Long-Term Care Insurance Cost

Many people decide against long-term care insurance under the misguided assumption that they cant afford it without actually finding out how much long-term care insurance costs.

Admittedly the cost of long-term care insurance does rule out insuring against the cost of long-term care for some lower income families but if long-term care insurance is taken out early enough the cost is well within the reach of the majority of the American population.

Long-term care insurance costs vary dramatically with one of the most significant factors being at what age you take out your long-term care policy.

Other notable influences on the cost of long-term care insurance are your state of health at the time you apply, the period of time the policy is too cover and the level of long-term care benefits that you choose to select.

Applying for long-term care insurance is something that many people put off for many years believing that the longer they wait the more money they will save. This is a total misconception given the fact that long-term care insurance costs increase sharply with some companies almost doubling the annual cost of their long-term care insurance between the age of 50 and 60.

Each year that you wait before taking out long-term care insurance is likely to result in an increase in annual premiums. In addition, the older you are the higher the risk of developing health problems that could increase the cost of your insurance premiums or prevent you from obtaining long-term care insurance altogether.

As with all types of insurance it is a good idea to shop around as the cost of long-term care insurance can vary by several hundred dollars at the age of 50 and as much as $700 or more if you take a policy out twenty years later.

At the age of 50, depending on your state of health you should be able to get long-term health insurance for around $400 - $500. If you wait until you are 60 the cost of you long-term health insurance will increase with premiums more likely to start at around $700 - $800 if you are in good health. The older you get the greater the risk that you will not be accepted but, if at the age of 70, you are still a viable option for long-term care insurance the annual cost will probably be more than double the cost of a 60 year old at around $1,600 to $2,000 or more.

If you consider the total cost of long-term care insurance, just until the age of 80 (and for many this wont be old enough) policies taken out at the age of 50 will cost you significantly less than those taken out at 60. With the three quotes I reviewed the difference ranged between 7% and 22%. Taking out long-term care insurance another ten years later resulted in a further increase of 11% - 16%.

If you consider the cost of long-term care which could stretch to more than $50,000 per annum in some instances, long-term care insurance could prove to be an excellent investment for the long term.

The Business Of The Well-Fed Artist

If I could chime in on what Im over and done with as an artist, Im through with the term starving artist and am ready to replace that with well-fed artist. A couple of days ago I spoke with a prospective client of mine who was a painter, and within 30 seconds I had heard all the stereotypes of the starving artist.

I have no money.
I cant start anything right now.
I have to go through some turmoil first.

After hearing this, I have to admit I wanted to slap him but I also knew to respect his wishes as to how he wants to live his life. Still that last statement bothered me the most. And I dont know about you, but the last time I checked there were two sides to lifegood and bad. And if art imitates it, then why must the turmoil always come first? Couldnt it be the other way around? Furthermore while some individuals are fortunate enough to have just too much abundance and blessings in their lives, why cant that befall upon the artist?

What Im seeing is that a majority of artists continue to buy into their own self-fulfilling prophecythat they need to suffer in order to produce good works. But what we fail to recognize is that this so-called suffering doesnt have to be the kind where you live out of your car and hustle for auditions to get that big break. Sure it makes for a great biography but what about the good works that we seem to be so tunnel-visioned on but cant create and share? Let me divulge on a little secret.

Suffering is no other than life itself. Its simply being able to live your life and to appreciate the ups, downs, and everything in between. Do you think the corporate executive even at a highly reputable company doesnt feel defeat and disorder from time-to-time? Think again. That executive possibly goes through just as much if not even more turmoil than starving artists, but just doesnt express it through a medium like oil and canvas. Instead they may take it out on the golf ball or jot it down in their personal diaries.

However its expressed theres still a difference between you and them I must address. Theyre well-fed and youre not. But you know what? You can be well-fed too. You can get a good-paying job to keep yourself well-nourished while you express your art, except youre not doing it to the golf ball. You can also learn slowly how to invest your earnings to build up a good wealth account to supplement costs associated to improving your craft. Falling back on the clich that either life imitates art or art imitates life (In my book its both.), youve got to live life in order to create the art that imitates it. Starve yourself and your art conveys starvation. Feed yourself with real life experience and not only will your art be filled with meaning, youll be a well-fed artist as well.

Offshore Gambling - The Truth About Offshore Gambling!

Well to begin this discussion let me open up and say that no matter what you have heard, offshore gambling is going strong and will continue to be so. This issue will be debated, chewed up and perhaps new laws revised for years to come on whether online gambling is illegal or not. The simple fact of the matter still remains that about 75% of worldwide offshore gambling audience is credited to Americans meaning that at this writing no regulations are being strictly enforced.

For the past few years there has been many overnight internet casinos that get the website owners rich and then leaving you with no money to be had on earnings won, not so much anymore a thing of the past now. This is something you no doubt already know if you already enjoy the benefits of internet gambling as a good player is always cautious with their money and will learn and study the adversary first before continuing. Thats why I cannot stress enough to learn about the casino you plan on investing in first as still to this day there is only a handful or so of casinos online that can really call themselves offshore gambling centers.

The key to dealing with offshore gambling outfits is to find a reputable online casino with a proven history of paying and a huge client list showing long-term commitment. Though it is true that online betting is not legal in some countries, many companies have adapted to this by bringing their games offshore to countries that are more encouraging to this style of play. What happened here was a lot of these offshore gambling companies would not let US based players join their online casino anymore and from there it was like a domino effect as most other internet gambling companies followed suit, no pun intended, somewhat scared there could be some illegal ties to that country because of their laws so proprietors abandoned the whole idea.

How did offshore gambling all start, you may ask? The efforts of American land based casinos along with the government to fight vigorously to keep more money in their pockets by keeping online gambling illegal was only going to last so long. In November 2002, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit judged that the 1961 Federal Wire Act does not prohibit Internet gambling on a game of chance. And with that ruling and the emergence of the Internet in recent years has made the offshore gambling community explode exponentially. With the enormous opportunities and life-like atmospheres that Internet gambling gives, you can understand how its become so trendy.

Nevada Reps Propose to Study the Regulation of Internet Gambling in U.S.

Two Nevada Congressional Representatives are going to propose that online gambling can be regulated by the U.S. government, and instead of outlawing online gambling, the U.S. should be embracing it. Shelley Berkley and Jon Porter are slyly not asking for outright endorsing internet gambling, not yet, but only that Congress initiate an 18-month study of online gaming to figure out how it could be regulated by the U.S. The study would be conducted by the National Research Council, a relatively independent agency.

The proposal avoids making anyone look bad for the passing of Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act last year. The Act essentially makes it illegal for companies to transfer money on the behalf of an American individual for the purposes of internet gambling. The study is at its core, a call to repeal the (UIGEA).

The proposal also cleverly avoids asking the obvious question: what is wrong with internet gambling anyway? What makes internet gambling all that much worse than vacationing in Vegas and spending three straight days at the craps table?

You could argue that internet gambling has even less controls in place to manage the behavior of gamblers who can't manage themselves. There is no "eye in the sky" looking over your shoulder while you play, and the instantaneity of the internet makes money transfers, from bank accounts and credit lines alike, way too easily accessible. In the casino, at least, it requires a walk to the ATM, or it requires that you already established a credit line with the casino before you ran out of money. There is even the walk of shame when you take a cash advance over your ATM withdrawal limit at a 240% interest rate. In order to get the money, you have to walk up to the casino cage and leave a thumb print on the paperwork. It's all very humiliating when coupled with the heated stares of the casino employees who know you have overspent your discretionary budget.

A argument for social betterment is nice, but no matter how often it comes up, looking out for the interests of society is rarely a motivator for anything the federal government does. More often, the motivation is money, which makes the study proposal all the more insightful by eventually given internet gaming opponents a financial justification for withdrawing their support for the UIGEA. If internet gambling can be regulated, then the U.S. government gets a piece of the financial pie, and the gains will far outshine any potential downside to problem gamblers who are feeding their addiction online.

Reported estimates have put the amount of American dollars invested in internet gaming at around $12 billion dollars annually. That figure right now primarily goes into the pocket of the internet casinos. But what gets regulated, gets taxed, and that is logic in a language that Congress understands.
