Tips for Avoiding Investment Scams
By now most investors have heard the cautionary tales provided by the unfortunate investors in the Bernie Madoff investment scam. This gigantic Ponzi scheme snared not the novice investor but the supposedly sophisticated movers and shakers, including some of the wealthiest individuals in the country. How did Mr. Madoff manage to keep this sham going for so long? Why did these supposedly experienced investors fall for the lie? Why did no one notice the extremely high rates of return Madoff’s funds were supposedly generating? The answers to those questions are still being determined, but in the meantime the Madoff scandal can provide ordinary investors with some important lessons.
While investment scams of the size Bernie Madoff was able to engineer are rare, smaller investment scams and Ponzi schemes are all too common. These small scale scams often fly well under the radar – that is until their unwitting victims find themselves holding the bag. By then the perpetrator of the scam is often long gone, leaving hundreds or even thousands of victims in his or her wake. Recovering those lost funds can be difficult, and even when a recovery is made investors are often left with pennies on the dollar. The better course is to avoid these investment scams in the first place.
Economy Progress and Improvement
Although it is unlikely the United States will ever eliminate its debt entirely – a debt has existed since the inception of the nation, with a brief zeroing of the debt during the Andrew Jackson administration – many economists hope to see greater fiscal responsibility in the future and a gradual reduction of debt. The current stimulus package is highly contentious in part because of the extent to which it grows the debt, although proponents point out that if it works as planned, the boost to the economy will offset the short-term cost in the form of a growing tax base.
The future of the United States economy has rarely been so in question. But even with so much looking grim, there is a great deal of hope. The United States has been, since the New Deal, almost uniquely structured among the developed nations to weather economic hardships such as this. A strong central bank, and virtually unlimited tools in the hands of the Congress and President to invest, put the government in a position to gauge constantly shifting situations and react to them immediately and with force. Such tools may inevitably lead to mistakes, but may also allow the nation to be among the first to recover from a global downturn, as it did during the last Great Depression.
Guide for Young Adults on Doing Their Taxes
How should you do your taxes? If you’ve just finished college or graduate school, this may be the first time you do taxes without being claimed as a dependent on your parents’ tax return. There may have been a few changes in your life that can offer deductions. The good news is that there are several options for preparing your taxes. You can choose how involved you are in the process and whether you want or need to get help from a professional tax preparer. Tax time doesn’t have to be stressful, and it isn’t all that confusing.
The first step in doing your taxes is to gather all your paperwork. This includes any W-2 forms from employers, 1099 forms from employers who did not take taxes out of your pay, and any interest earnings reported from investments or other bank accounts. You’ll also want records of any interest paid to those hefty student loans you’ve racked up.
Going to a website that offers free tax preparation software is a great place to start. You can find those websites listed on the IRS site. They offer a list of all free e-file preparers. Most of these sites walk you through the process, telling you which box to enter on which line. They also do the math for you, so you can give your hard-earned college math skills a rest.
First of all, determine if you can be claimed as a dependent. While they may not be paying for your visits to happy hour, they may be able to claim you as a dependent on their tax return. If you are married and filing jointly, you cannot be claimed as a dependent. The IRS states that you must live with your parents for more than half the year, but being away at college counts as living with your parents. You must have been a full time student for any part of five months of the year. Also, you cannot have provided more than half of your support for the year. If you have received a loan, that counts as your income and the support you have provided for yourself. Clear as mud? Again, many tax sites will be able to ask you the questions to clear up whether or not you can be claimed as a dependent. Also, the IRS website has a lot of information to answer questions.
Should You Take the Early Retirement Package?
If your boss offered you $100,000 to leave your job, would you? Early retirement packages are often offered to employees nearing retirement age before companies start issuing layoff notices. Not all employees are approached with these package deals. For example, employees with a certain level of seniority that also meet predefined age requirements may be eligible for the so-called early retirement package while others must wait and see if pink slips are in their future. Supposing that you do qualify and that your employer does offer you a sweet deal, should you take it?
Early retirement packages often sound quite generous. You may be offered a full year’s salary in addition to other incentives as well as severance pay. However, like most financial decisions, whether the deal is in your best interest depends on a number of factors including your personal financial situation, your age, your skills, the health of the company, the economy, your willingness to take risks, and the actual dollar figures of the offer. In short, does the early retirement package hold up?
Let’s look at a hypothetical worker earning $50,000 per year. An early retirement offer of $100,000 would equal two years’ worth of pay. On the surface, that looks great. But before you sign the papers, you owe it to yourself to consider the options. If you’re nearing retirement, have been thinking of leaving the company, or have been waiting for the perfect opportunity to start your own business, taking a package may be an excellent option. On the other hand, if you have a growing family, work in a profession with few job opportunities, or don’t think you can land another job that pays as well in the future, you may be better off waiting and seeing what the future holds.
Safety and Security Considerations for Online Banking Customers
Online banking can be a great way to enhance the returns on your savings while lowering your cost. Even so, many of us are understandably nervous about giving our most personal financial information to a stranger on the other side of a computer terminal. Safety and security considerations are critical in the banking world, and they can be even more important when it comes to online banking.
It is absolutely essential for customers of online banks to have confidence in the security measures those banks have instituted. This kind of proactive approach to safety and security is perhaps the best way to avoid falling victim to identity theft, phishing schemes and other types of cyber crime.
There are actually two parts to the online banking safety and security puzzle. One part is the protection customers have in the event of a bank failure. The other piece is the safety and security measures the bank has instituted to fight the scourge of identity theft, fraudulent emails and other online threats. Let’s take a look at the protection from bank failure first.
