Forest For the Trees – The Unrecognized Financial Exposure Employees Face
Wednesday, December 21st, 2011
The news is full of stories about increasing health care costs or the uninsured population. However, the real story is that benefits packages are being cut, and out of pocket expenses for employees are increasing. In short, when it comes to benefits, employee financial exposure is rising. How did this happen? It is a simple case of “forest for the trees”. In this article we will walk through how to calculate your employees’ average financial exposure and explore what options exist to allow your employees to protect themselves.
Based on common health and disability benefit packages, many employees making ,000.00 a year have a total financial exposure of ,000.00 or more. This exposure increases significantly with higher incomes, increased waiting periods for long-term disability, or even worse – no long -term disability plan is provided at all.
What is the Current Financial Crisis About?
Friday, December 16th, 2011
To me the current “financial crisis” with a bailout to save the economy is coming with the help from the media manipulation factory to solve now the old bubble of sub prime mortgages. Some leaders create a crisis just before the reelection – the timing is perfect – and are asking for a bailout based on stories about very complicated financial instruments and other banks’ mistakes. We like to know more about “banks’ mistakes.”
All it is too similar with the manipulation for war case in Iraq and is coming from about the same team. Induce fear, spook and get approval for war or like now for whatever output is wanted, your money. The trade is: “Give the bailout or will be worse.”

The current number of people unemployed in the U.K. stands at 1.79 million, increasing from 1.72 million in July 2008. The Unemployment rate stands now at 5.75%, the highest level of unemployment since in 1991 amidst the U.K.’s last economic recession during the premiership of John Major.

Redundancies have also been on the increase, with 138,000 people made redundant from April to June 2008, rising an incredible 78% from the three months previous. Redundancies have flowed from a number of sectors, although mainly those most affected by the credit crunch, namely Northern Rock, Ford, UBS, HSBC and investment bank Lehman Brothers.

Money For College — Most Students Do Get Financial Aid and So Can You
Saturday, October 1st, 2011
Trying to finance a college education can be a pretty daunting task these days. Somehow the college fund that we all should have started when our kids were three years old got spent during a period of unemployment before that child got out of grade school. Or even if those contributions got made we just did not believe the expenses would rise the way they have, and the college savings fund is, well, underfunded. Right now, when you add in tuition, fees, room, board, books and other expenses for a public 4 year university, and that is with resident tuition rates, it is easy to look at a bill that pushes ,000 a year! Multiply that K by 4 years, and you can see that a student, and his or her family, needs to come up with about ,000! A private school will cost even more, and many start at ,000 a year, or even more! Now consider that most families do not just have one child, but must help multiple kids get through school.

Financial Aids For Needy College Students
Saturday, September 10th, 2011
One of the most desired commodities in our present technological age is quality higher education. But it is rather sad that the cost involved is often costly and hence beyond the reach of many people, and this is the reason why almost anyone who desires a degree must seek for some form of college financial aid. This article throws more light on this, to help you if you are looking for the right aid as a student in college.
