Getting the Best Price on Gold Jewelry Requires Preparation

By Tippfein Klaus

Most jewelry stores seek to intimidate buyers when it is time to negotiate their gold pieces. Actually, those who want to buy gold jewelry consider that negotiation is the worst part in the entire process. This happens because the persons who want to buy gold are not as familiarized with the ins and outs of the gold industry as specialized people are. The latter category knows everything in terms of metals, price, settings, stones, etc. An important thing to keep in mind is that the quality of the stone is more relevant than the size.
Knowledge
This is another thing that makes buyer feel inferior. The lack of experience, knowledge and confidence can be quite intimidating. Professionals know exactly how to work with diamonds, stones, gold or silver so they will know everything about them. Another thing to consider is that these people are also salesmen that have certain goals and sales in order to gain more money. So don't be fooled!
Decide what you want before going shopping. It is very important that you have a design in mind so you won't get confused when you see a sea of jewelry. Here are some details about how you can negotiate with any jewelry stores without getting fooled.
Information
Do your homework and search online everything you can about gold jewelry. You can even visit some jewelry stores personally and discover more details about the collections of gold jewelry available in the specialized stores. This way you can choose what suits your needs better. Don't be afraid to ask for quotes and inform yourself on the purity of gold and the various grades of stones existent. Why is 18 K gold different from 12K gold? Learn more about the different gold colors and the manner in which they are created. So basically have the right type of information before deciding what gold jewelry to purchase.
Needs or wants?
Who would say no to having the biggest diamond in the world? Or the biggest house or ring or car? But do we really need them? When shopping at a jewelry store you will probably get distracted by the most impressive jewelry found there. Focus on your needs and not on your wants! The hardest thing is to receive a high quality product for a price that will not leave you speechless. It is much easier to buy something expensive that you think you want or need and realize later that its value is poor or you don't want it anymore.
Negotiate
Once you have figured out what you want and the budget that you can allow yourself for this treat, start shopping. Visit various jewelry shops and tell the salesperson about your requests. As it was mentioned before, if you are allured with objects that are not on your list, try to refuse politely. Buyers need to focus on what they came in for rather than get distracted with the multitude of offers displayed. The number of jewelry stores is quite high so you will definitely find the right products. Make sure you compare them and you examine them carefully. This is a huge investment so make it worth your while and money.
Once you have found a great item, create a list with its features and its cost. Ask the jeweler to sign this list and get the value to be checked by another person just in case you will ever want to sell. You will definitely manage to get a good price for a quality product if the jeweler sees that you are informed and ready to make a serious and durable decision. Choose wisely and you will not regret it!

Financial Literacy: 5 Most Important Lessons for College Students

By Kris Alban

We all are part of post-economic crunch times. The financial meltdown of major banks last decade has had its effects on people from all walks of life - including college students. Many states have cut educational funding, making it even more difficult for students to pay for college. This troubling situation has had serious repercussions over the past few years, and many students and recent graduates are having difficulty covering their expenses. The situation is getting graver as educational costs continue to skyrocket, leaving many college students with massive debt loads which they will likely endure for 10 years or more.
Because of little or no financial literacy, college students often do not understand what they are getting into when applying for a financial aid. According to inquiries made by the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, there is over $1.2 trillion in student loan debt - and fewer than half of these loans are in repayment. While a significant number of Direct Loan recipients are still in college, there are quite a few cases of non-payments including forbearance, deferment and default.
Below are five of the most important areas where college students require financial literacy to help them improve their financial habits and make more-informed financial decisions:
1. Make an Informed Choice
Students need to be able to make an informed choice. They need the right guidance since these debts can stay with them for a long time after they're done with their education.
2. Be Educated on Income Taxes
Students need to be educated on how to fill the basic tax forms and file for themselves, in addition to knowing how the system works so they can proactively make better decisions which will help them during tax season

Ready to Withdraw Investment Income? Where to Start?

By Ken Moraif

If you're properly invested, you probably have several types of accounts: IRAs, 401ks, annuities, and non-IRA accounts. Once you're ready to start living on your investments, how do you decide where to draw from first? The way I see it, you should take your money from the least -taxed accounts first, and defer paying taxes on the high-taxed accounts as long as possible.

To begin with, go to your taxed accounts, your non-IRA accounts. The disadvantage of these accounts is that the money has already been taxed. There's also an advantage: In most cases, when you withdraw money, it will be taxed at capital gains rates, which are lower than the ordinary income rates you would pay on distributions from your retirement plans. And there's another advantage: Let's say that you have $200,000 in a non-IRA account. Your initial investment was $100,000 and you made $100,000 profit. When you live off that $200,000 you'll spend the $100,000 in profit first and you'll pay taxes on that. Eventually you'll use up that $100,000 gain, and will take out the money you originally invested. Guess how much you'll pay in taxes on money that you put in? Nothing. For a while you might actually live tax free.

Your tax-deferred accounts, like annuities, traditional IRAs and 401k's, allow your money to grow tax-free-until you take it out. Then your money is taxed at ordinary income tax rates, which are the highest rates. To minimize this disadvantage, take your money out of these types of accounts at the last moment possible.

Of course, if you're over 70, you have to take money out of your IRA. What then? Combine the two approaches. Withdraw the required amount and make up the rest from your non-IRA accounts. If you need $5000 a month to live on and your required distribution is $3000, take the other $2000 from your non-IRA accounts.

By withdrawing retirement income first from your non-IRA accounts, you have the potential to be taxed at lower rates, and may end up living off the principal for awhile, tax-free. Withdraw money from your traditional IRAs and other tax-deferred accounts when you have to. And of course, don't try this at home. Talk to a professional before embarking on any withdrawal plan. Ask about all your options, including Roth IRAs, which permit tax-free withdrawals if you follow the rules. Once you have all the information, you can use the very best strategy for your individual
