Unemployment Survival: Taking Back Control
One of the most emotionally crippling aspects of unemployment is the sense of powerlessness it engenders. Job layoff triggers financial pressures, emotional distress, family turmoil, and dashed career hopes. It is forced on us by unrelenting fate, an emotionally disengaged employer, and economic currents that have little to do with us personally. We feel that we have no control over our situation, our lives, our future.As we work through the anger, resentment, depression, and fear which is the common lot of the jobless, we can take some steps to regain our balance, reclaim a positive focus, and reassert personal control.1. Daily Routine.We no longer have the structure of work to mold our days and give meaning to our leisure time. In a very short period of time, we start to drift. Our days are so much the same that we no longer remember what day of the week it is. The line between work and relaxation blurs. We don't work hard enough at our job search so we feel guilty which spoils our play time. Nothing has to be done immediately so we put it all off until tomorrow. Take back con

Areas of the country that have enjoyed a big run up in values the past year are now paying for it. Local tax assessors doing their jobs, based on comparable sales, are moving assessed values up to increasingly high levels. Housing affordability is a function of interest rates, housing prices together with the taxes and insurance and income levels of the citizenry. With the recent run up, in some cases the property taxes have more than doubled. What is particularly disturbing is that many municipalities (NOT ALL OF COURSE) are awash in cash with this new surge in revenue. These governing bodies have the power to reduce the milage rates to offer some sanity to these homeowners. Like found in the most recent Congress they are on a spending frenzy. Yes, there are always projects and departments that can use more cash, but every stinking penny of it?

Rainy day funding begs for savings and cost cutting measures with tight budgeting that will insure a governmental structure when the pendulum swings back. Typically the taxes go up and rarely go down. It’s just the way it is. Like it or not. A recent example follows: Pete and Betty bought their three bedroom, two and one half bath two story home with a two car garage and 2,500 square feet for $417,000. The taxes going in were $2,800 per year. Six months after moving in the new tax bill is now $6,500. Since the taxes are in the tax escrows the monthly went from $2,800/12=$233.33/month to $541.67/month or a 232.14% increase. Going in Pete and Betty put 5% down and qualified for 80% first mortgage and a 15% second mortgage to avoid PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance). The rate on the first mortgage is 6.25% with a 7.99% on the second mortgage. The payments are $2,054.03/month on $333,600 first mortgage and $458.54/month on a $62,550 second mortgage. Then the total monthly mortgage payments is $2,054.03 + $458.54 for a total principal and interest of $2,512.57 per month plus the taxes and insurance. The insurance based on a replacement value with $100,000 land value backed out is $3,600/year or $300 per month. The taxes at purchase were $233.33/month making for a total payment of $3,045.90/month. When qualifying for the mortgage Pete and Betty together with some small debts had a Debt To Income Ratio with all debts including housing and installment debt of some $1,000/month (car payments, credit cards, student loans, etc.) of 37%. Between Pete and Betty they earned $10,950/month. In some parts of the country that’s a lot, other areas it’s just squeezing by. In this case, this home and neighborhood was nothing special and was regarded by many as entry level. Now with the tax increase the monthly tax escrow moved up some ($541.67-$233.33=) $308.34/month. Upon purchase of the home some needed items were upgraded such as carpet, paint, furniture, counter tops thinking they had their budget was under control. Now their Debt To Income was stretching to 50% of their income before taxes and reductions for social security taxes and Medicare taxes. Things were now officially in a tight financial pinch. They had saved the 5% down payment and closing costs for three years and had $38,000 to put down and satisfy the two-month housing reserve requirement. About two weeks after their purchase the neighbors next door, who have since become friends, bought a similar home but utilized an Option ARM and now with the negative amortization kicking in found themselves really over the barrel with the new tax bill.

Manage Credit Card Debt with Balance Transfer

Debt advice is usually available with most financial services, for both personal and business debt problems you may be carry.However, make sure to read the terms and conditions to make the transfer of your debt as smooth of a process as possible.

The most common debt help offered is 0% interest rate a year.

Powerful Product Presentations, Your Most Potent Tools, Part 3 of 3
In the marketplace, value is built, profit is protected and sales are closed by salespeople who possess superior presentation skills. There are tools that can separate you from the crowd if you take the time to master them. If you don't, you will find yourself leaving prospects under served and sales opportunities lost. Here is one of those tools.In this, the third in the series, I want to draw your attention to an area of the presentation that the majority of salespeople overlook on a regular basis. It's the area of emotions or feelings. It has often been said that customers make buying decisions emotionally but justify those decisions rationally. As a sales manager, I saw that statement proven true every day.That then begs this question. "Why do so many salespeople neglect involving the customer's emotions when presenting a product or service?" Often salespeople will "show and tell". The 'show' what a product will do and then they will 'tell' what the benefits are. Rarely will they talk about what the customer will 'feel' as they experienc

Used Car Leases
Leasing a used car is trickier than leasing a new car. Used cars do not have MSRP (manufacture's suggested retail price) stickers on them, which makes it more difficult to estimate their cost. The capitalization cost is a guess based on the current market value of the car. Different dealers will give different quotes, and you have to shop around to get the best deal.When leasing a used car, its warranty might be over and that means you will have to extend the warranty by paying an additional fee. There may be parts that are still covered, and you need to demand a list of all the warranties on the car and its parts. There may be some parts installed by the previous owner that were not in the original car. Any such customization would increase its lease price and would increase the monthly installments.Maintenance costs on used cars are high. Though there may be coverage for all the major parts, there is still monthly checkups that need to be done and this is a huge bill for the entire lease period. And if you neglect this maintenance, there goes your claim deposit.There is an upsi

With higher prices and higher property taxes the relocation of key employees is weighed against what is available in the area versus housing in the area they are leaving. All of this is factored in. With the housing market slowing down and average sales times extending out to three to four times from six months prior sales period. Prices will drop but the tax load may be slow to follow with neighborhood comparable sales. Relocating companies finding an unfriendly tax structure keep looking.

With many municipalities experiencing similar rising tax assessments this phenomena is being repeated. An extra tax layer is burdening the homeowner. Many governments to blunt this trend enacted homestead concessions whereby owner occupants are giving some tax relief. Some states are even considering enacting legislation to make the homestead benefits portable. If that happens some relief may ensue. However, the commercial, industrial and investor properties are left to take it in the neck. This will only go on so long before market forces will compel these taxpayers getting the short end of the stick to move on. Rental homes begin to make zero sense and investors throw their hands in the air and move to other options. Rental customers are hurt.

Some rust belt cities of old, are starting to look really attractive as tax friendly states. At one time everything was going great for them then changing industries, markets and such turned everything upside down. People left in droves for jobs and good housing. Now, there might be a case for coming back based on a housing affordability index which is key for company relocations that weigh tax levels and user friendly governments with ready trained and skilled labor markets.

What is a homeowner to do? It’s tough for one person to tilt at windmills. The assessors are doing what they are instructed to do without deviation. However, the decision-makers are the budget makers and elected commissioners and such who set the millage rates and dictates the levels of assessments. It is this target group that one might achieve, with the help of his affected neighbors, some results of rollback by pressing for accountability on budgets, expenditures, entitlements, ear marked funds that seldom get review. Everything needs to be examined very closely. One of the great moves of this past years Congress is to commit the entire Federal Budget for review on the Internet. This will put all the dark corners of the budget in the white-hot light of review by the public. BLOGs will put a spotlight on egregious items begging for publicity and review. A similar move would be good for local municipalities and states where the entire budget is set online.

The bad news for local communities that have now become burdened with higher property tax loads is that housing affordability suffers. Now with a spike in foreclosures and the popularity of hybrid loans such as Option ARMs, Interest Only, have now become an added burden by way of property tax increases laid on top and further greased the skids to accelerate more non performing loans for lenders. With this dynamic imputed into the housing affordability index buyers begin to migrate to outlying areas trading higher tax burdens with higher fuel usage to get to th
