Retirement Planning for Wealthy Americans Should Focus On Time, Not Money, PNC Expert Says

Retirement Planning for Wealthy Americans Should Focus On Time, Not Money, PNC Expert Says

Most wealthy Americans would be better served by focusing on time rather than assets in their retirement planning, PNC Wealth Management concluded as the result of its fifth annual Wealth and Values Survey released today.

Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) March 3, 2009

Most wealthy Americans would be better served by focusing on time rather than assets in their retirement planning, PNC Wealth Management (https://www. pnc. com/webapp/unsec/ProductsAndService. do? siteArea=/PNC/Home/Personal/Investments+and+Wealth+Management/Investments+and+Wealth+Management) concluded as the result of its fifth annual Wealth and Values Survey released today.

PNC also found one-third are either behind, uncertain or have no retirement goal in the survey's first-ever introspective into life after work among the nation's affluent.

The survey of 1,263 wealthy Americans, all of whom had at least $500,000 in investable assets, revealed that 15 percent say "I am saving as much as I can, but I am not sure I will meet my goal." Another 11 percent report they are behind schedule in their contributions and 8 percent do not have a retirement goal.

Among the prepared, 50 percent are confident they will reach their retirement goals. Another 17 percent say, "I am ahead of schedule and may end up surpassing my goal."
The survey revealed other attitudes about wealthy Americans' views of what retirement means to them, what they hope to do with their retirement and advice from wealthy retirees for peers who are still working.

Paul Gaudio, a senior wealth planner with PNC Wealth Management in Princeton, N. J., is not surprised that so many are uncertain about their goals: "The last 18 months have made everyone re-evaluate their goals, no matter how much money they make. But in my experience nobody, particularly those earning more than $150,000 per year, like to admit defeat or mistakes, and so they create financial illusions to rationalize their retirement plans."

To most, retirement means a break with life as usual. Most envision retirement to be unscheduled, living every day as different, PNC's survey findings revealed.

"This is important for us as advisors to know, as the retirement conversation may be more effectively framed around a discussion of spending time as opposed to money," Gaudio said.

Working affluent envision themselves retiring at a median age of 62.3 years, the survey showed. Twenty-five percent expect to retire between ages 60 and 64, while 11 percent said they will work until they are between 70 and 74 years of age.

Of those who plan to work until age 70 or longer, 60 percent said "I enjoy working and I don't want to stop."

The survey also found 90 percent plan to live in retirement at least 10 years, while 70 percent are planning a retirement between 10-30 years.

Retirement: Go With the Flow
More than three-quarters who are looking ahead to retirement (76 percent) are excited to have more time to spend with friends and family, while 70 percent cited more time with their spouse. Just more than half (54 percent) said "I want to spend most of my time traveling."

Only 16 percent said "I want to try a new career after I retire from my current one" while 11 percent want to start their own business.

Asked to define retirement, the majority of those retired (53 percent) describe it as "unscheduled time and go with the flow so that every day can be different."

Only 14 percent said they view retirement as a time to "focus on developing new skills not related to my prior career," while 13 percent said they will "volunteer in my former field or work part-time."
Only 16 percent said "I want to try a new career after I retire from my current one" while 11 percent want to start their own business.

Wealthy Retirees Advise: Be Healthy
Affluent retirees' main advice for wealthy still in the workforce: Don't worry, be healthy.
When asked, "Now that you are retired/not working, what advice would you give someone who is preparing for retirement?" eighty-nine percent said live a healthier life and 87 percent said start planning earlier.

Other advice includes: Spend more time finding and enjoying common interests with your spouse (80 percent); spend less and save more (76 percent); spend more time developing interests outside of work (75 percent); and be more aggressive with investment decisions and asset allocation (59 percent).

An online media kit containing survey highlights and background information as well as an audio podcast are available on PNC's website at http://www. pnc. com/go/presskits (http://www. pnc. com/go/presskits).

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) May 8, 2006

With headlines trumpeting the retreat of sugary soft drinks from schools, many kids and parents are looking for alternatives. Souvia Tea has taken the message of teas great taste and health benefits to groups around the valley. More recently schools have asked for informal presentations on tea history, preparation, and health. "We call this Out-TEAch" says Kerstin Wingert co-founder of Souvia, "we take the facts and the tea directly to those who are interested. We can emphasize different facets of Tea; History for Social Studies, tea chemistry for Science classes, and Antioxidants, caffeine and other properties for tea for health classes."

Some facts you should know about tea and kids:
Loose Teas are high in antioxidants and the cup contains only the sugar or sweetener you add.

While all teas have caffeine, properly prepared they have less caffeine than coffee or caffeinated soft drinks

There are herbal products like Rooibos, that have no caffeine yet retain many of the beneficial tea properties and taste great

Flavors like Angel's Kiss, Vanilla and Blueberry Yoghurt appeal to the sweet tooth without delivering the calories, iced or hot

It is easy to prepare and transport tea Kerstin Wingert added "Kids of all ages are discovering the great taste of teas and are also learning more about the reported health benefits from regular tea drinking! With Loose Teas you start with a natural product and you know exactly what goes into your cup, sweetener and otherwise". Parents and adults are discovering this too. There is no charge to schools for the Out-TEAch sessions.

5 Ways To Numb The Financial Pain Of Divorce

5 Ways To Numb The Financial Pain Of Divorce

More than 80 percent of divorcing couples cite "debt and financial distress" as the primary factor in the dissolution of their marriages; Freedom Financial Network helps divorcing couples manage debt

(PRWEB) October 4, 2004

Whether it comes before or after the papers are signed, economic hardship is all too familiar to many couples who divorce. Following a few financial guidelines can ease the burden during this difficult time.

Each year, 1 million Americans will divorce. More than 80 percent of divorcing couples cite "debt and financial distress" as the primary factor in the dissolution of their marriages, according to an American Bar Association survey, and studies find that most families suffer a financial decline following a divorce. By taking steps to protect credit, families can come through in much better shape. Freedom Financial Network, LLC, a national consumer debt resolution service provider, encourages divorcing couples to take the following steps:

1. Accurately assess debts and liabilities. First, see yourself as your creditors do. Online (see www. myfico. com) or by phone, you can request a "tri-merge" credit report (a summary from all three major credit reporting bureaus). Note all of your existing shared and individual liabilities. Settle (or get a judgment) on how you'll allocate these responsibilities.

2. Plan how to handle your home. If you own a home, the mortgage is likely your most significant monthly payment. Be certain you understand how you'll resolve monthly mortgage payments, and how you'll divide the home's value - whether one partner buys out the other now, or the home is to be sold after children are grown.

3. Budget for payments. Create a detailed budget, based on your new income level, and use free cash flow to pay off debts. Most people find the most efficient way to pay off debts is to first pay off smaller bills - starting with under $100 - then pay off loans and unsecured debt, such as credit cards, beginning with the account with the highest interest rate.

4. Make sure your ex-spouse is making his or her payments. If possible, make provisions in the divorce agreement for reporting on resolution of significant debt. There are important implications for you personally if your spouse does not meet his/her end of the bargain on liabilities allocated through the divorce proceedings.

Call all creditors for shared accounts (credit cards, gas cards, department store cards, phone cards, etc.). Close the accounts if you are not carrying balances, or remove your name from jointly held accounts. Remember that for jointly held credit cards, and for any other debts incurred during the marriage in community property states, you have shared liability - and thereby share any potential negative credit rating impact. This means that if your spouse does not make payments after the divorce, it could come back to haunt you - and your credit rating.

If you owe back taxes, be aware that the IRS does not have to honor a decision from a divorce judgment. Consult a tax expert to help with your divorce tax planning.

5. Focus on rehabilitating your credit and financial health. Begin a savings plan. Reinvest any proceeds or equity that come out of the divorce proceeding, and be especially cognizant of building yourself a retirement fund for the future.

If you find yourself in trouble during this stressful time -- in which you must make many financial decisions -- seek help immediately from a reliable, professional debt resolution firm. Be sure to investigate the company you choose to assist you, and seek out a company that operates for the consumer, which is markedly different from credit counseling, debt consolidation, and debt management firms.

About Freedom Financial Network

Freedom Financial Network, LLC (www. freedomdebtrelief. com) provides comprehensive consumer debt resolution services through three divisions: Freedom Debt Relief, Freedom Foreclosure Relief, and Freedom Tax Relief. Helping consumers resolve their debts for the least possible personal cost, the company's services offer an alternative to bankruptcy, credit counseling, and debt consolidation.

Freedom Financial Network represents the consumer exclusively, and serves in a position of mediation and resolution to help clients minimize monthly payments, cut total debt balances, protect credit ratings from bankruptcy, and re-establish solid financial footing as quickly as possible. The company's 33-month Debt Resolution Program negotiates with unsecured creditors, often resulting in resolutions that save clients nearly 60 percent of debt balances.

Based in San Mateo, Calif., Freedom Financial Network serves more than 2,000 clients nationwide. The company manages more than $70 million in consumer debt, and is a member in good standing with the Better Business Bureau.

Integrative Medicine Center Holds Webinar on Thyroid Disease

Integrative Medicine Center Holds Webinar on Thyroid Disease

Cutting-Edge Information for Those with Hypothyroid and Hyperthyroid Conditions

New York, NY (PRWEB) July 26, 2010

Patients Medical (http://www. patientsmedical. com), a leading integrative medical center in New York City, will offer an informational webinar on Thursday, August 19th, 2010 at 6:30pm Eastern Standard Time, led by medical director and founder Rashmi Gulati, MD. Dr. Gulati will explain recent advances in diagnostic tools and holistic treatment options for those who live with thyroid disease. The webinar is free and open to the public for those who register for the event (https://www1.gotomeeting. com/register/877182200).

“Too many people are suffering because of thyroid disease (http://www. patientsmedical. com/hormonalhealth/thyroiddisease/default. aspx). They deserve to know the truth about their health,” states Dr. Gulati. Approximately twenty-seven million Americans are affected by a thyroid disease. The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) estimates that over half of those affected remain undiagnosed. Thyroid imbalance far surpasses diabetes as the most common endocrine disorder in the US.

“Millions have been suffering from fatigue, obesity, rollercoaster weight issues, hair loss, and depression for years while their thyroid disease remains undiagnosed. Specialized thyroid tests such as the Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone (TRH) test are vastly under-utilized in many medical practices and can be used along-side the more common Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) test to get a more accurate representation of a patient’s thyroid health,” explains Dr. Gulati.

“As the master gland, the thyroid influences many other critical hormones. If the thyroid is out of balance then many other systems suffer as well,” says Dr. Gulati, “When we look at the body as a whole and address the underlying cause of symptoms, we can prevent further illness and create wellness.” By addressing nutritional and hormonal imbalances, lifestyle practices such as stress-relief and exercise, and a variety of other factors, Dr. Gulati has guided her patients towards symptom relief, and more importantly, greater overall health.

Recent advances in medicine combined with patients’ demand for a more natural and holistic approach (http://www. patientsmedical. com/center/default. aspx) to treatments has led Dr. Gulati and her staff at Patients Medical to develop protocols that go beyond synthetic drugs for those diagnosed with hypothyroid or hyperthyroid conditions. Treatment plans may include custom-compounded thyroid hormone prescriptions, nutritional and herbal supplements to support thyroid function, and dietary therapy.

With over a decade of experience, Dr. Rashmi Gulati is a leader in internal and integrative medicine, having appeared as a medical expert on Good Morning America, CNN, and WCBS in addition to a variety of national publications, speaking about thyroid disease, hormonal health and holistic medicine.

Reformation in American Political Campaigns

Reformation in American Political Campaigns

What America needs today, is not more lawyers, millionaires and professional politicians in office. What America needs is honest debate and grassroots campaigning which will bring more citizens to elected office. Charles Fowler is in the process of launching a campaign of fresh ideas in his bid to succeed retiring Republican Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell. It is this kind of campaign that will bring the American voters back to the polling place and insure the words of President Abraham Lincoln: "A government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth."

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO (PRWEB) April 10, 2004

I was just toying with the idea of launching a Senate Campaign until I received a letter from a fellow Republican. I understood the premise of this letter and took no offense. But there was one sentence that bothered me.

"It is no longer ideals and issues that win political races in America, it is name recognition and big money."

Now what is troubling about this most, is that it is true. The fact that candidates are elected without ideals, without vision and without having to take a clear stand on any issue. When I began to think about that statement is when I determined to follow through with a campaign of fresh ideas and call for a reformation in American political campaigns.

This election is one of the most crucial elections in our nation's history. And it is already proving to be one of the most impassioned. Unfortunately across America in our Congressional races, we are hearing alot of "talking points" with very little debate. We are hearing the sound of echoes across the country, the echoes of marketing consultants, policy advisors and political pollsters. We are still hearing the echo of the debate from years past. Unfortunately, what we are not hearing, are the voices of clarity, of vision and the exchange of new concepts and fresh ideas.

Politics is big business, but where are the voices of real honest debate on the issues? Where are the candidates with any specifics to offer the American people? Where are the innovative ideas that will guide America into the future? It seems that most professional politicians lack the courage to take a real stand on most issues. They want to try to play it safe until election day and just hope the other party stays home.

Oh I know, they all have the same list of the same issues on their menu, but it is all so ambiguous. The political pros in this business are very generalized with nothing specific, nothing of substance to offer the American voter. Many of their stances are so unclear with nothing definitive that they can easily waffle around these issues at election time. I guess that is why they are called "politicians."

But what actually alarms me the most is that they offer no new ideas, nothing fresh, nothing creative. With no new proposals for the future of America the voters are bored to complacency and just stay home on election day. So many Americans lack the motivation to exercise our most funadmental freedom, the right to vote. Why do so many never even bother to even register to vote?

Personally, I do not think it is actually the voters fault. I lay the blame squarely at the feet of the many lawyers, Senate millionaires and professional politicians who seem to be the only choices for Americans in the polling place these days.

Well, since I have proposed a sort of reformation in American politics, let me offer a few specific proposals of my own:

First of all, we can and should find more funding for our Colleges and Universities in America. There is more than enough government waste that can be slashed in order to accomplish this goal. If we don't accomplish anything else, we must find the funds to help lower tuition rates and offer practical scholarships, grants and loans for our students. This must be a real priority for Colorado in the future and not just a campaign slogan. It is the future of our children that is at stake.

I would also propose that any and all tuition payments from College entry, all the way to Doctoral Programs would be completely tax deductible. It is time the government took the tax burden off of students and promoted higher education again.

In addition I would propose a Rural Education Bill that would guarantee kids in rural areas the same quality of education available in other school districts and insure the funding is there to protect the salaries of our public school teachers. If vouchers are the wave of the future, then we must also guarantee our public schools have a level playing field and that all educators have equal opportunity, whether in public schools or private.

It is also time for us to promote goods and products that are made in America. I would support tax breaks and other incentives for retailers who sell products that are "Made in the U. S.A." I would support every effort to bring home jobs and create new and better jobs for all Americans.

It is also time to limit malpractice claims and put a stop to all of this needless civil litigation. We are losing too many good medical professionals because of these out of control law suits. But I have to be honest with you, Tort Reform will only come when we stop electing all of these lawyers to public office. This is another reason we need citizen legislators. How do you think we got into this mess to begin with?

Next on my agenda would be to fight for military pay raises and insist that Congress break this deadlock and give our active duty military the kind of pay increases that they deserve.

Listen, we ask our troops to risk their lives in battle to protect our freedoms, so it is our God given responsibility to make sure that our veterans have excellence in health care, are given more than adequate benefits and retirement in order to enjoy a quality of life that their service to our country has merited. We can no longer allow Congress to play political games with this, for this issue must also become a real priority.

Last but not least, and certainly not the end of my list of priorities for America; are our civil liberties. It is now time to fix the USA PATRIOT ACT and defend our civil liberties and the Bill of Rights at home. I will join Senators Larry Craig, Mike Crapo, John Sununu and others in support of the SAFE ACT which will significantly modify the USA PATRIOT ACT to not only protect our country against terrorism, but also protect the Constitution of the United States by defending our civil liberties at the same time.

The First Amendment survived the Civil War and many other times of national crisis and the First Amendment will survive this War on Terror also.

It is my firm belief that the best leadership for the future of this country will be found in citizen legislators who are supported by grassroots campaigns and who will go to Washington and take issue by issue with great caution and care on behalf of their constituencies. And with that kind of direction we can guarantee the faith declaration of one of our great American Presidents:

"A government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth."

Abraham Lincoln

Eric Bonilla, Owner of Premier-Sport-Fitness. com, Gives Healthy Tips that Every Dieter Should Know

Eric Bonilla, Owner of Premier-Sport-Fitness. com, Gives Healthy Tips that Every Dieter Should Know

Halloween is the time when weight gain usually starts, although December is usually blamed for the Holiday weight gain. Here are four tips that allow you to have a Halloween treat and still keep those pounds off.

Walnut, CA (PRWEB) October 26, 2007

Local fitness expert Eric Bonilla has information every dieter needs to know: Halloween is when the holiday weight gain really starts. While December is usually the month blamed for holiday weight gain, Bonilla warns those wanting to lose weight that thanks to Halloween the pounds actually start to get packed on in late October.

"The amount of candy that people consume is alarming," Bonilla was quoted as saying. "One of the main problems is the smaller 'snack sizes' that the candy manufacturers have made available. Eating several 'mini' chocolate bars is something people see as 'ok' because of their smaller size."

But the fitness expert reminds dieters that just because something is smaller doesn't mean it's ok to consume as many as they want. "For men and women trying to lose weight it's imperative that they follow a plan and goals. They can't just have bags and bags of Halloween candy laying around for 'Trick or Treaters' and not expect to have their fair share -- if they don't have a plan."

Bonilla recommends these 4 tips for keeping the pounds off while still allowing for a Halloween treat:
1) Allow yourself just one piece of candy in the morning and then one at night. Skip any desserts that you would normally eat after dinner.
2) Only buy enough candy so that you expect to run out before the evening is over. It's crucial to weight loss success to not have "trigger" foods lying around -- the temptation is often too great.
3) Increase your exercise activity by thirty minutes on every day that you eat your two pieces of candy. This will counteract the increase in calories that you are consuming.
4) If people indulge a bit too much it's important to forgive themselves and move on. Dwelling on the past will not help their success.

Eric Bonilla is the owner of Premier Sport & Fitness and has been a fitness professional for over 15 years. Bonilla is available for interviews or to discuss other story ideas related to weight loss and fitness. He can be reached at 909 595 2670.

"Saying No Protects New Year's Resolutions," Says Confident Woman Australia

"Saying No Protects New Year's Resolutions," Says Confident Woman Australia.

Millions of Australians will fail to keep important New Year's resolutions for 2010. Why? Because they don't have the self-confidence to say "no" to the temptations they've promised to give up. Confident Woman Australia today issued new tips on how to say "no".

(PRWEB) December 29, 2009

Millions of people will fail to keep important New Year's resolutions for 2010 unless they have the self-confidence to say "no" to the temptations they've promised to give up.

Confident Woman Australia (http://www. confident-woman. com. au) today released the five key ways to say "no" without aggression to help people keep their resolutions.

The first tip is to say "Thank you" before saying "no".

Rachel Green, Director of Confident Woman Australia (http://www. confident-woman. com. au), says, "It's important that you aren't just rude or aggressive as you need others to support you. When someone starts to persuade you to have that extra drink or piece of chocolate cake say, "Thank you, that's really kind of you, no thanks".

The second tip reaffirms the value of using a pleasant, warm voice tone. A more sarcastic or dismissive voice is discouraged as it can sound aggressive and sour relationships.

The third tip suggests that guilty feelings need not dictate people's actions. Feeling guilty can put people off saying "no", but it needn't, as the guilt may just be there through habit or because people have been brought up to put everyone's feelings ahead of their own. The guilt may also arise simply because people lack self-confidence.

Rachel Green says, "If someone tries to persuade you to watch TV when you've promised yourself to go to the gym, and you feel guilty, consider still going to the gym. Rather than not going you may be able to arrange to spend a different time with your friends or take them to the gym with you."

The fourth tip recommends saying "no" without giving excuses or reasons. It has been found by Confident Woman Australia (http://www. confident-woman. com. au) that when reasons are given there is an increased likelihood of arguments arising. People will argue with the reason rather than with the "no".

"If you explain why you aren't drinking you may end up having to listen to a health lecture on the benefits of red wine. This could wear you down so that you give in just to keep the peace. If you drop off the reasons and just say 'Thank you, no' politely you'll sound more convincing and have more self-confidence", Rachel Green stated.

Finally it is important that people are able to stick to what they say and have the self-confidence to repeat themselves. When the first "no" is not respected or acted upon, the same thing can be said again.

"Usually after about three times people stop attempting to persuade. 'No, thanks', 'No thanks', 'No thanks' gets boring after a while so people give up. This can help you to keep your resolutions and boost your self-confidence," reported Rachel Green.

More ways to have the self-confidence to say "No" here. (http://www. confident-woman. com. au/be-assertive-gain-confidence/)

Southlake, TX (PRWEB) May 11, 2005

Southlake students who are members of Girl Scout Troop 4079, a Studio 2B Troop, were thrilled with the idea of their cookie mom, Daphne Biddle. Daphne is an employee of Lockheed Martin who suggested a co-venture shipment of Girl Scout Cookies to the troops in Iraq.

The cookies were sent to Navy Cmdr. Stephen Pike, a chaplain for the Marine Corps Regimental Combat Team 1 stationed at Camp Fallujah, Iraq. Chaplain Pike, a relative of the cookie mom, will be distributing the cookies to soldiers all over the country. “With the help of Lockheed Martin who purchased many boxes and covered shipment, we were able to ship 38 cases of cookies. Many of these were purchased by Lockheed Martin employees. Also, Health Care Associates of Irving allowed us to put a cookie booth in their waiting room and collect donations from patients and staff,” stated Troop Leader Judy Gaman.

On April 28th the girls met to ship the 468 boxes to Iraq. “I am so pleased to see the response Lockheed Martin gave to this cause. The shipment alone, which they covered solely, was well over $500,” reported Daphne Biddle, “It makes me proud to be one of their engineers.”

Troop 4079 consists of Natalie Alberto, Michelle Biddle, Brittany Camp, Katheryn Camp, and Stephanie Ledak. The troop leaders are Judy Gaman and Kathy Krammes. Daphne Biddle is a parent and the 2005 cookie mom. The troop has been together since 1998 and has completed many events, including a trip to Washington DC where they recieved an up-close and personal appreciation for what the troops in Iraq are fighting for.

Granddaddy of website design cleans up its act

Granddaddy of website design cleans up its act

A St. Louis based web design and hosting company brings a new industry to the U. S.. I. T. equipment and disinfecting services that are huge in Europe are now making their way to the U. S

St Louis, MO (PRWEB) April 28, 2004

Design-itude, a ten-year-old website-design firm has decided to “clean up” their image. Design-itude has been hosting and designing websites for over ten years. They have been called the “Grandaddy of web-site design”. Now they are launching a computer cleaning service, and a new company name, Internet Techs.

Wayne and Nancy Golliday are the owners of Internet Techs. The recent addition of the computer cleaning service seemed like a good fit for the couples’ business. “When I started Design-itude over ten years ago, there were very few web-site design companies…making it a real niche market,” says Wayne Golliday.

“Computer cleaning services are rapidly growing in Europe and the Pacific Rim. Very few companies offer this service in the states,” replied Golliday. “We have many clients that have already signed up for this service and we have yet to do an official launch of our new company, Internet Techs. We believe this is a wonderful opportunity for the St Louis metro area.”

Golliday has over ten years experience in computer networking and repair. He is “A+” certified and has his “CCNA” and “LPI” certifications. Nancy Golliday is highly experienced in the design realm. She has been designing logos, brochures, business cards and websites for both local and national companies.

Nancy quoted a recent study by the University of Arizona that stated, “…the average desk has 400 times more bacteria than the average toilet seat.” The study also showed that the #1 culprit in the spread-of-germs in the workplace is your telephone and then your computer. “We cannot express enough the importance of a clean work environment,” says Nancy.

Internet Techs will clean and sterilize your computers, telephones, fax machines, and copiers in your workplace. “We use a vacuum system that filters out the dust when cleaning your components…using canned air only puts the dust back into the environment where it can later re-attach itself to your components”, says Nancy.

According to the Gollidays, “Study after study shows that keeping your pc and other related devices clean reduces costly repairs and “down-time”…and it helps keep your employees healthy…this provides a better work environment and helps contribute to the bottom line.”
