<span>Personal loans have many benefits and uses because they have very few limits on what they can be used for. However there are certain things that it is recommended that you avoid using a personal loan to finance.</span><br><br>1. Paying off another loan: while a personal loan can be used to pay off other loans like student loans the interest rates on a student loan can be lower than those of the personal loan so borrowing the money can cost you more in the long run. The sudden additional money that comes into your budget due to the loan can cause you to spend it in other places and then when it comes time to pay back the personal loan you are right back where you started from.<br><br>2. Vacation: when taking out loans you want to consider using the money on things that will last, while a vacation is nice its a better idea to save up for it rather than spend years paying for it afterwards. If you are able to figure out the finances to take out a loan then chances are you can work around your budget to pay for a vacation without the loan.<br><br>3. Certain home repairs: taking out a personal loan for some home remodeling is recommended, but in some other cases it might make more sense to take out a home equity loan.

The main difference between Term Life Insurance and Whole
life insurance lies in what happens to the money.<br><br>
In Term Life Insurance, you pay the monthly or yearly fee.
If you die when the policy is active and paid, then your family will be covered
and receive the amount which you have insured. If you don't die before the
policy expires, you (or your family) receive nothing. <br>
The premiums are lower than Whole Life Insurance but they
change as you age.<br><br>
Whole Life Insurance (AKA Cash-Value Insurance) has both
insurance policy and Investment account.<br><br>
The premiums are higher than Term Life Insurance but they
are fixed (you pay the same premium even when you age). If you die, your family
receives the death benefit but you can also cash the money when you are older
or retired.<br>

There are some really great benefits to taking out a home equity loan. First because the loan has a fixed interest rate there will be no fluctuation as the economy changes. The money that you borrow in a home equity loan can be used to pay off credit cards and will help you to consolidate all your debt into a single payment that you make monthly. Even though the interest rate on a home equity loan may be higher than that of your mortgage it will still be lower than if you were to use credit cards to pay off your mortgage. And finally the interest on the loan may be tax deductible and depending on the use of the loan you may be eligible for leeway in deducting the interest.<br><br>At the same time there are a few things that you have to keep in mind before you take out the loan. When you take out a home equity loan you are borrowing a whole lump sum unlike home equity line of credit in which you only borrow as much as you need. You will want to be careful what you spend the money on, if you were to spend the money on remodeling your house then you have a greater chance of the value of your house appreciating as opposed to buying a car that as soon as you drive it off the lot beings to depreciate in value. Probably the most important thing to keep in mind is that when you take out a home equity loan your house is held as collateral so in the case that you are unable to make payments then you will lose your house.

That's a good question, but one no one can answer without knowing a lot more about your situation, your goals and your risk tolerance. Fixya is not the place for that kind of advice. You need to find a Fiduciary financial planner to have a lengthy conversation. In most cases, the answer to your question will be yes, invest early and invest regularly, but, again, you need to talk to a professional and make a plan you can live with now and live off of later. Good luck.

When you get a new credit card, it will come with detailed instructions for activating it. You must verify that it was delivered to the person it was intended for usually by calling the issuer or by logging in to the issuer's web site.

Use Google, you will find all of the information that you need. Much more than anyone can give you on Fixya. Good luck with your report. One more word of advice, write the report in your own words, don' t just copy and paste the words you find on the internet. That would be plagiarism.

No, you can not transfer your IRA to anyone else unless you die or liquidate it and pay the taxes and penalties. In any event, it would not produce earned income for your wife. You can, however, borrow money from your IRA and repay it with interest to yourself. That is often better than borrowing from a bank anyway.

Hi Kathy,
If you have paid, it wouldn’t be possible to cancel payment as it’s already been made. You would have to attempt to get a refund.
If you decide to paid in advance, it would be prudent to ensure the details of what service you’re looking for are as explicitly detailed as possible in a contract. If the service received is not aligned to the contract, you could have legal recourse to getting some/all of your money returned (less the legal costs of pursuing a claim).
I would recommend not paying in advance. Pay in instalments and verify quality of service along the way.
Good luck.
