Programas de descuento para la tercera edad

Los latinos de la tercera edad representan un segmento importante de nuestra población. Lamentablemente están en una condición financiera muy precaria. Hace poco, el Economic Policy Institute publicó un estudio con unas cifras escalofriantes. Según dicho estudio, 20 millones de personas mayores de 65 años viven en pobreza. Esto representa un 48% de la población anciana. Pero aún se encuentran los ancianos latinos. Según el estudio, 7 de cada 10 viven en condiciones precarias. La gran mayoría de … [Read more...]

Protecting your family through life insurance

For over 250 years, life insurance has been an important tool used by American families to protect their loved ones. Nevertheless, there are still millions of families, especially Hispanic families, that are still trying to determine if buying life insurance is worth it. The answer to that question is a resolute "yes." Ask any family that has experienced the unexpected death of a loved one and you'll find that none regret the fact that they had life insurance at that moment. How life insurance … [Read more...]

Why You Could Get a Healthcare Rebate

September 29, 2012 By Mike Periu Leave a Comment

Why You Could Get a Healthcare Rebate

Don't toss that envelope from your insurer. It could be a rebate check. Here's why. The other day I received an envelope from my health insurance provider in the mail.

This time however, what I found inside nearly gave me palpitations; it was a check made out to me from the insurance company. At first I assumed this had to be an error, until I remembered an important … [Read more...]

September Is Life Insurance Awareness Month – Are you doing everything you can to protect your family?

As Hispanics, one of the most important traits that we share as a community is our love of family. We worry about them and want to make sure that we are doing everything we possibly can for them. This means spending time with our spouses and children; helping our parents with their monthly expenses if needed; hosting our cousins, brothers and sisters at our homes for dinner; and much more. All of these ways that we express our love have one thing in common: They rely on “us” to make them happen. … [Read more...]

¿No tienes seguro dental? Aquí­ tienes una solución

El seguro medico en los Estados Unidos ha evolucionado mucho durante las últimas décadas.  Y con la reforma del sector que ya está en marcha, veremos todavía mayores cambios en los próximos años.  Pero hay una cobertura que desde la década de los 1970's no ha mejorado — la del seguro dental.  Muchas aseguradoras simplemente no ofrecen cobertura para ningún tipo de tratamiento relacionado con los dientes. Aquellas que sí lo ofrecen, tienen unas primas altísimas y la cobertura es muy pobre.  En … [Read more...]

¿Cuánto dinero necesitas para vivir bien?

June 6, 2012 By Mike Periu Leave a Comment

¿Cuánto dinero necesitas para vivir bien?

Muchos latinos añoran tener un sueldo más alto para poder "vivir bien".  "Si solo tuviera $1,000 al mes más, ya no tendrí­a problemas..." es una frase que oigo frecuentemente alrededor del paí­s. Lo único que cambia es la cantidad de dinero; para algunos $100 a la semana es suficiente para costear las necesidades que les faltan;  para otros, el "déficit" presupuestario supera los $20,000 al mes. En realidad, las personas en general — no solo los latinos — no somos muy buenos en imaginar cuánto … [Read more...]
