It is impossible to know what is going to happen, especially when it comes to our finances. The current state of the economy makes that statement all the more frightening. But the truth is that sometimes we get backed into a corner financially. If you find yourself in a situation where you need a quick influx to cash to get you moving, or help you get over a hurdle an unsecured personal loan might just be your best bet. If you have had an unexpected vehicle, or home repair that must be done immediately, or perhaps you are about to leave on vacation and find that you are short to pay for the reservations you have already made. When these times of financial crisis strike, an instant unsecured personal loan is often the best answer.

Unsecured Personal Loans

An unsecured personal loan is an advance of money from a financial lender without any collateral to secure it. This means if you do not own a home or a car to put up as collateral he financial institution will only have legal recourse to get their money back should you default on paying according to the terms of your loan. Lending groups will run your credit report to help them determine what type of interest rate to give you. The lower your credit score the higher the interest rate, this is due to the perceived threat of risk the lender is taking on based off of your credit score. If you have poor credit, don’t despair, there are many unsecured personal loan agencies that will still give you a loan even with a bad credit score. Just know that you will face a higher interest rate.

Unsecured personal loans really vary from company to company and loan to loan. Borrows can get anywhere for a few hundred dollars to a few thousand. Repayment terms vary just as much. Some loans require repayment within a few weeks, while others will take up a couple of years for repayment. There are a lot of choices out there so it is important to do your research.

Repayment

A very important step to choosing a loan is the terms of repayment. It is vital that you make sure you can afford the monthly payment that is being suggested by the lending group. Getting an unsecured personal loan often means that you are already in a financial pickle. Not following the repayment terms and not paying the loan back timely will only cause further financial problems. Before signing any paperwork make sure that you can afford to take on the monthly financial burden that this loan will put upon you.

Finding the Right Loan

The best place to look for an unsecured personal loan is on the internet. There are hundreds of companies specializing in just these types of loans. They are set up to deal with the high risk borrowers. Often they are much easier to work with than a bank or credit union.

As the internet grows as a business medium, identity theft is becoming a bigger problem by the week. Most people, however, don’t realize it can cause you problems with the IRS.

As the name suggests, identity theft is the swiping of your identity for dubious purposes. If it happens to you, it is more or less a nightmare. The biggest worry for most people is credit accounts being opened and abused by the thief in question. This results in your credit being destroyed, which means good luck in buying a house and so on.

There are other ways identity theft can be a problem. Identity theft can really hurt you with the IRS. There are a couple of ways this can happen, so let’s take a closer look.

First, you identity can be used to create fake identities for others. It sounds like something out of a spy novel, but there is a more practical application these days. Illegal immigrants are facing new regulations in some states where they must produce proof of citizenship to receive medical service, a job and so on. Guess where they are getting it? Yes, your personal financial information is being sold to them, specifically your social security number.

So, how does this cause you problems with the IRS? This is where the second problem arises. Your social security number is also the number used by the IRS to track your earnings. If someone else is using it to get a job, the IRS is going to think you earned far more money than you are reporting on your return. Nothing aggravates the IRS more. You can expect a huge audit and pure misery until the situation is worked out.

If this nightmare scenario happens to you, are you sunk? Nope. The IRS is keenly aware of the problems with identity theft. This is particularly true since scam artists are sending out fake IRS emails to try to snare unwary individuals. If you are a victim of identity theft and start getting notice from the IRS, there is one step you need to take. You must immediately contact the IRS. If you procrastinate, the IRS is not going to be particularly sympathetic. Act now.

Once you act, the IRS will take a closer look at the earnings. They may interview the employer, but will definitely look at the location of the business. If you are in Los Angeles and the employer is in Boston, the IRS is going to let you off the hook.

Identity theft is a nightmare, so be careful out there. If you run into a problem that gets the attention of the IRS, communicate immediately with them to avoid bigger problems.

You have signed a contract to buy your dream home and now comes the fun part of trying to get financing. If you have excellent credit, tons of money in the bank and have been on the job for twenty years, you will have absolutely no problem at all. But wait, you say, that is not you. The basic borrower has problems of some sort in trying to finance a home, whether it is credit or the length of time he has had his deposit in the bank.

Real estate financing is a big, multi-billion-dollar business, and the banks are fighting for your business. With all the foreclosures and the recession at our door, a smart buyer can name their terms. If you shop around and look for the best rates and then attack your loan like you would a “rattler,” you can be successful.

Knowing a few things that will be required to make a loan will help you.

1. You deposit must be in the bank for a minimum of two months. To get around this, you can get a gift of a deposit. Many programs at banks are utilizing this type of loan and basically, it is a simplified loan. All you do is get your grandmother who can prove she has had the money in the bank for 6 months, write you a gift letter. She gives you the money through her bank account. You can now prove you have your deposit “seeded.”

2. Credit is a requirement these days with all the foreclosures going on, and all banks are being really careful about who they are loaning to. To get around poor credit, you will need a co-signer, someone who has really good credit to aide you in securing the loan. The trick with a co-signer is that he must be able to show he is not deep in debt, also. So a strong co-signer must be able to qualify for the loan.

3. You must be employed for at least 6 months but preferably 2 years. There is no escaping this requirement, unless you can show that you left your previous job to go to a better-paying job with more benefits.

Mister Webster, I’d like a word with you, and the word is cyberllectual.’ I must admit to making up this word myself. You see, I needed a word to describe a phenomenon I had observed and I found none that fit in any way that satisfied me. So I made one up. Cyberllectual (sigh-ber-lec-choo-al) noun.

You have, no doubt, already discerned the parentage of this word, cyber’ and intellectual.’ You will have also gotten a feel for its true meaning.

The modern information age has given birth to a new type of intellectual. We all know people who fit the old form. They are individuals who have mastered several schools of knowledge. They always seem to know more than anyone around them about these areas.

I call these people Wizards,’ and I collect them for fun and profit. I have a programming/software wizard, an automotive wizard, a business wizard, an I’m-in-a-real-life-crisis-and- the-therapists-never-covered-t his wizard (Hey Dad). These wizards are an endless supply of answers to me.

Einstein was a wizard on Relativity. If you asked him any question about space and time he could probably answer it. But if you asked him about that funny knocking noise your engine was making he’d be completely stumped. According to firsthand accounts you could stump ol’Albert just by asking him his telephone number. It wasn’t his wizarddom, the inner workings of the universe itself was.

Which brings us to the Cyberllectual. Ask a cyberllectual about space and time and he’ll say “Give me a bit and I’ll get you an answer.” Ask him about the engine knock and he’ll say “Give me a bit and I’ll get you an answer.” The cyberllectual knows he doesn’t have to know. He just has to know how to know. While the wizards of the world are running around with off the shelf right brains, left brains,’ the cyberllectual went one further and tacked on the entire Internet as an extension of his mind.

In some ways the cyberllectual is the first true know-it-all.” They are masters at fact-finding and data mining. They can coax almost anything out of a search engine because they know how to ask it the right questions. They know where on the net each type of information is stored and how its particular sect likes to store it. They also know that there are places besides the internet to mine for data, like me, they collect wizards.

I once heard it said that the entire amount of knowledge needed to comfortably exist in the early 1900’s could be fit within the pages of a thick Wall Street Journal. But that the amount needed to navigate the present wouldn’t fit in the entire Encyclopedia Britannica. It’s only going to get worse, and brains aren’t getting any bigger. I believe that the true masters of tomorrow will be the cyberllectuals.

But fear not, for unlike the towering intellects that ruled the land before us, cyberllectualism is not a trait born of genetics. It’s a learned skill. Do you want to be a cyberllectual? You’re halfway there.

Always be prepared is one of the best time management strategies for busy people. In today’s life there seems to be a bombardment of time stealing occurrences. For those of you who, like me, waste precious time sitting in a doctor’s office, medical facility, or any other place that can keep you from your writing/work, you can still be productive. A challenge I had a couple of months ago happened as I waited for hours in a hospital while my husband was getting a medical procedure done.

Being experienced at this sort of thing I brought my laptop, my zip drive and a notebook. I also brought a book on marketing I was reading at the time. I looked forward to having this uninterrupted time alone to work. So, I eagerly set up my laptop and started an article. I typed and typed, and typed. Each time I saved the document I noticed it gave me an unfamiliar message, but I just saved away. After about an hour, I realized the trial version of Word Perfect that came with my laptop was no longer available. I felt like letting out a scream, but looking up from my laptop I noticed there were 10 other people sitting in the small waiting area. Three of them had laptops also. Under the circumstances I thought it best to refrain from any outburst.

I took a deep breath and tried to get into a trial version of Word, but I needed an internet connection for it. Unfortunately, lately I seem to be under the ‘Murphy’s Law’
spell and couldn’t get a connection. On to plan C, I took out my notebook. Although, I’m from an era in which all we did was write - there were no computers, laptops or cell phones when I was growing up. Even though I grew up with writing, it’s not something I like to do. I find it cumbersome and slow. There is no delete, no copy/paste, no getting it down as quick as I can think. Nevertheless, pen in hand, I persevered and finished my article. It was in the sloppy kind of quick script I use when I have to use pen and paper, but it was done.

At this point it was 2 hours since my husband and I arrived at the hospital. I took out my marketing book and read for another hour. Finally, a nurse from the Short Stay unit informed me my husband was back in the unit. While it did take a little planning to make sure I brought enough items to keep busy with, had I not been prepared to utilize my time productively, I would have wasted the entire 3 hours. To really be prepared you must try to prepare for the unexpected.

Cusomer Service Equals Performance Equals Service

Customer Service can be described as a “performance” of some kind involving two parties, whereby one party is the benefactor and the other party is the performing party receiving some type of monetary payment. The value of the Customer Service depends on the personal experience of the benefactor. When I looked it up in Webster’s, there it was at #11 out of 31 definitions. The payment part was not included, but the key word mentioned was “performance.”

As I relate this to restaurants, it’s so easy to see why dining room customer service is excellent training for actors, since they’re performing all of the time. There might be days when their energy level is low, yet they are still expected to perform in the show on stage at night. It is not much different for dining room service staff whose livelihood depends quite a bit on how they look and act before many people on any night. The word “performance” makes a lot of sense when relating it to other Service fields such as medical, legal, financial, and armed; even in religion they have prayer services.

With increased human knowledge and modern inventions, the term “Customer Service” has evolved over time. Whenever a new technology is invented, an array of “services” develops making it accessible to the general public. Its success depends upon product “performance” and the product-related “Customer Services performance.” Whether it is a bulb to make a room bright or a flying machine that sends people around the world faster, the need for developed services attached to new technologies does create jobs.

Even at the computer we dial up our Internet “Service” Provider to gain access to the information highway. The instantaneous delivery of sorted out information within seconds is now the norm. Proper navigation “performance” (that word again) allow us to surf the World Wide Web, streamlining information at our fingertips. ” With improved search engine technology, the return of consumer searches has become more categorically specific, proving that better performance results in better Customer Service.

Take a look around and you will notice Service performances touch every part of our daily lives - many of which are taken for granted.

It’s that time of year.

This is when we all start getting those emails that want to steal our secret codes and passwords. You know the ones: “Your Account Is About To Be Closed,” “There’s A Block On Your Account,”, “Congratulations – You’ve Won The Lottery (that you never entered).”and my favorite “Could You Help Me Claim My Funds?”.

This is also the time of year when we start shopping for gifts and the last thing you need is for your bank or credit card accounts to be stolen by “cyber grifters”. They are counting on some of us to follow the instructions in the email.

First and foremost, DON’T FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE EMAIL! If you think there might be a problem, access the account in question as you normally do on your PC and not with the link supplied in the phony email.

I’ve had some very authentic looking email supposedly from banks, that even went so far as to copy the colors of the bank logo and stationery style. But, don’t fall for the scam. In fact, don’t even open the email, because many are just set to loose a virus program on your computer by being opened. Simply forward the suspicious email to the “spoof email” address supplied by your bank, or credit card company.

Identity Theft is a worldwide epidemic. According to the Better Business Bureau and Javelin Research, almost 9 million Americans fell prey to identity theft this year with fraud costing businesses and individuals over $56 billion dollars.

There are ways to reduce your chances of identity theft:

1. Understand debit card dangers: When it comes to fraud, debit cards carry much greater personal liability than credit cards, depending on how quickly you report the loss of the card. If you fail to report unauthorized use within 60 days of receiving your bank statements, you could lose all the money in the account and be held responsible for the amount of money that has been tapped from your line of credit.

2. Rethink check writing: That little slip of paper has way too much information. Some experts advise against check writing because it gives away your address, bank account number, signature and license number to complete strangers. On top of that, there’s no federal legislation to limit your liability for forged checks (each state has its own set of rules). Experts advise that you look into automating your bill paying.

3. Secure your mail: Your mailbox is a goldmine of information. Between bank statement, bills, and all those pre-approved credit card offers, your mailbox is loaded with personal data which identity thieves can use to easily apply for a credit card in your name. Unless you diligently check your credit report, you may never even know about it. One way to avoid this is to have your mailbox under lock and key, but most of us in Santa Clarita have our mailboxes at the curb in front of our house and the postman frowns on carrying dozens and dozens of keys around. The other solution is to have a rented mailbox, or to foil “dumpster-diving” thieves by buying a shredder and destroy documents before discarding.

4. Go virtual: For shopping online, there are “virtual” card numbers. These are randomly generated credit card numbers that are disposable and that on-line shoppers use once and throw away. It’s linked directly to your real credit card account so purchases show up on your monthly bill. The service is easy to use – and it’s FREE! All you need to do is register with companies offering the virtual card, and they are MBNA, Discover, and Citigroup.

5. Create an emergency identity kit: Would you know how to contact your credit card company in an emergency? Create an emergency kit that contains: your account number, expiration date, issuing company name, and emergency contact number for each card you own. While you’re at it, make copies of your driver’s license, social security card, birth certificate and passport and store them in a locked box or file cabinet, or a safe deposit box. I like the safe deposit box best, because this gives you protection in the event of a catastrophe such as fire, earthquake, etc.

This may all seem like a lot of unnecessary work, but if you’re ever the victim of identity theft – even just once – you’ll realize that it’s well worth the effort.

Many of us forget that were it not for what we carry in our wallets or in our purses, we’re all John and Jane Doe’s if we can’t speak due to injury or are unaccompanied by someone who knows us. How much less stressful is it to know that in a bank box, no matter where you are, there are items that can verify your identity. Better to be safe, than sorry!

Financial planning in your 40’s is still relatively easy. Many 40 year-olds are beginning feel the need to prepare for the future. Retirement is still a distance away, but it seems to moving up much faster than a decade ago. The sense of urgency is coming over the horizon with the onset of middle age.

The reality is that with 20 years until retirement, planning is made easier because you can still start small and still end up with a big pile of cash and income at retirement.

In your forties, you can afford to take a few risks that you can not take later because theoretically you have time to fail and start over.

The first thing that you need to do is to start a regular systematic savings plan if you have not already done so. This can be a savings account at a bank or purchasing savings bonds regularly. The idea here is to pay yourself something every pay period or once per month. Once this is established and becomes a routine, you are ready to move on to the investment stage of financial planning. Build a nest egg up to about twice your monthly salary before you begin investing in anything that puts your funds at risk.

The first investment move you should make is to find a good investment adviser. Usually, banks have one or two of these around. If not, you can go to any established well-known investment company. Sit down with the adviser and plan a strategy that will work with your indigestion. You do not want to feel heavy stress if you have small losses before you begin to make money on your investments. An adviser can help you split up your investments according to your acceptable risk.

You need some type of combination working with moderate and high risk investments. There are many selections to choose from. Your adviser can steer you into those that are currently performing best with the least amount of risk.
