Sorry for the short post, but sometimes things are better when they are brief (don’t tell the search engines that). Anyway I just got an email from Thrillist which surprised me. Usually they send emails about cool happenings in your city and new services that are springing up. However, today they mentioned a new site called Covestor, get it Co and Investor together ( let me guess coinvestor.com was taken ).
Here is what Covestor is all about.
A few months back I decided to leave the comfort of full time employment and venture on my own. One of the most common concerns from coworkers, family, and friends was what are you going to do about health insurance. To tell you the truth the thought had not crossed my mind much. I am a young guy in relatively good shape (damn beer gut) and tend not to frequent the doctors office much.
The other day I was riding my bike when a lady stepped in front of me. I took a bit of a spill scraped up my side and elbow. What I realized lately is that I have been riding my bike much more gingerly. My subconscious is making me realize that I do not have health insurance and the next fall could set me back significantly when it comes to my personal finance.
With the average cost of a night stay in a hospital at almost $6,000 dollars I cannot afford not be covered.
I came up with this checklist of questions to ask yourself when buying personal health insurance.
Foreclosure House Buying Guide for HUD and Bank Foreclosures
I am someone who believes no matter what the economy is doing you can turn lemons into lemonade. Buying Real Estate Foreclosures through auctions or listings is exactly that in this market. Don’t get me wrong, it is unfortunate that so many people can no longer afford their house due to foreclosures and have to put it for sale, but at the same time this is a great opportunity for people looking to invest in real estate or renters looking to own a home for the first time. HUD Foreclosures and Bank Foreclosures are the best way to get a great deal on a new home.
Here in San Francisco, California in some areas homes have increased by over 5% this year despite the credit and mortgage crisis. There are many other areas of the country where housing is still booming including Arizona, Houston, Massachusetts, San Diego, and Florida. Below is your guide to using sites like RealtyStore.com, RealtyTrac.com, and Foreclosures.com to get the best of deals on listings and auctions when buying Real Estate Foreclosures.
Ameriprise Career is nothing but a glorified pyramid scheme. Just so you know this is not the opinion of a disgruntled customer, but is a compilation of my experiences along with those of my friends who have worked for Ameriprise, or what was once American Express Financial Advisors until they had to spin them off due to them tarnishing the brand name. Some of the details may vary by office and region, but the basics are the same. Do not start a career with Ameriprise or give them money until you read this.
