Warning signs for holiday credit card debt

 

Looking for a gift that always fits and doesn't require wrapping? How about a new year that's free from lingering credit card debt?
For many, staying out of debt at this time of year is about as easy as losing 10 pounds. But it's actually quite simple: Know how much you owe. Read your credit card statements. Keep a budget.

Tips for Preparing an Offer in Compromise

 

The IRS’s offer in compromise program allows taxpayers facing financial hardships to settle their outstanding tax liability for pennies on the dollar.
The amount the IRS will accept is dependent upon a stringent formula, but the variables are subject to massage. When working with the agency to get a compromise approved, there are things about your story that the IRS should know in order to move it in the direction of acceptance.
The IRS will always consider the statute of limitations when evaluating an offer since it has 10 years to collect an outstanding tax debt. If you are between jobs and have no means to pay your tax bill but there’s eight years left before the statute runs out, the IRS will likely want to deem you ‘currently not collectable’ for a year rather than accept a reduced amount. This is especially true if you are young and healthy with good prospects

Are 4% Mortgage Rates the new Norm?

Mortgage rates climbed for the sixth week in a row, making refinancers and potential homebuyers nervous. If it serves as consolation, rates are likely to stabilize for a few days until the Federal Reserve meets next week.
The benchmark 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rose to 4.14%, compared with 4.1% last week, according to the Bankrate.com national survey of large lenders. The mortgages in this week's survey had an average total of 0.32 discount and origination points. One year ago, that rate stood at 3.91%. Four weeks ago, it was 3.71%.
Compare Mortgage Rates in Your Area
In early May, the fixed rate was 3.52%. It had been below 4% since May 2012 -- for more than a year -- up until the first week of June 2013.

    Why We’re So Irrational When It Comes to Tax RefundsThink about it:

    http://business.time.com/2013/03/18/why-were-so-irrational-when-it-comes-to-tax-refunds/

     

    A tax refund is just that — a refund of your own hard-earned money. It’s not a gift or a stroke of good fortune. The problem is that most people don’t look at tax refunds this way.


    Most Americans—a full 75%—receive refunds after filing their taxes. In other words, most Americans have too much money withheld from their paychecks. More than half of Americans—58%, to be exact—say they intentionally plan to receive a refund each year. Understandably, people do so to avoid an unexpected tax payment come April 15, with the idea that it’s better to withhold a bit more to be on the safe side. But the average tax refund will be over $2,800 this year — well beyond “a bit more.”

    National Foreclosures Up for Second Straight Month, But Still Lower Than Before Housing Bust

    http://www.latinospost.com/articles/16404/20130411/national-foreclosures-up-second-straight-month-still-lower-before-housing.htm 


    By Erik Derr |
    Florida, Nevada and Illinois led the nation in March with the highest foreclosure rates for the first quarter, while foreclosures nationally dropped to the lowest point since 2007, before the hopusing market meltdown, according to data from real estate market analyst Realty Trac and the first quarter U.S. Market Report.
    Like Us on Facebook
    Florida had the most March foreclosures of any state-one in every 104 housing units, or nearly three times the national average, ABC News reports.
    Foreclosure starts across the United States increased 2 percent from February to March, the second straight monthly increase following three consecutive monthly decreases, the Realty Trac numbers indicated.

    How to Tame Health-Care Costs in Retirement

    Do you worry about your health care costs after you retire?
    You should.
    Americans' out-of-pocket medical spending in retirement can vary widely, but generally the numbers are big-and they have gotten a lot bigger over the past several years.
    "Even though most American retirees benefit from Medicare coverage, a mounting body of research predicts that many will face large and increasing out-of-pocket expenditures for healthcare costs in retirement and that many already struggle to finance these costs," according to a recent study of consumer health care spending expectations in the American Journal of Law & Medicine.

    Student Loan Borrowers Leaving Lots of Money on the Table

     

    "I'm still trying to get my head around some concepts that I heard today," said Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.), a member of the House Workforce and Education Committee, "that irrespective of the amount of money you borrow or the interest rate, that you'll still end up paying the same amount."
    "Wow, somehow that doesn't seem possible," said Republican Rep. John Kline of Minnesota, the committee chairman.
    The committee members were responding to testimony given last month by Jason Delisle at a March 13 congressional hearing in which Delisle spoke about the Department of Education's income-based student loan repayment (IBR) program.
    But Grijalva and Kline aren't the only ones unaware of the benefits of IBR. As it turns out, they are in the majority, a fact that prompted the White House to issue a 2012 statement concluding that "Too few responsible borrowers are aware of their repayment options."
