this time. To get more information on these American Express Certificates of Deposit, please visit this link . These look like great options for your cash funds.

Financial Retirement Planning For A Life Expectancy of a 100

Alex Chasick — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:23:18 +0000

Some more retirement investing advice . So how long do you think you will live? I am thinking I will make it to age 81. Well, if I’m lucky. My grandmothers lived to be 88 and 93 so that’s pretty good. The men in my family have all passed in their 60s or 70s. Uplifting thoughts, huh? Morbidity aside it really is important to think about your life expectancy and whether you are really ready to live for a century. So, what do you think your chances of living to a hundred are? Of course, the fairer sex always wins this particular “race”, if you see it as such. Here’s how it generally breaks down: Life Expectancy Rates Current Age Target Age Male % Female % 40 85 48% 62% 40 90 30% 42% 40 95 15% 22% 40 100 5% 8% This table shows the chances that an American man or woman will reach the target age specified, given that they’re currently middle-aged (in this case, that age is 40). If you’re looking for something more accurate, you can do a search for a mortality or longevity calculator. These statistics are for the “average” man or woman and do not really account for things like genetics, lifestyle, etc. Following is a Wikimedia map to see what life expectancies are like around the world. If you can’t make out the label and details, just click the graphic and it will expand to a larger image. Basically, this is what the colors break down to: Dark Red = life expectancy of under 50 years; Red = life expectancy of 50 to 60 years; Orange = life expectancy of 60 to 70 years; Yellow = life expectancy of 70 to 75 years; Light Green = life expectancy of 75 to 80 years and Dark Green = you’re expected to reach 80 or older. Well isn’t that interesting! People in Australia and Canada on average, live the longest? The good news is that there are more centurions alive in America today than in the past, and the U.S. has been in the forefront of medical advances. Also, lifestyle changes and diet allow us to increase our chances of living longer each day. The flip side of this are the issues posed if we do beat the odds: not many of us may be financially prepared to live long lives. For some of us, it would have a potentially disastrous effect on our families. For instance, a poll by Money Magazine found that 3% of respondents worried about losing their health, 69% of losing their mental abilities, and 60% of running out of money. Where do you fall? What worries you most? Personally, my biggest fears are that of losing my health and running out of money. Not necessarily for my sake, personally, but because I would most likely become a warden of the state or a burden on my family or both. Financial Retirement Planning For A Life Expectancy of a 100 Let’s go through a few issues involved when planning for the distant future. Here are a few considerations I found important: 1. Review life expectancy numbers. Of all the assumptions made in financial planning (inflation, rate of return, tax brackets, etc.), your life expectancy is probably one of the biggest of all. Using the wrong number can be detrimental. I would always suggest using a higher number than you think. The averages listed above are just that, averages. They do not reflect anything about diet, exercise, family history, etc. I have always focused on the century mark as a “worst” case scenario. For instance, based on your projections, you may want to ask yourself: how would you fare should you live to a 100? But, this is the part that truly becomes overwhelming for people. Here’s an example I’d like to run: Using the landmark ages above (85, 90, 95, and 100), how much would you need to cover your expenses should you spend $75,000 a year currently? The answer (excluding social security or pension payouts) would be $2.5 million (age 85), $3.6 Million (age 90), $4.6 million (age 95) and $5.9 million (age 100). Those numbers look daunting for anyone. It’s no wonder that people run and hide from planning and avoid trying to provide for their future. But, with the proper planning and due diligence on your part, these numbers seem less awe inspiring. For instance, there are other considerations you’ll need to make — perhaps your expenses may not be that high, or you may be expecting social security and/or pension payments that will supplement your portfolio earnings. Some of us may even consider working past retirement , and may therefore need less. But the point of all of this is to have some idea and plan for it. 2. Visualize your retirement years. I think it’s a good idea to visualize your retirement years as definitively and concretely as possible. This will help you narrow down exactly what your expenses will be. Part of that is knowing where you are going to live (check out this piece on best places to retire for cheap ). Don’t make the mistake my parents made by moving to some remote area in Colorado. Not only are their winters rough, but access for family members flying in for support is harder and expensive, medical care is less abundant, and networks to nurture and support their older days are few and far between. They also did not think about the practicality of living in a farm house structure. While charming in its own way, it offers a host of challenges for my father’s health now and will become more problematic when they reach their 70s and 80s. Of course, they retired in their 50s and did not think of these things. So, please know where you will live and why. 3. Don’t underestimate your retirement expenses. You also don’t want to underestimate your retirement expenses. Many people assume that they will spend around 85% of their current expenses in retirement, but that’s pretty arbitrary. You must factor in again where you will be living, your expected lifestyle, getting help as you age, and the huge costs of healthcare. All these factors can lead to your retirement expenses (or income need) being the same or even higher than when you were working. Some scary statistics from the Employee Benefit Research Institute study showed that a 65-year-old today would need to have socked away at least $122,000 to have a 90% chance of fully covering his or her future healthcare costs. And, that’s with employer-sponsored retiree insurance. As if retirement wasn’t hard enough for many people. So check if you’ve saved and invested enough for your retirement . Make sure to factor additional costs in and try to become properly insured to cover the extras (long-term care, etc.) Otherwise, as you reach the century mark you may easily run out of money. So, how long do you think you’ll be around? How does that factor into your planning and your current savings and investment plan? Please do yourself and your family a favor and get as specific as possible about your retirement plans. You will most likely be around a lot longer than you think and you want to be prepared.

How To Remove Spyware, Malware or Any Computer Virus?

Ben Popken — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 18:53:03 +0000

Would you know how to remove spyware, malware or any computer virus off your machines? Revanche of A Gai Shan Life shares her stories and questions on the matter of keeping one’s computer clean! For more of her delightful anecdotes on life and finances, you can subscribe to her RSS feed . The pop-ups and virus alerts were off the charts for me yesterday. When Avast and Microsoft Defender both failed to trace which nervy little bugger was causing Internet Explorer, the bane of my browsing existence, to pop up with nonsense and Failed 404 error pages, I did what any savvy netizen would do: I emailed my young cousin, the family tech geek. It was a much easier diagnosis than usual. He promptly (for a footloose and fancy free college student) emailed back with his suggestion. The free anti-malware du jour, he said, is found at Malwarebytes , a program that his private college uses in their tech department. I had some trouble initially downloading and running the purportedly free program, but I eventually worked it out and was presented with a list of infections discovered in my computer (most of which I recognized from the invasive IE pop-ups) along with a Paywall to fix them. Verdammt ! Intrepid cousin did a few more evaluations. I then ran the nearly hour-long scan for a thorough check. This time, the program came through with flying colors, finding and repairing all points of infections. We’ve been running a clean ship ever since. I highly recommend the Malware program as an adjunct to your primary virus protections. What anti-virus tools do you use? Here are a few popular ones: Symantec Norton Tools: Norton 360, Internet Security and AntiVirus 2010 (10% discount with code: sym2010new) Symantec Software Upgrades & Renewals PC Tools: Spyware Doctor, Registry Mechanic, Internet Security for the PC Panda Security Anti-Virus Products ESET Anti-Virus and Security Software AVG Anti-Virus and Security Software Computer Associates Internet Security and Anti-Virus Tools Some of these products allow for free trials. How To Remove Spyware, Malware or Any Computer Virus? The quick and free (but for family favors) service got my wheels turning. I almost always have the benefit of a family or family friend’s expertise when it comes to IT maintenance; the one time I used paid “experts” at the local Best Buy, I sorely regretted the experience. In short, when it came to having “professionals” work on my computer, I did without my machine for two weeks whilst they “diagnosed” the problem and called me back to the store with a regretful, “We can try running a [insert unintelligible test here] but it’ll cost $200 and then the repair will be extra. Oh, and you’ll lose all your data whether or not we can fix the problem.” Thanks but no thanks! Here’s what I ended up doing: I took my neglected machine home to find that the Geek Squad had left their mark in the irreparably broken brightness function. Robin managed to salvage the machine AND my data, but we co-existed with eye strain for another three years (always with a touch of resentment that my precious Vaio had been violated). The late lamented CompUSA was always a decent resource for new parts and somewhat informed advice, but where does one go now for good IT and computer hardware assistance? Other than cultivating your very own Family Geek, do you have a reliable resource for troubleshooting? Would appreciate your thoughts! As an aside, it’s always a good idea to be prepared for computer downtime.
