… also learned that human well being matters to health and to earnings as well. Healthier people are happier, but happier people are also healthier and more likely to earn more money in the future. Yet happiness matters more to future income for those with less income, while money matters more to future income (and happiness) to those with more money. “Aha,” thought the Martian again. “Maybe they are giving tax cuts to the rich and increasing inequality because money seems to matter more to them.”

…learned that countries with more inequality have lower life expectancies, and that citizens in more equal societies, like Sweden, live longer. A recent National Academy of Sciences study finds that the inadequate medical care received by the uninsured in the United States translates into a poorer quality of life and a shorter lifespan. The study calculated the “hidden costs” of lack of insurance in terms of lost wages and benefits and in the value of what would…

Worried about diagonal wall cracks in my house due to settlement.?

Editor — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 00:36:32 +0000

Hi,My house is single story without basement and nearly 12 years old There was structurally no problem but 5 years ago my neighbor made a 4 storey building with basement just next side by side immediately adjoining to my house after it diagonal cracks started developing on the those walls(load bearing, load is of slab only) which are at right angle to wall which is adjoining to my neighbors structure or you can say on the walls which are at right angle to my neighbors new built up structure .They start from the joint of ceiling and wall(adjacent to the new built up structure) and goes diagonally throughout the wall and ends at the floor almost 10 feet in length and seems(not sure)also cracking the foundation as the crack also travels for few inches in the floor where it ends in the wall. The width of crack in each wall is nearly 1 mm and more wide upside i.e. near ceiling than floor I have repaired them twice in these 5 years every time they were nearly 1 mm wide .Last time I repaired them 2 years ago but after few months they again resurfaced and seems to be widening again. it. Although it is clear that they are due to settlement only .And I have read somewhere that sometimes it takes nearly ten years for the soil to fully settle but I am really worried and so please tell is there any serious problem involved with the stability of wall or what I have to do to overcome or what should be the repairing procedure of it..Although I am also a civil engineer but for Highways so if there is something that I should have to take care of or should be watched please suggest me and I will do that.Thanks

Any thoughts about AIG Million $ exec BONUSES after they recieved billions of your money?

Editor — Sat, 22 May 2010 00:36:55 +0000

WASHINGTON – Leaders of the White House economic team and the Senate’s top Republican bellowed about bonuses at a bailed-out insurance giant and pledged to prevent such payments in the future.

From one Sunday talk show to the next, they tore into the contracts that American International Group asserted had to be honored, to the tune of about $165 million and payable to executives by Sunday — part of a larger total payout reportedly valued at $450 million. The company has benefited from more than $170 billion in a federal rescue.

AIG has agreed to Obama administration requests to restrain future payments. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner pressed the president’s case with AIG’s chairman, Edward Liddy, last week.

“He stepped in and berated them, got them to reduce the bonuses following every legal means he has to do this,” said Austan Goolsbee, staff director of President Barack Obama’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board.

“I don’t know why they would follow a policy that’s really not sensible, is obviously going to ignite the ire of millions of people, and we’ve done exactly what we can do to prevent this kind of thing from happening again,” Goolsbee said.

Added Lawrence Summers, Obama’s top economic adviser: “The easy thing would be to just say … off with their heads, violate the contracts. But you have to think about the consequences of breaking contracts for the overall system of law, for the overall financial system.”

Summers said Geithner used all his power, “both legal and moral, to reduce the level of these bonus payments.”
Thoughts about excerpt from this article??

1. What do you think should be the be the consequences for this company? (or should there be consequences?

2. What should the Obama team do if other companies follow this companies lead in continuing to give bonuses?

3. Any other thoughts?

You make an excellent point. I also only thought you give out bonuses of the company makes money or an employee does an great job. Neither has happened here!!

Should we forget about sustainability?

Editor — Fri, 21 May 2010 12:10:40 +0000

The story of stuff video (link below) talks about
the materials economy or in other words natural resources, and how we abuse them. Our system is in crisis, the limit is that it is a linear system on a finite planet. Natural resources are not just valuable in their own right they are essential to our survival too, we depend on having fresh water, plants, clean air etc.

The conflict lies in the two very different systems; the natural world and man’s economy. We pretend we are a capitalistic society, yet, we do not pay in money terms (we do not recognize the value) of natural resources, so we exploit them; the environment, other people, living things, natural systems and resources all over the world.

The Wiki definition of sustainable is:

‘Sustainability, in a general sense, is the capacity to maintain a certain process or state indefinitely. In recent years the concept has been applied more specifically to living organisms and systems. As applied to the human community, sustainability has been expressed as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.[1]‘

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sustainability

So if we are talking about maintenance ‘the capacity to maintain a certain process or state indefinitely’ or meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs’ sustainability is not really sustainable because:

A) the human population is rapidly growing
B) we are paying nothing back.

Animals pay back (by eating seeds, pollinating, providing fertilizer etc) plants pay back, humans don’t pay back, we take more from the natural environment, we pollute (flush feces) rather than enrich the soils, we willfully damage food plants, habitats and natural systems and we do this under the name of SUSTAINABLE living. We do not even pay in monetary terms for natural resources resources or if we do it is because their ‘owner’ is doing so to exploit them, again under the name of sustainability. For example water is being sold to re-fill already exploited and drained water systems but this time the ‘owners’ of the water are receiving payment.

So…. should we forget about sustainability and think beyond sustainability to actually paying back? If so how?

http://www.storyofstuff.com/

Edited to Add:

Have I misinterpreted this: is it in fact, opposite to ‘paying back’? Evolution results when the various parties in a system take advantage of available resources. Which means that there is actually no pay back as such. The tree has evolved a system to make birds eat fruit and spread seeds. The tree is taking advantage of the bird. Not vice versa.

Therefore, throughout the natural world there is no altruism required for the system to work.

Human disturbance is when human activity is greater than the natural world has evolved to be be able to cope with it. The scale of human disturbance is the problem.

It is natural for us, humans, to take advantage of available resources. The system is shaped by fluctuations. For example the shape of a river is created by a flood situation and not the ‘normal’ flow of the water. So a system can continue to run in it’s normal state until such an event as the flooding. (continued)
Then it would shift to a new ‘normal’ state. What is happening is that human activity is removing the possibility of shifting to a new normal state.

So is sustainability an illusion on our modern timescale. Things are changing faster than systems can evolve to cope with the disturbances.

The problem is that time moves in a forward direction. We can not even consider how for instance we are going to rebuild the Amazon Rainforest when we finally realize it’s value.

Most natural systems are irreversible. They ONLY move in a forward direction.

In a world of irreducible complexity (the basis of holistic thinking) can we design our way out of this situation?

We talk about sustainability when there is absolutely no way of knowing the outcomes. Everything is moving forward we assume, but can’t know the outcomes, yet still predict sustainability.

The only rational suggestion is to employ the precautionary principle wherever possible.

How do you feel about AIG giving its executives tens of millions of dollars in new bonuses?

Editor — Tue, 18 May 2010 00:35:55 +0000

They receive taxpayer bailout money, and now they’re giving these executives bonuses? What’s up with this?

WASHINGTON – American International Group is giving its executives tens of millions of dollars in new bonuses even though it received a taxpayer bailout of more than $170 billion dollars.

AIG is paying out the executive bonuses to meet a Sunday deadline, but the troubled insurance giant has agreed to administration requests to restrain future payments.

The Treasury Department determined that the government did not have the legal authority to block the current payments by the company. AIG declared earlier this month that it had suffered a loss of $61.7 billion for the fourth quarter of last year, the largest corporate loss in history.

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has asked that the company scale back future bonus payments where legally possible, an administration official said Saturday.

My hubby to be and I are arguing about house shopping. How can I solve the issue?

Editor — Tue, 11 May 2010 00:34:44 +0000

We have one child and are trying for another. We live in a condo and we have a cat. He has a dog that lives at his parents house. They are selling and we need to take the dog. We need a bigger place with a yard so we can keep the dog. My future in-laws have offered to sell us their house cheaper than what it’s worth, but I absolutely hate the house. They built it themselves and then added a couple of new “wings” to the house that don’t match the house that was before. It’s very impractically organized and we would have to take down several walls, a whole wing, put up other walls, enlarge doors, bathrooms etc to make it suitable for a family with small children. The floors are also badly done and the house is ugly. Even if we get this discount from the house payment from them it’s still going to be extremely costly to fix it up so it’s going to end up being at least as expensive as a similar house, if not more. My hubby to be has had no time at all to fix up the place we currently live in, so I sincerely doubt we’ll be able to fix the new house the way we want. He knows the house needs work, but it has been his lifelong dream to buy it and he has promised to fix it, but I don’t trust it. My lifelong dream has been to build my own house but he won’t hear of it. I’ve tried to compromise by suggesting other houses to him, but he won’t hear of it either. In his eyes they can never compare to his parents’ house and even if they are perfect we are not getting as much for our money as with the one he wants. I think it’s really unfair to only want one house in the world and no other. How can I get him to compromise? I’m not going to budge and move into a house I hate.

Question about how mortgage prepayment affects amortization schedule.?

Editor — Mon, 10 May 2010 00:37:02 +0000

So I’m buying my first house, its an FHA loan, and the biggest thing on my mind is figuring out how to pay as little interest as possible over the years. I’m buying a less expensive house that I could afford, so that I can have money left over to prepay on the principal as often as possible, and get the house paid off much quicker than 30 years. ( I know alot of people probably think, its my first house, I’m going to move soon, upgrade, etc, but I doubt it. I rarely move, I’ve been in the same 5 mile radius my whole life, I plan to be in this house for a long time)

Right now I’ve already got my minimum down payment/closing costs. I’ve also got enough money for an emergency fund. Then on top of that I’ve got around $4K extra that I can apply to the principal. Now since I’m not completely familiar with how the whole amortization schedule works, I’m wondering which way I’d be better off.

A) Just applying that extra directly to my down payment up front, which will lower my monthly payment by about $20 a month, but will still be amortized at 30 years (as far as I know).

B) Just putting down the minimum down payment, and then in about a month applying that $4K to the principle. That way the loan has already been amortized, and (if my thinking is right), I’ll be getting a jump start through the amortization schedule, so that on all my future payments, more of the payment will be going straight to principal and less towards interest. And in effect taking a year or so off the end of the loan. (that’s how i think it works, although I don’t fully understand how the ammortization works, so that’s why I’m asking the question)

So with overall interest savings throughout the years in mind, which is a better option, or are they both going to pretty much be the same?

A question about money in an estate account?

Editor — Thu, 06 May 2010 11:36:06 +0000

All of the money aside from my Grandfathers house is in an estate account. I received an annuity that my Grandad had set up for me back in January. The money from the House and property is to be divided amongst us in the same manner as the rest of his money (bonds, stocks, bank accounts that have all been put in to one bank account). Ok so we are having trouble selling my Grandfathers property with the market the way it is and i am starting to get worried about the money that is in the estate account. It is quite a bit above 100,000 dollars and is in a Washington Mutual account.

My Uncle has told me that we cannot touch any of the money until the property sells and the money from it is in the estate account. Is this true?

It seems odd that i would be able to cash in my annuity in January but that we cannot get the estate money out of the Bank until the property sells.

My Uncle is an ultra conservative Christian who believes that the end of the World is coming soon and so he does not really care what happens to the money. He has told me this.
Thank you for your answer Tmess2. I am actually listed as an executor if my Uncle is unwilling or unable to do so. I would hate to cause family problems but the other two people in the Will (my sisters) feel the same way that i do. That is to say that our money is not safe and that he is not making an attempt to keep it safe. Would it be easier for me to take control of where this money is deposited being that i am listed as an executor? It is not greed driving my feelings on this so if it is possible to split the money into more than one account in order to make sure that it is all FDIC insured that would be the option i would choose.

What do you reckon about benefit cheats? Am I being too harsh?

Editor — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 22:37:25 +0000

I was watching this programme about benefit cheats – some working on a returned immigrant’s PPS No and claiming Dole on their own, some doing cash-in-hand work, some claiming both sides of the border, there was even one guy who was collecting the pension of a woman who was 3 years in her grave.

Most of the crowd who were on the programme had defrauded the state (and therefore us) of 5-figure sums (one woman by as much as €130,000).

It seems the standard procedure when they catch up with these crowd is to make them repay a portion of what they’ve stolen to avoid jail.

Now, I’m not talking about people who might occasionally earn a few extra euro for an odd-job or people who wait until they get their first paypacket before they sign off, but I feel the long-term, big-time benefit cheats are getting it far too easy. I’d propose something more serious:

For the most serious offenders, compulsory jail time. For others, either jail or probation.

They’d have to sell their house/car to repay their “debt”.

A repayment plan with interest, with jail for defaulters.

In future, any jobseeker payments would have to be earned by doing community work (e.g. planting roundabouts).

Name and shame them, the same way the Revenue does tax cheats – but also in local newspapers.

Naturalised citizens can currently lose their citizenship if they have “by any overt act, shown himself to have failed in his duty of fidelity to the nation and loyalty to the State” – I’d say stealing from the state would be serious enough revoke their citizenship.

Unless any treaty (or EU law) prevents it, I’d deport foreign nationals. I’m sure other countries would so the same to Irish fraudsters.

question about FV/PV of an annuity?

Editor — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 17:40:16 +0000

if you want to calculate the future value and present value of an annuity, say a purchase with a downpayment and financed by instalments monthy for a number of years, do you have to include the downpayment as part of the equation.

For example you pay 1000 upfront, and make installments of 100 a month for 5 years with an EAR of X (say 10%), when calculating the future and present values, do you have to take in to account the 1000 dollar downpayment paid at period 0 or do you only include the monthy instalments over the 5 year range that start from period one?

Question about future value of an annuity?

Editor — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 08:36:17 +0000

You have a 40 year old client, who wants to start saving for retirement, with her first payment coming one year from now. She can save $5,000 per year, and expect an average return of 9% in the future.

A.) How much money will she have at 65?
B.) How much money will she have at 70?
C.) If she expects to live for 20 years in retirement if she retires at 65 and for 15 years at 70, and her investment continues to earn the same rate, how much could she withdraw at the end of each year after retirement at each retirement age?

3.)A.) For this problem, I plugged in the following values into the financial calculator application: N = 25, I = 9%, PV = 0, PMT = -5,000. The variable to be solved in this case is the future value. The answer I got was $423,504.48.

B.) For this problem, the only value I switched was N = 25, to N = 30. The answer I got was $681,537.69.

C.) At 65 years old, the client could withdraw $46,393.42 each year during retirement, for 20 years. I arrived at my answer by inputting the following values into the financial calculator application: N = 20, PV = -423,504.48, I = 9%, and FV = 0. The value to be solved for is the payment, or the withdrawals she would be able to make at the end of each year.
At 70 years old, the client could withdraw $84,550.80 for 15 years. I arrived at my answer by inputting the following values into the financial calculator application: N = 15, I = 9%, PV = -681,537.69 and FV = 0. And again, the value to be solved for is the payment, or the withdrawals she would be able to make at the end of the year.

^ Those are the answers I got. Can anyone just check them over and make sure I did the problem correctly?
Thanks.

I’m not really trying to make any money off of it and I already know I may get far less than what I paid for it and to a point.. that is fine. I just dont want to keep paying for it in the future. HELP!!! ….and if you have any horror stories I would love to hear them, at least I know the worst I’m in for. Thanks

Ps. I have a deeded timeshare, where I’ll own it after (seemingly) a trillion payments. (boy… what were WE thinking)
