Two tactics to slash property tax costs

SeniorPropertyTax
Posted May 16

There are two methods to significantly reduce property tax costs. First, most states provide property tax exemptions that reduce taxable home value for seniors, often starting at age 65. For example, some states offer a $25,000 or 50% reduction in assessed value, whichever is greater. Secondly, there may be a circuit breaker program. These programs cap property taxes at a percentage of a senior's income, with any excess taxes deferred.

AutoWarranty
Posted Sep 30

Here's the secret the repair shops won't tell you—you could get the repair guaranteed and save on covered repairs. Mechanics won't tell you this because it's simply too late. If you sign up for a plan ahead of time, you'll never have to pay so much for a covered repair. The average customer gets up to $360/year off.

And here's why it makes sense for your car: As vehicles age, certain maintenance and repairs become more common. Around 60k-100k miles, you may need timing belt replacement (typically $500-$1,000) or other routine maintenance. While major component failures like transmission or engine issues are less frequent, they can cost $2,000-$4,000+ when they do occur. Many manufacturer warranties end at 36k-60k miles, so repairs after that point come out of your pocket if you're not covered.

All of these repairs and even smaller things like the electronics could cost you very little to fix. Get bumper-to-bumper coverage that even provides 24-7 road side assistance and rental cars. Select your vehicle's year to check plans.

HELOC
Updated Oct 22

It benefits senior homeowners the most, but your bank may not have told you about it. Because you could use it to pay off loans,¹ it wouldn't be a surprise if high interest lenders wanted to keep this financial instrument buried and hope you don't use it.

The HELOC instrument is a real, appealing option that lets eligible homeowners tap into their home equity. On average, homeowners can access hundreds of thousands.* With inflation driving up home values, more people should qualify to unlock this cash. Seniors are using it to fund home renovations, start businesses, cover education, pay off debts, pay medical bills, or cover other, big expenses.¹ Estimate your credit score and complete the quick questionnaire to potentially check eligibility with lenders.
Terms and Conditions apply. NMLS #1136.

AutoI
Updated Sep 22

If you're over 39 or 55, you'll very likely get an auto discount. Those over 55 often get extra savings because they may get a retirement or "pleasure use" discount. Additionally, if you live in a qualified postal code or neighborhood with minimal thefts, you may save even more.

Not everyone claims these discounts – here's why. Being loyal to your insurer makes you feel like you probably have the best deal. But sadly, your loyalty is one-sided. It’s well known in the industry that new customers often get better rates to get them to change insurers. Confirm your state and complete the quick questionnaire to get the opportunity to save hundreds.
