Only 25% Intend to Retire at Retirement Age

May 10, 2017 by Tim McMahon

Every two years Gallup does a survey and asks working age adults if they intend to retire once they reach “full retirement age”. This is the age set by the Social Security department for when you qualify for retirement benefits. In years past this was 65 years old, but in an effort to salvage the Social Security system they extended the age. If you were born in 1937 or earlier full retirement age is still 65 but if you were born in 1960 or later full retirement age is 67. And in between, full retirement age gradually increases from 65 to 67. See the Social Security Administration’s Benefit By Year Of Birth chart.

Gallup Survey Results

In the 2017 survey, 25% of the respondents said they plan to retire as soon as they are eligible. And on the other end of the spectrum [Read more…] about Only 25% Intend to Retire at Retirement Age

Data Entry as a Career Choice

May 2, 2017 by Guest Contributor

If you enjoy typing and are able to type relatively quickly, you might want  to try your luck with a data entry job. It is a wide field that provides a great opportunity to learn different things and test your typing skills. However, don’t get fooled by the numerous data entry work from home scams and examine your opportunities carefully, especially if you lack experience.

Although not every work-at-home job is a way to engage you in illegal actions, the fact is that even legitimate offers are paid less than working from an office. Also, you must be informed about the data entry range, as transcription jobs are sometimes presented as part of a data entry service.

There is a lot to think about before applying for a data entry position. Therefore, avoid pointless job offerings and find a suitable data entry job by approaching this area of business armed with the proper knowledge. [Read more…] about Data Entry as a Career Choice

Don’t Let Your Social Security Claim Be Denied

April 30, 2017 by Tim McMahon

Social Security Claim DeniedDo you need to apply for social security disability or retirement benefits? In some cases, these claims are denied. To avoid a social security claim denial, be sure to follow the application instructions exactly. For Disability claims go to https://www.ssa.gov/disabilityssi/

You can log in or create a “my Social Security” account to check the Status of Your Application online.

Your application status shows:

  • Your Re-entry number for pending online benefit application or online appeal that has not been submitted;
  • The date they received your application or appeal;
  • Scheduled Hearing date and time;
  • Current claim or appeal location including the address of the office processing your application; and
  • If a decision has been made.

You cannot check the status of your application online if you do not have a my Social Security account. 

According to Motley Fool, “one-third of disability applications are denied” and they provide 8 Reasons Your Application Might be Denied. The top 2 reasons are:

1. You don’t have enough “working credits” to qualify.

2. You make too much money.

To properly file a claim or appeal a decision, you may need to:

Housing Ace: 5 Ways to Prepare for a Job in Real Estate

April 6, 2017 by Tim McMahon

Being a real estate agent can be a really great career for the right person. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) the median salary for a Real Estate agent is $45,610 per year. Real estate brokers and sales agents help clients buy, sell, and rent properties. Although brokers and agents do similar work, brokers are licensed to manage their own real estate businesses. Sales agents must work with a real estate broker. Generally, you must be an agent for a while before becoming a broker.

According to the BLS, “Brokers and agents can represent either the buyer or the seller in a transaction. Buyers’ brokers and agents meet with clients to understand what they are looking for in a property and how much they can afford. Sellers’ brokers and agents meet with clients to help them decide how much to ask for and to convince them that the agent or broker can find them a qualified buyer.

Real estate brokers and sales agents must be knowledgeable about the real estate market in their area. To match properties to clients’ needs, they should be familiar with local communities, including knowing the crime information and the proximity to schools and shopping. Brokers and agents also must stay current on financing options; government programs; types of available mortgages; and real estate, zoning, and fair housing laws.”

The hours are unusual since you may be showing homes when other people are off of work. Since you work on commission you may work for long periods without getting paid and then receive a large paycheck all at once. Some years are better than others depending on the overall market in your area. You must be self-motivated and a “people person”. But for the right individual this can be an excellent career choice.

Tradesmen Needed: Essential Services Make Good Job Prospects

February 9, 2017 by Tim McMahon

At one time or another, every part of your home will need repair or replacement. From the electrical wiring to the plumbing and heating and cooling systems, anything can break down or wear out. These essential parts of your home require a great deal of knowledge, skill and experience to repair. A novice could easily become injured or cause even more damage to the appliance or house. Consider these four essential services that you cannot live without as good job prospects.

Heating and Cooling

No matter where you live, your home needs a source of heat and some type of ventilation and cooling. Furnaces, boilers and heat pumps use a fuel such as natural gas, propane or electricity. These systems also have many mechanical parts. An experienced heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) technician works to ensure that this critical part of your home is operating safely and efficiently. So as long people need heated and air-conditioned homes HVAC Technicians will have jobs. The median annual wage for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics and installers was $45,110 in May 2015.  According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) “Employment of heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics and installers is projected to grow 14 percent from 2014 to 2024, much faster than the average for all occupations. Candidates familiar with computers and electronics and those with good troubleshooting skills will have the best job opportunities as employers continue to have difficulty finding qualified technicians to install, maintain, and repair complex new systems.”  [Read more…] about Tradesmen Needed: Essential Services Make Good Job Prospects

Social Security Benefits: Planning for Your Future

January 26, 2017 by Guest Contributor

Social SecuritySocial Security is the common name for the United States federal government’s Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI). The program guarantees the nation’s most vulnerable citizens can depend on a minimum sustenance and care support. Taxpayers fund Social Security through payroll taxes, self-employment contributions, and IRS investment of these funds into special government trusts. The Social Security Cost of Living Act (COLA) guarantees increases in benefits amounts to account for inflation but in recent years the official inflation rate has been low enough that they have not given Cost of Living increases. Americans become eligible to draw Social Security benefits when they reach age 62 but depending on the year you were born you may not get full benefits until you are 67 (or older). To ensure you will receive your full Social Security benefits when the time comes, you need to begin planning for your future now.
