The rugby world, lead mostly by Australians and Englishmen, take great joy in labelling New Zealand’s All Blacks chokers for their recent lack of World Cup success. Since the first World Cup, which New Zealand won, the All Black World Cup story has been one of dissappointment and heartache for All Black Supporters who are left wondering how a team that is seems to spend the entire three years leading up to a world cup stomping on everyone in site can manage to throw away world cups year after year.

It started in England, where the All Blacks were defeated in the semi-final by Australia. I can remember that year well, Australia beat the All Blacks convincingly at home, then New Zealand managed to retain the Bledislow cup by winning a low scoring game at home. 1-1 all going into the world cup, with Australia looking far more convincing in their win. In the minds of many New Zealanders the All Blacks were the underdogs in that semi-final. Chokers – not here. Much as it pains me to say, beaten by the better team, not just on the day, but of the season.

In South Africa in 1995 the All Blacks played well to dismiss everyone between them on the final. Getting up in the middle of the night New Zealanders were greeted with the news many of their food was suffering from food poisoning prior to their final against the hosts. Still, the game went to extra time, and the All Blacks lost the drop kicking duel. Choking…only on their dinner.

In 1999 the All Blacks went into a semi-final against a French Team described as ‘only there by a fluke of the draw’. On this occassion I was driving the length of the country to see my girlfriend, listening to the radio as the static crackled in and out. New Zealand controlled much of the match, but were blown away in the second half by a period of play that France will produce once a decade. When they are in that mood they are near unstoppable. France went on to show their other side in the final, losing terribly to Australia in an ugly match. The All Blacks were so dejected that they had little heart for their 3rd place playoff with South Africa and finished their worst placinf ever at a world cup – 4th. Choking? Maybe so here, certainly they had little answer once the French turned on the magic.

In 2003 the All Blacks had beaten Austrlia comfortably in the Tri-Nations(In one game very handsomely) and having disposed of South Africa in their Semi-Final were the favourites going into the Semi-Final, against the hosts. Australia played a game plan the All Blacks never saw coming, and again the inability to adapt cost the All Blacks the game. Having said that, one intercept try made all the difference, and Australia were always going to be very difficult to beat on their home turf. Australia went on to lose to England in the final. This time there was no heartless playoff for the kiwi’s who took their frustration out on France.

Overall, the history of New Zealand at world cups has been disappointing for fans, but only one country, Australia, can boast a better record. The ‘choker’ tag is more something used to rile up New Zealand fans than something any team actually believes. Going in to the 2007 World Cup the All Blacks have beaten all the major nations comfortably, several times by 30 points or more. Remarkably they have done this with a squad system that means they often play their second 15 in any given match. No other country in the Rugby World has demonstrated the depth to contemplate this, yet in 2006 the All Blacks dropped only one match – the ‘dead rubber’ in Ristenburg to a South African team fuelled by desperation.

Competitors should consider the New Zealand team chokers at their own peril. They are runaway favourites to win the 2007 World Cup, but not invincible as Rustenburg showed.

We have two candidates for president that have really different ideas on how to make the economy grow.

Bush believes in the entrepreneurial approach. People should be allowed to invest in themselves. He even wants to let people have some of the 15% that now goes to the Social Security “trust fund”. Folks, there ain’t no such thing. All the money the government takes out of your paycheck goes into the general fund and the pols spend it as they choose for “your best interest” provided it coincides with theirs. Am I being too cynical?

Gore believes the government should take care everything and everyone. The more dependency of the people on the government the better because the dependents will look to him for what they need and keep him in office. Forty percent of the people in this country pay no taxes at all.

But what is the important thing that will make the stock market continue to go up? Is Bush better than Gore for the market? Or visa versa? Is a Democrat better than a Republican for the stock market? Or visa versa?

Historically the market finishes the year up 14% when the incumbent party prevails. The Dow goes down 3% when the parties change in the White House. It would seem Mr. Gore would be a better bet. But little George has proposed a plan that would give wage earners the right to put 16% of their payroll taxes into a private investment account. This would certainly fuel the stock market.

Who takes care of those who do a poor job of investing and lose all their money? We are already taking care of them. Did you know the return on investment for Social Security is about 2 1/2%? A money market fund earns twice that. Yes, there will be some who do lose that small personal investment account; however, there will be many more who do well and will have a better lifestyle for their personal efforts. There will be another bear market and all the sheep will be sheared.

Right now the economy is so strong that Mr. Greenspan is doing his best to slow it down. And we are in a strong world economy. Even Germany and France have finally learned that the way to stimulate their country’s growth is to lower taxes. It has been an expensive lesson for them. Lower taxes mean more money for people to spend and invest, both of which stimulate the economy. Democrats needn’t worry that there will be less spending if they should lose the White House as the Republicans know how to spend as well as they do. Cynical again, huh?

When it comes right down to which man will do better or worse for the stock market it is a toss-up. The difference is made in Congress, not in the White House. The president tries to steer the Congress to act on his beliefs. One of the things few people remember – it is best to have opposing views between the executive and legislative branches of government. A Democratic president is balanced off by a Republican Congress. And visa versa.

We’ll just have to wait to see what this next election brings.

Rightly or wrongly, most societies today are very material. As such, debt is a part of our lives and we tend to take debt for granted. To some, who may be less disciplined than others, their debt is a natural extension of their personal finances. To these people, when you speak of debt elimination through some form of debt management program, you would think you were speaking of some alien invasion.

So, for the benefit of any aliens (or those who are tired of debts controlling them rather than the other way around) let me tell you why is debt management is so crucial in a balanced lifestyle?

Debt Places Limitations On Your Financial Freedom

So, why is debt a problem? Because those who owe money through any form of debt spend most of their wages or salaries on servicing those debts. Let me go through a typical situation.

Pay-day arrives and we have some newly printed cash in our hands. The first thing we do is look through those bills that are the most important. Most likely this will be our debts – be it loans, credit cards, mortgage or whatever form they take. This leaves us with a limited amount of money left until the next pay-day. Now time marches on and we have needs and desires for food, clothing, gadgets, a present for your loved one or whatever the next week or so has in store for us. So what do we do? We reach for our credit cards, loans or other “instruments-of-debt”. Now the chances are we will add to these more than we paid off when we received our wages. Sound familiar? A prime example of poor debt management.

And so we go through the same process over and over again. More often than not, the debt grows both due to the fact that we spend more than we pay-off and because in the current economic climate the cost of borrowing invariably increases.

Now, do not be fooled into thinking you are exempt this because you are well paid or have a large wage. Bad debt management is not a disease of the working class masses. Those who bring in considerable income suffer this as well. Their expectations and lifestyles usually increase with the increased income they find themselves having so they fall into this trap just as easily.

However, help is at hand and through the application of a sound debt management program you can end this continuous cycle. Debt management can ensure that you enjoy your hard-earned wages without worrying if they will last until the next pay day.

You can, and indeed should, try not to take on further debts – but even if you manage to avoid this totally you still have to manage the interest payments you are making each month. This can often be a bigger burden than the main sum of the debt as you get nothing for it each month. The fact that you had a nice holiday or car is forgotten but you are now paying the price. You have to be very careful when you take on debts as there have been instances where people have discovered that the interest has grown to a level where it is larger than the original debt.

With good debt management, it is possible to stop this before it takes over and leads to bigger problems such as ill-health.

Debt Places Limitations On Your Ability

People in debt are not focused on much else other than clearing that debt. They work to bring in money to service that debt and try to stop it from growing. Your goal should be the reverse. You should work so that you can have the things that make a life worth living – give it purpose.

For those without any debts, the motivation comes from knowing that there will always be a payoff. However, for those with debts, they work to pay them off. Therefore, all that hard work will go into the pockets of the financial establishment that you owe the debt to – rather than to you where it belongs.

The net effect of this is that you are less motivated and less effective at work as you know that you be will not the main one to benefit from it. Therefore it difficult to see the need to work. This causes your output at work to drop and in some cases can even lead to you losing your job – thus making your financial situation even worse.

Debt management can give you guidance and get you focused in the right direction again. Debt management can rejuvenate your enjoyment and desire to work by showing you that there is a point to it and that you are the main one to benefit from it not some faceless financial institution.

Debt management can be an aid to setting targets that you can appreciate. It is no understatement to say that proper debt management will change your life for the better – and if you stick at – it the change is permanent.

Cross training shoes are a very versatile shoe. What ever your choices of exercise are, walking, weight training, Pilates, good cross training shoes will provide a good diversity of support toward achieving your goal. They are referred to as a mid range type of exercise shoe. They are not really created for any one specific type of extreme sport activity. For example, if you plan on doing a fair amount of running, you may want to buy a proper running shoe. If you plan to get a healthy mix of forms of exercises then cross training shoes are a smart choice.

Good training shoes should be able to meet all your needs. When looking for the best pair of cross trainers, keep your physical activities and physical needs in mind. Some shoes are designed with running and general exercise in mind, others are best suited for cardio or in weight training. Nothing to extreme or excessive of course.

There are many designs but most styles are created to accommodate a variety of needs. You will find several good cross trainers are mid-cut, not as flexible as a running shoe, and good with support. The support is usually shown in the way they design the sides of the shoes. A combination of leather and breathable mess is a good combination.

A no income verification home equity loan is a second mortgage loan that does not require you to provide income documentation to qualify for the loan. This type of loan is great for homeowners who need a home equity loan but have hard to document income.

The majority of borrowers with hard to document income are either self-employed or commission based employees. Consumers who fall under these categories may have high income but have a lot of business related deductions that they write off on their taxes. This is good on the one hand as it reduces the taxable income and thus the amount of taxes owed, however, when it comes to getting a home loan it can hurt as most lenders use the average of your last 2 years taxable net income (the amount left after all of your deductions) to determine your income figure for qualifying purposes. This may cause you to have a debt to income ratio problem if you have a high debt load and thus keep you from qualifying for the loan. With a no income verification home equity loan, however, your gross income can be used for qualifying purposes as opposed to the net income.

In order to qualify for a no income verification home equity loan you will, in most cases, need good credit and a high credit score. Expect to pay a higher rate for this type of loan as opposed to a traditional loan in which you have to document your income. Also, even though a no income verification loan does not require you to document your income, some lenders may require that you have a certain dollar value of assets on hand which must be verified. Not all lenders have this requirement though – some lenders offer a program called NINA which stands for “no income no assets” meaning you do not have to document either. Loan guidelines and rates vary from lender to lender so it is a good idea to shop around to increase your chances of getting the best deal available to you.

There have been countless books and articles written over the years about the importance of maintaining good credit. The reasons are myriad, but when you boil it all down the real issue is how much money your credit, good or bad, is going to cost you. We all want to earn, and keep, as much as possible to maintain our lifestyle. Our credit plays a vital role in our ability, or inability, to accomplish this.

So how does good credit stack up against bad credit in regards to the amount of money spent over the term of a loan? What folows is an illustration of two men, both looking to purchase the same style home in the same neighborhood for the exact same price, which for this example is $350,000.

Buyer Number 1 is a mid-level executive who earns $120,000 per year for a company he has worked for since he graduated college. He has practiced frugality in all his spending habits; sticking to a monthly budget; diligently setting aside money in growth funds; and always paying his bills on time without fail. His credit is nearly flawless as indicated by his FICO score of 825. Potential lenders will surely offer a loan at the current lowest interest rates as a reward for his good credit history. He has set aside $15,000 as a down payment towards the purchase of the house.

Buyer Number 2 is also a mid-level executive earning $120,000 per year for a company he has been with for a little more than a year. He has a history of changing jobs, even occupations, every two years or so. He has lived his life up to this point with the mindset of “spend it while you got it”. Subsequently he has little in the way of savings or investments. Because of his careless spending habits he often runs out of money and is late on his bills more often than not. His current credit situation makes him a far greater risk than Buyer Number 1. Potential lenders are going to carefully scrutinize his finances before deciding to go ahead with the loan. Through a sheer stroke of luck he has inherited a moderate amount of money and has decided to use $15,000 of this windfall towards the purchase of a home. His FICO score right now is around 625.

Given the above parameters let’s compare the cost of the home purchase for each man using current interest rates. Buyer Number 1 because of his excellent credit qualified for a fixed-rate 30-year mortgage loan at 6.32%, while Buyer Number 2 with his bruised credit barely managed to qualify for a fixed-rate 30-year mortgage loan at 8.25%.

So how do these numbers compare against each other over the 30 years of the loan?

Buyer Number 1 has his monthly payment fixed at $2262.93, while Buyer Number 2 has his monthly payment fixed at $2701.24. Given the difference of $438.31 between monthly payments it is now a simple matter of multiplication. Over 30 years Buyer Number 2 will pay an additional $157,791.60 for the same house as Buyer Number 1.

Buyer Number 2, because of his bad credit, is literally paying in higher interest what amounts to the cost of another home over the 30 years of his mortgage loan. If you think this example is far-fetched then think again. It is a scenario that occurs in our country every day and there are instances where the disparity and dollar amounts between mortgages are much higher.

This simple example clearly illustrates that if you have good credit do everything you can to keep it that way, and if you have bad credit start now to fix it.

“I would rather expire at my desk than to sell my business and pay Uncle Sam one dime in taxes.” How many owners that have paid their fair share of taxes for twenty years of building their business feel this way? The tax bite is the single biggest factor in an owner’s reluctance to sell his/her company.

I have previously written articles discussing various aspects of transaction structures to minimize taxes. As a result, I am often contacted by a panicked seller that is a week from closing his business sale as he looks in disbelief at his accountant’s spreadsheet detailing the tax burden of his impending sale.

Recently, the seller of a Sub Chapter S Corporation with an $8 million transaction value contacted me. The tax basis was below $200,000 and $4 million of the transaction value was the assumption of debt. When the dust settled, he was looking at a capital gains tax liability of a staggering $965,000 while only receiving the remainder of proceeds after the assumption of debt. The assumption of debt is considered as part of the capital gain for tax purposes.

The owner sent his accountant’s spreadsheet to me and since I am not a tax accountant, I sent it to my tax wizard at BDO Seidman. He found a few small tweaks, but said that there was not much that could be done from an accounting standpoint for this owner. When I reported this back to the seller I could feel his disappointment and frustration.

So I began my quest for a better solution. After several dozen phone calls to my professional network, I was directed to a little known vehicle called a Private Annuity Trust. This vehicle has passed the scrutiny of the IRS and the Tax Court. It is not a way to avoid the payment of taxes, rather a method of deferring them with substantial economic benefit to the owner’s beneficiaries.

Below is a simplified description of the process. As the owner contemplates the sale of his business (or any highly appreciated asset for that matter) he “sells” it to a trust PRIOR to its ultimate sale. This trust purchases the asset at FMV and exchanges an annuity payment stream complete with IRS life expectancy tables and interest rates. The trust then sells the company to the buyer to fund the annuity.

The transaction is accompanied by a gift to the trust in the amount of 7% of the face value of the annuity. This is so it qualifies as a trust by creating an entity with economic value. Remember, the private annuity is viewed as having zero economic value because the asset minus the obligation theoretically equals zero.

The trust is in the name of the owner’s beneficiaries and all aspects of the trust are controlled by the trustees/beneficiaries and not by the owner. The trust for the benefit of the heirs owns the assets and owns the annuity payment obligation. The trust can be structured to defer the annuity payments for a period of time to coincide with the owner’s need to receive these payments, lets say, for example, ten years During those ten years the trust’s investments or a commercial annuity grow without incurring a tax bite for the business sale.

When the annuity payments start, the owner is taxed at his then current tax rate for the portion of the annuity payment attributable to the capital gains, his basis (no tax), and depreciation recapture from the sale, and the income produced from the annuity. The annuity pays the owner and spouse this annuity payment until last to die or until the annuity investments run out. If the owner and spouse die, any remaining assets are transferred to the beneficiaries outside of estate tax liability.

If your investments perform at the rate used in the annuity calculation and the last to die lives to their exact life expectancy, theoretically the trust value will be whatever the gift portion (7% of the selling price) has grown to. However, if the investments do very well and you outlive the life expectancy tables, you could receive payments well in excess of the original annuity face value. Those excess payments would be taxed at your then current income tax rate.

If the investments do well and the value grows above the required annuity reserve amount, the excess can be distributed to the beneficiaries as income.

In the simplest of views, this acts like an IRA. You are not currently taxed on the amount you put in, it grows tax deferred and you pay taxes upon distribution, hopefully at a far more favorable tax rate. In the case of the frustrated seller from above, what if he deferred all payments by ten years on the full sale price and the $965,000 in capital gain taxes owed? He had a life expectancy of 20 years beyond the start of the distributions. The $965,000 that he did not pay in taxes grows at 7% to $1,939,323 by the time distributions start.

Every annuity payment contains a portion of the capital gain or 1/20th of the total capital gain annually. Therefore, the bulk of the resulting investment value of the capital gains tax deferral provides huge returns for years to come.

If it seems too good to be true, remember it is tax deferral and not tax avoidance. The owner has sold his business first to the trust in return for an annuity payment stream. The owner cannot control the trust. To the extent that the owner wants immediate access to some of the sales proceeds, he would pay all taxes in proportion to the amount he is receiving. In cases like the one above, this tax deferral tool can have a dramatic impact on the financial status of the owner and his heirs by allowing the tax deferred funds to compound for many years before their ultimate distribution and the payment of any tax.

These days, searching for loans in the UK financial market is not as hard as it used to be. There are a cornucopia of choices to choose from, at affordable rates. This is principally due to the competition among lenders in the UK market. However, there is nothing like choosing with prudence here. A thorough analysis of the loan companies is necessary.

There are several loan firms vying for a piece of the borrowing pie. These personal loans are provided by Internet loan providers; High Street Banks; Building Societies; private lenders; and the Internet. While the first few options are common and have been in the market for long, for the simple matter of convenience and choice, the Internet is doubtless the best option for personal loans.

This is to put down any other provider, for they all have their merits. That is why they are still in the loan market. However, the online option gives one the convenience of applying for the loan form the confines of one’s home. That apart, the choices to the borrowers are great. It is not guaranteed that the Internet can provide one the best deal. The best personal loan deal is one that offers rates suited to a borrower’s circumstances; that could come from any source. But going through all that research may be time consuming and tiring. In fact, even traditional lenders are using the Internet portal to advertise their products.

A borrower should never take a personal loan by overestimating his repayment abilities. One should always check for the little details or, more precisely, extra payments. There could be an arrangement fee to the loan, a penalty for early repayments etc. Borrowers should comprehensively go through the papers before signing on the dotted line. All said and done, if an individual is looking for quick money and is confident about his financial stature, a personal loan is the answer.
