New Direction IRA, Inc, a self-directed retirement plan administrator, announced self-directed account funds totaling over 500 million dollars. The average retirement and health savings account is approximately $ 75,000, with clients who invest in real estate, gold, personal loans, and private company shares.

?2011′s increase has been pretty drastic,? says Catherine Wynne, President of New Direction IRA, Inc. ?The stock market has demonstrated the usual volatility, and the real estate market is always enticing to people, but many more people are opening self-directed retirement accounts.?

Wynne reports that New Direction IRA?s 5000 clients are using their self-directed IRAs to purchase real estate, business franchises and pre-IPO shares as well as the more standard retirement fund fare of stocks, bonds and mutual funds. Many of these clients are also using loans combined with their IRA funds to purchase all kinds of real estate. ?Thanks to a dramatic increase in the amount of national and local banks offering real estate IRA loans, people are able to buy a lot more than they thought they could.?

Although the average account is approximately $ 75,000 according to Wynne, self-directed retirement accounts are for everyone. ?Many of our clients have as little as a few thousand dollars in their accounts, and they?ve actively invested. It?s more about what the client invests in than how much they have to invest,? said Wynne. ?We always tell our clients to invest in what you know.?

Many clients have been taking advantage of lowered interest rates and the many foreclosures on the market. ?With the stock market the way it?s been, people love the flexibility of what some call a Real Estate IRA.?

The self-directed IRA is not limited to real estate, however. Wynne reports that clients have also used their IRAs to fund personal loans. ?If someone you know is paying 15% interest to a credit card company, and your IRA can offer them a loan with 10% interest, you?re both happy.?

New Direction IRA teaches hundreds of free webinars and classes to educate new and experienced real estate investors and real estate professionals, so even a person with a small IRA fund can make big money for their IRA.

New Direction IRA, Inc., a self-directed IRA plan administrator, also offers self-directed Health Savings Accounts and can be reached at 303-546-7930 or toll free at 877-742-1270. Visit their website at NewDirectionIRA.com.

London, UK (PRWEB UK) 23 December 2011

Lending Stream, the short term loans company has been doing some research into the practice of giving as we draw ever closer to the big day.

As far as gifting habits are concerned, according to a new survey by American Express(1) shows that one-in-four people are planning a ?Secret Santa’ system – selecting just one member of their family or group of friends that they will be responsible for buying a gift for, which may be partly down to restricted budgets in the face of the economic downturn.

The same study found that 68% of those surveyed plan to agree on a financial limit on what they will spend on each other, while 38% of the population will be requesting specific gifts from loved ones to make sure they get what they want.

The survey also found that almost half (48%) plan to request gift lists from their family and friends to avoid money being spent on unwanted Christmas presents.

And speaking of unwanted presents, a survey was carried out by the British Video Association(2) that found that almost one in three British adults said that they’d received an unwanted gadget that has remained unused – either because they couldn’t work out how to use it, or just couldn’t be bothered.

The survey found that of the 31% who were given high tech gifts that never got used, 39% didn’t feel they had time to use the devices, 23% couldn’t see the point of the gadgets, and 7% didn’t know how to use them. 18%, meanwhile, said they just didn’t like the gadgets very much.

Among Britain’s least wanted gadget gifts were such reliably useless old standbys as digital organisers, bread makers, electronic sudoku machines and foot spas.

Which raises the question of what to do with unwanted gifts. The most obvious option is to return the item to where it was bought. Legally you are required to have a proof of purchase, but shops are often more lenient around Christmas time, so long as the item is undamaged.

Another option is to sell it, on the likes of eBay, Gumtree or Craigslist, or perhaps re-gift the item the following year – just make sure you don?t give it back to the person who gave it to you!

Monsey, New York (PRWEB) December 29, 2011

New Hope Christian Church will host Dave Ramsey?s Financial Peace University beginning in January 2012. Financial Peace University is a 13-week course that teaches a step-by-step method to beat debt, build wealth, find bargains, and invest for the future. The course will be held at the church at 57 Main Street in Monsey on Monday nights from 7:30 to 9:30 beginning January 23, 2012. Free child care will be provided.

The cost of the course is $ 125 in person or $ 93 if purchased online and includes a valuable membership kit and a lifetime membership in Financial Peace University that allows participants to go through the course again anytime and anywhere it is offered without additional charge. For married couples, only the husband or wife needs to register for the course, and the other one can share the membership and participate at no additional cost. Everyone is invited to come to a free preview of the course that will be held at the church on Monday, January 9, beginning at 7:30 p.m. As during the course itself, free child care will be provided at the preview night.

?Financial pressure and worrying about money is a major cause of stress and unhappiness in people?s lives and marriages,? explained Phillip Dennis, the minister at the church. ?When you?re up to your eyeballs in debt, you feel like a slave. When you know you aren?t saving enough for your kids? college or your own retirement, or when you?re unsatisfied with your job or can?t get work at all, you don?t have financial peace. And it?s very rare to have any kind of peace in life if you don?t have financial peace. It can even affect your health.?

?This is the first time we?ve offered the course, but we have very high expectations,? Dennis continued. ?The average couple participating in the course pays off $ 5,300 in debt and saves an additional $ 2,700 on top of that during the 13 weeks. People?s lives are being changed by this. Imagine the effect on our economy and our nation?s finances if every household in America were to get its own finances in order. This could be the start of the Great Recovery of 2012. The course is intense but also a lot of fun. Dave Ramsey is upbeat, high energy, and really funny.?

Anyone who wants to register or learn more about Financial Peace University can do so by visiting the New Hope Christian Church website, http://www.newhoperockland.com, or by calling New Hope Christian Church at (845) 356-2031.
