It is almost ironic how a person’s financial wellness is affected by health. What appears to be a robust bank account, full of savings, can be depleted by one hospital bill. It can come as a shock.

People take for granted that their medical coverage will take care of much of their bill and that is often true. Nevertheless, there is deductible, and deductible amounts have risen steadily over the last few years.  Domestic accounts can go into a tailspin due to a medical procedure or therapy. Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services understands the threat that medical bills have to the health of a person’s finances. We have a program intended to provide necessary advice.

Any correspondence from a health insurance company can frighten a person. An Explanation Of Benefits (EOB) is not a bill but some people think it is. Reading causes a certain amount of worry until the individual finally calms down. The anxiety is the result of not having enough information Continue reading

You are reading this on an Internet webpage. It didn’t take much effort to look up this Internet site and you didn’t have to go rummaging through a library. Cyberspace is a great place to get information and find services that you need. We should advise you, however, that you may know a lot about the convenience, but you need to also know the possible faults on the web.

Some websites offer the possibility of creating your own will. Who needs a lawyer and all the expenses when you can fill in the spaces and get a legal document just by printing it? There is a problem with this, however. Continue reading

Let’s face it, social media is a blessing and a curse. The platforms allow us to access a world of opportunity and knowledge. They also invite us to increase our debt, by making it easy to purchase items that we may not necessarily need.

The same is true for plastic. Credit and debit cards permit us to go around without having a lot of cash in our wallets. Retailers know that people who shop with plastic will buy a little bit more and they encourage the use. These bills are in addition to traditional debt such as mortgages and car loans. It comes as no surprise that financial wellness comes under threat from these conveniences. It does not take long before somebody is drowning in a sea of red ink. Continue reading

Professional Advice Manages the Cost

 

College debt is a national problem and will continue to be for some time. Politicians need to find a way to reform the situation but until then there are thousands of Millennials dealing with millions of dollars of owed money. Forward-thinking companies recognize the danger to the financial wellness of their Millennial employees. College debt can easily overwhelm anyone.

Where the Trouble Begins

What started the problem? Are new college graduates just irresponsible? The answer is complicated. Many young people go into college debt because they cannot afford the tuitions alone and going without a college degree can harm a career. They do not always know the terms and conditions of their loans. The amount of debt is so large for many graduates they will choose to ignore the payment until it is no longer possible. That is when an emergency strikes.

The DREAMER issue resolution and the final story on DACA are in the future. Organizations must work every day with its foreign-born employees and helping them with American laws and culture.

You Can Make a House a Home

Buying a House Can Be Easy

 

Cable television shows make house buying appear easy. Purchases don’t seem to have much stress or problem but that is really not true. Buying a house is the largest single expense most people will incur in their lives. While it is something that makes them feel proud, it could also pose a threat to financial wellness. Someone who is not adequately ready may discover the mortgage payments eat up the budget.
Television shows will recommend creative financing. Balloon mortgages and other means of financing are considered smart by some so-called experts. While certain budgets can handle this, others can fall apart when a balloon mortgage suddenly gets out of control. People need to have good advice when it comes to buying a house. They need to understand what is involved. It means they need education and Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services can help.

Make Your Move Will Help

Countrywide’s Make Your Move is an online self-education course. It guides the first homebuyer through all the ins and outs of purchasing a house. It contains the kind of information any consumer will need to protect financial wellness in the face of purchasing a home.

Communication is a Critical Legal Service

It Makes Problems Easier to Solve

 

Some group legal plans fail at communications. The vendors feel that websites with boilerplate wills and FAQ pages are sufficient. They sense that there’s no reason for personal communication in a high-tech era. Countrywide Pre- Paid Legal Services respectfully disagrees. We believe that communications with a plan member and on behalf of a plan member are extremely important.

You can write a basic will from a web template. However, it cannot take any consideration the personal nuances of an individual’s estate. This is where a group legal plan can fail. The deeds of plan members can be unique and different.

One person may need help attribute a contract and another the language of a deed. A legal professional often must be personally involved. Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services supports personal contact in providing services.

Countrywide Has a Referral System

Social media was primarily something worked on in dorm rooms 15 years ago. Today, it is a major force in American culture and it is the source of a lot of litigation. There are new laws and court cases regarding the use of social media and not all attorneys know what to do. Some, however, have become experts in this type of jurisprudence. They are not ordinary lawyers and they command large fees. They’re the kind of attorneys that most group legal plans do not have in their networks.
Legal Referrals Are Sometimes Necessary

Regrettably, not every general practitioner in the law courts is familiar with the laws and rules governing special areas of law. Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services has a nationwide network of attorneys, but we readily admit there are certain areas of the law that requires special help. If we do not have attorneys that are expert in certain situations, we have no problem making referrals. Continue reading

Allowance and stipend were the primary sources of income for many Millennials in their college years. Everything becomes different when these young people accept their first full-time jobs. There’s a paycheck coming in, considerably larger than the amount of money they used to get, and there’s a feeling of financial importance. It is essential to understand material value, regardless of what a person thinks about property. Financial wellness is influenced by what you know about your money.

It is easy for a person to discover his or her real value with the right tools. Not every benefits vendor has them, but a financial wellness plan sponsored by Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services does. We have what is necessary to help a person look at their complete financial picture. Continue reading
