April 22nd, 2010 No comments

You may know that the small business keep growing today. People start their own business since they loss their job and can cot find the other job in there are. Also, some of them build a business because they really want to be an entrepreneur. The lack of jobs in a country triggers people to use their own effort to create a chance to have a job. This is how the small business start is mostly.
In the case of starting a small business, people must need small business loans to meet their need in much cost they have to pay like the cost of building or rent the location, the machine maybe, the employee, and so on.
In the past, people still be able to get business loans from some banks. However, today the rule is changing. People are not recommended anymore to get a business loan from banks since the banks cannot do well as they were before. Therefore I suggest you to try other options. There are still lots of financial institutions which are ready to give the amount of funds that you want. The independent lender is also a good idea to start your trial.

Retirement Calculators – Before and After Retirement

January 5th, 2010 No comments



Calculating Our Finances Before Retirement

It seems that most of the retirement calculators on the Internet are designed by investment and securities firms whose goal is to make you invest with them and make them money. These calculators do not necessarily give you the true picture of your retirement finances.

If you plan to work after retirement and the calculator does not allow for income from a retirement job, your retirement financial projections will be off by a mile. Income from a retirement job can have a very positive impact on your retirement finances.

While researching retirement calculators on the Internet, we found three (there may be more) that include income from work after retirement. These are listed at the end of the article so keep reading.

Even these calculators have a weakness since they ask for the amount of annual income from a job after retirement, but do not ask for the age when that income will stop. They assume the income will continue until death which is not accurate. We are all living longer, but I doubt if many of us will still have a job at 90.

Calculating Our Finances After Retirement

Once we retire, the variables involved in calculating retirement finances are greatly reduced. Unless Aunt Bess leaves you an unexpected inheritance in her will, you know the amount of your retirement savings that has to last your lifetime.

Unless inflation runs away during our retirement, the major variables we have to consider are how much we budget to spend each year, the amount we make from our retirement job, and how long we choose to work at that retirement job.

Income from a retirement job has a very positive impact on your retirement finances. As a part of your retirement planning, have you thought about continuing to work after retirement?

Let’s do a fast calculation and see the impact of an after retirement job on your retirement finances. Let’s calculate the amount of investment that you need to generate a monthly income of $1,000 per month.

To do this we need to make a few assumptions. Assume the income generation rate of your investments is five percent (5%). Let’s assume that we are not going to take any principle from your investments to do this. This will leave the principle intact for use later after you have stopped working in your retirement job.

The calculation is how much principle is needed to generate $12,000 per year ($1,000 per month). The formula is principle divided by the income interest rate ($12,000/.05 = $240,000). I think you will agree that is a large amount necessary to generate $1,000 of income per month.

However, a thousand dollars per month is not too large an amount to expect to make in a retirement job and just look at the impact that it has on preserving your retirement investment.

The Boomer eZine website has a retirement calculator that assists in planning after retirement. It is designed to be used upon retirement to determine how long retirement savings will last under various conditions. You can download it free and use it to test various cases for your planning.

The retirement calculator is a Microsoft Excel file so your will need to have Microsoft Excel on your computer.

Reverse Mortgages And Retirement Planning

December 17th, 2009 No comments



There is currently a lot of talk in the press about how reverse mortgages can be used to supplement your retirement income. Some sources advocate the use of R.M. while others preach against them. First of all its like virtually every investment or financial decision, are good for some and bad for others. How they apply to you depends on your circumstances and what you’re trying to accomplish. Let’s set the record straight on this topic in relations to retirement planning.

A reverse mortgage, as the name implies, is the opposite of a regular mortgage. Instead of making monthly payments on your home mortgage, the equity you’ve build up in your home over the years pays you. To qualify for a R.M. you must meet two conditions: first, every person on the deed must be age 62 or better, and second, you must have enough net equity in your home to make a R.M. loan feasible. The same lenders that offer traditional, or forward, mortgages also offer reverse mortgages.

A reverse mortgage is not related to your ability to repay the loan, having a job, your income or net worth. The only requirement other than being age 62 or better is that the equity in your home must be sufficient to justify the R.M. loan. When you apply for a reverse mortgage you’ll go through the normal steps of obtaining a mortgage: an appraisal, title search, confirmation of insurance coverage, inspection, etc. The R.M. closing costs can be taken from the loan proceeds so you can avoid out-of-pocket costs.

The interest on a reverse mortgage loan is accrued and added to your loan balance. Accordingly, the loan balance will grow throughout the life of the reverse mortgage; however, you have no personal liability to repay the reverse mortgage since the home is the only collateral for the reverse mortgage loan. If the home is not sufficient to repay the R.M. loan, the shortfall is not your concern. When you pass on or move on, the loan can be repaid from the sale of the home with any shortfall being the responsibility of the lender and any excess going to you or your estate. The R.M. can also be repaid by getting another loan, paying the balance from your savings or investments or the children/beneficiaries could repay the loan and obtain clear title to the home.

You cannot be evicted nor can the you be foreclosed as long as you are alive, living in the home, maintaining your insurance coverage and keeping the home in reasonably good repair. If you are married, the R.M. loan is not repayable until the death, or moving, of the last spouse. You can take the R.M. loan proceeds, less closing costs, as a lump-sum, installment payments or have a line of credit established with the lender that you can access at any time. There are no restrictions on how you can use the money from a reverse mortgage: vacations, new car, investments, vacation home, giving money to children, or whatever. Before you had access to the equity in your home only by selling (and generally moving) or by refinancing (meaning payments would start all over again). This third option is something you need to know about and consider should you ever need the equity from your home to help improve your retirement lifestyle. The R.M. allows you to stay in your home and turn your home equity into spendable cash for other uses. The question is: why would you do a R.M.? First and foremost, you might need the money for retirement or to cover an emergency. Secondly, a R.M. could be incorporated into your estate planning by using the equity in your home to purchase a paid-up life insurance policy to pay tax-free death benefits to your children, charity or beneficiary. Third, you just might want to splurge and take an around-the-world vacation, buy that sports car you’ve always wanted or buy a second home on the lake rather than leaving the equity in your home to be fought over by the kids.

A better question is: why would you not want take a reverse-mortgage loan? Many retirees use a R.M. loan to finance investments. In fact, the R.M. specialist helping you might even recommend making an investment with the loan proceeds. Generally, this is not a good idea because rarely will the return from the investments cover the interest and closing costs associated with the R.M. Far too often, a retiree will unlock the equity in their home using a R.M. loan and then turn right around and buy a long-term investment that keeps their money locked up and out of their reach. This is generally a bad idea.

The one exception that oftentimes makes a great deal of sense is using the money to purchase a guaranteed lifetime income to supplement your Social Security or other retirement income. A guaranteed lifetme income is generally obtained by purchasing an annuity from a life insurance company. Annuities now allow you to obtain a guaranteed lifetime income but still retain control of your money in case you change your mind about the lifetime income, need a lump sum to cover an emergency or get an opportunity to purchase a higher lifetime income should the economic/financial picture change. By using the R.M. loan, which you do not have to repay during your lifetime, to purchase a guaranteed lifetime income you cannot outlive, you could remove the anxiety and fear of running out of money before your death. All the while you are assured of a place to live, no mortgage payments and the peace of mind of knowing that you’ll have a new income source for the remainder of your life.

The loan is a great tool that can be used to improve your retirement and you definitely should learn more. But, before taking out a reverse mortgage loan make sure you have a sound reason and have a definite non-risky use for the money or need extra income to supplement your retirement income. If you simply want to “be prepared” just in case you need money for an emergency, leave the R.M. money in a line of credit at the lender.

Generally, the costs associated with it are no greater than you’d incur if you sold your home to free up the equity, but shop the market for the lowest closing costs. Also, there are several programs – some government sponsored while others are private – and you’ll want to review all your options. Again, don’t do a R.M. just because you want to take the money and invest it hoping to “beat the market” or speculate you’ll make a higher return than the loan is costing. Also, make sure you get professional help by talking to your banker or financial advisor before proceeding.
