Believe it or not the current unemployment rate of 7.9% is also impacting new hires.  Why?  Many large companies are using the uncertain economic outlook and particularly the unemployment rate as a way to undercut salary levels for new hires.  Some of it may be justified, but in most cases, the company is trying to take advantage of the "recession," which supposedly ended.  So what should you do as a potential new hire?  It starts with strategic salary negotiation. .

We understand that you are in a painful place just having to think about this question. But, it is better to address the matter than to hold off only to find out that you can't obtain a mortgage, credit card or any other financial instrument that requires a review of your credit history. .

The Truth About Credit Life Insurance

By The BIDaWIZ Team on June 22nd, 2010 at 8:00 am
To avoid any confusion, we are not talking about credit card insurance but rather credit life insurance. Still, you are probably thinking what is credit life insurance? In a nutshell, it is a type of insurance often bought with cars and homes in which the insured pays a premium & in return the loan is repaid in full in the event of death. This means that if you purchase a home with a $500,000 mortgage & enroll in credit life insurance then you will be paying premiums in case you pass away to ensure the debt is fully repaid. At first glance, it may seem like a nice option, but in reality it is very costly. Moreover, in almost all circumstances a term life insurance policy is a better option than credit life insurance. .

By The BIDaWIZ Team on June 15th, 2010 at 9:00 am
Paying those quarterly estimated taxes on the 15th of April, June, September & January can get awfully annoying. As a side note, estimated taxes are pretty much a requirement by the government for those that are self employed or have a lot of investment income. .
