Top 10 Ways to Cut Spending
Do you run out of money before you run out of month?
Do you wonder where your money goes each month?
Do you struggle to find money to invest for retirement, emergencies and other financial goals?
Here are 10 tips to cut your spending and stretch your dollar to the max:
1.
Consider dropping your home telephone line.
Your cell phone is probably all you really need, and most likely it has free long distance.
You could save $30 or more per month by dropping your "land line".
2.
Cut back on trips to Starbucks or other premium coffee shops.
Often called the "latte factor", spending several dollars per day on luxuries like premium coffee can really add up.
For example, if you spend $4 for a cappuccino five times a week for 50 weeks out of the year (you're on vacation the other two weeks), you would spend $1,000 in a year.
Try treating your trip to Starbucks as a treat...
Ever Wondered What An Auto Insurance Claim Adjuster Does?
An auto insurance claim adjuster works for the insurance company with whom you purchase a policy. Some insurance companies use independent adjusters so that they get an unbiased report. When you have an accident and make a claim on your insurance, the company will send out an adjuster to access the damages and come up with an amount of money that will be needed to complete the repairs.

The auto insurance adjuster assigned to your case will contact you to get the details on where he/she can assess the vehicle.
Then you will receive a report from the insurance company regarding the assessment the auto insurance claim adjuster submits. If the damages exceed the value of the vehicle, it will be "written off". The amount you get on your auto insurance policy depends...

Estate Tax Planning
Estate tax is the levy by the government against the taxable estate of a deceased person. Taxable estate means gross estate reduced by allowable deductions. Gross estate means total estate comprising the value of all assets owned by the deceased at the time of death. IRS determines taxable estate by subtracting from gross estate certain allowable deductions like funeral expenses paid out of the estate, debts outstanding at the time of death, estate administration expenses, charitable, marital, and deductions
The assets are valued at their ?fair market value', or the price they would fetch if sold in an open market. The personal representative of the benefactor can choose the valuation date for ascertaining the value of the assets.
It can be either the date of the death of the benefactor, or six months later. This alternate valuation date is allowed only if it results in lower tax incidence.
The estate becomes liable for tax with the death of...
