Refinance Your Car

     Many people may not famliar with the phrase.But this will save you for about 50 percent of your money!

     But you have to be sure that the cost for you to refinance will cover the remaining years that is left in your loan. In layman’s terms, this is not the years left for you to pay, but the remaining years you want to own your car.

     You have to make sure that if you want to go on and declare, “I will refinance my car” that your monthly savings are enough and will not incur closing costs.

     Normally you can count up to 1 to 2% of the new loan that amount to all the closing fees and adding up to your title insurance. Just make sure that your lender will estimate all the closing costs and help you when you come up to him with the suggestion, “Can you assist me as I refinance my car?”

     The lender must justify your refinancing through your closing costs. These must be recovered in the life of the new loan. Read the rest of this entry »

What is a Good Credit Score?

     In our society,a good  credit is very important for us.But you may not know about the details,for example,the scores.Then this article will give you the information.

     Credit scoring is a statistical technique that is used to assess the prudence of extending credit to a borrower. It determines the extent to which the lender may stretch his/her purse strings. According to the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, a credit scoring model cannot incorporate the following factors: race, sex, marital status, nationality and religion. If the model gives weight to age, it must ensure that older applicants are not discriminated on the basis of age. Credit bureaus are believed to assign the following weights to factors while calculating credit scores: 35% to previous credit performance, 30% to the level of current indebtedness, 15% to the use of time credit, 15% to the types of credit available and 5% to any new credit that is availed. Hence, a credit score is calculated on the basis of factors that can be expressed in numerical terms in order to eliminate the question of bias.

     All scoring models have a range. Generally, if one scores poorly, one can expect to be in the lower end of the range. Generally, a person’s credit score or the FICO score is a number between 300 and 850. Range is a measure of dispersion and is defined as the difference between the maximum and the minimum value. Since a credit score ranges between 300 and 850, FICO scores have a range of 550.

Choose A Good Financial Advisor

     We are not professional ,so it is a great help for us to choose a financial advisor.But this seems not a good job.And this post will give you some good tips.

     Here are questions to ask a prospective Financial Advisor:

     1. What are your educational qualifications? Do you have legitimate certification as a Financial Planner or a Public Accountant? Or a Bachelors or Masters University degree in Financial Planning or Business Administration? Are you a Juris Doctor or a Registered Investment Adviser? Educational qualifications are very important because they denote that the person has undergone extensive training in his field and so is professionally qualified to give you financial advice.

     2. What kind of financial services are you offering? What financial areas do you generally cover? These vary from Planner to Planner, depending on their educational qualifications, work credentials, work license, and financial knowledge.

     3. Are you registered as an investment advisor with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)?

     4. Do you hold a Federal Securities License from the National Association of Securities Dealers? This is needed if they are going to sell you securities.

     5. Do you have a clean regulatory record? You can check up on this. A professional selling securities will have a Central Registration Depository (CRD) file, giving his full detailed work profile.

     6. What work experience do you have? How many years have you been in this business? Ideally the Financial Advisor should have been in the business atleast 5 years. Read the rest of this entry »

Finance Planning

     It does not matter if you are a layman when you are doing your own finance planning.But you should read this post carefully.

     The most common situations, which call for financial planning for the average middle class person, are:

     Retirement: For any salaried individual, retirement is an eventuality. While many countries provide social security to retired people, the real income that one earns from such schemes may be severely hit by inflationary trends. For example, over a ten year period considering an average inflation rate of 4%, $1225 would fetch the same value as $1000, provided the growth in prices of all commodities remain fixed at 4%. Thus, a person who subsists on an amount of $10000 today would need to earn at least $12254 to maintain his current living standard ten years hence. In other words, if a person retires with a capital of say $100000 and earns 10% on this capital through investment in bonds, etc, he/she would require a capital of $122540 to earn the same value ten years hence. That, at an age when he/she may not mentally or physically be in a position to engage in constructive, income generating employment. Obviously, such depreciation of real income/capital calls for long-term planning.

     Children’s Education: With the steep rise in unemployment the world over, people need to acquire special skills to be assured of even a moderate living. And as the demand for such skills is increasing, so is the cost of acquiring such skills getting pushed up. A person whose child is say ten years old today would require a substantial amount of money a decade hence for his college education, and planning for the same needs to done from today to avoid complications at the last moment.

     Medical Contingencies: Medical contingencies have become so much a part and parcel of everyone’s lives that they can no longer be termed as contingencies. Again, while newer and better medical tools are being developed everyday, the cost of medical treatment is unfortunately on an upward spiral. Thus, while a person can expect to live longer thanks to the modern day medicine, it is not a very comforting thought when one takes a look at what effect it could have on one’s finances. Even planning ahead may at times not suffice, but it can at least provide a cushion to fall back on when ailments hit.

     Apart from the above, sudden cash flow mismatches may occur for numerous reasons – an impulsive tour to Hawaii, for instance. While every such eventuality cannot be anticipated in advance, the least a sensible person can do is to create a buffer for himself for the rainy days. And that buffer can only be created through proper planning of one’s finances while the going is good.
