Handle your Insurance claim

The process of how the company works is almost same for all claims. These are the major steps involved :

1.Report your Claim : This includes reporting for damaged/lost property. This includes Auto,home, Condos,Life, Health and Disability ,Long-term care etc. Of course you should access the damages yourself to know whether the following is covered in your insurance or not, better still contact an expert to make an evaluation.

2.When a claim is made, an agent usually from the insurance company will contact you for investigating your claims. The insurance company may or may not approve the claim, based on their own assessment of the circumstances

3.Some insurance claims may not be recognized by the insurance company for any number of reasons. If a claimant’s premiums have not been paid in full, the policy itself may not be active.

4.Once the Agent is satisfied that you are eligible for the claim, he/she may then initiate the process to compensate you.

The whole procedure will take around 2-3weeks for you to receive your check.

The procedure is much simpler for medical claims in which you use your insurance to get a medical examination done and the doctor is then required to claim his fees through the insurance company..but I dont think you are bothered about that :)

Money and Happy

There is a link between money and happiness to a certain degree. Living in abject poverty without the means to purchase basin needs such as food and housing not only diminishes happiness it can literally kill via starvation or exposure. If a person does not have any money they will live in despair and oftentimes commit illegal acts (stealing) or immoral acts in order to assuage their hunger.

However, most of the people in the United States live in the middle or upper classes and we enjoy robust meals. The obesity percentages in the United States can attest to the prevalence of food. After the threshhold of mediocrity is overcome and annual salaries rise the happiness quotient does not rise proportionately. In other words, once our essential needs are met and we are left with our wants fulfilling all those wants will not nessacarily lead to a greater happiness.

My most cherished memories and best moments are ones that are real and the cost is free. For example, Gracie, my four year old joyfully eating her birthday cake with such little grace. The total cost of a homemade cake is roughly eight dollars and the happiness of watching her little face was just priceless. It may sound trite, but maternal moments are what increase my joy and they are free of charge. Therefore, it is my contention that money does not create more happiness, but it is a basic need.

I have a very wealthy friend and she does not work at all. She has a nanny and a cleaning lady and even a part time cook. What a lucky rich girl to have not only all her basic needs met, but also have the means to fulfill most of her wants. We keep in touch and she is very funny and equally stressed out as any new mom would be and on a day to day basis there is less laughing and playfulness in her house then in mine. She marvels at my strength and I marvel at her luxuries.

TO have such excess has not creataed happiness though it has undermined her capacity to raise her children without pretensions and condensension towards others. I am sorry to say but they are very spoiled and demanding and she is often brought to tears by their attitudes. I tell her to get a grip and send them to bed and it is this no nonsense approach that she lacks. The money has clouded her judgement I always say since it has removed the element of realism. Is there any child in this wonderful world that needs 100 toys to be picked up by their nanny? I truly disagree with this approach of excess. She called me the other day and said, “Your kids always pick up, but mine just won’t do it. What is the secret?” I laughed and said, “I make them.. because I am too damn tired, since I waxed the wood floors.”

We have enough money and we are happy. Too little money would bring misery, worry, and deprivation to our lives. I also think that too much money can lead to spoiled excess and ruin the truly lovely times that you can have with your family. For example, our salary allows a vacation or two, but the kids are not expecting any extra toys or souveniers and to beg or whine is not condoned in our household. We gave you a glorious breakfast of organic foods, a lovely day at a splash park, and dinner at a fancy restaurant and that is enough. We are not rich, but we are very happy. The moderate spending and will hopefully teach our children about delayed gratification and thankfulness for what they have.

Truth About Car Leasing

Someone once said: “You lease what you cannot purchase a vehicle.” This is a good analogy for auto-leasing, since on a lease your payments are lower than on a purchase; although there are some exceptions/variations to this rule; on a lease your down payment is usually lower than on a purchase too. If you decide you like the vehicle after the lease is over, you can opt to purchase it: when you initially sign the lease contract, this is explained to you by the loan officer. Let’s use a Porsche Cayenne as an example. You lease this vehicle for say $750.00 a month (if you purchase this car your payments would be well over $1000.00 for at least five years) for three years. The loan officer tells you the residual after your lease ends is $40,000; this means you’ll have to come up with this money when the lease ends in order to keep the vehicle. Today, they make it much more easier for people to keep the car, and all sort of options are available for you; all you need to do is ask the loan officer and he’ll explain what your options are when your lease comes to an end.

If you’re a business owner, a lease is probably the best choice for you. Not only can you write off a substantial amount at tax time, but you can also write off mileage. People who own businesses are usually the best candidates for leasing. Not only can you lease a good looking/brand new car, but you can also write off a great deal of expenses associated with the car, and surely enough after the three-four years are over, you drive back into the dealership and lease another car. If you have a successful business and need to drive clients around; you’re a prime leasing candidate, not only because you can write off a great deal at tax time, but you can lease a lot more car for your money than you can buy. Like the old saying goes: “Appearances are everything “; so what would you look more successful in: a Camry XLE, or a Lexus ES 350? The answer is obvious….

Now for the “cons” of leasing. If you don’t own a business, then leasing is probably not the best idea. You cannot write off mileage or anything else for that matter. Also, in a lease you’re limited on the mileage. There are many types of leases out there. Some people opt for a 10,000 miles a year lease, others for a 15,000 miles a year, and some even more. Any excess mileage at the end of your lease contract you’ll be charged for. This again is explained at the time you sign the lease. It’s not uncommon for people to lease cars on a 10,000 mile agreement for say three years, and when the car is returned it has 45,000 miles on it; when it was really only suppose to have 30,000 miles. This will get you in trouble when you return the car, and you’ll most likely be charged additional money upon returning the vehicle. Also if the condition of the vehicle is below par when you return it, you could be charge extra money by the dealer so they can restore the car to “tip top shape,” and eventually sell it. So leasing is not for everyone, but for many: its the only way to go.

Lending tips to get you the best loan

Today, applying for and obtaining a mortgage loan is not difficult. You can walk into any local banking center and ask the next available teller, search online, or peruse the Sunday newspaper for local and national mortgage brokers. However, obtaining a mortgage loan you can afford that later will not end in foreclosure is the challenge. When reviewing a loan application, a financial institution, will consider the following criteria for approval: credit score (FICO Score), debt to income ratio (DTI), and collateral loan to value (CLTV).

1. Credit Score

At least six months prior to seeking a mortgage loan, contact one of the three major credit bureaus (Experian, TransUnion, or Equifax) to obtain a copy of both your credit and score reports.

Review your credit report for accuracy and identity fraud. The credit report contains information on all of your open and closed accounts, payment history positive and negative, history of your account balances, requests for your credit history, and your personal information. If discrepancies are noted, contact the credit bureau immediately to dispute or correct. This process can take several months and may require you to contact all three credit bureaus; so the sooner you start the better.

It is also important to review and understand your score report. Your credit score is a number typically between 300 and 850, based on a statistical analysis of your credit files. Primarily, the basis of the credit score is credit report information from the three major credit bureaus. The credit score also takes into consideration your payment history, account balances, and more. To the financial institution reviewing your application for a mortgage loan, the credit score represents creditworthiness or the likelihood that you will pay your loan.

2. Debt to Income Ratio (DTI)

Develop a plan to pay off your debts if you currently are not debt free. When considering loan approval, the financial institution will calculate the monthly payments of all existing debts and divide the total by the income received per month. Typically, if this percentage exceeds 35% the loan applicant is considered a lending risk and subject to a higher interest rate.

Being debt free does not guarantee a better loan. Remember, regularly scheduled payments paid after the due date, accounts pursued by collection agencies, and bankruptcies contribute to credit score reductions.

3. Collateral Loan to Value (CLTV)

Do some research and know the property you intend to purchase. If the property is for sale by owner, look up the county auditor’s website online for the county where the property resides. The county assesses the value of each parcel of land and structure residing on the land for tax purposes. Alternatively, for property listed with a real estate agent, contact the agent or go online to the multiple listing services (MLS) to obtain the list price.

Next, determine the amount of your down payment and subtract it from your anticipated loan amount. Divide this figure by the value of the home; the percentage equals the loan to value. Applicants with percentages less than or equal to 80% tend to receive lower interest rates. Simply stated, financing a home for more than what it is worth, or having a down payment less than 20% of the requested loan amount will cause an increase in the final interest rate you receive.

Obtaining the best mortgage loan is not difficult nor does it require complex mathematical calculations. Be proactive clean up your credit, reduce your debt, estimate in advance how much you want to borrow, and save a down payment.

About Car Insurance

The pre-approved auto loan really can be your best friend when you go into the dealership. When you have the confidence that you have the money you need to shop, and you have that part behind you, you can really shop with ease. You know all those dealers that have the bad credit, or no credit motto? That’s what it is like to come into an auto dealer with a pre-approved auto loan, and all you have to do is find your car and you are ready to go.

The trickiest part of my last car buying experience was getting someone to finance me. Being just out of college at the time of my auto purchase, I didn’t have the income right away, and I was trying to get the loan in my own name. Not only would that help build my credit history, but it was going to be one step closer to being an adult, and not having to rely on mom and dad to co-sign for me. I was really looking forward to it, but almost couldn’t get a car due to financing issues.

When you get a pre-approved loan, you typically know for how much the loan is, and what kind of car you are going to get with the money. The banks will typically have different standards for what you can borrow if you are going for a new car, or if you are going to get a used car. If you are going to get a new car, you have the confidence that you already have the money, and you can usually get a good rate because you can shop around.

If you know what kind of loan you have, you also limit the ability of the dealers to try and get you to buy extras that you might not need. If you have a pre-approved loan for 15,000, you know that you can’t go above that limit. If the car already costs you 14,999, you aren’t going to buy the 3,000 dollar extended warranty, or anything else that might push the car above the limit that the loan calls for. It puts you in the drivers seat so to speak.

Like I said earlier, you can shop around for an interest rate before you get to the dealership. Instead of allowing the dealer to pick the bank that is going to finance the deal, you can do that yourself. Instead of going to the bank, you can go to a credit union where you might be able to get an even lower rate than at a bank. You can also determine if you are going to pay back over 48 or 60 months before you even get to the negotiating table too.

Getting a pre-approved auto loan has a lot of upside to it. You already know that you have the money before you go shopping, and you know what the parameters for your search are going to be. The dealer isn’t going to be able to push you past the limit of the deal that you have with the bank, and eliminates the attempt at selling you add-ons. If you can get a pre-approved loan you should, as it saves a lot of time and hassle.

About Omega 3 and 6 and its benefits

Omega-3 and Omega-6 are two types of fatty acids that are referred to as essential fatty acids. Essential means that they are required by the body for proper functioning, but the body cannot create them itself. Therefore, it is important that omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are consumed in the food we eat, similar to vitamins and minerals. The body uses Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids for hormone and enyzme production as well as cell growth and division.

The essential fatty acids, Omega-3 and Omega-6 also have many other benefits for the body. They are crucial in reducing hypertension, arthrities and migraines. Probably the biggest direct health function of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids is in the direct reduction of cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. The effect that these fatty acids have in the reduction of cholesterol is significant along with the overal reduction in blood pressure that results from adding Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids to a person´s diet.

Other than helping to control cholesterol levels in the blood, Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids also play a crucial role in controlling inflammation and help to eleviate the symptoms of arthritis. Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids also are essential in the formation of healthy hair, skin and nails.

While Omega-3 and Omega-6 are closely related, they are used seperately by the body and are not interchangable. The body needs both of them to provide the best possible health benefits. Omega-3 fatty acids are generally lacking in most western diets because they come from mainly oily fish like salmon and mackeral, which are not common in western diets. Omege-3 fatty acids can also be found in most nuts and seeds as well as certain types of oils like canola. Omega-6 fatty acids come primarily from unsaturated vegetable oils, seeds and nuts.

In a typical western diet, it is important to counteract the large amounts of cholesterol and other heart-unfriendly foods that we eat. Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are one of the few foods that actually can reduce the amount of harmful cholesterol and triglycerides in the body. Their importance reaches much further than that though, as they are crucial in the construction of many hormones that control everything from mood and personality, to reproduction. Most nutritionists recommend that oily fish such as salmon be eaten twice or more a week and that individuals pay attention to which vegetable oils they are using to ensure that Omega-6 fatty acid is found in it.

Celebrate Easter

EAGER EGG HUNTERS

Children love Easter Egg Hunts! And why shouldn’t they? As spring arrives each year, flowers begin blooming, baby animals are born, and village greens everywhere seem to magically sprout free candy for kids.

Every Easter, volunteers in communities around the world hide plenty of plastic or confection eggs for eager kids to find and enjoy. Even the Easter Bunny gets into the act, secreting jelly beans and chocolate eggs in homes and other secret spots.

Some communities have added their own creative twists to this super-sweet tradition.

CREATIVE CANDYLAND

One church we know holds a GIGANTIC Easter Egg Hunt every year. Hundreds of volunteers transform the church gymnasium into an enormous playing board, just like Milton-Bradley’s Candyland game.

Entire families pitch in for several days to make the metamorphosis complete. From paste to power tools, the people pull out all the stops.

When the setup is finished, the entire game route has been mapped out on the gym floor, using multi-colored blocks of paper. Each Candyland game station is there, with life-sized trees, cottages and other related structures at each spot: from the Kandy Kastle to Lollipop Lane, Candy Cane Forest, and the Gum Drop Mountain. Picket fences and park benches adorn some areas, just like in the real board game.

Candyland characters greet the excited children, as they pass through each station to collect their lovely loot. These folks include Queen Frostine, Grandma Nutt, Princess Lolly, Lord Licorice, and even King Kandy. Each of these is garbed from head to toe in authentic color and costume.

The candy is everywhere! Millions of pounds of sugared surprises appear on the scene, all donated by the church congregation and friends.

Volunteers donate and hide at least 10,000 plastic eggs, all filled with candy, for children to find. Children are released into the gym by age group. In each shift, several golden eggs hold prizes donated by local merchants (bikes, toys, hand-held video games, DVDs, and more).

By the time the event ends, each child has collected a grocery-sized bag of candy.

Thousands of local kids eagerly await this free event each year. Imagine that!

Problem with our Program

It is human nature for people to worry about what they look like. It is something that seems to come naturally. Millions of people every day around the world diet in hopes to look better and feel better about themselves. The question that is asked is do diets really work. Some people will say yes while other people say that they do not work. I am not one to believe in diets because unless you plan to stay on a diet for the rest of your life you are eventually going to gain the weight back. Now I am not saying that you will gain all of the weight back but you will gain some of the weight back.

I do not feel that diets are very healthy for people. You see some diets require that you take away items that you body the nutrients that it needs. Some people diet in the wrong ways. Many people will just not eat at all and starve themselves and they call that a diet. Some people will go on a liquid diet and some may say that that is okay but I disagree. Now yes this is only my opinion but I have had three children in a four year span and I have never had to diet. I watched what I ate. I still eat what I want and I still stay fit.

You can loose weight without dieting. Cut your portions back when you eat. You may eat more times a day and as you go through the day your body will burn of the calories. If you want to call that a diet you can. I call it eating right. I have my sweets when I want and I do not worry about putting on a couple of pounds. Honestly why worry about your weight?

Did you know that when you worry you will put on weight. The more you worry the more weight you will put on. For once in your life enjoy life and what stop worrying. Eat what you want, just watch how much you eat at one sitting.

Now another tip that might help you is work out a little at night. Try this stand up bend your arms in front of you against your chest as if you are defending yourself in a fight. While keeping your legs straight bend the top part of your body side to side as if you were doing a side crunch. Move side to side about one hundred times. When you have competed that exercise you should feel a burning in your sides but not to bad. Now if you want to make it a little more fun move your hips as you bend side to side as if you are dancing. If you move your hips in a circle you will work all the muscles in your stomach. Soon you will start loosing inches off your waist and start looking great. Dancing is the best way to loose weight so dance all you can even if you are alone in your room dance.

Remember this eat what you want. Do not worry about your weight. Enjoy life and if you are happy with yourself who cares what anyone else thinks of you. Just be yourself. Get rid of all that dieting junk that you have stored in your head. Do what makes you happy.

Change your lifestyle..

Simple changes to your lifestyle can make a big difference in reducing the effects of stress on your mind and your body. Stress is an unpleasant thing to live with and it can affect your mood, making you grumpy and snappy. Changing a few things about the way you react in a stressful situation will help you to lower the effect it has on you.

Try and stay calm no matter what during a stressful situation. Think about something that makes you happy such as a conversation with your best friend, a favourite song or book or anything else that normally calms you down. If you can, remove yourself from the source of stress for a while and allow yourself to calm down before returning. If you can’t, stop and think about what you want to do next, this should help you to calm yourself a little and allow you to deal with the situation better.

One of the best ways to reduce stress is to make sure you have a valve. A valve is basically something that you do to reduce stress that you enjoy. The valve can be anything; it is entirely up to you.

My valves are writing creatively or writing articles, drawing, reading and knitting. Surprisingly knitting is very stress relieving as you can imagine the wool flowing away from you is your stress moving away. Drawing or writing are very good valves because they allow you to express how you feel and essentially get stressful thoughts out of your system.

If you find you are regularly stressed, it may be a good idea to spend an hour or so a day doing something that calms you down. Baths are very good for relaxing, especially with lavender bath oils added in which help to calm you. A bath everyday can help to keep you relaxed and happy.

Another big way of getting rid of stress is exercise. Walking somewhere new is exciting and helps to relax you. Stress causes you to produce adrenaline which makes you feel highly strung and can affect your stomach, if you have irritable bowl syndrome which is triggered by stress sometimes. Exercising helps you to use up that adrenaline, especially if you exercise right after being stressed.

The trick to dealing with stress is understanding what causes it and how you can reduce the effect of it on you. It is a horrible thing to deal with but it can be reduced.
