Are you fearful of losing your income?

Are you fearful of losing your income due to a long term disability or illness? This study shows that for a lot of people it is one of their greatest fears. So why don’t people protect their greatest asset? Which is their ability to make an income. I believe it is the lack of awareness.
Which job would you take?
$99,000/year with no benefit if you cannot work due to illness or injury
or
$96,000/year and if you become ill and cannot work you will receive $65,000 until age 65

Enterprise Zone Tax Credits (Long Beach)

Enterprise Zone Tax Credits (Long Beach)

The termination of enterprise zone tax credits is a huge loss for Long Beach.  Over 550 businesses will be affected.  The incentive for these businesses to hire workers from disadvantaged zip codes and neighborhoods is now reduced. 

The state has no problem with free handouts, but when it comes to local businesses, which bring jobs and revenue to the state, they repeal their tax benefits. 

Our local economy is like an ecosystem.  When a local business is limited to growth and their incentives to expand are taken away there is a direct affect on new and existing jobs.  Without new jobs and possibly the loss of existing jobs you will see a decrease in consumer spending, which in turn will hurt other local businesses.  This cycle will continue when programs like the enterprise zone tax credit are reduced.

  2. Do not drink caffeine or workout before your exam
