Covid-19 Finance Tips

Financial Tips For When You’re Newly Unemployed Or Business Is Slow

Over 3 million people in the U.S. have recently filed unemployment claims as a result of the severe economic impact of the coronavirus.

Some of those suddenly jobless have limited financial resources besides unemployment benefits. Others are fortunate to have emergency savings or investment vehicles they can draw from such as a 401(k). Then there are those who are still working, but feeling the effects of business slowing down.

“Overall, the pandemic has put many people in a weakened financial condition that they didn’t expect,” says Steve Kruman, a financial planner and investment advisor at Bryce Wealth Management. “And there are some lessons in there that could better protect them and their loved ones going forward.”

Kruman has tips to help people weather the financial storm and learn how to plan differently for the future:

Be careful with the 401(k). “When sources of funds are limited, people should withdraw only the amount they need from their 401(k),” Kruman says. “You want to look for other sources that would be accessible without taking on the major tax hit of raiding the 401(k). Home equity loans are great, and they are at rates much lower than the tax rates of the 401(k). Also, cash value life insurance policies are good sources to borrow from as well. For those who lost their job but have adequate reserves, it’s advisable to roll their 401(k) money over to an IRA at the earliest possible opportunity. Employer-sponsored plans have several drawbacks, including limited investment options. By rolling to an IRA, you can select from a much wider investment universe.”

Don’t panic in the stock market. ”Don’t sell now,” Kruman says. “People who are being induced into panic are selling, and somebody else is buying those shares for when prices recover. The stock market always has fluctuations. It comes down to risk tolerance. You have to be prepared for volatility and be diversified.”

Don’t rely on group life insurance anymore. Many people have the majority of their life insurance through their job. But when you lose the job, you lose the life insurance. “You have to replace it with new life insurance at an older age, which means a higher premium, and with possibly negative health changes, again upping the premium,” Kruman says. “It’s vital to have a well worked-out plan of personal life insurance, which means not tied to a job.”

Find an independent financial advisor. “An independent advisor doesn’t have a company telling them what to invest clients’ money in,” says Kruman. “A client’s best interest should always be the number one priority for an advisor, and it’s easier to maintain that focus by being independent of any parent company’s fee goals or investment selection limitations.”

Consider making a Roth conversion now. When you move money from a tax-deferred retirement account into a Roth account, the money is taxed at that time. “But by making that conversion, you are putting yourself in a position to get tax-free income for life if you comply with two requirements,” Kruman says. Those requirements: be at least age 59 ½ and don’t take any gains out of the Roth for five years. Most financial professionals expect taxes to go up sometime in the future. One reason is that the recent economic stimulus will need to be paid for at some point. Another reason is that the tax cuts passed in 2017 will expire at the end of 2025 for personal rates. “So paying the taxes now at a lower rate when you make the Roth conversion is the better bet for the long run,” he says.

“Now is a tough time for many,” Kruman says, “but it is time that can be used wisely to consider the things you can differently to protect yourself and your family financially from the next period of economic uncertainty.”

MIT Sloan Study of COVID-19

MIT Sloan study shows public health interventions in COVID-19 Pandemic could lead to faster economic recovery

The COVID-19 pandemic has raised critical questions about the impact of public health responses on the economy. An important issue for policymakers is whether current interventions like social distancing have economic costs. In a recent study by MIT Sloan School of Management Prof. Emil Verner, he analyzed the economic effects of the 1918 Flu Pandemic and found that public health interventions have no adverse effect on local economic outcomes. His study shows that cities that intervene earlier and more aggressively experience a relative increase in economic activity after the pandemic.

In normal times, nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) like social distancing and quarantines are bad for the economy. They make it more difficult for economic activity to take place, like going to work. This leads to the notion of a tradeoff between public health interventions and the economy. Policymakers are in uncharted territory, with little guidance on what the expected economic fallout will be and how the crisis should be managed,” says Verner.

To address these issues, Verner and his colleagues studied the economic effects of the largest influenza pandemic in U.S. history, the 1918 Flu Pandemic. They looked at the severity of the pandemic as well as the speed and duration of NPIs, which resemble many of today’s NPIs, including school, theater, and church closures, public gathering bans, and restricted business hours. The team analyzed how the pandemic impacted manufacturing employment, manufacturing output, bank assets, consumer durables, and mortality.

Their study highlighted that areas that were more severely affected by the 1918 Flu Pandemic saw a sharp and persistent decline in real economic activity. The data showed an 18% reduction in state manufacturing output for a state at the mean level of exposure. Exposed areas also saw a rise in bank charge-offs, reflecting an increase in business and household defaults.

“The patterns are consistent with the notion that pandemics depress economic activity through reductions in both supply and demand. Importantly, we also found that the more affected areas of the country remain depressed relative to less exposed areas from 1919 through 1923,” he said.

Comparing the speed and duration of NPIs across cities, the researchers found that cities that intervened more aggressively performed better economically the year following the pandemic. Reacting 10 days earlier to the arrival of the pandemic in a city led to an increase in manufacturing employment by around 5% after the pandemic. Similarly, implementing NPIs for an additional 50 days increased manufacturing employment by 6.5%.

“It’s clear from this data that NPIs work and there is no evidence that they lead to a worse economy. They are the most beneficial way to protect our health and the health of our economy. We can’t go back and act more quickly in the COVID-19 pandemic, but we can apply this information now. Lifting restrictions too early could make the economy worse by leading to a resurgence of the virus in an even more destructive pandemic,” he said.

Verner added, “This isn’t a choice about saving lives or saving the economy. We won’t have a normal economy if we lift restrictions too early.”

Verner is a co-author of “Pandemics depress the economy, public health interventions do not: Evidence from the 1918 Flu” with Sergio Correia of the Federal Reserve Board, and Stephan Luck of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Benchtop Drill Press: Is It Useful to Have It at Home?

Nowadays, there is an electric drill in almost every house. This is a versatile tool that can perform many functions – especially when it comes to impact drills. A question arises – why do you need drill press then? Moreover, this tool is stationary, unlike an electric drill. But there are situations when the capabilities of an electric tool are not enough. This, in particular, applies to cases where drilling must be performed with particular accuracy, or a large number of identical workpieces are drilled.

For home use, best benchtop drill press should be lightweight and not make a lot of noise. Benchtop and radial drilling machines have been created especially for use at home and in small industries. They can perform work from any angle. Bench drilling machines are small in size. They can be moved from place to place. However, such equipment has a limited amount of work – to drill holes in the material not thicker than 16 mm, to cut the thread. The pros of desktop machines – they consume a little electricity.

What Drilling Machines Exist

Stationary drilling machines come in several varieties. They are vertical-boring, inclined-boring, automatic, semi-automatic, multi-spindle semi-automatic machines, as well as horizontal boring machines. Talking about technology for the home workshop, then vertical-drilling models can be considered the most common ones.

As a rule, modern drilling machines use an induction motor and a belt drive from the motor to the spindle. This technical solution protects the motor from excessive loads. Most household machines operate on a standard 220 V mains. Three-phase 380 V power supply is more typical for industrial units.

Quantity and Quality

The main difference between the device and other similar tools for making holes is that it is able to quickly and efficiently cope with obtaining large volumes of identical workpieces. Stationary metal drilling models have several design options. They are vertical, inclined, automatic, semi-automatic, multi-spindle semi-automatic or horizontal.

You need to know how this device works. The principle of operation is that due to the drill, which is the cutting element, chips are removed from the material. The functionality of the device depends on the nozzles installed on it. Operation at low speeds provides high-quality threading, countersinking, stripping.

What if you need to make a hole in 50 workpieces, strictly to a certain depth and strictly at an angle of 90°? Using a conventional drill, you will not get a single identical hole. All of them will differ both in the depth and slope by a fairly noticeable amount.

The benchtop drill press will be able to provide high accuracy in all respects. All necessary values can be adjusted and programmed. In addition, you can cut the internal thread, perform a cleaning of the holes at low speeds. When using the appropriate nozzles, the drill press can perform the functions of a milling machine.

Features and Functions

Choosing a specific model of the press, you need to decide how often you intend to work on it and what kind of work to perform – this will let you find out the required characteristics. Power is the main indicator for almost all power tools. Drill press is no exception. In most cases, its power is not very large – from 300 to 600 Watts. It is understood that the diameter of the drills that are used in this machine ranges from 0.08 to 0.63 inches. If you need to drill holes of a larger diameter, then you may need a machine with a power of 1.5-3 kW or more.

An important function of the drill press is the ability to adjust the speed of rotation. Speed adjustment can be either smooth or stepwise. To change it, use a special switch. It can have from 2 to 20 positions. Moreover, the rotation speed is showed on a special display in the most advanced models. As a rule, the rotational speed of the spindle of the drilling machine is from 120 to 3,000 rpm.

The dimensions of the desktop are also of particular importance. The larger it is, the more stable the machine is and less prone to vibration. Moreover, you can fix a larger part on a large table.
