Protecting your family through life insurance

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

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. Typically these are either an Explanation of Benefit (EOB) form or a (large) invoice indicating my next premium payment is due. 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:  Why life insurance needs to be a financial priority for Latinos

September is Life Insurance Awareness Month, which makes it an ideal time to set aside a Saturday or Sunday afternoon to think carefully about your current financial health.

These building blocks include … [Read more...]

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

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...]

Relying on Important Resources in Times of Need

Relying on Important Resources in Times of Need

By Mike Periu Life is filled with many unexpected events, and if you ask most Hispanic adults if their lives have turned out as they envisioned, very few – if any – would be able to say "yes".  This is certainly true for the roughly 40 million people who were born in a foreign country, but in one way or another have made the United States their new home.  Many surprises, such as the arrival of a baby or an unsolicited job promotion are blessings that add joy to our lives.  But others, such … [Read more...]

3 preguntas que todos debemos hacer antes de comprar una póliza de seguro

Cualquier decisión financiera importante debe tomarse con cautela.  Es mejor perder una oportunidad por ser precavido que perder dinero por no serlo.  Esto se aplica muy bien a la compra de un seguro. Muchas personas piensan correctamente que el seguro es algo que vale la pena comprar.  Es cierto. Pero uno no puede decir esto y pensar que ya está listo para comprar.  También hay que ser precavido con el seguro.

Cómo negociar un gasto médico no cubierto por el seguro

Las pólizas de seguro médico ofrecidas en los Estados Unidos suelen tener un sinnúmero de detallitos que nos pueden costar miles de dólares. Muchas pólizas no cubren el gasto de dar a luz y los costos asociados con la estadía del nuevo bebé en el hospital.  Otras pólizas tienen límites estrictos con respecto a lo que están dispuestos a pagar por ciertos tratamientos, y cualquier costo por encima del límite es responsabilidad del paciente.  Incluso otras no consideran en lo absoluto ciertos … [Read more...]

Cómo deducir los gastos médicos de los impuestos

Quedan pocos días antes de que haya que entregar la declaración de impuestos. Por lo general, la fecha de vencimiento es el 15 de abril de cada año, pero este año vence el 17 de abril. Esto se debe a que el 15 cae domingo y el 16 es feriado en la capital de Washington, DC.  Aunque recurras a un contador para hacer tus impuestos, eso no te quita la responsabilidad de tomar un papel activo en la elaboración de la declaración.  Para que el contador pueda hacer un buen trabajo debes darle toda la … [Read more...]
