FACT: 77% of Americans are Now Living Paycheck-to-Paycheck

BOTTOM LINE: In a recent survey, 77% of people were living paycheck-to-paycheck. This is a sharp increase from 2009. In addition, this survey found:

Workers report they have made a variety of changes to their living and spending habits to help get by. When asked what tactics they have used since the start of the recession to make ends meet, workers said the following:

• Cut back on leisure activities – 54 percent
• Used coupons or shopped at discount stores – 48 percent
• Drove less to save on gas – 37 percent
• Cancelled cable and other subscriptions – 12 percent
• Used public transportation – 5 percent

From Kiplinger Magazine:

Nearly four of every five workers surveyed by the site say they are struggling to make ends meet – and the proportion of workers living paycheck to paycheck has only risen in the past year. In 2009, CareerBuilder found, 61 percent of people were going from one paycheck to another; now, 77 percent are.

A significant number of people are taking drastic steps to shore up their personal finances, as well. More than 20 percent of CareerBuilder’s 4,498 survey respondents admitted to dipping into retirement savings – even though money taken from a retirement account can be subject to both taxes and early-withdrawal penalties.

Survey Methodology

This survey was conducted online within the U.S. by Harris Interactive(C) on behalf of CareerBuilder.com among 2,534 U.S. hiring managers and 4,498 U.S. workers (employed full-time; not self-employed; non government); ages 18 and over between May 18 and June 3, 2010 (percentages for some questions are based on a subset of U.S. employers and/or employees, based on their responses to certain questions). With a pure probability sample of 2,534 and 4,498 one could say with a 95 percent probability that the overall results have a sampling error of +/- 1.95 and +/-1.46 percentage points, respectively. Sampling error for data from sub-samples is higher and varies.

It’s funny how sometimes it’s the little things that are the start of major remodeling projects. One day, you’re stirring soup on your vintage avocado-green stove and the last working burner finally gives up. So you go buy a snazzy new stove and suddenly you realize the whole kitchen looks shabby. It’s remodeling time! But, where to begin? Most of us aren’t so lucky as to have a next-door neighbor whose contractors just finished a fabulous kitchen remodel. Nothing beats a personal recommendation when it comes to finding a contractor. But for most of us, when it comes time to update, or make major repairs, finding the right contractor is daunting. The Internet is a great place to start your project. With a little research, you can learn a lot … overall customer satisfaction, problem resolution track record, timeliness … everything you need to choose a contractor intelligently. On some sites, you can describe your project and within a short time be flooded with free estimates from prescreened contractors. Why wait? Getting your dream kitchen is easier than you think.

• ConstructionWork.com (http:/www.constructionwork.com)
• ServiceMagic.com (http:/www.servicemagic.com)

Tips:

• Find out if the contractor is licensed if he needs to be. This information can be found online. State licensing boards have lots of leverage if you have disputes with a contractor.
• Check references. Call the references and ask good questions, i.e.: if they would use that contractor again, how disputes were settled, professionalism, etc.
• If possible, personally visit a contractor’s project.
• Don’t buy based on low price alone. Sometimes this indicates the contractor cuts corners with inferior materials.
• Verify the contractor’s insurance.
• Find out how long the contractor has been in business and if there is a history of lawsuits.
• If you want your project to reflect the latest trends and technologies, choose a contractor who is a member of trade associations and who regularly attends trade seminars and classes.

People make a lot of jokes about attorneys, but when you need one, nothing seems so funny anymore. You’re either in trouble, trying to get out of trouble, or wanting to avoid trouble. So, how do you pick an attorney when you’re troubled? Do you just call the attorney who’s running the biggest ad in the phone directory … and hope for the best? Hiring the right attorney should not be left to luck or laziness, especially when there are online resources to guide you in making the best choice for your needs. A search through these sites will open your eyes to the bewildering world of law. There are lawyers for every contingency from adoptions to zoning, so it makes sense to seek out attorneys who are specialists in the field where you need help.

Just because you are called a royal pain now and then, does not necessarily mean you descended from royalty. Or does it? One way to find out is to trace your family history. Genealogy is the study of one’s roots and is a fascinating adventure into the past. Before the Internet, most family histories were created from hand-me-down stories told by elder family members or notes scribbled in the family Bible. They contained some truth, and a lot of hearsay. Today, genealogists have access to all kinds of records through the Internet, which helps produce more accurate and detailed pedigree charts (or family trees) than were ever possible before. The government has been keeping tabs on people for generations and much of this information is accessible through these sites, including census data, birth and death certificates, marriage licenses, immigration data, and much more. On these sites, you will also find tools that make it easy to organize and compile the data you unearth. A genealogy search is a fascinating project, whether you descended from a long line of kings … or not.

• OneGreatFamily.com (http://www.onegreatfamily.com/)
• FamilySearch.org (http://www.familysearch.org)
• Gov-Records.com (http://www.gov-records.com)

Tips:

• Before you get started, gather documents you may already have: family bibles, birth/death/marriage certificates, obituary notices.
• Contact relatives, asking specific questions to help you in your quest: i.e.: When and where was Aunt Martha born?
• Check on the Internet to see if anyone has already produced a family history that connects a branch with one or more of your relatives.
• Approach the project as a detective, armed with patience and perseverance.

It’s Saturday night and you’re alone. Again. Your last dates included the goofy geek from your mother’s church and the lounge lizard from the neighborhood bar. Before you give up ever meeting someone who’s perfect for you, you might give online Personals a try. These sites are loaded with people like yourself who are a) searching, b) eligible and c) alone on a Saturday night. You’re no longer limited to mom’s church people. The possibilities are seemingly endless online, as more and more singles discover the 21^st century’s answer to the dating dilemma. You can go to any of these sites and browse potential dates to your heart’s content. You can be as specific or as broad as you like in searching for specific characteristics, right down to eye color and astrological sign. Read what people have to say about themselves, discover their likes and dislikes, check out their photos. It’s like being able to spy before you buy. If you see someone who catches your eye, you will usually need to subscribe in order to contact him or her. When there’s a match — or a chance of one — emails are exchanged and a date is made. With a little determination, Saturday night will never be the same.

Tips:

• Be honest in your self-description … the truth always comes out.
• Be sure to read between the lines of a potential date’s profile. Many clues to a person’s personality are revealed. Someone who boasts of being a couch potato will be a disappointing date if you are into jogging.
• Exchange several e-mails before agreeing to meet. This is your time to find out if this prospect is interesting, literate, humorous, and thoughtful or whatever qualities you seek in a date.
• Plan your first date in a public place and meet each other there.
• Use common sense and trust your instincts.

It’s time to lose 20 pounds and change the hairdo you’ve worn since high school. Its reunion time and you’re in charge of finding and gathering 140 classmates who are spread across the globe. Or perhaps you’re having a mid-life crisis and suddenly that guy from sophomore year is always on your mind. Finding former classmates is getting easier every day with a host of websites that make reunion planning or reconnecting with former heart-throbs possible. Most sites require you to submit your own data which will be added to the site’s database. Many sites have fees to access all available information. There are even reunion planning services on some sites. So go ahead, dig up your past and you too will wonder how your classmates got so old.

• On most sites, you can check to see if your school is listed before submitting any personal information.

• Free is always good. The 2^nd site listed above offers more “free” information than some of the others.
• Remember when searching for classmates, search by the name that person used while in school.

Government impacts every moment of our daily lives, yet often the word government is associated only with taxes, laws and Big Brother. An investigation of these government sites is an eye-opening experience. Here you will discover all kinds of services and information that could benefit you, as well as find out specific answers to your questions. The official U.S. government site (usa.gov) is the definitive source of information about the national government and all its departments. Online you can file your taxes, apply for a passport, view the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted List, find out what you can pack in your suitcase, apply for citizenship, apply for a job … as big as government is, the list goes on and on. The StateLocalGov.net site is the portal to more than 11,000 sites and is searchable by state, by city or by any topic you choose such as arts, tourism, jobs, health, agriculture, regulatory, aging, parks, etc. Find out if you need a fishing license in Colorado, or if you can raise sheep in New York City. If you want to learn more about government in general, a search of the online encyclopedia, Wikipedia, will give you a broad overview of government, its many types and how it works anywhere in the world.
