Reduce Debt from Citizens Financial Group

Tips to Reduce Post-Holiday Debt from Citizens Financial Group

The holidays are a festive time of year, but often spending goes unchecked and can potentially lead to troublesome financial situations. Start the year on solid financial ground with helpful tips from Citizens Financial Group.

Providence, R.I. (PRWEB) January 29, 2008 -- The holidays are a festive time of year, but often spending goes unchecked and can potentially lead to troublesome financial situations. Start the year on solid financial ground with helpful tips from Citizens Financial Group.

Below are a few simple ways to reduce and eliminate post-holiday debt before the situation becomes unmanageable:

•    Establish a monthly budget - Record all of your on-going expenses, as well as your outstanding debt on a spreadsheet, so you can see where your money is really going. Include dates that payments are due, minimum payments and credit card interest rates. Once the necessities have been paid, prioritize which bills you will pay off next. Eliminate balances on high interest credit cards and pay more than the minimum on the rest if possible. Open a savings account with the money remaining from your budget each month.
 
 
•    Investigate alternative borrowing options - An important thing to consider is whether to consolidate all your debt into one monthly payment. If needed, opening a home equity loan or line of credit can lower your interest rate, which will reduce monthly payments and give you fewer bills to pay each month. Consolidation can also make budgeting much easier. 
 
 
•    Look to the future - The new year offers an opportunity to act as a 'clean slate' from previous spending mistakes. Take this opportunity to get a copy of your credit report and make sure that everything is being reported fairly. Consumers should get a free copy of their credit report once a year. Also, take stock of the number of credit cards in your wallet. If possible, reduce the number of credit cards to avoid re-accumulating debt. 
 
 
•    Start saving - Once you have paid off all of your credit cards, look into contributing to a high interest money market account or certificate of deposit. By establishing a variety of investments, your financial portfolio will be more diversified and you will be better prepared to meet your financial goals in the future.
 
 
•    Plan ahead for the next holiday season - Develop a realistic budget, contribute money to a savings account throughout the year and spend only what you can afford.

Southern Beauty Magazine

Southern Beauty

by Fern Siegel , Wednesday, February 13, 2008
MOST OF US WILL never see an android, unless they improve time travel. Since we can't master Amtrak, I'm not hopeful. However, for sci-fi fans, there's a cheaper alternative: the cover of Southern Beauty. Nancy O'Dell of "Access Hollywood" hasn't just been airbrushed, she's been sandblasted. Is this what Southern women do? Scarlett O'Hara had her bewitching ways, while Blanche DuBois preferred indirect lighting, but neither let a high-powered industrial vaporizer near her creamy mien. And I'm doubtful any real-life Southern belle would either.

First, we have to decide: Is beauty regional? I ask rhetorically. Beauty is a subjective call. From what I read, O'Dell sounds like a down-to-earth woman. Best of all, the two inside photos indicate she has -- brace yourself -- facial lines. Just like a real person! I especially liked her take on beauty, defined as "how you treat others." You go, girl.

In fact, one recurring feature here is that several profiled women, including country-music singer Laura Byrna, are community-minded. In Byrna's case, she's involved with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, much as O'Dell is devoted to Best Buddies, which helps those with Down syndrome.

Still, Southern Beauty is, first and foremost, about body care -- hair, face, skin. Its tips apply to anyone whose address is planet Earth. The articles, like many beauty mags, often double as shills for products, but some were genuinely helpful. Makeup works; it's the maintenance that's killing. Not just daily, but often hourly. Getting the eyeliner, eye shadow, blush, lip gloss and hair gel right is no small trick. I miss college. In those halcyon days, you could wash your hair and run out the door. Everyone was thin, pretty and hopeful. When does optimism fade? The moment you have to pay your own rent. Or realize that time marches on -- usually across your face.

In the "Real Women, Real Issues, Real Beauty" feature, the women are divvied up by age: 20s, 30, 40s, Ageless. The before-and-after results are impressive. The 40s candidate morphed into a freshly scrubbed 14 after her makeover. SB didn't just make her look better, it defied gravity!

Also, wigs are apparently a hot trend right now, though I don't know anyone, except Cher, whose devotion is almost religious in fervor. As for the key pedicure Q&A: Do you shave your legs before getting one? Just say no. Like Giuliani should have done, when someone suggested he run for president. Pundits pored over his failed campaign, but it's a no-brainer. If your kids don't like you, neither will anyone else.

I was also confused by the "Soul Sister" piece, in which a young woman says her "perfect" life has been turned upside-down. Her fiancé is on his second tour of Iraq -- and she wants to know why God chose them to endure such agony? Honey, it's not God. It's George W. Bush. He made the decision to declare war. Whether you agree with it or not, is a personal matter. But why blame God for man's failings? That's added stress, which, according to SB, shows.

So trust Trish McEvoy, the renowned makeup artist. When asked to name the most important product she carries, McEvoy didn't hesitate: "concealer." If you ask me, it answers every question.

Non-Pharmaceutical Alternative to Alleviate Arthritis Pain

Arthritis Suffers Now Have an Easy, Safe, Non-Pharmaceutical Alternative to Alleviate Pain

AmazingSoap.com announces its new Arthritis Relief Soap. The all-natural product contains MSM (MethySulfonyMethane), a naturally occurring sulfur compound scientifically proven to relieve arthritis, muscle and joint pain.

Jackson, CA NC  -  November 12, 2007 -- Arthritis suffers now have a non-pharmaceutical alternative to alleviate pain -- AmazingSoap.com offers a new all natural soap product to provide safe, affordable relief from arthritis symptoms.

AmazingSoap.com announces its new Arthritis Relief Soap. The all-natural product contains MSM (MethySulfonyMethane), a naturally occurring sulfur compound scientifically proven to
relieve arthritis, muscle and joint pain.

With an unpredictable and potentially
dangerous prescription drug market, Arthritis sufferers may find it difficult to depend on a medication to bring them safe relief of symptoms. Amazing Soap's Arthritis Relief Soap utilizes the power of the MSM compound, which is found naturally within the human body, to help get the pain under control.

People have been using MSM as a healing agent for centuries, but it has only been within the last 20 years that doctors have realized its potential for
treating arthritis.

Rather than dealing with the
potential side effects of prescription drugs, as well as the high cost of the medications and multiple doctor visits, Arthritis Relief Soap provides a convenient and safe alternative. With a subtle peppermint fragrance, arthritis sufferers can also get a break from the typical unpleasant smelling joint creams.

By simply using the soap during a bath or shower, the MSM is absorbed directly into the skin, allowing the healing properties to work. When used in the morning, the soap has been shown to provide relief from aches and pains throughout the day. Nighttime use helps the user to rest more comfortably.

"We are very proud to add Arthritis Relief Soap to our unique collection of health and wellness soaps. Each soap we offer is less than $3, which means relief from
arthritis symptoms is available without a prescription, without a doctor's appointment, for less than $3. It is an honor to be able to provide a healthy and affordable alternative to arthritis sufferers," Rick Garloff, AmazingSoap.com sales manager, said.

Amazing Soap, LLC launched on July 7, 2007. Each Amazing Soap product is put through rigorous testing to meet or exceed government regulations. Visit www.amazingsoap.com for more information.

Financial Advisor Helps Investors Build Income

Building a Nest Egg for Your Golden Years -- Financial Advisor Helps Investors Build Income Streams in the Second Half of Life

Many Baby Boomers are waking up to the reality that this ain't their father's retirement. With Americans living longer and healthier lives and still retiring at 62 (or many times younger) they're finding that a gold pen and pension aren't getting them as far as they expected. Many Baby Boomers have discovered that the money they saved in retirement accounts may not outlast their lives. But according to Arthur Cooper, an Irvine-based CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, a few simple steps can help investors build a nest egg for their golden years.

Irvine, CA (PRWEB) September 20, 2007 -- Many Baby Boomers are waking up to the reality that this ain't their father's retirement. With Americans living longer and healthier lives and still retiring at 62 (or many times younger) they're finding that a gold pen and pension aren't getting them as far as they expected. Many Baby Boomers have discovered that the money they saved in retirement accounts may not outlast their lives. But according to Arthur Cooper, an Irvine-based CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, a few simple steps can help investors build a nest egg for their golden years.

"Most people believe that saving more money is the only way to rectify their fear of running out of money during their retirement years," says Cooper. "While that is always a smart option, developing a withdrawal plan with the help of a financial professional may be a better way to go. You certainly do not want your money to run out before you do."

According to Cooper, accumulating money for retirement is the easy part -- it's distributing that money that often creates problems for retirees. "Many investors think that once they've reached retirement age, it's time to kick back and simply withdraw the money they have accumulated. That's simply not true. Even in retirement, they will likely still have to budget to ensure their money lasts as long as they might."

Cooper believes these six tips can assist investors preparing for their golden years:

SIX SEGMENTS TO INCOME PLANNING
"Putting your assets into six segments will help investors plan for lifetime income," says Cooper. "The most conservative segment receives the largest deposit while the successive five segments receive varying lesser percentages, totaling 100% of deposits." Under the Income for Life™ model, as the deposit gets smaller, the asset class gets more aggressive. This means that a smaller amount of their portfolio is held in riskier investments, thus helping to provide a more stable source of income, from the most conservative portion of their portfolio.

IN RETIREMENT, THERE ARE SOME GUARANTEES
"It is possible to create a guaranteed income stream by utilizing a single premium immediate annuity or FDIC Insured banking products for a five year period," advises Cooper. According to Cooper, for every subsequent five-year period, one of the other five segments will be converted into a guaranteed income strategy with sixty monthly payouts. "If the projected rates of return are realized, sufficient money will be available to provide guaranteed income in amounts capable of providing an increasing level of retirement income." Guarantees are backed by the claims paying ability of the issuer.

SYSTEM OF SURVIVAL
According to Cooper, "Once you retire, your nest egg will likely seem like a never-ending supply of cash that you've been waiting to spend since you started accumulating it. But you still have to pay attention to how the market is performing. If you are withdrawing from a growth investment in a down year, you'll not only be drawing down your nest egg, but your portfolio won't be able to recover because it's losing value both from market conditions and your living expenses. Developing a systematic withdrawal strategy will allow you to take pre-determined periodic withdrawals from a portfolio of stocks, bonds, or mutual funds and still potentially have income for life."

LESS NOW CAN MEAN MORE LATER
"The most important advice I can give clients is to take less income when they begin drawing from their retirement accounts," advises Cooper. "By taking less at the beginning, you're allowing more of your investments to grow, theoretically leaving you more money for your later retirement years."

DON'T FORGET ABOUT INFLATION
Inflation is a naturally occurring economic event, yet most investors fail to plan properly to allow for it. "Just because you live on $3,000 a month today, doesn't mean you can live on the same amount 15 years from now," advises Cooper. "History shows that inflation can make $3,000 in theory turn into significantly less than that in practice."

DON'T BE AFRAID TO GET HELP
A financial professional can help map out a strategy for generating income that outlasts your life including inflation estimates and income distribution scenarios.

Paperless Payday Loan Provider Pushes Industry

Ground Breaking Payday Loan Provider Pushes Industry Boundaries

Cash Doctors, Australia's largest online payday loan provider has raised the bar for its industry. With recent system upgrades the company is providing urgent cash relief to thousands of Australians nationwide faster than any other provider.

Gold Coast, QLD (PRWEB) December 11, 2007 -- Cash Doctors has set themselves apart from their industry by giving their clients exactly what they want, when they want it. With a recently upgraded system, Cash Doctors' new clients are receiving loans within the hour, and returning clients within seconds. As a result, the Gold Coast-based online short-term loan company is now providing nationwide $100 - $600 loans, faster than any other Australian lender.

cash transfer systems. These upgrades have allowed their clients near instant access to their loan, faster than any other online payday loan provider in Australia.

Previously, people in need of a instant cash fix had to wait at least 24 hours before their payday advance could be transferred into their account, and even longer for a check to clear. Now Cash Doctors is providing
instant cash relief to those who need it most.

With it's company policies based around a shared experience with the customers, Cash Doctors aim to help out it's customers in both the short and long term is right on the mark. "Having been in the very same situation ourselves in years gone by, we understand our clients need for an instant cash fix," says Ellis.

Keeping in line with their client welfare based policies, Cash Doctors also publishes finance articles, e-books, and news designed to keep their clients financially informed and in turn, help them have
money to live freely.

Through the provision of instant cash relief within seconds, Cash Doctors has upped the standards of the payday loan industry. With their exceptionally short transfer times and the publishing of
finance documents such as articles and e-books, it is evident that client welfare is central to every process within the company, and is exemplified by the availability of short-term loans being readily available to those who need it most.

Personal Injury Lawyer Leader Among Female Attorneys

Carol L. Schlitt, New York Personal Injury Lawyer, Celebrates 21 Years as a Leader Among Female Attorneys

Carol L. Schlitt, a noted New York personal injury attorney, celebrates her 21st year as a leader in the male dominated legal profession. A past winner of the New York Municipal Attorney of the Year, Ms. Schlitt discusses her career as a lawyer and the challenges that she and all women face in the field.

Huntington, NY (PRWEB) September 13, 2007 -- Carol L. Schlitt has just celebrated her twenty-first year as an attorney and she remains a leader among female attorneys in New York. When Ms. Schlitt graduated from St. John's Law School in 1986, women attorneys had to swim against the tide of male dominance. The American Bar Association (ABA) reports that women comprised only 13 percent of all attorneys in 1985. Today, the ABA finds that women account for 29 percent of all attorneys and that number continues to climb.

"I can remember when I first ventured into a Bronx court room how it felt like the very definition of "an old boy's club," Ms. Schlitt recalled in a recent interview. "Most of the men were nice, though women had to work twice as hard and be twice as good to earn their respect." Ms. Schlitt smiles at the memory. "It helped that I knew sports; to this day, I remain a die-hard Mets and football Giants fan."

According to the ABA report, the legal profession remains a male-dominated world, even though women account for an increasingly large number of students in law school. "It is good to see more women entering the field, but we need to continue to push our way to the top of the profession," says Ms. Schlitt. "Too often, women are viewed as not aggressive enough, not serious or too emotional. It is wrong and it drives me crazy." Ms. Schlitt cites her own cases where she bested some of the City's best male attorneys. "I beat them not because I was a woman and they were men, I beat them because I did the better job on those cases."

After graduating from law school, Ms. Schlitt worked for the New York City Law Department (a.k.a. the Corporation Counsel). "We were the lawyers for the City of New York. I love New York and loved defending the City." She handled many of the City's largest and most famous cases and became an expert on motor vehicle cases. "They gave me responsibility for the Jackie Robinson Parkway because it was such a treacherous road and had so many accidents." While the City hired many female attorneys, all the senior positions went to men. "As a woman, you had to prove yourself over and over." Ms. Schlitt did well for her client and was named the New York Municipal Attorney of the Year by the Association of the Bar of the City of New York.

Ms. Schlitt remains a leader in the field and a role model for female attorneys. She is well known in the courts and her verdicts have been cited in the press and earned as among the highest awards in New York City. "I started my own firm in 1998," she said, seeking a way to make more of a connection with her clients and to serve them better. "Maybe it's because I am a woman, but winning a big verdict is only part of the job. I enjoy the connections I make with my clients. I think the personal services, the relationships, matter just as much as the large awards."

Asked about the challenges of running her solo practice law firm (The Law Office of Carol L Schlitt), Ms. Schlitt said, "Like all businesswomen, I have to keep learning to keep up with changes in the law and the business world. And the technology keeps changing too, creating both challenges and opportunities." Her firm has a web site that both attracts and serves clients.

Like many women, Ms. Schlitt wears many hats. She is a noted trial attorney who specializes in personal injury law; she is a business woman, a mother of three boys and a wife. "All women struggle to find the balance between our careers, our families and our personal lives. It is never easy, but it is rewarding." Ms. Schlitt serves as a mentor to young female attorneys, offering advice and lending a helping hand such as well as volunteering her time as a moot court judge. "People gave me advice when I was young and starting out; I want to return the favor."

Asked if she thinks she can relax after all her years of success, Ms. Schlitt shakes her head. "I fight harder now than ever, not just for myself, not just to advance the cause of women attorneys, but because that's what I owe my clients." Given her success as a personal injury attorney, Carol Schlitt's fight seems to be paying off nicely.
