This goes out to all the idiots who answered me before saying take your personal problems elsewhere, or i was dooped for having a 5th grade education. But actually i have 0,000 term life insurance, max out my Roth IRA everymonth, and have my own Primerica business. So for all you EMPLOYEES, or corporate slaves, i ask you, how much are you putting into your Roth? And lets not lie now, ok. Oh yea can you tell me what the rule of 72 is? Have fun at your 9-5.

What is your opinion of VUL? Variable Universal Life?

I know their fees are ridiculously high and their returns aren’t anything special. I feel that it’s smarter to buy term life insurance and invest in no load mutual funds versus putting money somewhere that charges fees for everything.

For primary residences,

So if you have a house and sell it for 500k you will need to pay 17,500.

Is that true?

Thanks

Should I get a financial planner?

I am trying to find out if I need a financial planner. I’m 32 years old, both my wife and i have good jobs, we own our home, have no credit card debt, no car payments and a decent savings.

I have done ok for myself without a financial planner, however accept for the 4.75 interest on my savings, my money is not doing anything.

I am scared at the idea of a financial planner. I am not sure I will be comfortable with some one telling me what I should do with money.

The flip side is that just like any one, I would love to have more money for the future.

Can anyone offer any advice that might change my opinion about hiring a financial planner?

questions about refinancing home mortgage? ?

with the fed cutting the rates so low, now would be a good time to think about refinancing right? my mortgage interest rate is currently 6.25 fixed, i think we owe about ,000 on it. my husband and i have excellent credit, and we’ve been in our home for 5 years. would refinancing lower our monthly payment significantly, how much does it cost to refinance?
oh weve also paid our mortgage through march, so how would that work if we did decide to refinance?

Refinance?

With prime rate continually decreasing would it be wise to refinance my mortgage. Just bought the house in July and my rate is decent, but over time a decrease would help.

Does it affect property taxes? Will I pay closing cost? Lower monthly payment?

What would be pros vs cons?
Thanks! I’m with Countrywide and they sent me to a mortgage broker (?) she said that to have no closing cost or points the rate wouldn’t be the lowest b/c they have to pay for title work etc. I hve no prepayment penalty either.

Agreed he has not been in good form and has probably lost all respect and trust of his team-mates after the release of his book but still this guy has been the pillar of South Africa’s tremendous success, scoring at a blitz rate and giving the side the cyclonic start in pressure games (vs Australia 438) when required. A brilliant fielder at point, a gutsy batsman…don’t you think RSA should have given this man another chance so as to bring in the experience of this class player. I agree there’s not enough time to settle the differences between Smith, Kallis, De Villiers, Boucher and Gibbs but Gibbs wanted to continue till the World Cup. Shouldn’t the former players needed to step-in and help alleviate the situation in the interest of South Africa?

Your thoughts please?

I am on the Marine Temporary Disabled Retirement List. During "DTAP" I vaguely recall a warning not to reveal (not disability, but) receipt of pension to future employers as they may discriminate salary-wise. Theory being that employers often pay "retirees" less because its assumed our financial need is primarily met by the other income. (1st question: is this founded and how will I find out since its uncouth/prohibited to discuss salary with co-workers?) Additionally, I just received orders to report to my 1st periodic exam. I do not want to have to use my vaction/sick/personal days (my employer groups them) for -military orders-. (2nd part of the question; can they count the day or two taken for this against my earned time off?) Finally, my orders mention that failure to report could result in termination of pension & benefits. (Given answers to 1 & 2; 3rd part: do I risk providing this info since it will probably be necessary to avoid expending earned time off?) Thank you!

Our current 30-year mortgage is at 5.25% but I think we could get it down below 5%. We’re about 5 years into this 30-year mortgage and haven’t missed a payment (and don’t expect to). Here are my questions:
A) Even if we got a loan down to under 5%, would it be appreciably different over the long-term from a financial standpoint?
B) Are banks in existence that would allow a couple to refinance and pay zero fees? Over the course of even 15 years, banks make a lot of money from interest… why charge someone a fee? I realize it’s not up to me.
C) If we maintain our 30-year mortgage… say we don’t wind up refinancing… does it save a person/couple a lot if they were to pay one or two extra payments a year? Loan amount 200k, interest 5.25%.

Any advice appreciated.
First responder: no, that site didn’t help. Why would you waste that 10 seconds of my life FOR me? Idiot.
