Gold Bullion: An Insurance Policy For Uncertain Times by Christina Goldman

Your financial advisor has warned you against buying gold bullion! It's a a terrible investment, you've been told. Gold has a real rate of return of practically zero over the past one hundred years! It's midnight cable tv's investment "snuggie!"
Investment advisors, who are ignorant of or dismiss the value of investing in gold are known for making assertions like the ones above.

Let's look at the metal from the perspective of an insurance policy against the loss of purchasing power and not as simply an investment that has appreciated substantially against all of the world's currencies as well as tripled in price over the past six years.

Think about this for a moment.

To protect your home against destruction, you purchase an insurance policy, right? Gold bullion is a form of financial insurance and should be regarded as so. Not as an investment but as insurance against the erosion of purchasing power caused by the declining dollar.

Dollar convertibility into gold ended on August 15th 1971, when President Richard Nixon forever closed the gold window. No longer tied to the gold standard, the U.S. dollar could be printed in unlimited quantities or in other words just 'float.'

Today, after 38 years of being backed by absolutely nothing but the full faith and credit of our U.S. government, our beloved dollar is worth a fraction of what it used to be. If you compare the buying power of that one dollar bill in 1971 versus today, you would be able to buy only EIGHTEEN CENTS, after adjusting for inflation.

Why The Dollar Will Lose Even More Value

The government put its printing presses into turbo drive to counteract the financial crisis that struck last year. The United States monetary base ballooned from $800 billion in August of 2008 to $1.7 trillion as a result. That means that there are now more than two dollars in existence for every one dollar that existed a year ago. Never before in monetary history has the money supply increased at such a sharp rate.

Our federal budget shortfall has now increased to a new record high of $1.42 trillion dollars, thanks to our government's massive spending fling in their endeavor to steady the financial system and jump start the economy.

If that wasn't deplorable in itself, our national debt is at present over $11 trillion dollars. And unfunded liabilities like programs such as Medicare and Social Security stand at an astonishing $58 trillion.

In order to ante up for all of this, the government is either going to have to trim down spending (not likely), increase taxes (very likely) or crank up the printing presses a lot more and attempt to print their way out of this jam. And that deficit is calculated to climb to $9.1 trillion over the next ten years.

The dollar simply cannot maintain it's value when a country participates in the unrestrained printing of money. Inflation will climb higher the more the dollar is debased. It is for this reason that you must own gold. As an insurance policy to ensure the value of your savings is maintained.

Since 1971, the purchasing power of gold has endured and increased. History books are ladened with instances of paper money whose value has been annihilated. But not gold. Gold has endured through wars, inflation, hyperinflation, recession and depression.

Gold bullion is the ultimate store of value and protection of wealth. The value of gold has never been ZERO. Never. It could very well be the most important insurance policy you'll ever purchase.

No Medical Exam Life Insurance: The Instant Insurance by Joseph Benjamin

No medical exam life insurance is a very popular choice in today's "popcorn" world, where things are expected to "pop-up" whenever we want and where we hate to wait on anything. With the times that we live in today, most of us are extremely busy working at different jobs, taking care of our families, and etcetera, but with life insurance like this, we no longer have to spend all day getting a physical (at the doctor's office), and neither will we have to meet up with the local insurance agent.
For those of you who want life insurance right now, without waiting for any underwritten policies, then coverage protection like this can be an immediate blessing to you.
With the life insurance coverage that no medical exam life insurance will give to you, telling the insurance company your medical history will be a thing of the past, and you will also not have to answer a verbal questionnaire nor take a blood pressure test. Also, for those of you who hate giving either blood and/or urine samples, this form of insurance just might be the right pick for you.
The many different reasons why insurance coverage providers will have you go through the processes listed above is because they want to protect themselves, because if you have any health problems that are considered a "risk" to them, they hope that you do not die before you can consistently pay for any coverage. The coverage providers like to "cover their assets", so to speak, so if you are somebody who has serious health illnesses, you will definitely want to check-out life insurance that does not require any physical examination.
No medical exam life insurance providers will give you just a minimal amount of questions, in regards to your health, as well as a few about your background throughout the years. Whenever you receive the approve of the life insurance coverage provider, you will normally receive a call or e-mail from them that will let you know what you will have to pay, should you accept their offer in the first place. After this, you can pay for your protection with a credit card or e-check, which promises you that you will not have to meet anybody from the insurance company.
Always know that you should tell the truth as much as you can, when it comes to the insurer asking you any questions. Coverage providers have a policy that is known as "contestability", which is a 2-year period of time where you cannot give any "material misrepresentation" of your health, lifestyle, and/or driving records can make in-validate your policy, which will hurt you and your beneficiaries. If you choose to lie and not answer those questions honestly, then it's recommended that you not sign-up for insurance such as this.
Another thing you need to know is that when you choose to sign-up for life insurance of this form, the odds of you paying high premiums will go up, since those who typically pay for this coverage usually do not have good health. If your health is considered to be great, however, then I would recommend that you not pick this insurance, since you will have to pay a higher premium, which usually pertains to those who are "at risk", but you are not risky since your health is great.
No Medical Exam Life Insurance should not be a worrisome process, especially with online sites that can give you a quote instantly. As long as you talk to reliable insurance providers, you should not have anything to worry about. Thanks to sites such as Free Life Insurance Quotes Online, all it takes is a few minutes and seconds to find an affordable quote that is pleasing to your wallet/purse!

Life Insurance for Diabetes: What do I do Next? by Joseph Benjamin

Signing-up for life insurance for diabetes coverage is usually a hard task, but it is still worth searching for. Don't worry however, because even though there are many companies that charge an "arm and leg" to diabetics, there are also those who will take it easy on you, to the point of offering you the same rates as a non-diabetic would be offered.
These are the 3 questions that you will be asked, at least by most insurance providers:
1. "When was the last time you had an insulin shock, and did you go into a coma after it"? 2. "Have you had any arms or legs amputated/removed as a result of diabetes"? 3. "What supplements, if any, do you take to manage your diabetic complications"?
For those of you who are actively seeking life insurance for diabetes, those kind-of questions are the ones that insurance companies need to know the answers for. If the answer to each of the three questions is "no", then you are one of the lucky ones who will be given the "first day full benefit" coverage, which also means that you will pay the same premium price that a non-diabetic would pay.
However, unfortunately, you may have to wait for the "full death" option for awhile, because most term life carriers will make you wait for a very long time, since you are looked at as a "risk" to them. The average diabetic patient will not enjoy waiting for the "full death" choice, since they want the type-of coverage that will protect them while they are still alive here on Earth.
Life insurance coverage companies will also ask you a few more questions about your insulin levels, including questions about whether it has caused you any other problems besides diabetes complications.
Normally, if you search for life insurance for diabetes, you will find that most companies who specialize in this field also specialize in life insurance for seniors as well. As the phrase, "life insurance for elders" implies, this is dealing with those who are older than 50 years "young", I mean "old".
For those of you who did not know, Type-1 diabetic patients will find it much harder to find an affordable policy than those who are Type-2 diabetics. Unfortunately, this is because the coverage carriers know that you can suffer from "end organ" diseases at a higher chance than those who have Type-2 diabetes. "End organ" diseases are those that attack the kidneys and liver, and they result from having diabetes for a long number of years. To make things short, you can definitely expect to be looked at as a "risk" to most life insurance providers, and this will make your payments extremely expensive.
Life Insurance for Diabetes doesn't have to be tedious any longer, especially since there are online quotes that can give you everything that you need to know without actually signing-up for an insurance provider. With the creation of internet insurers like Free Life Insurance Quotes Online, everything you need can be given to you within a few clicks of your mouse. In the end, I want you to understand that when you take control of your life (and blood sugar) now, you will not have to worry about paying an expensive premium then, and since you probably like saving money, this is something that you seriously need to be thinking about in the present, and in the future...

The Consequences of Avoiding the IRS by Jeff Parrack

Let's face it: no one likes filing and paying taxes, but it's a necessary evil every year. Unfortunately, sometimes it's hard to come up with the funds to pay the taxes you owe because real life got in the way. This may tempt you to avoid contacting and dealing with the IRS completely, hoping the problem might just go away. It won't go away. If you avoid the IRS you are going to have to be prepared to deal with some very strong repercussions that could affect your credit rating, net worth and family's future.
Receiving a Notice of a Federal Tax Lien
If you are simply late paying your taxes, typically you will be charged penalties and late fees, including interest, until the amount is paid in full. If you fail to work out some kind of payment plan with the IRS, or if you receive a Notice and Demand for Payment and fail to pay the tax debt within 10 days, you'll most likely receive a Notice of Federal Tax Lien.
This type of lien means that the federal government now has a legal claim against your property as payment for your debt, and it cannot be released until you pay your debt in full. After the lien is filed, your creditors will be notified, and your credit report will reflect the amount you owe the government. What many taxpayers don't realize is that this federal lien gives the government claim to all property currently owned as well as property acquired in the future as security for your debt. If the lien is placed against a business, accounts receivable may also have a lien placed against them.
Effects to Your Credit Rating
If you let the situation continue until a federal tax lien is actually filed against you, your credit rating will most likely be negatively impacted. This means your future ability to purchase a home, or car, or anything else requiring credit will be greatly hindered for at least several years.
Releasing a Federal Tax Lien: Additional Charges to You
If you have already had a tax lien filed against you, the best thing to do is act immediately to resolve the problem. The federal government will release your tax lien 30 days after you pay the full amount owed or submit a bond that guarantees the payment of the debt. In addition, you will be required to pay any and all fees associated with releasing the lien. Even after paying your debt, the tax lien will remain on your credit report for up to 10 years, negatively affecting your credit score.
Your Debt: A Matter of Public Record
If you don't want the entire town knowing you business, it's best not to avoid the IRS and any collection efforts. As soon as a Notice of Federal Tax Lien is filed, this is considered a matter of public record and may be viewed by anyone. Sometimes, your local paper may even print this notice in a regular issue where everyone can see. These announcements include the type of lien filed and the amount it is for.
Discharging a Tax Lien
When a tax lien is filed against you and your property, it affects any and all transfers or sales made by you until the lien is satisfied. Selling financial investments or closing accounts may result in being required to use the resulting funds to satisfy your debt to the government. If you decide to sell your home or car, you'll have to either satisfy the debt in order to release the lien, or apply for an official discharge. Potential buyers will view this as a negative aspect to doing business with you, as it can cause delays in the process of transferring the property.
Tax Levies
In addition to filing a lien against you, the IRS may also file a levy against your property and subsequently seize it to satisfy your tax debt. The difference between a lien and a levy is that a levy allows the IRS to take your property outright. This could include your home, car, recreational vehicles and boats, jewelry and other valuables, investment and bank accounts, wages and even the cash value of your life insurance. Often, these are sold at public auction to raise funds and cover your IRS debt.
As you can see, avoiding the IRS and failing to pay your taxes does not make the problem go away. It's always best to try to work with them as soon as possible to prevent any liens or levies that will negatively affect your lifestyle and credit rating for many years to come.

Rising Health Insurance Costs by Adam Kerr

Florida is experiencing huge increases in health insurance costs, but average wage increases are not keeping up. Health insurance premiums in Florida have increased over 98 percent in the past nine years, but average wages have only increased by just over 26 percent. The increases in deductibles, co-payments and other medical costs are setting Floridians back financially.
It is important to protect yourself against the rising cost of health insurance. There are several ways to keep your health costs down. Keep the following in mind and protect yourself:
Compare Health Insurance Plans
Health insurance costs can vary even between very similar plans. You can save up to 50 percent just by comparing similar plans. Check the monthly premiums and the benefits of each plan before choosing your insurance plan.
Choose a Higher Deductible Amount
A higher deductible means a lower monthly premium, which saves you money each month. Don't forget that, in case of an emergency, you must meet the deductible amount before the insurance company will begin coverage.
Learn about COBRA Alternatives
If you have recently become unemployed and are using COBRA continuation coverage, learn about your other options. An individual or family plan may be less expensive, or you may just need a short-term insurance plan.
Save Money with an HSA
Health Savings Accounts (HSA) are tax-free savings accounts designed to help consumers pay for their health insurance. You can use funds in your HSA to pay for certain qualified medical expenses.
Get a Discount Card
Discount cards are not health insurance plans, but they can save you up to 60 percent on prescriptions, dental, vision, and some orthodontia services. You can use the discount card as many times as you need to each year, as long as your medical provider accepts them.
These are all ways in which you can help fight against the rising costs of health care in Florida. Protect yourself and your family and learn about all your money-saving options.

Direct Auto Insurance Can Save You Premiums by Joyce Racette on

One of the best ways to cut down on car insurance premiums is to opt for direct auto insurance rather than buy through an agent or broker. Aside from the actual cost of an insurance policy, car owners are also paying for the commissions given by insurers to their respective agents. Going directly to the insurer eliminates the need for a middleman, which merely drives up costs of auto insurance.
The Internet is the most cost-effective way to compare quotes and coverage from multiple insurers. By going online and getting a direct auto insurance quote, car owners can easily choose which insurer has the right product that suits their needs. Though many of sites are run by insurance brokers, there are also a number of companies that directly provide such online quotes. Direct auto insurance has become more convenient with the advent of online quote platforms. With online quotes, even insurance companies themselves save on costs since there is less need for in-house agents to process and review applications.
Other Ways to Lower car insurance Premiums
Aside from direct auto insurance purchases, car owners can save on auto insurance by negotiating for better rates based on the following factors:
* Driving and payment history. Drivers with no history of traffic violations or reckless driving warrant lower premiums. Also remember that your present insurance rate could increase if you let your insurance lapse for years.
* Age. Younger drivers or those below 25 usually get higher insurance rates since they have less driving experience and are more likely to experience accidents than older or more experienced drivers.
* Car model. Insurance premiums are also determined by the purchase price of the car and costs of maintenance and repair. Moreover, expect higher premiums if your car is among models that are most frequently stolen.
* Location. Rate of vehicular accidents, car theft, lawsuits, car repair, and medical costs in the location of the insurance buyer are also taken into account when calculating premiums.
* Distance traveled per year. Insurers charge higher premiums on cars that travel longer distances annually. Expect lower premiums if your annual mileage is less than 10,000. Lower mileage means a lower of theft and accidents, thus translating to lower premiums.
* Type and amount of coverage. Larger coverage means higher premiums, though discounts may be available to some candidates depending on the number of vehicles to be insured and deductibles.
* Equipping cars with anti-theft devices. Buying anti-theft devices is worth your money as car insurers generally lower premiums in exchange for any precaution that minimizes risk of theft.

Insurance For Your Motorcycle by Jason Furrow

An open road. A beautiful landscape out in front of you. Your gas tank is full and the wind is at your back. This scenario is why millions of people around the world enjoy motorcycles as not only a means of transportation, but as a hobby as well.
The scenario pictured above does not have to be spoiled by the not so fun idea of finding the right coverage for your bike. If anything, it should put your mind at ease knowing that you don't have to worry should your motorcycle or someone's personal property be damaged.
Some insurance companies sell motorcycle specific policies while others offer the coverage as part of your auto policy. You should check your options when shopping for motorcycle insurance. Many insurance providers give discounts for bundling a bike on your current policy. That translates to more money for gas!
The very first thing you should do is get familiar with the laws in your particular state. Most require at least liability, but there is some difference between what certain states require to be within the law when it comes to motorcycles. You can find information about your state by contacting your state's department of insurance.
Types of Motorcycle Coverage
Even though you may be familiar with the following terms, we'll take another look to make sure that you are familiar with the various types of coverage. They are similar to the terms you go over with auto insurance policies.
Liability
Liability will cover bodily injury and any damage to someone else's property. You will be left with the financial burden of your own injuries and damage to your property if this is the only coverage you have.
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist
If you are involved in an accident and the other party involved does not have insurance, or does not have enough, this coverage will protect you from medical bills, lost wages, and sometimes property damages.
Collision
Collision coverage will cover damage to your ride if you wreck your bike. Most insurance companies will cover the book value of your bike. You just have to choose the deductible you are comfortable with.
Comprehensive
This type of coverage will pay for the loss or damage of your motorcycle due to many factors beyond your control. Once again, you will be paid the book value and you must choose a deductible that you are comfortable with.
Factors That May Affect Your Rates
Type of Motorcycle
A sport bike will likely cost you more to insure than a cruiser. A sport bike is considered more risky to insure because of the high performance. Your inusurer will take a look at the engine size when determining your rates.
Intended Use
If you are lucky enough to live where you can and plan on using your motorcycle as your daily driver year round, be ready for a higher premium. Many insurers will cut your rates if you agree not to ride during the winter months.
Storage
If you plan on leaving the bike out in the elements or just throwing a tarp over it, be prepared to pay a higher premium. It will be cheaper on your insurance rates to have it stored indoors in a garage or storage facility.
Last But Not Least, Your Driving Record
Just like your auto insurance policy, you will have to pay a higher premium if you have violations and/or accidents on your record. Keep a clean record and you will be rewarded with lower rates. There are sometimes discounts available for completing safe riding courses.

Auto Insurance- Your Individual Risk Assessment and Choosing the Correct Deductible for Your Auto In by Jay Leo

Choosing the right auto insurance deductibles for you is an important decision. If you choose a higher deductible, you will most likely have a cheaper premium associated with your policy since you will be paying more out of your pocket in case of an accident.
If you choose to have a lower deductible, your insurance premium will most likely be higher since you will be paying less out of your pocket in the case of an accident.
If you seem to be accident prone, and have a history of multiple accidents on your driving record, considering a lower deductible might be the right choice for you since you won't have to pay as much at the time of the accident. Keep in mind that you will pay higher premiums but this will usually even out to say you money if a serious accident occurs. If you only drive occasionally and have an impeccable driving record, a higher deductible is probably the right choice for you.
If you believe that the instance of an accident is highly unlikely, paying less on your premium will save you a lot in the long run. In the unfortunate circumstance that an accident does occur, you will be required to pay the higher amount out of your pocket.
When deciding which way is the right way for you and your family to go, looking over your auto insurance policy history can help. Over the last couple of years, how big has your deductible been? Have you filed any claims? If you haven't filed any claims against your policy, the chance of an accident occurring with the outcome being of your fault, is less and a higher deductible can be the right choice for your family.
If after looking at your policy history, you notice that claims have been filed and you have been at fault, a lower deductible is the way for your family to go. It all comes down to risk. Anything can happen in the future and none of us can say what that will be.
Researching what your premium will be with a few different companies based on different deductible amounts can help you to make the right decision in which company is the right fit for you and your family. Performing this step and considering your individual risk level can help you save money on your insurance policies and let you apply that money to much more needed areas of your life.

Making California Medical Insurance Choices by Tom Carolan

California has a wide variety of medical insurance options to offer. While many people blindly accept the medical insurance coverage offered them through their employment, many others do not have this option. Luckily there are numerous companies out there that specialize in providing individual medical insurance plans. Some of the same companies that do group plans also offer individual options too. If you are without medical insurance coverage in the state of California, you can rest assured that there are lots of options out there for you. You just need to know how to choose the best one for you.
You need to take various things into consideration when looking at your medical insurance options. The most important thing to consider is your own health and how often you actually use the healthcare system. If you are healthy and almost never need to go to the doctor, you will want to look into individual medical insurance options because you will often find that they are more tailored to your needs and can even be less expensive than group plans. However, if you are one of the unlucky individuals who has chronic illness, is often ill or is suffering from a disease currently, you best option will be group health insurance. If you fall into this category, chances are you may not even be insurable on your own, therefore seize the opportunity for group coverage. Even if you could get individual coverage, chances are the premiums would be simply too high because of the risk you present to the insurer.
The region you reside in will also impact the choices you get when it comes to California medical insurance. If you live in Southern California and there are HMO facilities nearby like Kaiser-Permanente, you will have that option as well as PPO and POS plans. However if you live in any other part of the state where HMOs are not offered, your choice will be more limited.
Your personal preferences play a big role in the medical care choices you make. You may prefer to have a major amount of control over whom you see and where you are treated in terms of healthcare. If so, you will want to opt for a PPO. However if you'd rather let a primary care doctor control every aspect of your healthcare, a HMO is the way to go. Alternatively a POS or Point of Service plan is a good mix of each of these plans giving you more options and control while a primary care doctor oversees your care.
Everywhere you turn as you seek to make the right choice for your own California medical insurance you will be faced with different things to consider. If you opt to go with an individual plan, you will do best if you tailor it to your anticipated use of it. This also allows you to help it fit better into your budget. Raise deductibles and out-of-pocket limits in order to lower your premium. You can also keep the cost down by increasing the portion of the co-insurance rate that you are responsible for.
Look carefully at the myriad of things to consider before making your final decision on your California medical insurance. There is a plan out there for just about everyone.

Various vehicle insurances for your benefits by Jessica Thomson

These days the medical Facilities and Motor Repairing facilities are very expensive and out of reach for the common person. There are various insurances available, which are highly beneficial, and a necessity these days. A responsible driver, regardless of the vehicle he or she is driving, not only ensures safety while driving and obey the traffic laws, but also avails the best suited insurance for him or her. Accidents are unpredictable mishaps that can happen anywhere and anytime. In addition, when your vehicle is badly damaged it not just burns a big hole in your pocket, but also causes inconvenience and loss if it was for commercial use.
Two wheelers are mostly more prone to accidents than any other vehicles, as they are open from all sides and provide little protection to the driver while the occurrence of an accident. This is the major reason why a motorist should opt for Motor bike insurance, as driving a motorbike fast gives an adrenaline rush to the motorist and thus most motorists drive them fast. In an insurance for a motorbike, the motorists has to pay a specific amount of premium to the insurance company, so that the company covers all or certain expenses if an accident takes place. If you avail insurance then the insurance company is bound to pay the full or specific amount of the losses incurred by you pertaining to the damages done to the motor bike. However, when going in for insurance research and gain all the necessary knowledge about the types of insurances available. Many people are shocked to find after an accident that there were clauses in there insurance under which many types of accident under some specific situations are not covered. In addition, as bikes are risky many insurance companies are not willing to insure them.
Vans are usually used for commercial purposes like transportation. When met with accident, vans are unavailable for use for few days. This absence of vans from work causes a huge loss to the owner or the company per day. Van drivers insurance not only insures the coverage of damages incurred to the vehicle when met with accident, but also insures smooth running of the business and no losses. It goes for the Mini Bus drivers insurance and the Taxi drivers insurance, which are used for commercial proposes like transportation and commuting.
Courier business is one of the most flourishing businesses today. They provide the service of transporting and delivering important papers, messages or nay tangible goods on time. This requires use of various vehicles for transportation like aircrafts, two wheelers, cars, vans and mini buses. Couriers insurance is specially designed to cover and protect the couriers that are in the process of being transit.

Columbus Auto Insurance for Antique Cars by furniture.cheswys

In the following article directed towards people looking for Columbus auto insurance, I would like to take the time to tell you about antique auto insurance. As you may already know antique auto insurance is totally different from regular insurance that you get on your automobile so you need to make sure that you know the difference between antique auto insurance and regular Columbus auto insurance.
The first thing that you need to take into consideration is that most of the antique auto insurance policies are not going to allow the vehicle that you are insuring to be used for no more than twenty five hundred miles in an individual year. It is also known that the antique auto insurance companies are known for accounting for inflation because of the fact that they increase the actual value by two percent every quarter. One thing that will make your search go a whole lot easier is that there are many different companies that are known to specialize in antique car insurance.
When you are considering antique Columbus auto insurance make sure that you remember that the car that you are going to cover with this type of insurance needs to be more than twenty five years old or even older in order to be considered a vantage car. The car has to be fifteen years or older to be considered a classic and this car will still qualify for the insurance as well. There are also newer cars that are out there on the market that are so rare that they can even qualify for this insurance as well. You will actually need to take the time to check with the actual insurer so that you know if the car that you are interested in insuring qualifies.
If you are looking around for a columbus auto insurance company specializing in antique vehicles, you should know that the best way to learn about them is by word of mouth. Another thing that you should take into consideration is that most of the antique insurance companies are going to offer you full coverage which would include general liability as well as collision and comprehensive which covers fire, theft and flood as well as other natural disasters. However, being able to arrive at a suitable value when it comes to insurance as well as antiques will be a critical factor so you are going to need to make sure that you get the right value listed for your car.

Best Home Based Data Entry Jobs For Top Money Top by Alan Lim

Working from home makes a lot of sense if you have the ability to be a self starter. Home based data entry jobs are perfect for a full time job or a supplemental income.
Home based data entry jobs reflect the best way to earn extra income or to become your major income producing mechanism. Since you can spend time working rather than preparing for work or driving to work, you have more productive work hours in each day. In finding the best data entry jobs for home based workers, you should stick with legitimate companies who have a need for true work. Avoid companies that pretend to pay for data entry, but are in actuality a scam or multi level marketing scheme. So long as you choose work that you can complete in a professional manner and meet the necessary deadlines set by a legitimate company, you will find data entry work is a good way to make top money.
Why Work At Home?
Why should you work at home? There are many good reasons, but not all of them may apply to you. If you hate working with a boss looking over your shoulder, you might be a good candidate for home based data entry jobs. If you want to spend more time working and less time getting to work, look for a home based work environment. If you like the idea of choosing your own work schedule, home data entry jobs are a perfect option.
Who Should You Work For?
When you accept home based data entry jobs, you naturally want to work for the best possible companies. The things you should be looking for in an employer are their professional reputation for honesty and fair dealings with clients and employees. You can check company reputations through organizations such as the Better Business Bureau or one of the forums where consumers can post complaints publicly. It helps if the company has the expertise to understand how to run a home worker program effectively.
Why Do Companies Outsource?
Many companies today are outsourcing all types of work for cost savings. When the company commissions home based data entry jobs, there is no need to build or rent large office complexes to house the clerical staff that would normally perform data entry tasks. The company doesn't have to purchase large numbers of work stations and office furniture. The company is able to save money on health care insurance costs and pension plan funding. Because of the cost savings, the company may actually be able to pay outsourced workers more per project while still saving money on the bottom line.
How Do You Get Paid?
Companies pay for home based data entry jobs in different ways, depending upon where you work and live as well as where the company is located. Many companies prepare a paper check and mail it out to the workers based on work completed during the previous pay period. More commonly, companies are using electronic means to transfer money in payment for services rendered. Direct deposit to a checking or savings account means you don't have to go through the process of cashing a check and waiting for it to clear.

Filing Your Car Accident Insurance Claim by Kamille Pagibigan

After being involved in a car accident, one of the first things you should do is to deal with insurance companies. This might be quite difficult, considering your condition and all the matters involved. In such situations, the advice from experienced car accident lawyers will be of very much help.
Filing a car accident insurance claim after a traffic accident and dealing with adjusters can be complicated. To aid you, here are some tips on what you should and should not do in regards with insurance claims:
* After the accident, contact your insurance company as soon as possible. Your insurance agent should be the first one to contact in case of an injury or accident after you have sought medical assistance, if necessary.
* Thoroughly read and understand your insurance policy to aid you in determining the coverage of your policy so that you can make the necessary claims.
* Get all the possible information about the accident that you can gather. Such details include the names, addresses, and contact numbers of those people who were involved in the incident as well as the witnesses', if there are any. In addition, you should also take some photos of the damages and the injuries that you have sustained.
* Write down notes about the insurance details of other persons who were involved in the car accident.
* Keep a written report of any conversations and dealings with insurance adjusters, officers, and any other individuals who are involved in the claims process.
* Save all the receipts and bills for all the expenses that are related to your insurance claim. These might include bills for all the repair work done on the damaged car and the medical expenses for the treatment of your injuries that resulted from the accident which are covered by the insurance policy.
* Be honest with the insurance investigators as any claim can be denied for fraudulent reasons. Because of this, it is vital to tell the facts.
* Check if there is more than one insurance policy you have that covers for a particular accident or injury. If you do have more than one, review all these policies and you may possibly be able to file insurance claims that are valid.
* Simply state the facts. Do not admit in any way that you are legally responsible for the accident as it is the job of insurance investigators to gather all the necessary facts and evidences to determine who is liable.
* Immediately file your insurance claim as soon as possible. All insurance companies require a particular span of time after the car accident or injury in which you can file your insurance claim. Your claim might not be regarded as valid if you filed it after the time limit has run out.
* If you do not fully understand your insurance claim or policy, do not give anything that is in writing to insurance officers.
These tips might be of much use to you in filing your insurance claims. However, it is still very important to consult with competent car accident lawyers for legal assistance. An expert can enlighten you on your case and will help you with your legal concerns.
If you have difficulty filing an insurance claim, seek legal assistance from our car accident lawyers. Log on to our website and dial our toll-free number to learn more about your rights.

What Does Health Insurance Cost by Graham McKenzie

The cost of health care is on the rise and inadequate health insurance can create an expense that can be devastating if you are suddenly injured or become ill. Everyone should be able to afford health care and regular checkups could save your life. Without health insurance many people will go undiagnosed and many treatable conditions can become fatal while left untreated. The cost of health insurance is a huge concern for many people, they fear they cannot afford it and they know they cannot afford to not have it.
Only a few people are lucky to get health insurance from their employer which has a great coverage plan at nominal group rate. From them the company plan would take coverage the amount if met with injuries or accidents.
It's a different story for those who aren't insured through their job and have to sort out the various options offered by private health insurance companies. But there are good plans available at a reasonable price.
The price of your health insurance policy will depend on your age, health condition, and your lifestyle and risk factors. A young person in perfect health who doesn't engage in risky activities will pay less, while someone who is older, with pre-existing health conditions or takes part in dangerous activities like smoking, sky-diving or mountain climbing will pay more.
The plan and type of coverage are the two factors what actually determines the rate of premium. The health insurance company offer different plans or you can also customize your plans. You need to look for plans which offers affordable premium and also offer the right amount of coverage. In not, you would be stressed with expensive bills at a condition where your condition is so week.
You can select your type of plan. You may select an HMO which is cheaper but you will be confined to a list of doctors that are within the network. You can opt for out of network coverage but you will be paying higher deductibles as higher premiums. Prescription coverage is offered as well as optical and dental all at additional costs. You might even want to include mental wellness coverage for counseling, therapy or hospitalization.
In case if you are confused on how to choose a plan, you can consult with some specialist to choose a right plan for you. Ask him to explain the plan and if you had any questions just clarify with him. You need to be very clear with what does that plan tell, how much the premium is and what coverage the plan offers. Make sure that everything is fine because you need not worry if incase you need to undergo any medical treatment in future as the hospital would demand the exact amount from you to start the treatment.

TMJ Solution - An Effective New Treatment by Candy Lim

Bruxism is a disorder of unconscious jaw clenching and teeth grinding that causes pain in the temporo-mandibular joint, a sensation of soreness and tension in the jaw as well as headaches, neck pain and even migraines. Over the years, continuous grinding wears down the teeth and can even cause cracking and severe tooth damage. Bruxism to some degree, especially at night, is very common. As long as there are no symptoms of pain or dental damage, it does not necessarily require treatment. However, once a person feels pain, he/she usually seeks a treatment for Bruxism.
Bruxism can be exacerbated by a variety of factors. Malocclusion (poor fitting together of the teeth), stress, anxiety, certain medications such as SSRI antidepressants and certain diseases such as Huntigton's and Parkinson's can all worsen Bruxism. Use of drugs like methamphetamine and cocaine, as well as overuse of caffeine and alcohol will frequently cause people to brux.
Treatment of Bruxism has been plagued with difficulties. Dental devices have been successful in protecting teeth from damage at night, but have not been effective at stopping the pain and soreness that accompanies severe Bruxism. Of course, the clenching and headaches do not subside with dental devices. Biofeedback, relaxation exercises and meditation have been variably effective in controlling stress with some people, but most do not find the relief that they are looking for in behavioral modification techniques like these.
Botulinum toxin (BOTOX®) has recently been seen to be very successful in treating the grinding and clenching of bruxism. BOTOX® is an injectable medication that weakens muscles and is used commonly in cosmetic procedures to relax the muscles of the face and decrease the appearance of wrinkles. BOTOX® was not originally developed for cosmetic use, however. It was, and continues to be, used to treat diseases of muscle spasticity such as blepharospasm (eyelid spasm), strabismus (crossed eyes) and torticollis (wry neck). Bruxism can also be regarded as a disorder of repetitive, unconscious contraction of the masseter muscle (the large muscle that moves the jaw). BOTOX® works very well to weaken the muscle enough to stop the grinding and clenching, but not so much as to interfere with chewing or facial expressions. The strength of BOTOX® is that the medication goes into the muscle, weakens it and does not get absorbed into the body. Side effects and allergies are unheard of. Despite the occasional brouhaha in the media, BOTOX® has been shown to be one of the safest medications ever seen. Over the last 20 years and 20 million treatments, there has never been a serious complication directly attributed to the drug. This is a safety record that puts Aspirin to shame.
The treatment of Bruxism with BOTOX® involves about five or six simple, relatively painless injections into the masseter muscle. It takes a few minutes per side and the patient starts feeling the effects the next day. Occasionally, some bruising can occur, but this is quite rare. The symptoms that are relieved by this procedure include:
Grinding and clenching Morning jaw soreness TMJ pain Muscle tension throughout the day Migraines triggered by clenching Neck pain and stiffness triggered by clenching
The optimal dose of BOTOX® has to be worked out for each person - some people have stronger muscles that need more BOTOX®. This is done over a few touch up visits with the physician injector. This treatment is expensive, but sometimes BOTOX® treatment of Bruxism can be billed to medical insurance (plans vary - it is a good idea to call your insurer beforehand to find out what is covered and what documentation is necessary). The effects last for 3 months or so. The muscles do atrophy, however, so after a few rounds of treatment it is usually possible to either decrease the dose or increase the interval between treatments.

Cover all the expenditure of health insurance with Medigap by William Richards

It is known to us that Medicare Supplements plans or Medigap polices are sold to the consumers by the private organizations or companies. These types of insurance polices are totally part of private companies. But tall the schemes are created only to pay off the exceeding expenditure that your Original policy fails to cover so it cab said that these plans have close proximity with the Original Medicare plans. And it can also be said that these policies are not independent policies. So the bottom line is a person has to enroll his name at first for an Original Medicare Plans and after then only he can be under the Medicare Supplement Plans or Medigap Plans. However, the point to be mentioned is that the Medicare Supplement Plans are specially meant for bridging the gap between the policy coverage of the original Medicare plan and the actual medical cost payable by the beneficiary. This is a good reason why these plans are also known as the Medigap policies.
However, the Medicare Supplement Plans are totally administered and sold by the private health insurance companies and there are twelve standard Medigap plans available. There are a lot of medical costs that are covered by the Original Medicare plans. Rather to say almost all of the medical costs are covered by the original Medicare plans but still there remain some costs that the Original Medicare does not cover therefore in such situations there is the need for the Medicare Supplement Plans. It helps the beneficiary to pay for those costs are not been included under the policy coverage of the original Medicare plans. These plans range under the letter covers A through L and each of them have their own policy coverage. But all of these provide the basic benefits of plan A and B. The plans A and B are known as the basic plans as these plans provide benefits similar to the Original Medicare.
Now the Medigap policies are mostly under the administration of the private insurance companies the government have not much of hold on them. But the insurance companies are also allowed to sell only 12 standardized Medigap plans ranging from A through L. And according to the law, whatever company may sell the Medigap insurance the policies under the same letter cover should provide the same benefits. This means that if you buy a Medigap insurance plan under plan C, the company you are purchasing it is bound to provide the same benefits and coverage as provided by the other companies. But the amount of policy premium may differ from company to company. Each policy under the different letter covers has a different set of benefits. As for example starting from 2006, the Medigap Plans H, I, J, cannot be sold with prescription-drug benefit, although people who already had those policies prior to the date can keep them. All the twelve Medigap policies cover the basic benefits, but each one has some additional benefits along with them. In brief it can be said that the Plan A is the most basic plan.

Direct Auto Insurance by Greg Secrist

Auto insurance can cost you a fortune or it can be very affordable, but what makes the difference? Which insurance provider offers the cheapest rates? Do some companies allow you to finance your premium so that your monthly payments can be lowered? This is your direct auto insurance guide where we will walk you through how you can save thousands a year on your auto insurance.
There are definitely some tricks of the trade and factors that will help you get the most coverage available for the lowest premium out there. Premiums are usually priced in 6 month increments or even sometimes 12 month increments.
An insurance company pulls your insurance score. This is different than your credit score. Just like a credit score, however; the less you get pulled over and the lesser amount of tickets will help you have a higher score. The higher score you have on insurance will result in better insurance rates which will yield you a lower premium. What people don't realize is that insurance companies are just like any other financial company, they deal with risk and depending on the risk level, it will directly affect your premium cost and insurance rates. Depending on your history, some products may not even be offered to you even if the insurance company offers them.
Tips to lower insurance premiums:
Too many people over insure their cars. If you own an old car that is completely paid off, just make sure you have a policy that will cover the car of an individual if you caused a crash so that their car could be paid for. Don't make the mistake of getting comprehensive insurance on a car that is worth less than $3,000 dollars. A high deductible may sound lame, but it will drastically lower your premium amount. If an insurance company knows that you are willing to put down some money if you get in an accident, they will consider you a lesser risk than someone that has a very small deductible. Many insurance companies offer discounted premiums when you first sign up with them for the first 6 months. It may sound silly, but changing insurance agents every year will keep your premiums low as you will be utilizing these discounted premium rates.

Raising Credit Score - How the System Works by Bevolyn Nelson

Credit plays such a big role in managing the finances of families and individuals that many books have been devoted to the subject of raising credit score. Because of this central role of credit buying and financing, a good credit rating is a major asset to the modern family or individual. On the other hand a low credit score is something to be avoided like the plague since a low score not only affects your present buying position but also impacts your future credit worthiness. Credit score even affects the price you pay for services now such as auto insurance and others. So what are some of the causes of a low credit score to be avoided?
Causes of low credit score
1. Spending in excess of your income will certainly put a strain on your ability to meet credit obligations and creditors will see this as a red flag warning of a high risk. This can hinder your getting that loan approved.
2. Sometimes adversity befalls us in life resulting in an unusual drain on our finances. Such things as major medical expenses, prolonged unemployment and other setbacks may cast a dark cloud over your credit situation.
3. Failing to make installment payments at the agreed time and in the agreed amount can also lower your credit score. But even if your score has taken a dive rest assured that recovery is possible and you can raise your credit to a high rating once again. But how can you improve your credit score?
Improving credit score
Raising credit score can take a little time but is well worth the effort. Here are some suggestions: 1. Get a copy of your credit report from each of the three major credit bureaus. Examine each closely to spot any errors such as any creditors listed that you do not recognize? Any accounts which you have paid off but which still appear as unpaid etc.
2. Report all errors to the credit bureau in question and request that a correction be made. In the U.S. they have 30 days in which to verify the debt as valid or else they must remove it from your report.
3. Compile a budget showing all your expenditures for the month. Also show all your income from all sources. Then calculate the totals and note whether your income is adequate for your expenses. Also identify debts that have adversely affected your credit score and consider ways to pay off these problem debts.
4. Contact your creditors and enlist their aid in paying off these debts as quickly as possible. In certain cases your creditor may be willing to lower the interest on your loan to help in liquidating the balance.
5. Credit counseling services can sometimes provide effective aid in negotiating with creditors, lowering interest rates in some cases and lowering payments to a more manageable amount.
6. Once an arrangement has been setup with your creditors, be determined to adhere to it. This will help in your restoring your good credit rating.
7. Maintain good communication with your creditors especially when you are experiencing financial difficulty. If you anticipate missing a payment work this out beforehand with the creditor and avoid adversely affecting your credit score.
While recognizing the major role played by credit in the complex world economy, it is the course of wisdom to manage well your asset of a good credit score and you can raise this important score by following the suggestions discussed in the comments above.

A Little About The History Of Blue Cross Blue Shield by Art Gib

Did you know that Blue Cross Blue Shield is the largest provider of health insurance coverage in America? In fact, the company brand insures approximately 1 in every 3 Americans which adds up to over 100 million people! The history of the company stretches back 80 years and since then BCBS has been a respected member of the health care community that continues to grow and provide insurance help for more and more people each and every day. Here's a little bit about the history of Blue Cross Blue Shield.
Its Beginnings
Lifelong educator and lawyer Justin Ford Kimball was vice president of Baylor's colleges of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry as well as its hospital in Dallas when he noticed that Baylor Hospital had many unpaid bills, many of which were owed by school teachers who could not afford to pay them. Motivated not only by the loss of income, but also by his sympathy for teachers, Kimball developed a pre-paid hospital plan that would eventually form the beginnings of Blue Cross Blue Shield. This prepayment plan was a huge success since teachers could more easily save a little money each month to cover future possible hospitalization rather than pay for it in one big chunk later.
The success of the Texas plan soon caught on, and within ten years of its inception, the program boasted an enrollment of 1 million. Health care coverage soon included maternity, and in 1933 the first "Blue Cross" baby was born in North Carolina. Amazingly, the cost of delivering the baby as well as the mother's 10 day hospital stay totaled a mere $60! The Blue Cross symbol itself was commissioned in 1934 as an advertising gimmick meant to increase brand recognition, and it has remained with the company ever since. The Blue Shield was added five years later.
It was during the war years in the 1940's that companies began to offer health benefits as part of an overall compensation package for employees. However, BCBS offered not only group plans through businesses, but continued to offer great rates and coverage to individuals much as it still does today.
By the mid 1950's, thanks in large measure to the popularity of employer-based health benefits, the percentage of Americans covered under health insurance stood at 70%, up a full 60 percentage points from the previous decade.
By the year 2000, it was Blue Cross that processed the majority of Medicare claims, and its membership stood at 88 million: more than any other insurer in the country. BCBS continues to fill America's health care needs, even in difficult times, by providing a wide array of products at the lowest possible prices.

Pet Health Insurance by Dr. Jack Stevens, DMV

According to the American Pet Product Manufacturers Association (APPMA) 2007-2008 National Pet Owners Survey, there are approximately 74.8 million owned dogs and roughly 88.3 million owned cats in the United States. We love our pets! They are full-fledged, four-legged family members to many of us; often times, they are the closest "family" we have! So shouldn't we take care of them as we do any other family member, or ourselves? Proper nutrition, exercise and, of course, insurance - pet insurance.
Pet health insurance has been available for nearly 20 years, and is now accessible in all 50 states and many countries outside the United States. Pet health insurance can help pay for routine preventive treatments - like vaccinations and dental cleanings, as well as unplanned or emergency care. After all, our beloved pets are naturally active, curious and often times "risk-takers", which can, unfortunately, result in injury or illness.
Just like people, our pets get sick. In fact, every year approximately 6 million dogs and cats are diagnosed with cancer in the United States, according to the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine. Fortunately, there are an increasing number of treatment options available in veterinary medicine (including radiation and chemotherapy) to treat our pets. However, as veterinary medicine and technology advance, so does the expense. Veterinary costs have more than doubled in the past decade, and veterinary medicine is one of the few medical professions that is not financially based on insurance. Rather, pet owners are responsible for all veterinary costs, from preventive, to emergency and ongoing care.
This is why veterinary pet insurance is so important. When our pets are sick, we feel stressed and worried enough without the additional burden of wondering how we are going afford our pet's care.
Pet health insurance is available and affordable, and it can bring peace of mind to those who love their "furry family!"

An untreated panic disorder can doubtless lead to drug use, depression and, in rare cases, even suicide.Panic disorders can develop in the teenage years or early adulthood. A panic episode isn't threatening, but it can be scary, principally as it creates a feeling of being 'out of control' on the part of the individual that suffers from it. Only an authorized specialist can diagnose a panic disorder. Occasional bouts with worry and moderate levels of foreboding are still considered standard. Most insurance plans and health management setups ( HMOs ) provide coverage that includes treatment for agitation disorders.To make treatment better, folk with panic disorders are advised to join a support group or endure sessions with a psychiatrist.Even something extremely simple as speaking to a trustworthy mate, a friend, or a church counsel can do wonders.

Can You Go Without Dog Insurance? by Tom Houser

People say that no other pet in this world could ever replace the dog for man's best friend. For some, they even substitute dogs for their companion, rely on their pets on their daily activities, or would rather be with their dog than with their friends. Probably the best thing that an owner could give his pet is dog insurance because it helps ensure that no matter what will happen, your dog would have the best treatment it could have.In addition, it is best that in times of serious illness you can rely on a plan that would pay for all the bills and veterinary expenses than just cross the bridge when you get there. Don't you think it would be frustrating if your dog's bills were higher than yours were? So it is better that you would be prepared for unexpected circumstances and situations that might come up.From the time that it was available in the 1982, many pet owners love the idea of having dog insurance because it saves them from the worries of being unable to protect their beloved pets from many diseases and illnesses especially now that there are many pandemic diseases that affect both human and animals. In addition, such program would eventually save them from costly hospitals bills once their dog is admitted to the hospital by just paying a fixed monthly amount. Therefore, no matter what will happen, wherever you may go with your pet, you have the assurance that you can give it the best medical coverage it can get.Dog insurance works similar to most insurance that human enjoys. If you have a Blue Cross insurance for yourself or your family, you can also get one for your pet and enjoy discounts on grooming products, pet HMO, discount clubs and veterinarian services for just a fixed annual fee. Be sure to check on their terms and conditions before you get your pet once. Generally, dog insurance is very helpful in cases of catastrophic accident and severe illnesses without draining the owners financially.

Investing in the Housing Market Can Bring Large Returns with Proper Planning by Guy Morris

As with any smart investment, proper planning is the key to a successful property flip. Successful flipping is the process of buying property, renovating or updating and then quickly selling that piece of property for a profit.
The idea is to buy the property for the lowest price, spend the least money on the renovations to make the most impact on the selling price and then sell the property at the highest possible price for the largest profit margins. There are many costs involved in the process, but smart choices and advanced planning can make a huge difference.
Many considerations go into finding the right property to flip. Location and price are the first most important factors. You want to find a house that is in an appropriate neighborhood that you will be able to update it and sell it. Look for the cheapest or most in need property in the nicest neighborhood you can afford, then make sure you can afford the fees, insurance and renovation costs for this property and that the return will be worth it. Once these benchmarks have been established, move forward - to the next set of steps.
Once you've found your diamond in the rough, find a good inspector. An inspector can professionally determine what possibly hidden needs the property may have and also what the appropriate price for the property should be based on these repairs. This way, you may be able to reduce your purchase price. An independent appraisal will be also able to help you not only determine the value of the property you are interested in, but also the comparable properties in the neighborhood. Just be certain you account for the money you are spending up front here, and add this to the total of your investment.
After you have reached an acceptable price based on your inspection, appraisal and the seller has agreed, it is time to purchase the property. Again, closing costs on a mortgage must be accounted for here and a set time should be established for the renovations to take place, so that a specific number of mortgage payments are known ahead of time and planned for accordingly. This is just like any other kind of investing, remember, so the less money you put into paying for the house to stand empty, the more money you will make in profit upon resale.
At this point you begin to depend more on others, so finding reputable, competent and fast moving contractors and subcontractors will make the biggest difference for you at this point. Specific guidelines should be set for the time frame and quality of work to be performed and a contract with diminishing returns on late work may protect an investor from a disappearing contractor.
