I’m firing Citibank. They just aren’t a great deal anymore for my money. I’m looking at Washington Mutual instead, and some of the other internet savings accounts as well. Much better deals to be had. It’s your money, after all, and the banks make money off it just by virtue of having it. It hardly seems right that they would nickel and dime you to death with fees on top of it. I poked around the net, and settled on Wilmington Trust Online Banking as the best option out there. They pay great rates, and don’t charge those ridiculous fees. Who cares if the big banks have more ATMs when they will refund your ATM fees from any other Bank? Now I can use any ATM in town. If you’re not earning a good return, you might want to check them out as well. Maybe your comments will help settle it.
I’ve recently become interested in Selling Structured Settlements. Structured settlements can provide a nice source of long-term income, but some people prefer a lump-sum payout.
Trying to find unbiased information on
Certified Structured Settlement Consultants online has been tough. Most folks offering info on the subject have an ulterior motive of some sort or another.
I’m hoping I’ll be able to get enough information to make an informed choice.
I’m sure I’ll have more to say about this down the line.
I’ve been noticing a new crop of companies focusing on Structured Settlement Sales these kinds of services can provide value for people who need a lump-sum of cash right away, but folks should read the fine print carefully.
I’ve been trying to learn more about
how to Purchase Structured Settlements, but the trouble is that it’s hard to find unbiased information. Most folks offering information are buyers or brokers, who obviously have their own agenda.
Hopefully I’ll be able to make the right choice when the time comes, but right now I’m frustrated.
I’m sure I’ll have more to say about this down the line.
I had thought about opening an offshore account for quite a few months but I just did not know how to go about it until I spoke to a friend and she told me that I should look at the possibility off offshore internet banking, since this would enable me to control the account from anywhere where I had access to a computer. I decided to open an account with a bank that gave me this facility and I’m really glad I did and I have never regretted my decision.
I think it’s high time I looked into
International Banks. It’s a prudent move to diversify into currencies from other countries, especially with the Fed’s relentless inflationary policy.
In particular, I need to know more about International Bank Transfer services if I’m going to protect my wealth from the Fed’s thievery.
You can’t bee too careful in protecting yourself from the incompetence of the Fed. Time to spread out to other currencies.
Until next time.
Learned today that my employer offers
SEP IRA Plans instead of 401ks. I know nothing about them. Time to do some research.
In particular, I need to know more about Sep Accounts. There’s some decent stuff on the net about it, but it’s hard to stay focused on it. This stuff is just so dry and dull.
Hopefully I’ll be able to set things up and just let them coast after that. I don’t like micro-managing financial stuff.
%HEADER%
What with the Fed continuing to inflate the currency at a breakneck pace, it makes sense to be researching
International Online Banking options.
An overseas account seems like the best way to hedge against serious financial troubles here at home.
Ok - that’s it for today.
You know, I’m sick and tired of getting a lousy rate on my savings. I’ve decided to check out internet savings accounts. It’s plain to me that most of the options there are a much better deal than I’ve been getting. I mean after all, it’s my money, and I’m lending it to them. They should pay for the privilege. And why should I have to pay fees to them? It’s not like I get to charge them fees when I borrow money from them. I poked around the net, and settled on Wilmington Trust Direct as the best option out there. They pay great rates, and don’t charge those ridiculous fees. I know some people have issues with not being able to meet their bankers in person, but honestly I don’t really care about that. In fact, I think most people would be better off switching to an online bank.
Is a structured settlement sale a good investment decision? That’s perhaps the most frequent question that beneficiaries ask. Stats reveal that in about 90% of the cases,selling structured settlements is a bad move. According to my experience, selling a structured settlement for cold cash should be your last resort and only use it if you are in deep financial troubles and have absolutely no other options. This is due to the fact that any structured settlement sale causes a loss for the person who is selling and it’s often possible to lose up to half of the long-term value of the structured settlement.
I have been using budget software for two months now and it is absolutely amazing how much more confidence and awareness I have in my own finances. Initially I thought it would be hard to make a record of every little expenditure, but it has turned out to be much easier than what I anticipated. Quite frankly, I am actually enjoying it, putting a label to things and planning ahead. It’s really useful to know you are being serious about budgeting and you see where your money is going, and you start making it go where want you actually need it, instead of just waste it mindlessly away.
