Say Goodbye to Medical Debt

When you or someone on your family experiences a medical event, the last thing you want to do is worry about any debt incurred. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation Health Debt Survey published in June 2022, 41% of American adults have debt due to medical or dental care.

Rather than expending energy on figuring out how to pay off that debt, that energy is better spent on recovery and looking ahead at your future. Here, we take a look at different ways to say goodbye to medical debt, regardless of your income.

• Doublecheck The Charges:As soon as you receive a statement, double-check the medical charges that are billed to you. Billing mistakes do happen, and you don’t want to end up paying more than what you actually owe.
• Ask For A Discount:It may seem odd to ask for a discount from your medical provider, but it can’t hurt. If you can afford to pay off your debt in a lump sum, let your provider know the timeframe in which you can pay and they may offer a discount.
• Seek Out Financial Assistance:A number of organizations offer financial assistance when it comes to paying medical bills. Start withBenefits.govto find federal and state-sponsored medical assistance programs for which you may be eligible. Another organization to look into is The Assistance Fund, which can help with co-payments, prescriptions and insurance premiums.
• Apply For A Medical Credit Card:If you’re confident you can pay off your medical debt in the near future, a medical credit card may be right for you. Medical credit cards are often interest-free for6 to 12 months, but keep in mind that if you can’t pay in full during that timeframe, you may be hit with a deferred interest rate that can increase your debt quickly.
• Find An Advocate:Medical bill advocates can negotiate on your behalf, for a fee. Just be sure that the money you save will more than cover the advocate’s fee; otherwise, it’s money wasted.

Foreclosed Homes: What to Consider Before Buying

When scanning homes for sale, it’s easy to be enticed by homes in foreclosure — for the most part prices are lower, and there may be waived or reduced appraisal fees and closing costs. Foreclosures happen when an owner can’t make payments, and the lender takes over the home and sells it.

While a lower price is tempting, it’s important to consider that there may be some downfalls. Here are a few things to consider before buying a foreclosed home, and how to be successful if it’s the route you decide to take.

• Beware Of “As Is:”Many foreclosed homes are sold “as is”– the specifics of which can vary as much as homes’ locations and floorplans. If a home falls into foreclosure and people are still living in it, they may not be keeping up with routine maintenance or major repairs. If that’s the case, an FHA 203(k) loan can finance up to $35,000 in repairs.
• Secure Pre-Approval:Unless you are planning to come to the table with a cash offer, secure pre-approval from a mortgage lender before making an offer on a foreclosed home. Having that pre-approval letter in-hand will show that you’re serious.
• Consider The Comps:Take a look at other homes available in the area and their asking prices to ensure you’re making a competitive offer on the foreclosed home of interest.
• Work With A Realtor:If you have questions, reach out to a Realtor who specializes in foreclosures. I’m always happy to help and can provide information about the pros and cons of buying a home in foreclosure (as well as what’s going on currently in the market).

Find out the value of your home by answering a few simple questions. By providing your address and home description, the system will produce a complete market analysis through a search for similar homes sold and listed in your area.

Skin Cancer & Early Detection

Self-care has made its way into our daily lives, from unplugging to focusing on positivity to making sure we get our 10,000 steps a day. Another way we can practice self-care is by paying attention to our bodies and noting any new marks or bumps that pop up. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the U.S. That said, it’s also one of the most curable if diagnosed and treated early enough. And there are two ways we can be on the offense when it comes to our bodies.

First, take time to exam your body once a month. Don’t give it a quick glance, either, but really take a good look. Stand in front of a full-length mirror in a well-lit room and use a hand mirror to see spots out of your sightline. Notice any changes in size or shape of spots or moles. If it helps, take photos for reference next month. If you see something that looks peculiar, make an appointment to have it checked out.

Second, make an annual appointment with your dermatologist for a full-body exam. Your doctor will be able to see spots that you can’t quite reach, and if something is diagnosed, can start treatment immediately.

Spot Amazon Scams

According to the Federal Trade Commission, Amazon scams increased by 500% between June 2020 and June 2021, costing scam victims more than $27 million. Amazon itself found that more than 50% of Amazon impersonation scams reported by its customers came by way of fake order confirmations.

The latest Amazon scams to be aware of and avoid include being asked to make a payment away from the website or the app, or via Amazon gift cards; phone calls and text messages requesting personal information; claiming you’re owed a refund; and fake invoices for Amazon purchases that you didn’t make.

If you do receive what you feel is a suspicious phone call, text, or email from Amazon, your best bet is to visitAmazon.comfor direct contact information (don’t click on any links from a text or email) and call, email, or chat with a representative to verify the communication in question. Not only will doing so keep you safe, you’ll also alert Amazon to the suspected fraud so that they can investigate.

Keep Your Yard Green

The heat of summer can wreak havoc on your yard. Here are a few tips to keep it green and ready to enjoy night and day.

• Keep It Watered.Aim for one inch of water per week.
• Timing Is Everything.Avoid evaporation — water in the morning, ideally between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m.
• Clean Up.If your pets do their business in the yard, be sure to clean up after them to avoid yellow spots. Rinse the area with a garden hose right after your dog urinates, too.

Be Road-Trip Ready

For many, summertime means getting out of town and hitting the open road. Here are a few ideas to make sure your car is road-trip ready.

• Check your tires. In addition to tire pressure, make sure there’s enough tread on each tire for a smooth ride.
• Stay charged. Avoid a dead battery en-route by checking that it’s not corroded and that all connections are tight before setting out.
• Clean up. Take some time to clean your car inside and out. Empty the trunk to make room for your luggage, not to mention any souvenirs you may want to bring home.

Q: What should I know when buying my first home?

A:Buying your first home is a big step, and making mistakes can cost you thousands of dollars. Here are three mistakes you should avoid:

• Not having a professional home inspection.Review the report carefully so you don’t buy a home with serious issues, such as pests, mold, or water damage.
• Not doing a “walk-through” before closing.Visit the property after all the furnishings have been removed so you won’t have any surprises later.
• Not understanding the contract.A REALTOR® who serves as your “Buyer’s Representative” will help you understand your responsibilities and guide you through the process.
