Can You Plan Your Money the Wrong Way?

Money management is important. If you just spend mindlessly, you will probably fall into a lot of trouble and make quite a mess in your life. In order to avoid money problems in your life, you have to plan out your finances. You have to make goals and devise a budgeting plan to help you achieve those goals. This sounds easy enough, but is it quite so simple?

For those without a financial mind or for those who are afraid of even the word financial, money management scares them. It looks and sounds difficult and they can't imagine themselves successfully doing it on there own. What if I spend too much on a house and I can't pay my mortgage? What if I cut back so much on my food that I can't feed my family? What if I choose the wrong investments and lose all my money?

These are all questions that someone who is scared to manage their money may be asking, and there are many more. You could probably think of a few right now. This is no reason not to manage your money. You are not going to mess it up. Sure, money management and financial planning is not fool-proof, but once you get the hang of it, it is not hard. Once you get your goals down and set up a budget, all you have to do is follow it.

You can't set goals the wrong way. If you have a goal to buy a house in 5 years, you need to come up with a way to afford it. You may decide you need $40,000 for a down-payment. If you save $8,000 a year, or about $670 a month, you can have it. If you invest the money, or put it into a savings account, you will need less, or you will have extra, because your money will earn interest. Even if you didn't know this and you just stuck it in a bank account that earned interest without realizing it, you would have done anything wrong. You would just be happy to have a bit more money when the time came to buy.

A big part of money planning is budgeting. You need to write down what you will spend your money on and spend only on that. Figure out what you need to save and then work around it. The only way you can mess this up is by not sticking to your budget. The worst way you can plan your money the wrong way is by not planning it at all.

Fire Department Financing - How to Measure Your Manufacturer's Financial Strength

How would you determine if the fire apparatus manufacturer on the other side of the contract is financially solid enough to build and deliver your truck?

The fire apparatus manufacturing industry is in a very tough period right now. When you enter into a significant and expensive contract with a manufacturer, how can you be sure they will be there to deliver your truck? Or honor the warranty commitment you're paying for as part of the contract? Or, what if the manufacturer offers you a complicated financial option such as prepayment or a turn-in lease?

Being on the wrong end of an unfulfilled contract can be financially devastating and personally stressful. As stewards of public funds, you are entrusted with the responsibility of making wise choices. That used to mean simply buying the most responsive apparatus. But, in today's environment, it now includes a financial assessment to ensure that the apparatus you buy today is delivered, covered by warranty, and has replacement and repair parts available during its useful life.

This article will fire departments analyze and understand what financial risks they are assuming in selecting a manufacturer. Here are 4 steps to understand your fire apparatus manufacturer's financial condition:


  1. Listen and read. There is a lot of information available about the state of fire apparatus manufacturers in various magazines and websites devoted to the topic. What is the general consensus? Are orders down? Are their rumors about the manufacturer's worsening financial condition? Or stories about failed contracts? While this is not a definite source of accurate information, this information should tell you to dig deeper if there are reports of financial issues. But the grapevine is a great source to understand the potential of a problem. It is not recommended that you take action solely on the negative articles or message board postings, but, rather, to dig deeper to understand the risk.

  2. Measure apples to apples. The easiest method to measure the financial risk of each fire apparatus manufacturer is to request their performance bond costs. A performance bond is an insurance policy. And, just like other insurance policies, the costs are established based on the risk of the insured. In this case, the fire apparatus manufacturer. The bonding company measures the risk that a manufacturer is able to "perform" on the contract - in other words, to deliver you a truck. A performance bond cost is like a golf score - the lower the better. The bond costs are stated as a dollar amount "per thousand". Typically, performance bond costs among the top "name-brand" manufacturers run from$2 to $10 per thousand dollars. So, if the bond costs are on the higher end of this range, they have been assessed to be more risky than those with the lower bond costs. Finally, if the manufacturer can not provide a performance bond, that is a sign of extreme risk. But performance bond analysis does not provide a complete risk analysis. Bonding companies do not perform their audits continuously so the manufacturer may have worsened from the last bonding audit. A method to dig deeper is..

  3. Ask for financial information and understand it. The manufacturer should be able to provide you with financial information that you can use for the deepest analysis. The manufacturer should provide the last 3 years and recent financial information that is less than 90 days old. Then, either get help or understand what the financial information is telling you. A financially viable manufacturer should:

    • Be profitable. The manufacturer should report a "net profit" on its income statement for each year. Profit is the money that enables the manufacturer to stay in business and honor its contracts and after-sale commitments (warranties) to its customers. Profitable companies rarely go bankrupt.
    • Be relatively debt-free. The manufacturer should provide a balance sheet which is the things that it owns ("assets") and what it owes ("liabilities"). The difference is how much of the company's assets are owned "free and clear" ("equity"). The more equity a manufacturer has, the more it owns its assets and the less likely it will fail. Also, another bad sign is when total liabilities (" the amount that the company owes") is increasing while the sales and profits are declining. That means it trend is to borrow more to produce each truck.
    • Not have red flags. If the manufacturer's auditor states things like "we can not render an opinion" or "ability to continue as a going concern", these are very bad red flags that the manufacturer has deep financial issues.
  4. Pay attention to desperation. If your manufacturer keeps attempting to get you to prepay your apparatus, this can be read as a bad sign. They may be unable to obtain the financing they need and are trying to have you finance the construction of your apparatus. A honest offer of a prepayment discount is not troubling on its own, but when a prepayment is required or continuously offered at a higher discount, this usually means that the manufacturer is desperate for funding. This desperation usually is the result of a long period where the manufacturer has not been profitable and has been increasing its debt. Also, if the performance bond costs are at the higher end of the $2 - $10 range, or the manufacturer can't provide bonding, it is recommended that you seriously consider the viability of the manufacturer.

Most fire departments lack the financial knowledge to perform an in-depth analysis of their manufacturer. By using these steps as a starting point to measure the financial viability, you can avoid the headaches and stress of having a failed truck purchase. You will not be put in the position that numerous unsuspecting fire departments have found themselves by losing money when buying a new apparatus.

Getting Your First Mortgage

Many people know that when you take a mortgage, a greater part of your payment will go towards covering interest. It is not uncommon to pay thrice the actual purchase price of your house at the end of your mortgage term. It is therefore important that you do enough shopping around before you go for your first mortgage. This will help you to get a mortgage whose interest rate is manageable, which will not end up making you paying through the nose. You should ensure that when getting your first mortgage, you receive the best possible product. Your first mortgage will be one of the major choices you will have to decide on. In order to help you make a well informed decision, you need to understand what mortgage involves in the first place.

Many people misunderstand what mortgage really is, mistaking it for a loan. This is not really true. Here is the difference - in a loan, you receive something from the lender while in a mortgage, you are actually the one giving the lender something.

Before you get your first mortgage, you need to understand the types that are in the market at the particular time. Let us take a look at some of the common first mortgages available.

* Fixed-Rate First Mortgage or also called Fixed Interest Mortgage

In this type of loan, the interest rates are set all through the term of the mortgage. This may be a good option for your first loan since there will be no unexpected fluctuations. The interest rate of your fixed-rate mortgage will remain the same whether the term of the mortgage is 10, 15, 20, or 30 years. You will clearly know what you are expected to pay since what you are paying for both the principal and interest rate will not change. This means that if this is your type of first mortgage, you will be better off in case market interest rates shoot up.

The down payment needed for the fixed-rate first mortgage is generally low, at times just about 5 per cent of the initial purchase price.

* Adjustable-Rate First Mortgage or also called Variable Interest Mortgage

There are times when it may be better to take your first mortgage as an adjustable-rate one. This is important in the case where the interest rates are clearly expected to go down. In this type of first mortgage, both your monthly payments vary depending on the prevailing market rates. This means that when the market rates go down, you will be able to make lower payments.

Another situation when it is better to opt for adjustable-rate first mortgage is when you expect to get higher incomes within a few years.

* Balloon First Mortgage

This type of first mortgage is appropriate in case you do not expect to own the house for a long time. This way, you will be able to get lower interest rates.

Fire Department Funding - How to Weather a Financial Crisis

There is no magic silver bullet to prevent hardships during a financial crisis.? But there are a few steps your fire department can take to ensure you have a better chance of surviving turbulent financial times.? This article will help fire departments develop a survival plan.

First, have the right mindset about saving

I speak to fire departments daily that think they should spend every penny of their income since they are "not for profit".? It is entirely appropriate for a "not for profit" to invest in a "rainy day fund" each year.? This will be savings that is increased during the good times so that it can be drawn down during the hard times.? Then, the cycle continues as good times return by investing in the rainy day fund to draw down during the next hard times.? This is prudent financial management.

It is important to treat this investment as an investment in your longevity.? You will substantially improve your chances at surviving a economically difficult time by having a financial cushion.

Note:? This rainy day saving is separate from the savings you may have for a large purchase such as a new fire truck or station.? The purpose of this savings is solely to protect yourself financially during a financial crisis.

Second, have the correct amount of savings

How much savings is enough?? That question is asked every day by fire departments across the country. And everyone wants the magic number.?

The fact is that the correct amount of savings is a function of your annual budget.? Your savings should equal from 6 to 12 months of normal expenses.?

If your department receives its income from reliable sources of income such as taxes, local contracts, etc., your department could probably be OK with closer to 6 months of expenses.?

If your department depends highly upon less reliable sources of income such as fundraisers, donations, grants, bingo, etc., your department should develop an investment plan to keep closer to 12 months of expenses in your rainy day fund.

Third, tighten down on spending

Your budget process should always identify essential expenses and non-essential expenses.? Then, during financially difficult times, you have clear identification of what expenses can be cut without the emotion of trying to figure it out during this difficult time.

Finally, examine all your debt

It's extremely hard to go bankrupt if you don't owe any money.? But most fire departments can't often be in this position.? The next best thing is to examine your current loans during a financial crisis.? If you have savings for a future purchase and a large outstanding loan, it may make sense to use this money to reduce your debts and payments.? It may even save you money as the interest paid on a loan is usually higher than the interest you earn in a savings account.

In summary

Hard times are survived when you plan and prepare for them.? You will never know when a hard time will hit, you'll just one day find yourself in it.? And the fire departments that are ready survive the hard times with less stress and a higher survival rate.

Plug in Points to See How Your Financing Will Pay Off

The home mortgage loan sector is one of the most innovative financial markets. When you consider mortgage points it adds confusion to an already complicated process. However, most buyers do not understand the concept of points and they do not ask for help or clarification to learn about it. They become overwhelmed and have to depend on the mercy of the lender's offer.

The concept is quite simple. Mortgage points are fees paid to a lender for a loan. Shortly the points are usually linked to interest rates with the more points you pay for, the lower the interest rate. Another way to view them would be as pre-paid fees. If you pay points now you will save money in interest payments later.

If you have the cash on hand to pay points and you still cannot decide if you should pay them to get a lower interest rate ask yourself what you would do with the money if not spent on points. If you are buying a home you probably have many needs for the extra money but do not be short-sighted. Invest for the long term.

Most lenders usually charge one point for the loan origination fee and additional points on loans that have interest rates under the current market rate. The lender gets some money up front in exchange for a lower interest rate. It is a win situation for both parties. You can check the newspaper or the Internet for current rates and points being offered and their combinations, which are many and negotiable.

Some mortgage points will reduce the interest rate and some will not. Discount points are based on how much money you borrow. One point equals 1% of the loan. For example, 1% of $100,000 would be $1,000. You can expect a reduction of about one quarter percent for each point paid. Paying points does not reduce the amount borrowed but how much you will be paying back. So, paying points depends on a lot of factors.

If you do not have the cash to pay points then it is a moot point. (No pun intended). The main thing to consider is how long you plan to keep your home. In other words, will you keep the home past the break-even point? That is when your accumulated monthly savings exceed what you have paid in points to get the interest rate down.

Paying points is probably a good investment if you plan to keep the home five years or more. Points can be considered an investment when it continuously yields a savings the longer you stay in the home.

A chart can be prepared to show you the options and when the break-even point occurs. Ask the lender to quote points in dollar amounts so you can easily see how much you are spending.

It is thought the mortgage point system is used only in the United States. That is probably a plus for the creators of our financial system which enables more families to purchase a home who otherwise would not qualify.

Reclaim Unlawful Bank Charges

Illegal bank charges, Unlawful bank charges, and Unfair bank charges. So you've been charged by your bank and you don't understand why? Here is a practical guide to reclaim illegal bank charges, unlawful bank charges, and plain unfair bank charges.

Currently there is a court case in progress to decide if the bank are making money from illegal bank charges, unlawful bank charges, and unfair bank charges. As banks do not have to repay bank charges at the moment, they are not doing so unless they feel that the illegal bank charges, unlawful bank charges, or unfair bank charges are in fact bank error. Bank Error.

Banks to error on time to time, but it is very rare that a illegal bank charge is caused by bank error. However in some cases employees do make mistakes. Let us say for example that you have a packaged account (an account that you pay a monthly charge for, and in return you get stacks of benefits and discounts and services included). If you decide that you no longer want this account and if you are entitled to remove the deal from your account you go into your bank to have this removed. You need to sign something to agree the removal (as banks keep an extensive paper trail as proof of EVERYTHING), and in return you should get a receipt. If for some reason your account doesn't get changed to a standard account and you continue to get charged, resulting an an un-arranged bank charge, this is classed as bank error. In this instance you need to take your receipt. to the bank and demand a refund. This can't be refused. Unfortunately as I have just mentioned banks keep evidence of everything done and bank error is uncommon. Reasons for getting bank charges. Guaranteed Card Payment Fee.

Unless you can keep on top of your money, using a debit card can be very dangerous. People believe that if they don't have the money then the card will be refused. Unfortunately not in every case. Shops and ATMs do not have real time communication with the banks. At times it is impossible to know if there is money in the account. A shop has what is called a floor limit on their card transactions and all transactions under a pre-specified limit will authorize without contacting the bank. on top of that, retailers have the option to hold that payment on their systems for up to 6 months without communicating that information to the bank. So how could the bank possibly know if you have spent the money? It can't. It is up to you to keep track of how much you have been spending. This also applies to cash machines, however cash machines do generally update much quicker. Paid & Unpaid Referral Fees.

Direct Debits and Standing orders are a major cause of bank charges. If you have a direct debit or standing order that is due out of your account and you do not have the money for it you will get a charge. in some cases the direct debit won't even get paid to the company so the company will re-request the direct debit and again if you don't have the cash then you will get charged. Even if you cancel a direct debit with the bank, the company can present the direct debit instruction under another reference number and the money will still be paid (or not as in some cases), resulting in more charges. The banks have little control over this system as there are literally millions of direct debit instructions and it is impossible to review and authorize each one individually. If you are not going to have the money in your account, cancel the direct debit about 3-4 working days before it is due. A little tip on managing direct debits. if you have a direct debit due out on the 10th for example the direct debit will leave the account on the previous working day. i.e. in most cases it will leave on the 9th. However if the 10th happens to fall on a Saturday, Sunday or a Monday, then the direct debit will actually leave the account on the Friday! Learn and understand this phrase "I need to have the money for my direct debit in my account on the last working day before the direct debit is due at the latest". Say that out loud 3 times. Un-arranged Borrowing Charges.

If you are taken overdrawn at any point in that month then the bank will apply a charge to your account. The charge will leave the account on the last working day of the month. In the banks eyes they say this is to allow you replace the money and find money to cover the charges. They let you know roughly 2 weeks in advance. In reality the charge is applied on the last working day of the month so the customer is then overdrawn on the first working day of the next month and so gets a charge at the end of the next month too (and so on and so fourth). Credit Zones (commonly known as the overdraft).

People will argue with a bank that the charges they have been given are illegal and should not have been applied as they do not have an overdraft facility on the account. Wrong. There are Arranged overdrafts, and Un-arranged overdrafts. The long and short of it is, everyone has the facility and is free to use it. The only difference is the charges. For an arranged overdraft there is no monthly maintenance fee and there is a small monthly rate of interest which is usually around 1.5% per month. For an un-arranged overdraft there is a monthly charge and a higher rate of interest. The bottom line is, you CAN go overdrawn weather you have agreed the facility or not. My advice to you is to arrange the facility if you have the option - would you prefer a direct debit to come out of your arranged overdraft if you do not have the funds for it, or would you prefer it to come out of an un-arranged overdraft and get charged for the luxury? Don't fight the charge, Address the issue.

When it comes to bank charges, the banks do have you be the short and curlys. You have agreed to accept the charges and you are contractually bound to them. Instead of kicking up a fuss about them you need to grab the bull by the horns and address the issue. Go into your bank and speak to someone about it, but instead of shouting and screaming the odds at the first employee you can get your hands on, ask them for help. At the end of the day branch and call canter employees have not set the rules, they have not applied the charge manually to your account have they? No. So give them a break. These are the people who can advise you best on what to do. They will tell it like it is, and weather or not it is what you want to hear, it is the best way forward. You need to establish exactly how much you are due to be charged and the days that they will be coming out of your accounts. You need to account for that money, and make sure it is there the working day before the charge is due. This is the only way to break the charge cycle. You may not want to pay the charge and fight it, but in the long run you could end up with thousands of pounds worth of debt and a ruined credit file. Remember that the banks are in court waiting for a ruling - let the FSA fight it out with them, not you. Your job is to keep your charges minimal in the event that the courts rule in banks favour. Prevention is better than the cure.

Be smart with your money - avoid the charges in the first place. If you have had problems with card payments - pay in cash. If direct debits are causing you issues - contact the company and ask them to send you a giro. Your local branch can tell you what money you have available, so use the facility. Use online banking to keep a track of your money - it takes 2 minutes to log on to your account online and check how much money is available.

With any luck the courts will rule against the banks and you will be able to reclaim anything you have paid. We will address that issue when it comes about.

Thailand Protesters Leave Hundreds Stuck

As you're no doubt aware there are currently hundreds of protesters in Thailand's biggest airport staging a demonstration for their dislike of the current prime minister. The protest has caused nothing short of havoc for those trying to travel in and out of the country.

The latest news is sending information of hundred of holiday makers and business employees stranded within the walls of the Suvarnabhumi airport in Thailand as the protesters continue their so far (mostly) peaceful protest. Dressed in bright yellow shirts and brandishing signs, noise horns and brightly coloured masks and costumes they have certainly made a dramatic impression on the area.

Almost all the flights leaving and entering the airport have been cancelled, with a few lucky passengers escaping the country early this morning, however reports of more passengers managing to leave as so far based only on rumour. Most reports have stressed that the people stuck in Suvarnabhumi are not being offered much help and have so far resorted to sleeping on anything from under check in desks to security belts.

Interviews with those still waiting to hear news show people who are tired, hungry and worried for the future. Many people have young children who need food and supplies like nappies and clothes, the elderly are in need of their medication waiting for them at home, and everybody as a whole are having to endure severe boredom while they wait for somebody to tell them what's going on.

As the story continues to develop it is obvious worry for those stranded as to how they're going to fund their delayed stay with money quickly running out and them being unable to make any more. While the financial market is so shaky, and travel has been effected in all ways from companies going bust to theft of travellers possessions being on the increase it is more important than ever to insure yourself and the trip you're going on.

Travel insurance is a necessity during these troubled finance times. Get some advice from an insurance broker to find out how you can get some decent cheap travel insurance.
