You’ve probably seen the many commercials on television where actors plug reverse mortgages. They talk generally about the benefits of this financial product, but fail to tell viewers exactly what a reverse mortgage is.
Reverse mortgages are a way to get money out of your home through a contract with a lender who provides cash or a line of credit in return for interest and initial fees. These products can be structured as short-term loans that let borrowers get money as a lump sum, draw it down gradually over time through the line of credit or receive a payment based on the borrower’s life expectancy. Reverse mortgages don’t have to be as great as the equity you have in your home; borrowers can get a smaller amount.
Consumers of these loans are typically older people who need cash to pay living expenses in retirement but have substantial equity in their homes. Advertisements for reverse mortgages have become more commonplace since the market meltdown of 2008-09 sliced into the retirement resources of millions of Americans.
Many people who take out these loans have not saved enough to meet all their expenses in retirement or have had unforeseen expenses or market losses that have depleted their savings. Yet they don’t want to sell their homes. Some see reverse mortgages as a way to solve their cash problems and also stay in their homes. Yet, compared with other types of loans that use homes as collateral, some reverse mortgages can be costly because of interest rates charged and various up-front fees.
Many of these loans don’t require repayment as long as occupants are still living in the home with the understanding that the lender will take possession of the house upon their death. There are three basic types:
Single-purpose reverse mortgages. Offered by state and local government agencies and nonprofit organizations, these tend to be the least expensive. Most low- and moderate-income homeowners can qualify.
Federally insured reverse mortgage. Also known as Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECM), these are backed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Proprietary reverse mortgages are loans from private financial companies.
HECMs and the proprietary variety are often more expensive than regular mortgage loans. HECMs have no income or medical requirements, and carry no restrictions on how borrowers can spend the money. All three involve home appraisals to assess the level of collateral.
Whether a reverse mortgage is a good option for you depends on various factors, including:
Your health. If you anticipate that your or your spouse’s health will probably decline in the next few years to the point where an assisted living facility is needed, it may not be worth it for you to incur debt from the typically high up-front costs of a reverse mortgage. If the borrower vacates without having repaid the loan, the lender can force the spouse out if he or she isn’t on the loan as a borrower. To prevent this, both husband and wife should be on the loan as borrowers.
So I was browsing around in the Sunday Paper this weekend, and I came across a Best Buy ad. Being the technology enthusiast that I am, I decided to look through it and gawk at all the latest gadgets for sale. As I turned through the pages of the ad, however, I came across a sad sight. I realized that Best Buy and its Geek Squad are essentially scamming people who don’t know any better about their computers. They’re charging ridiculously high prices for extremely simple tasks. Changing your PC’s memory? $40. When you consider that memory these days costs around $50 on average, $40 to install it is incredibly high. The way that this company works is by preying on people who don’t know how to do these things themselves. My goal with this article is to save YOU money and teach Best Buy that consumers are tired of being scammed into paying outrageous prices for tasks they could do on their own.
First, let’s look at GPS installation prices. Now, to begin with, a GPS is not the most complicated device to install. It pops out of its little box, mounts onto a suction cup, and sticks to your window. But apparently, Best Buy thinks that consumers are willing to pay $49.99 for this service. Yes, you read that right, $49.99. This price essentially gets your GPS out of the box and onto your window. From there, the wonderful geeks will then tell you how to navigate to a location. Navigating to a location is so incredibly simple that I decided to try it out on my 90 year old grandma. I asked her to navigate from her nursing home to the nearest pizza place. She was able to complete this task in approximately 3 minutes on a TomTom. Seriously, Best Buy?
Since setting up a GPS was fairly simple, I moved on to something a little more difficult: setting up a wireless network in my home. Geek Squad thinks such a service costs $150. With today’s routers, almost anyone can set up a network, but I understand that not everyone is as adept as I am with technology. But I still could not fathom paying $150 for that service. So I called around to local “computer gurus.” The good news here is that they will charge less than $100 for that service. So if it isn’t something you can do on your own, please, please support your neighborhood geek and ask them for help before shelling out $150 for the Geek Squad to do it. They’d probably mess it up anyway.
Continuing my search on Geek Squad’s website, I was able to locate many more rip offs. First, there is a $40 charge for an in-store “tune up.” Said tune-up consists of enabling a pop-up blocker in Internet Explorer (which any 10 year old with access to Google could do), and cleaning out unwanted programs. Before you spend money at the store, see what free programs can do. I use CCleaner which is a free program that gets rid of space-consuming temporary files and unneeded programs. And, it’s 100% free! Take that, Best Buy.
Next up is email. Email these days is pretty much so simple that your kid could (and probably does) do it. Nonetheless, the Geek Squad continues to prey on unsuspecting folks who think $50 is reasonable to setup an email account. Essentially, they will open your program, ask you for the password, type it in the box for you, and say “there you go, we fixed it!”
This next item honestly takes the award for most outrageous cost. To install a program today, one needs to insert the CD into the drive, click “Next,” “Next,” “Finish,” and they are done. Best Buy will do this incredibly difficult task for you for the low price of… $30! And you have to bring the computer to them. I think if you can drive to the store and carry your computer in, you’re perfectly capable of inserting a CD and clicking a few buttons.
Some other ridiculous services include Virus Removal for $200 (just buy a new computer if you’re going to pay that much), setting up your new computer for $150 (just turn it on, folks), setting up a printer for $50 (the cost of most low-end printers these days), connecting your iPod to your car’s speakers (buy wire, plug both ends in, turn on radio, wow), connecting your bluetooth to your phone for $150, setting up your Xbox for $50, and much much more.
Sometimes, we can’t figure something out on our own. But I implore you not to use Best Buy’s ridiculous and outrageously priced services. If you need help, call any teenager or local computer expert and chance are you’ll save hundreds of dollars. I am writing this article because I think it is a shame that Best Buy preys on people who don’t know as much as they could about computers and charges them an arm and a leg for services so simple almost anyone could do it. Shame on Best Buy and Geek Squad.
Looking to attend a financial planning retirement seminar? What are the things to look out for? Here are some things to take note. Before attending such a seminar, do know what your expectations are and what the people organizing the seminar can deliver. Usually, part of the financial planning retirement seminar will include sales pitches on products propagated by the organisers.
There is nothing wrong with these, but you do have to be aware of what your own needs in terms of such financial services and products. Some topics that are be covered in such a seminar should include personal financial planning, retirement, savings and investment and other similar topics.
A certain number of retirement planning seminars have speakers suggesting the use of high-risk financial instruments so that (logically) higher investment returns can be achieved. The logic is, of course, with higher investment returns, you can secure a more comfortable retirement in future. All very well and good, but it is of utmost importance that you must first understand you own risk appetite and profile. You may want to talk to a professional and competent financial planner in this respect.
The old saying of “caveat emptor” (buyer beware) is a good description for this, even if just figuratively. The point to note is that in personal financial planning (and especially in the area of investment) it is wise not to get involved in anything that one has no clear and thorough understanding of. In fact, the financial planning retirement seminar is the avenue for you to better understand the type of financial instruments and investments that will help you retire comfortably. It is definitely not the place for you to lose your “sweat and blood” funds that are meant for your retirement. There is really no need to feel that you have to agree with everything the speaker says. Do remember that some speakers do have commercial objectives to be speaking at such seminars.
Ready to attend the seminar? Before that, start by asking yourself some questions on what you are trying to achieve. The questions can be along the line of ” how much should I save for retirement?”, “what kind of lifestyle do I want during retirement?”. These questions may seem basic, but they are important. They will help shape your expectations of what the retirement seminar can do for you.
For example, most financial planners will recommend that you will live on 60% – 80% of your present income. Whilst there are various reasons for this financial planning “rule of the thumb”, only you will know what you want. Nobody, except yourself, should decide. The fact remains, however, that you must be in a position to decide. In order to do that, you must have a personal financial plan in the first place. Hopefully, attending a financial planning retirement seminar will either start that plan or enhance your present one. This is all part of good personal financial planning.

The recent debt compromise calls for Congress to set up a bi-partisan committee to review entitlements, including Social Security, and to make recommendations by Thanksgiving. As a result, we’ll probably hear more impassioned debates about so-called “raids” by politicians on the Social Security trust fund. Here I’ll suggest two possible fixes that would prevent such raids, and we’ll look at the implications.
To understand these potential solutions, we’ll need to first review Social Security financing. The Social Security trust fund stood at about $2.6 trillion as of January 1, 2011, according to the 2011 Social Security trust fund report. The fund has been growing since the early 1980s because Social Security collected tax money from workers during the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s that was substantially greater than the total benefit payments being made during this same period. This surplus resulted from changes to Social Security that were enacted in 1983 under the Reagan administration, and were intended to boost the funding of the trust fund to pay for Social Security benefits owed to the baby boom generation.
For the first time in decades, benefits paid last year exceeded the Social Security taxes collected, primarily attributable to reduced tax collections and increases in early retirement applications due to the poor economy. From now until about 2023, benefits will be paid from the Social Security taxes collected each year plus the interest on the trust fund. Thereafter, we’ll start dipping into the principal of the trust fund; by 2036, the trust fund assets are projected to be exhausted. At that time, only about 77 percent of the Social Security benefits owed will be able to be paid from taxes collected.
The Social Security trust fund is invested in special U.S. treasury bonds. The pictures above show Social Security’s “Fort Knox” — a file cabinet with notebooks containing the $2.6 trillion in these special bonds. These bonds are part of the total U.S. federal debt, which is estimated to be $14.3 trillion as of August 3, 2011. These special bonds are used to finance all the various operations of the U.S. government, including the military, foreign aid, and entitlement programs.
But in reality, there’s been no raiding of these bonds going on. The word “raid” implies that greedy politicians in a smoke-filled room have been stealing our money for their pet pork projects. In reality, these special bonds are being used in accordance with the laws passed in 1983 by a Republican Senate and a Democratic House, and signed by a Republican President — in plain sight of everybody. The proceeds of these bonds became part of the total financial machinery that funds the U.S. government — they weren’t spent on any specific government projects.
This is not to say there aren’t any problems with the way Social Security is being financed. In the future, when we dip into the Social Security trust fund to pay benefits, the special U.S. treasury bonds must be converted into cash, and there will be only two sources of this cash: (1) future taxes in addition to Social Security taxes or (2) new federal borrowing.
The recent brouhaha over the debt ceiling arose because of concerns that our federal debt is getting too large, and that eventually we’ll be unable to make payments on this debt. If that happens, then part of the debt that won’t get paid are the assets in the Social Security trust fund, thereby jeopardizing the security of future benefit payments.
And while I don’t agree with use of the word “raid,” I do share the concern about the growth in the federal debt. If the total federal debt is manageable, then there’s no doubt that the special U.S. treasury bonds in the Social Security trust fund will be repaid. But the concern is that the federal debt is growing to unmanageable levels.
One obvious solution to the problem is to bring the total federal debt down to manageable levels, so that once again, there’s no doubt that the special treasury bonds in the Social Security trust fund will be safe. The obvious difficulty with this solution is that it requires running a surplus each year, through some combination of tax increases and reduced federal spending — and you know that’s easier said than done.
The other possibility is to set up Social Security financing such that future benefits aren’t dependent on future borrowing or future taxes other than Social Security taxes. And that brings us to our two possible fixes.

WASHINGTON — Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) unveiled her first bill Wednesday, designed to set student loan interest rates at the same level the Federal Reserve offers to big banks.
With some student loan rates set to double on July 1 — from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent — Warren’s bill would reduce student loan interest rates to 0.75 percent, opening the Fed’s discount window to students.
“Every single day, this country invests in big banks by lending them money at near-zero rates,” Warren told The Huffington Post. “We should make the same kind of investment lending money to students, who are trying to get an education.”
The freshman senator said she plans to mobilize students — those most affected by student loans — to help get the bill through the Senate. “This is about their lives and if they are active in this fight, we can make this change,” Warren said.
The Fed justifies loaning money essentially for free to major banks so they can maintain liquidity during emergencies. But Warren noted that student loan debt also affects the economy. Research by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, reported by Washington Post’s Wonkblog, found that the amount of student loan debt of Americans under the age of 25 has doubled in less than a decade, from $10,649 in 2003 to $20,326 in 2012. Along with this increase in student debt comes a decrease in the likelihood someone will take out an auto loan or a home mortgage. That burden is a drag on the economy.
Warren pointed to the GI Bill and National Defense Education Act loans, which funded her education. “It wasn’t just soldiers that got the education, it was the whole economy that benefitted from that investment,” Warren said. “Why not give students a break? Why not let them in on the same great deal that the big banks get?”
According to the Project on Student Debt, college students who graduated in 2011 owed more than $26,000 in student loans, which Warren said is, “crushing our young.”
Warren ran for Senate promising to fight against an economic system she described as “rigged” in favor of big business. She said her legislation is intended to raise questions about why banks get a dramatically subsidized loan rate and what can be done to reduce debt burdens for students and consumers. The simple answer — that the Fed could subsidize students instead of banks — is an uncomfortable one and goes to a core inequality at the heart of the financial system.
Robert L. Borosage, co-director of the Campaign for America’s Future, a progressive public policy think tank, in endorsing Warren’s bill, said in a press release that “Instead of kicking students when they are down, we should end the student debt crisis.”
The length of a man’s ring finger may predict his success as a financial trader.
Researchers at the University of Cambridge in England report that men with longer ring fingers, compared to their index fingers, tended to be more successful in the frantic high-frequency trading in the London financial district.
Indeed, the impact of biology on success was about equal to years of experience at the job, the team led by physiologist John M. Coates reports in Monday’s edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The same ring-to-index finger ratio has previously been associated with success in competitive sports such as soccer and basketball, the researchers noted.
The length ratio between those two fingers is determined during the development of the fetus and the relatively longer ring finger indicates greater exposure to the male hormone androgen, the researchers noted.
Previous studies have found that such exposure can lead to increased confidence, risk preferences, search persistence, heightened vigilance and quickened reaction times.
In a separate study last year, Coates and colleagues reported that the hormone that drives male aggression and sexual interest also seemed able to boost short term success at finance.
They studied male financial traders in London, taking saliva samples in the morning and evening. They found that those with higher levels of testosterone in the morning were more likely to make an unusually big profit that day. Testosterone, best known as the male sex hormone, affects aggression, confidence and risk-taking.
In the new study, the researchers measured the right hands of 44 male stock traders who were engaged in a type of trade that involved rapid decision-making and quick physical reactions.
Over 20 months those with longer ring fingers compared to their index fingers made 11 times more money than those with the shortest ring fingers. Over the same time the most experienced traders made about 9 times more than the least experienced ones.
Looking only at experienced traders, the long-ring-finger folks earned 5 times more than those with short ring fingers.
While the finger ratio, showing fetal exposure to male hormones, appears to signal likely success in high-actively trading that calls for risk-taking and quick reactions, it may not indicate people who would do well at other sorts of financial activities, the researchers said.
Some traders require additional skills on dealing with clients and sales workers.
And the advantage may even reverse for some, Coates team said, such as traders taking a more analytical and long-term approach to the markets.
One study, which looked at average finger ratios in university departments found that faculty from math, science and engineering exhibited longer index finger ratio, rather than ring finger, they noted.
