Vasectomy Reversal - What Does It Cost To Change Your Mind

If there's one thing that doesn't change in this life, it's the fact that people do change. And we're not the only things that change on a routine basis - rules change, values change, times change, and so on and so on. Every day, decisions get made only to be changed the next. But, what happens when that decision is a vasectomy? For years, men have been told that once you have a vasectomy, it's like a diamond - it's forever.

Thanks to innovations in the urology field, men can now have their vasectomy decisions reversed through a procedure called a vasovasostomy. However, while some men may be happy to learn that their "boys" will once again swim free, others may be concerned about the financial reality of vasectomy reversal procedure. One of the most common questions asked is - how much does a vasectomy reversal cost?

The Reality of Vasectomy Reversal Cost

When you've had a vasectomy and make the decision that you really want to start or extend your family, a n be the solution you're looking for. However, because the procedure is delicate, requiring extreme precision for it to be successful, it is not inexpensive. And in many cases, insurance companies choose not to cover the vasectomy reversal cost. This means that the individual looking to have the procedure will often have to pay for the service out-of-pocket.

How Much Does a Vasectomy Reversal Cost?

The overall cost of a vasectomy reversal varies among physician practices. The cost of the procedure can also be impacted by the state in which the vasovasostomy is performed as well as by which type of procedure is used to complete the surgery. Depending on these factors, vasectomy reversal costs can run anywhere from $6,000 to $16,000.

Are There Financing Alternatives to Help Manage Vasectomy Reversal Cost?

Depending on who performs your vasovasostomy, there may be certain financing options available that can help you manage the vasectomy reversal cost. The most common options for paying for this type of fee-for-service procedure include:

* Cash - While it may take you a while to save up for the procedure, paying in cash will result in the most cost savings, avoiding interest rates associated with financing. Plus, in the time it takes to save, you will be sure your decision to have your vasectomy reversed is the right one. Of course, if the time required to save the cash is excessive then your partners age could have an overriding impact in the ability for you as a couple to have a baby, and financing could be more appropriate.

* Credit Cards - Most physician offices accept major credit cards. This can help you spread the vasectomy reversal cost over many months or years. You should, of course, also consider the fact that you will be paying interest on the amount charged.

* Specialized Medical Financing - Depending on the physician you choose, they may have a relationship with a lending agency that specializes in financing non-insured medical procedures. Like credit cards, you will be paying interest on this type of financing option.

Values in Recovery - Part 1

Values in Recovery - Part 1

Image source: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir6Gv6XZ6kyjNcZebAMPtrB4pJ8xi5eTaYUEh20UGNZ48ho8ydMaQLq_pNgvMkYxxlOVpJvPkTvRy3tP8gWne33qNA9cjFMawL6hyphenhyphenOBr6a-WDPG5Zhe7kVGft_CmjId8VjG6-FZ19eE5iN/s1600/AddictionRecovery.jpg

Understanding the Role of Values

Values are intended to help you lay a solid foundation for permanent change. This three part series is focused on the single most important aspect of your recovery: your values. Specifically, your ability to recognize, develop and use your values in practical ways.

Values: What Are They?

Your values are those principles in your life that you use to derive meaning and fulfillment. They form the foundation of your identity. If those values are consistent, your identity will reflect consistency. If those values are in conflict with one another, your identity will reflect conflict. For many, values are conceived as idealistic concepts without any real practical value in helping them to manage their day-to-day life. This needs to change. You need to construct a foundation of practical values from which you will manage the most important aspects of your life. Without this foundation in place, more complex life skills such as prioritization, decision-making, urge control, goal management, emotional management and others simply cannot be mastered. And addiction cannot be overcome.

The Role of Values

What an engine is to your car, values are to your life. Can a person still drive a car without an engine? Yes, but not efficiently. The engine performs a particular role for that car (to generate energy), and unless that role is fulfilled by some other means, the car will not run. What other options are available to generate this motion? The use of a tow truck, or the assurance that all of the trips made in that car will be downhill. Yes, that is sarcasm. But nonetheless, the car can still function as a mode of transportation--albeit in a much less efficient manner. Can a person live without values? Yes, but not efficiently. Values perform a particular role in life (to generate energy), and unless that role is fulfilled by some other means, that life will not run. What options are available in a life not stimulated by one's values? Well, addiction for one.

In a healthy person, values provide the motivation that drives their behavior. They are the impetus for decision-making and the foundation for feelings and emotions. Without a foundation of values, our lives would lack even the most basic sense of significance or meaning. We would be reduced to nothing more than animals guided by whatever made them feel good at the moment, no matter what the consequences. Which is why, as the progressive nature of addiction begins to take root, one's values diminish. And as that behavior continues to progress, the connection with their values can be lost altogether. Is it any wonder then that people who have struggled with addictions over long periods end up living a life that produces little, if any meaning?

The values that drive our behavior can be divided into two groups: practical values and universal values. Practical values include those which can be measured through daily interaction with other people, places and/or events. Values such as being a good father, a faithful wife, being healthy enough to complete a marathon, or persistent enough to write a book, financially responsible enough to buy a home...these are practical values that involve the inclusion of other things to determine their success or failure. Intimately intertwined with practical values are the more universal values that serve to produce the foundation of a person's identity.

The following Universal values are by no means comprehensive; rather, they are a list of some of the more common values that people derive genuine fulfillment and emotional comfort from. It is not necessary that you develop each and every one...though historically you will find your life to be stable and fulfilling when your foundation is based on anywhere between 5-8 active values (practical and/or universal). Any less than five and you will find your foundation vulnerable to collapse. Any more than eight and you will likely struggle to achieve the depth required from any single value.

Universal Values
Self-respect: Taking pride in who you are, the decisions that you make and the life that you are living
Safety/Survival: Maintaining patterns that promote life and avoid death/debilitation
Social Acceptance: Having the ability to initiate/maintain healthy relationships with others
Meaning: Pursuing a reason for your existence--spirituality, progeny, self-awareness, etc.
Security: Securing the resources (e.g. food, shelter, transportation) needed to maintain specific values (e.g. good role model, peer acceptance, travel)
Intimacy: Sharing a special trust and vulnerability with another human being
Health: Maintaining optimum physical and mental health
Love: Experiencing the three types of critical love: self-love, parental love and social love
Identity: Feeling that you are a unique, special and valuable person in the world
Integrity: Being proud of who you are in the eyes of others
Autonomy: Being in control over the direction of your life
Order: Having an organized plan for your life, even if that plan includes spontaneity

Practical Values
Whereas universal values anchor the stability of your identity, practical values make up the movement. Practical values are what you use on a day-to-day basis to affect change in your life, to derive ongoing fulfillment. All universal values have the potential to be practical values--if you develop them as such. For instance, valuing self-respect as a concept is a universal value; actually using that concept to assist you in decision-making makes it practical. Practical values are what promote change; practical values are what you need to be most actively developing in recovery.

Take a look at the following and see if you can identify the differences between the practical values and the universal:
I believe in God (U)
I pray to God each day for strength (P)
Family is important to me (U)
I am improving the way that I communicate with my wife (P)
I want to be a role model for my kids (U)
I want to role model patience, compassion and forgiveness to my kids (P)
Family is important to me (U)
I want to strengthen the role that I play in my brother's life (P)
I value freedom (U)
I take three hours each week to enjoy my freedom (P)
I want to reach my potential. (U)
I will spend no more than sixty minutes a day in front of the TV and/or computer--unless it is directly related to my pursuing my personal goals. (P)

Note that practical values are more specific than universal. That many practical values may fall under a single universal value. Note also that practical values can often be measured and/or assessed in quantifiable terms. This is not always the case, sometimes that assessment can only take place subjectively, but there must be some way of determining whether or not progress and/or regression are taking place.

For recovery to take place, to make the transition to health, you will have to evolve your practical values. The success of this development will be predicated on your ability to identify an initial set of values that is CONGRUENT with the life that you want to live. These, as opposed to developing a set of ideal values that define a life that you want other people to think you are living. There is no more room for appearances. If you are to end your addiction, the changes that you are making now must be real...and they must be sincere.

The following are common values that people might use to rebuild their life. Your goal is not to embrace these values because they sound good, but to really look at who you are and adopt those that you want to become a part of you.

Using Tax Accounting Software To Produce Self employed Tax Returns

Using Tax Accounting Software To Produce Self employed Tax Returns

Image source: https://www.beginner-bookkeeping.com/images/xHome_Office_Tax_Expenses_Spreadsheet_Screenshot.png.pagespeed.ic.oCvQn54J4s.png

Tax accounting software has its basics in each of the three elements of the title. Accounting being the production of the financial accounts in a template format suitable for the tax system. Tax and tax software denotes the inclusion of the tax rules with software being a description of the fact that the process is automated.

Self employed accounting

To be most effective the self employed accounts should be in a format that can eventually be used by the accounts program to produce the financial information required to complete the tax returns. Since in the UK as in many countries there are several types of tax returns then the accounting software should cope with all variations.

Database accounting software is frequently based upon a chart of accounts which is not necessarily tax return friendly. Accounting template spreadsheets being more fixed in nature do offer an opportunity to be tax friendly.

Facility should be available to distinguish between revenue transactions and the purchase of fixed assets as fixed assets are treated differently for tax purposes being subject to capital allowances which are tax allowances written off against the net taxable profit according to the tax rules as opposed to being able to deduct the whole cost of that asset in the one financial year.

Income Tax and Vat Tax Return Software

In the UK the self employed accounts need to supply the numbers for up to three different variations of the self employed tax return. One of two tax returns has to be completed each financial year, those returns being known as the short tax return and the full tax return which have replaced the self assessment tax return.

The short tax return is completed according to the sales turnover of the business. Less detail then the full return is required with only totals required for businesses with a sales turnover under 30,000 pounds.

In addition to the financial year end tax return self employed business whose sales are above the vat threshold must also complete a quarterly vat return. With various types of vat schemes available the accounts package and tax software should be capable of dealing with different vat schemes.

Database accounting packages invariably have the facility to deal with value added tax and various schemes where other types of accounting software may be limited. It is important that tax accounting software provides the user with the specific tax accounting requirements.

Tax Software

To be effective in satisfying the description of tax accounting software the system should also include the tax rates and rules applicable. The tax accounting can then take those tax rates and produce an estimate of the potential tax liability which is a principal concern of all self employed business when the time for filing taxes approaches.

The term software indicates automation based upon data input which the computer package then processes to produce the desired output. Tax software produces the tax requirements of the user.

A tax accounting software package takes the prime financial transactions, converts those numbers to the format required to produce the year end self employed tax returns and quarterly vat returns as required. In addition the tax software function would also use the tax rates to automatically calculate the income tax and national insurance liability

Using A Bookkeeper Or Doing The Bookkeeping Using Software

Using A Bookkeeper Or Doing The Bookkeeping Using Software

Image source: http://palladiumes.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Bookkeeping-Spreadsheet-Using-Microsoft-Excel-Property-Management-Accounting-Software-Reviews.jpg

Bookkeeping records to produce a set of accounts at the end of the financial year to show the sales turnover, business expenses and the net profit for tax purposes is an essential function of every business enterprise. Medium and larger businesses employ accounts clerks, bookkeepers and accountants to maintain the financial records and produce regular accounting information. Many small businesses chose to do the bookkeeping themselves or outsource the accountancy work.

Small businesses and in particular self employed business have a choice in how the financial accounts are prepared and produced. A small business may employ the services of a bookkeeper to produce the accounts while another similar business may keep a manual record of financial transactions while a third option is to use a bookkeeping software system.

Small business has a choice as to how it produces its financial records. Some simply do nothing but the best option is to make a finite decision regarding the path to take. Financial accounts, financial control over the business activities and the knowledge of how well or badly the business is performing is crucial to success in the business environment.

The underlying necessity is that if the small business does not take a decision on its financial accounting then at the very least it must accumulate documents of prime significance such as sales invoices, purchase invoices and possibly bank records during the financial year and assemble these into some sort of order after the end of the financial year for tax purposes. Failing to keep financial records often results in a succession of administrative burdens and often also leads to financial penalties if taxation deadlines are not met.

A minimum of a manual record of accounting records is required should the smaqll business not use bookkeeping software or utilise the services of an accountant or bookkeeper. Producing an income and expenditure account for the business using the prime financial documents of business is not rocket science and most businessmen capable of running and managing a business have the skills required to producing the bookkeeping records.

The major disadvantage of a small business keeping manual records is that documents get lost which may result in profits and taxes being over declared, fines and penalties through inaccuracies and often when accounting is produced in this way it is done at the end of the financial year purely for tax purposes rather than as an essential tool of the business and that reduces financial control within the business during the financial year to a minimum and often zero.

If a manual bookkeeping system is adopted then disciplined recording of the financial information on a regular basis should be enforced and regarded as an essential function and not an administrative burden. An understanding of the detailed accounting records and the effect on the business allows effective management decisions to be taken earlier than if someone else performs the bookkeeping function.

Other alternatives include utilising bookkeeping software which is effectively often a manual system in itself but within definite parameters to produce the essential information. A bookkeeper might be employed whether a manual system is used or bookkeeping software adopted.

Using bookkeeping software has many advantages. First of all any small business that has purchased bookkeeping software is more likely to keep regular up to date accounts than one that has not. And secondly the bookkeeping software is likely to provide a fixed set of disciplines and produce the type of records a small business requires for both the preparation of regular financial statements and the end of year tax returns.

Another major advantage of bookkeeping software is that records tend to be less likely to be lost or mislaid; the packages can be backed up as required but essential financial performance can be improved by greater financial control. All businesses work towards producing a satisfactory bottom line and only by producing regular financial statements can the business obtain the earliest information to achieve that satisfactory performance.

Bookkeeping software comes in many different formats from simple spreadsheets to more complex data based accounting software. For a small business the bookkeeping software of choice is often a simple system requiring limited accounting knowledge but must also be a package that produces the desired end result.

The worst bookkeeping software is a complex program requiring prior accounting knowledge that the small business either does not fully understand, cannot be bothered or does not have the time to learn and having tried the system then abandons it. Better to avoid the wasted time and effort by choosing the appropriate accounting package at the outset.

Bookkeeping software in effect automates the manual keeping of financial records. The most important aspect of using a bookkeeping package be it a da6tabase accounting system or a simpler set of bookkeeping spreadsheets is the enhanced financial control and the effect that intimate accounting knowledge can have to influence the net profit.

Bookkeeping can be outsourced to an accountant or bookkeeper and there advantages in doing so. A quality outsourced finance function does produce accurate timely financial records. If the small business has a volume of paperwork that becomes a burden to process and keep on top of then a bookkeeper may be the best solution.

Employing a bookkeeper becomes essential when the paperwork burden reaches a stage when it distracts the small business owner from getting on with the main task of operating the business. Outsourcing bookkeeping costs money but may be an appropriate action if the time released can be better spent gaining additional business and improvong profits.

A major disadvantage in using a bookkeeper is that the small business owner may remove themselves from the detailed records. A small business manager who prepares the financial accounts tends to see every transaction several times both when the trnasaction is made, the paperwork received and also when entered in the financial accounts.

This second view of the accounts can be important, errors in management judgement can be noted, mistakes and bad practises become more apparent. Missed documents are much more likely to be noticed if the small business owner produces his own bookkeeping records than if the task is carried out by a third party such as an accountant or bookkeeper. Nobody knows the business as well as the small business owner knows his own business.

The conclusion and decision each small business should take is doing something. A manual bookkeeping system may suffice but the business may be better served using bookkeeping software to increase financial control and performance. If the administrative burden of maintaining the paperwork detracts the small business from its main operations then an accountant or outsourced bookkeeping services is a logical solution.

Up To $250,000 Financing, Start Ups and Marginal Credit Welcome

Up To $250,000 Financing, Start Ups and Marginal Credit Welcome

Image source: http://gsinvestmentbnk.com/online/images/1.jpg

If you are looking to start up and/or expand a business, finding capital is always one of the most difficult adventures the entrepreneur will encounter. Two key components to the financing side is the credit qualifications and the amount of money required either to start up and/or expand the operations.

One of the solutions, that I can offer to you in a leveraged world is the concept of leasing. Leasing is an unique opportunity for the individual and/or business to utilize very little front money and acquire financing up to $250,000, application only. An application only means there are no financial statements, income tax returns, personal financial statements and bank statements required. The collateral of the acquisition and your good credit is the key to this approval, no additional collateral is required.

In this equation, you must asking yourself what good credit is, a personal credit score of 680, 700 and maybe 725 or higher. In this imperfect world where the economy is somewhat unstable, this opens up a unique opportunity for dealer financing with small and large U.S lenders. One particular program offers the start up and seasoned business an unique opportunity where the minimal personal credit must be 575 or higher. Wow, are you kidding and no bankruptcies discharged within five years. With an unstable economy and a shrinking labor pool, this offers an unique opportunity for the start up business and the seasoned one as well.

You probably asking what the catch to this is? Really none except this is a dealer financed inventory and you must select the items out of the lender's inventory. This inventory includes approximately 300 work trucks, trailers, and construction equipment. These items range from basically new to ten years old and all items are reconditioned prior to being re-leased. The front money on these deals, at this time of year, range from 3-5% of the acquisition cost and financing up to 60 months. Wow! All of the dealer financed inventory has residual buyout clauses at the end of their leases from ten to twenty percent, Therefore you can take title to the acquisition. If you don't have the funds available at the end of the lease, the lender permits you to continue making payments on the residual until it is paid off, so either way you will take title to the item financed.

Examples of what is in the dealer financed inventory: dump trucks, over the road trucks, day cabs, garbage trucks, landscape and grapple trucks, flatbed trailers, dry van and reefer trailers, backhoes, excavators, dozers, forklifts etc...

One of the additional features of this dealer/finance program is that shipping to your location is an additional option for you. The location of the dealership is in the Midwest. The decision that you have is whether you want to fly out and inspect the acquisition and drive it home. The other option is that the dealer can have it shipped to where you live. This additional charge can be financed, however requires some additional front money, the decision is yours whatever is best for you.

In conclusion, whether you are a start up business or a seasoned one, there are many leasing programs available. You should be careful and understand the details behind the lease and the lender requirements. Many banks and lenders also offer repos and off lease commercial vehicles and heavy equipment for lease with advantageous terms. Check it out and find yourself a deal.

Understanding Investment Grade Insurance Contracts

Understanding Investment Grade Insurance Contracts

Image source: https://cdn.seamlessdocs.com/form_thumbnail/201511/img_7d5ca4650f96f59be6aadc8196725d0c_w850.png

I am not sure but I think it was the best selling author and successful financial strategist Douglas R. Andrew who first coined the term, "Investment Grade Insurance Contract". But what exactly is an investment grade insurance contract and why should you care?

Insurance contracts in general are some of the most often misunderstood financial vehicles on the planet and yet they offer some opportunities that can not be found in any other financial products. Why should you care? Because not knowing about the unique advantages of an investment grade insurance contract could cost you literally thousands of dollars in missed opportunities. Let's take a look at some of these opportunities and then we can break down for you just what an investment grade insurance contract really is.

There are many financial vehicles that allow your money to grow tax-deferred while you are trying to grow your nest egg. And any financial advisor will tell you that tax-deferred growth is an advantageous pursuit. Making interest on your interest without having to split that growth with Uncle Sam means that you will end up with a much larger account than if you had to pay taxes along the way. Even if you have to pay tax at the end when you pull the money out you still end up way ahead of an investment vehicle that offers no tax shelter. But what if you could grow your money in a vehicle that was not only tax-deferred but where you could pull your money out tax-free when ever you need it. How much better off would you be? Well an IGIC (Investment Grade Insurance Contract) can help you do exactly that if you know how. But before we get into what it is and how to set one up lets talk about another unique advantage.

Recently, I met with a client of mine who is about to retire and he expressed to me that he has been sheltering his money in tax-deferred accounts like IRA's and 401(k)'s his whole life and now that he is about to retire he was worried about what happens to all of that money when he passes away? After all he didn't squirrel all of that money away just to leave it to his silent partner (The U.S. Government). Well had he been saving that money in an IGIC instead of in his government regulated retirement vehicles he could have left the entire account to his children, his grandchildren or whomever he chooses with no income taxes due.

So far we talked about this IGIC offering tax-deferred growth during the accumulation stage of your life and then tax-free distributions during the distribution stage of your life and then lastly we talked about how this plan can be passed on to your children income tax-free in the wealth transfer stage of your life but are these the only benefits? Actually no. There are at least 3 other advantages that I can think of.

The first other advantage in addition to the tax break is that your money can grow without any stock market risk. This makes for a very nice supplement to most government regulated retirement plans like 401 (k)'s that are often subject to sharp stock market losses. Yet even with this protection in place the return on your money can also be very competitive.

Another advantage of the IGIC is that the when set up properly you have very liberal access to your money. If you are currently using IRA's or 401(k)'s your money is generally tied up until you are 591/2 except for certain rare circumstances. And if you borrow out your funds beware, stiff penalties apply if you don't pay the money back on their terms and in their time frame. Often you are forced to garnish your wages just to pay back a loan of what is supposed to be your own money. None of these harsh requirements are involved with an IGIC. Access to your money is much more easily accomplished because the plan is not a government regulated retirement vehicle.

The last advantage that I have room for in this article is that if you were to pass away prematurely before retirement the IGIC would provide an insurance benefit to your loved ones that would always be much more valuable than the sum of all your contributions. This last benefit helps you begin to see just what an investment grade insurance contract really is.

You now know most of the benefits of an IGIC but what is it exactly and how do you set one up? An Investment Grade Insurance Contract is simply a permanent life insurance policy that has been set up in exactly the "opposite" way that most insurance agents tend to set them up. The most common way the typical life insurance agent goes about setting up your plan is to first determine how much life insurance you need. Then he or she tries to calculate, what is the largest amount of insurance they can give you for the smallest amount of money out of your pocket?

When a life insurance policy is structured using that method a good portion of your premium dollars ends up going back to the life insurance company in fees and insurance charges. (See my article on life insurance fees and charges to learn more) You will most likely be disappointed in the growth of your cash value.

On the other hand there is an alternative way to structure a life insurance plan that tends to go against the conventional wisdom of trying to get as much death benefit "bang for your buck" as possible. In this alternative scenario the agent or advisor structures the plan to give you the least amount of death benefit that the IRS requires so that you can stuff your plan with the highest allowable amount of cash that the law permits. Why would anyone want less death benefit you ask? Because the lower the death benefit in relation to your premium the less you pay in insurance charges and the more cost effective your plan becomes.

But you are probably wondering why go through all of that trouble to calculate the correct proportions? How does that benefit you? Well if you set this up correctly you get all of the benefits mentioned above and a competitive return on your money over the long haul.

Are there any disadvantages to IGIC's? Like any financial vehicle there are always pros and cons. Some things to consider are that you are not able to write off your premium dollars like you do in an IRA or 401(k) plan. Another problem is that if you are not in at least somewhat decent health you may not qualify for this type of plan. Also these plans are designed to work best over the long term as they offer advantages in multiple stages of your life. To get the full benefit from an IGIC you should be looking to invest your money for the long term even though you will have short term access. If you are looking for high short term speculative gains this is not the program for you.

Lastly there are lots of ways to set up these plans. You can use many different types of life insurance as your chasse. You can use Whole Life, Universal Life, Variable Life, or Equity Indexed Life. But often times it is not the product that is the biggest concern, it is instead finding someone who truly understands how to structure these plans correctly so as not to violate the current tax-code. Make sure your advisor has been fully trained in understanding IGIC's and has helped other people to set them up. For a listing of quality financial advisors you might try doing a Google search under "International Association of Registered Financial Consultants" or "Found Money Management". Advisors on both of these sites have been through extensive training and should understand these concepts in detail.

Understanding Income Purpose Investing

Understanding Income Purpose Investing

Image source: https://maplemoney.com/wp-content/uploads/what-is-income-investing-pin.jpg

After 45 years of investing, I've come to the conclusion that the equity (or growth purpose) market is a far easier medium for investors to understand than the far safer, and generally less volatile, income purpose securities market. As counter intuitive as this sounds, experience supports the premise.

"Understanding" boils down to the development of reasonable expectations: just how do you expect the market value of your income purpose securities to react to varying market, interest rate, economic, political, atmospheric, and "other" conditions"... and, does it really matter?

Few investors grow to love volatility as I do, but most expect it in the market value of their equity positions. When dealing with "income purpose" securities, however, neither they, their guru/advisors, nor market commentators are comfortable with any downward movement whatsoever.

Not to make excuses for them, but most professional and media folk think in terms of the individual bonds and other debt securities that Wall Street markets to brokerage firms and other large investment entities. Bond traders hate to discount their inventory due to higher interest rates... it's bad for year end bonuses. But their bond market disaster is the individual investor's opportunity to buy the same amount of income at a lower price.

Most investors are also more receptive to loss taking advice on income securities than they are with respect to equities... always the affect of a "market value" rather than an "income production" focus... and a well kept Wall Street secret.

The list below describes some important characteristics and concepts involved with investing in income purpose securities. Familiarization with these will aid in the development of valid "performance" expectations. Doing so will also help develop an appreciation of this important (and somehow not too often mentioned) relationship: changing market values (in either direction) rarely have any impact on the income being generated by the security.

Confucius say: keep your eye on the ball, you can't buy groceries with market value or total return, only income pays the bills... without depleting sacred capital

General attributes of income purpose securities:

They generate a predictable stream of interest, dividend, rent, royalty or other income.

They pay income in specific amounts on specified dates.

Their risk of financial loss varies dependent upon security type, issuer quality, and maturity, BUT, all normal income securities are considered far less risky (financially) than the common stock of their respective issuing entities. State government paper is less risky; federal government issues carry no financial risk at all.

The purpose of the income asset allocation of an investment portfolio is the production of income in an amount large enough to assure: annual growth of income producing capital and annual growth of income production.

High dividend common stocks (utilities, etc.) are not included within the income purpose security definition, although they may be less risky than other equities.

Bonds, loans, and other interest bearing securities are issued by both corporations and government entities and have maturity dates upon which the principal is returned to investors.

Income securities that are guaranteed as to principal and interest, or protected by "safety mechanisms" of any kind always bear a lower yield than otherwise similar securities.

Generally, fluctuations in market value have nothing to do with the financial viability of the security issuer. Most often, they are the result of anticipated changes in the direction of interest rates, or the tax code.

Any form of either market value or total return performance analysis in a predominantly income purpose investment portfolio is counterproductive, at best... particularly when compared with any form of equity index.

Bonds, mortgages, notes, and other "debt" instruments are generally illiquid securities with wide price "spreads", and difficult to either sell at "statement" prices or add to from the marketplace; income closed end fund portfolios are liquid containers for illiquid securities, thus eliminating the major drawbacks of owning individual bonds, mortgages, loans, etc.

Higher interest rates (lower prices) are good for income investors because they produce higher yields from new (and existing) securities that are available for purchase.

Lower interest rates (higher prices) are good for income investors because they can provide "reasonable" profit opportunities on securities already owned.

A reasonable trading profit on an income purpose security is anything in the neighborhood of "one year's interest in advance", keeping in mind that three 7s always beat two 10s.

Theoretically, income purpose securities should be the ultimate "buy and hold" security blanket within retirement income portfolios. But if you examine the average retirement portfolio, especially 401k portfolios, you would find a remarkable low "income purpose" asset allocation. This seemingly nonsensical behavior is as much the result of government regulation as Wall Street manipulation. For example:

The Vanguard Retirement Income Fund (VTINX), with nearly $17 billion in assets, is one of the most popular and well respected of all funds in retirement income portfolios, particularly 401ks. The five individual funds inside yield just 1.75% in actual spending money to investors... but they are dirt cheap.

A diversified portfolio of income purpose Closed End Funds (CEFs), with payment histories stretching back more than twenty years, would yield well in excess of 7.00% after somewhat higher expenses. CEFs are never found in 401k plans and rarely appear in IRA and other retirement portfolios created by investment professionals; please let me know if you know why.

Confucius say: if you buy cheap, you get what you pay for

The focus of an income purpose portfolio needs to be: the amount of realized, spendable, income produced irrespective of market value fluctuations. The operative investment management objectives need to be: growing both the productive working capital and the spendable "base income" within the portfolio.

Wall Street has you believing that lower market values are always bad and that higher prices are always good. This is the conventional wisdom we've all had thrust upon us for decades. But price volatility is the very nature of securities markets, the very reality that creates both buying and profit taking opportunities, particularly in income purpose securities.

Higher income purpose security prices mean lower yields, but also increased realized profit potential; lower income purpose security prices mean higher yields and buying opportunities. I see no bad or good; just the opportunity created by either scenario. (The same is true, incidentally, with Investment Grade Value Stocks.)

It is the inherent safety (i.e., lower risk of financial loss) of income purpose securities that creates this almost perfect relationship. Price volatility is always good.

"It's OK, it's natural, every market value fluctuation is satisfactual" is what I've been singing for decades... particularly since the creation of income CEFs. Rarely, even in the three major meltdowns of the past 40 years did any high quality company or government entity default, regardless of tremendous price fluctuations in all securities. Each time, the vast majority of CEF income payments kept rolling in, unscathed by the surrounding chaos.

Providing Florida Workers Compensation is required by the law. This being the case, it is crucial for employers to ensure that said coverage is in effect at all times. Read on and gain a more thorough understanding of how the Florida Workers Compensation differs from insurance laws of the other states in America.

Industries Needing Florida Workers Compensation Most employers, especially those who use the services of blue-collar workers on a regular basis, need to avail themselves of this coverage. These lines of work, because of the presence of inherent dangers, are just some that require Florida Workers Compensation to be in full effect.

Agricultural businesses that have five or more full-time employees, and so are farmers who retain the services of twelve or more seasonal workers, are bound by the law to obtain Florida Workers Compensation.

Construction businesses maintaining at least one worker, whether regular or part-time, have to acquire this coverage as well.

Non-construction businesses such as those in direct selling of goods, and retain the services of four or more seasonal or regular workers have to provide its roster of employees with the said insurance.

Options for Obtaining Florida Workers Compensation A handful of channels are available for employers who are required to secure this coverage for their workers.

Businesses with stable and big cash flows, and who can provide state-mandated benefits to workers who suffer from work-related injuries or illnesses as they are claimed, can elect to become self-insured employers.

Acquiring the coverage from any of the insurance companies authorized by the state.

Signing up to become a member of an accredited professional employer organization and availing of the associations group Workers Compensation policy.

Employers unable to secure Florida Workers Compensation from the first three options can obtain the policy from the state-run Joint Underwriting Association.

Benefits Provided Under the Coverage Under state laws, the Florida Workers Compensation should extend these to both workers and employers:

Any lost wages calculated up to a specified portion of the salary will be provided in cases where the employee is unable to render services due to work-induced health issues.

Rehabilitation of employees who suffer from health problems such as emphysema will be covered under the Florida Workers Compensation.

Financial assistance for any medical care deemed necessary to treat or rehabilitate workers who get injured while performing work-related duties.

Employers get to count on liability insurance in cases where they get sued by workers or their immediate kin for work-related injuries or death.

The premiums will most likely be based on the number of workers to be insured and how perilous the specific industry is. It is then essential to find the most reasonably priced yet most comprehensive Florida Workers Compensation coverage for it to be truly of service to both the employers and the workers. And you will be glad to know that E-WorkersComp.net is committed to providing these. Consult with one of the expert Brokers now to find out just how much you can save!

Borrowing loans undoubtedly frees you of financial worries; but, the thought of repayment gives a shiver down the spine.

Installment Loans are available in different time frames, and repayments are made in few months or over the period of many years.

These loans are considered to be safe and affordable option for people who are already in a financial debacle.

Different types of Installment Loans

Financial Market has a broader category of Installment loans, such as:

Secured Installment Loans

Unsecured Installment Loans

In secured loans, the borrower is asked to provide proof of a legit guarantor. Lenders use any asset of the borrower as the collateral. If repayments are defaulted, the collateral is seized by the lender.

Unsecured loans are comparatively risk-free, as there is no need of guarantor in this case. However, the borrower has to pay a bit more inflated interest rate as lenders ensure their future by calculating more interest amount, in case borrower does not repay the amount. 

Largely, the loan is borrowed to fulfill the personal needs. However, the financing route is also available if you have a plan to start any new venture. Shifting from the fixed job to entrepreneurship requires immense financial backup.

Financial brokers all over the country are dedicated to guiding you to locate the exact destination for such loans, and they make sure your loan gets guaranteed approval on the first go.

Umbrella Insurance - What Is It And Why Do You Need It

Umbrella Insurance - What Is It And Why Do You Need It

Image source: https://homequotecity.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/shutterstock_340457417.jpg

Many people are unsure of what umbrella insurance really is. They see insurance companies using umbrella logos and pictures and they assume that this means the insurer is covering us on a rainy day or during a time of need or that they cover you for every eventuality. As heartwarming as that may be it has nothing to do with rainy days and everything to do with liability cover.

Quite simply, umbrella insurance covers the holder for liability beyond the value of any other short term insurance policy they may hold. Why would you need this additional cover? Quite simply people today can and often do sue for absolutely anything and everything. Umbrella insurance offers additional cover to you in the event of you losing a lawsuit and your current insurance policy's liability cover being insufficient

Umbrella cover is not a necessity for everyone though. You need to evaluate the value of your assets and determine if your personal liability will cover you sufficiently in the event of a lawsuit. In addition, what are the chances of you getting sued? This will be a very important consideration. For instance, if you are a business owner who sells a particular product, you could easily be sued in the event of a product failure or injury as a result of your product. However, if you are an office worker who does not deal directly with customers or produce any products, you are much less likely to get sued. It may also cost you significantly less to simply increase the personal liability on your current insurance policy rather than buying additional umbrella cover.

So when do you need umbrella insurance? You will need this extra liability cover when one or more of your other insurance policies do not have an adequate level of liability cover. Your primary policies will often only cover you for bodily injury and property damage. A good umbrella policy will include bodily injury, personal injury and property damage which could be caused by you, your dependants or even your pets. In addition, an umbrella policy can also cover you for false arrest, invasion of privacy, malicious prosecution, defamation and eviction, among others.

An umbrella policy will kick in after you have used up the entire limit of your liability cover on your primary policy. Umbrella policies are usually very cheap as they are hardly ever used. Primary insurance policies often cover the full extent of liability claims. For individuals liability cover is not something worried about much. However, businesses are far more conscientious of liability levels and liability cover, so it is far more likely for umbrella policies to be included in risk cover for businesses. However some business insurance policies come with extra liability cover built into the policy thus negating the need for additional umbrella insurance.

Be sure to discuss the fine print of any umbrella policy with a broker and/or insurer as there are often limitations and loop holes in these policies which may leave you exposed when claiming. Shop around for umbrella insurance policies as comparing insurance quotes and policies could save you money both in premiums and in possible losses. Being sure of what your cover entails will stand you in good stead in the long run.

Truck finance. Buying and owning a vehicle is every man's dream in Australia. But if you are a farmer or an owner driver who wants to buy a truck then things can be more difficult than buying a car. Why? The investment involved here is greater so is the risk.

Truck finance in Australia is supported by many banks and financiers. For big truck finance there can be a commercial truck loan application needed.

Usually people choose to buy a new truck through financing, which can be a sensible option especially if you are hard on cash. This process involves payment via installments making it more feasible for middle class individuals. Truck financing is available at a bank or a private individual can also lend you money. You can choose which lender, after weighing the pros and cons of both and decide which one to go for.

People normally can think of only two ways of buying a vehicle, either pay in cash or obtain a loan. The former one is not a likely choice for most of us involved since it is can tie up valuable working capital or funds that you can invest elsewhere for better value.

Truck lease companies generally require three main fundamentals when approving a large truck loan. These are:

That you own a property, cash, shares or assets of real value. This is known as fallback position which means you have something to fall back on if the unforeseen bad time happens.

Working capital. Most trucking contracts don't see income until after the first month, sometimes longer. Finance companies want to see sufficient funds available that you have at your disposal to cover expenses and if there is an unexpected expense like engine trouble. This amount can be anywhere between $10-$30,000, which can depend on the age of the truck and can be what you can arrange through a type of loan but not included with your truck finance.

Work source. For startup truck finance applications it is important that you have sufficient arrangements for where the work will come from. This normally has to be in writing and confirming in what way will they will pay you (ie by weight, km's, load). This should also state what work would be made available to you.

Existing operations may not require this as their current financials may show affordability. Banks and finance companies can ask you for your last financials.

Truck finance can require a tailored finance application. This can require but may not require cash flows, financials and details account of your business. A commercial loans broker can be useful to do this and assuring you get your truck finance at better interest rates.

A good commercial loans broker will be able to assess your application before submitting it to a finance company assuring that it is going to the correct lender and it will have a good chance of finance approval. They should be able to assist with any cash flows, financial information and presenting your application correctly.

Treatment Of Bills Receivable In The Accounting Process

Treatment Of Bills Receivable In The Accounting Process

Image source: http://ppl.app.uq.edu.au/sites/default/files/9.35.01b%20Accounts%20Receivable%20Process.png

Usually this agreement entered into by the buyer stipulates that payment must be made within 30 days. In recent years, the tremendous increase in the use of credit cards, issued by financial institutions to their customers, has done much to simplify these accounting transactions.

Bills, although no longer widely used, are still important in the wholesale trade and in foreign transactions. Bills have certain characteristics that make them negotiable documents. A financial document is negotiable if it can be transferred from one person to another. This is achieved by the holder endorsing the document and delivering it to the other party. Bearer documents are transferred by delivery alone. To be negotiable, a financial document or bill must have the characteristic that, under given circumstances, the owner's rights are unalienable, even though his predecessor's rights were defective or invalid.

A bill is a negotiable document in the accounting process. It is an unconditional, written instruction issued by one person to another whereby the latter is instructed to pay on demand, at a specified or specifiable future date, a certain sum of money, either to the order of the person specified, or to the bearer.

There are at least three parties in the accounting bill records, namely the drawer, the drawee and the payee or bearer. The three parties need to be different persons; the same person can be party to the bill in more than one capacity. For example, the drawer can specify that the money must be paid to himself, therefore he is both the drawer and payee simultaneously.

The definition of a bill stated that it could be made out to 'bearer', in which case any person in possession of the bill on the due date could claim payment from the drawee. This means that the right to receive payment of a bill can be transferred to another person merely by handing it to him or her. If the word 'bearer' is crossed out and replaced by 'order' (pertaining to the possible negotiability of the document) it means that the drawee is instructed to pay the amount concerned to the payee, or to any person specified by him in writing, or to any holder subsequently specified. Such written specification must appear on the bill itself (usually on the back) and is know as an endorsement. Therefore, within the accounting process is bill is considered as a negotiable document.

When an enterprise enters into a large number of bill transactions, it is impractical to make a separate journal entry for each accounting transaction. In such cases, a separate journal with the necessary columns is used as a subsidiary journal. Accepted bills are valuable documents and, as in the case of cash, must be controlled properly in an accounting system. They must be safely stored immediately upon receipt. The balance on the bills receivable accounting control account must be compared regularly with the items in the bills book and with the bills on hand.

Bills receivable are current assets and are shown in the accounting balance sheets as such, together with other current assets. They are shown at face value, less any possible provision for doubtful recovery. Bills receivable are often combined with debtors as a single amount, shown as debtors and bills. As in the case of debtors, provision should be made for any bills that could possibly be irrecoverable.

A lot of travellers want to enjoy a fine vacation but they often forget to buy travel insurance, thinking that it's only a waste of money. They feel like buying it only adds more burden to their travel investments than they already have.

But what if you broke a limb while sight-seeing heaven forbid? What if you suddenly fall ill on the third day of your trip? More to the point, do you think your available budget would be able to cover your medical consultation or hospitalization fees? There seems to be more questions than answers.

It is high time for travel junkies to consider sparing some money for unexpected financial challenges. An even darker dilemma that many of them shudder to face is getting caught up in a medical emergency that necessitates airlifting. Have you enough money to pay for air ambulance and the personnel who will ensure your safe transport?

These situations may seem farfetched when faced with the prospect of touring historical sites, swimming in a tropical beach or tasting the local cuisine.  However, once the unexpected does happen, you will have little time for regret. If you want to avoid such a scenario, your viable choice would be to arm yourself and your family with the right travel insurance plans.

The Right Travel Insurance Plan

What constitutes the right travel insurance plan? Simple: a plan that matches your needs.

How do you know if a plan matches your personal travel requirements? First, you should review your travel insurance policy. This approach will not only help you understand what to expect from the insurance provider and your corresponding responsibilities as a potential plan holder, but it also gives you an overview of your coverage plus the reasons that will render your claim null and void.

You have the option to customize your travel insurance plan. Talk to your agent and see what adjustments can be made within the ambit of your policy. In order to know whether a plan reflects your needs, assess the pros and cons of getting a travel insurance and see if the price fits your budget.

Types of Travel Insurance

Travel insurance plans come in all shapes and sizes but these are three of the most preferred plans:

1. Travel Medical Insurance By far the most important type of travel insurance, travel medical insurance is available in both short-term and long-term trip plans. Take note: not all travel medical plans cover pre-existing conditions. Certain travel insurance companies do provide coverage as long as the pre-existing condition has been stable for some time and  controlled.
2. Multi-Trip Annual Travel Insurance Plan This is the perfect and most cost-efficient plan for frequent travellers. All your trips for the entire year will be covered. Each trip must not exceed 23 days. If you want to save up on your travel budget while making sure you have a financial buffer, then choose this plan.
3. Trip Cancellation Insurance This travel insurance plan covers trips cancelled due to fortuitous events. It is an optional feature that can be added to existing trip plans, both short-term and long-term.

You have the leeway to avail of a comprehensive travel insurance package inclusive of all three plans. A comprehensive plan covers all grounds and is more cost-efficient particulary for travellers going on long-term trips.

For more information about travel insurance products and services, please do not hesitate to touch base with a trusted travel insurance provider that does not only understand what you want in a plan but accommodates your concerns and provides answers to your questions.
