Why Make Time for a Mid-Year Financial Checkup.

 

It There is an antidote to the anxiety and uncertainty that often mounts as the calendar advances through summer, fall, winter...and inevitably, into tax season. It's called the mid-year financial checkup, and it won't require a doctor's visit, just a quick troubleshooting self-exam to confirm you're on the right track financially in key areas like credit rating, debt management, tax liability, and retirement planning.

 

As 2011 approaches its midpoint, the little bit of time it takes to perform such an exam could save you plenty of money and spare you lots of angst later, says Philip Herzberg, a Miami-based CFP®. "The benefits are plenty, and you can do it more quickly than you might think."  Learn More...

SBA Urges Disaster Survivors to Beware of Recovery 

The U.S. Small Business Administration is urging disaster victims seeking federal aid to be alert to scam artists posing as federal officials and to be cautious about any solicitations for fees to perform services that are available from federal agency staff for free.

In the wake of widespread flooding, wildfires and tornados in many areas across the country over the past few months, the SBA is particularly concerned about flyers that have appeared in tornado-damaged areas asking for non-refundable fees of up to $450 to help disaster victims fill out their loan applications and as much as $1,000 to verify losses and file loan applications.  To learn more, click here...
