(NewsUSA) - How do you convince aging baby boomers that others are willing to pay them to make sure their nightmares of a threadbare retirement don't come true? Answer: Get Betty White to cut a rap video so campy that it's at 1 million hits-andclimbing on YouTube. Polls consistently show that nearly half of all boomers -- who were never known for saving even before the market crashed -- aren't confident they'll have enough money to retire comfortably. But here's the crucial point: As bad as they've been at adequately funding their 401(k)s and IRAs, they've been really, really good at buying insurance policies -- a record hundreds of billions of dollars worth, according to Conning Research & Consulting -- and many of those policies were taken out under circumstances that now make it more financially attractive for their holders to sell them to companies, in what's known as a "life settlement," rather than to, say, re-up or let them lapse because the payments are unafford-
(NAPSI)If youre part of the soon-to-besenior generation, its a healthy idea to learn all you can about Medicare, the U.S. governmentadministered health insurance program for seniors, before youre eligible. Medicare is similar to a major medical plan, but like other health insurance programs, it doesnt cover everything. Combined with rising health care costs, this can lead to a financial burden, but one that may be eased with supplemental coverage. Medicare Supplement is add-on insurance coverage that can help pay expenses not covered or only partially
covered by Medicare, such as deductibles, copays and other out-ofpocket expenses. Medicare Supplement plans generally work like major medical insurance, says John Fauzey, national director of senior products for Combined Insurance, a leading supple-
mental insurance provider. The supplemental policy help make up the difference between what Medicare pays and what you are charged for care. For example, with hospitalization, Medicare will pay all but $1,132. A Medicare Supplement policy can be purchased to cover that $1,132. All Medicare Supplement policies are not created equal. Its important to find the right coverage for your specific needs. Fauzey offers these tips: Look for a policy that goes into effect the moment you qualify for Medicare. Be sure pre-existing conditions are covered immediately and that there is no waiting period or reduction in benefits. Find a policy that lets you choose your health care providers (as long as they accept Medicare).
(NewsUSA) - When it comes to finding a new look this spring, it's less about spending and more about closet creativity. According to fashion expert and host of TLC's "What Not To Wear," Stacy London, "this season, use the basic rules of fashion and fabric care to recreate spring's hottest looks." Fashion basic 101: Shop your closet first. You may already have some key items within your wardrobe that can stand as a strong foundation. Building upon key
pieces, like a little black dress, can be an easy way to update your style without breaking the bank. Regardless of the monetary or emotional price, in today's economy, clothing can be seen as an investment. "Women spend so much time finding their perfect look, it is important to educate them on helping to extend the life of their wardrobe," says London. Having recently partnered with Woolite to create the "Find the Look, Keep the Look" program, London is dedicated to helping educate clothes-minded individuals on looking their best every day. Ten boutique owners from across the country have also joined this partnership to offer their insight on regional style trends. Together, they created the "Look Book," a compilation of basic must-haves to update your wardrobe. The entire book is available online for free at www.findthelookkeepth
elook.com. - Protect your style investments. According to a recent survey sponsored by Woolite, over $2 billion worth of clothing was ruined last year due to laundryrelated mistakes. A non-harsh detergent like Woolite is the key to extending the closet-life of your favorite wardrobe pieces. It's easy to breathe new life into classic wardrobe basics if they have been maintained through proper laundry care. - Shop your (or your boy-friend's) closet. Chances are, you prob-
ably already have key pieces to build on to recreate spring's biggest trends. One must-have silhouette for spring is the relax-fit pant -- AKA the boyfriend jean. - Be bold with color. Bold, neon colors are back in a big way. To update your look, try punching up a neutral outfit with a touch of bold color. No need to go neon head-to-toe to translate this hot look. - Make a statement with accessories. Big necklaces can streamline a silhouette and quickly update a dull outfit.
