NEW YORK - October 28, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

iQuanti: If you're like many people, you may have dreamed of retirement as a time when you can finally relax and enjoy your golden years. But the reality is that retirement can be a stressful time, especially if you're short on cash. Don't despair! There are plenty of things you can do to make ends meet, even if you're on a tight budget. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

1. Cut back on unnecessary expenses

One of the easiest ways to save money in retirement is to take a close look at your spending and cut back on unnecessary expenses. Do you really need that fancy coffee every day? Could you travel or eat out less often? Even small changes can make a big difference in your retirement budget.

2. Sell some of your stuff

Chances are, you may have a lot of stuff that you don't really need. Why not sell some of it to free up some extra cash? You can have a garage sale, sell items online, or even donate them to a thrift store.

3. Get a part-time job

Retirement doesn't mean you have to stop working altogether. If you need some extra money, consider getting a part-time job in retirement. There are plenty of jobs that are perfect for retirees, such as teaching, consulting, or working in a retail setting.

4. Make some home improvements

Making some simple home improvements can also help you save money in retirement. For example, you could weatherize your home to make it more energy-efficient. Or, you could install solar panels to reduce your electricity bills.

5. Get an unsecured line of credit

An unsecured line of credit can be a great way for retirees to get extra cash when they need it. You can use the money for anything you need, and you don't have to put up any collateral. Better yet, you can pay this loan back all at once or over time, and you'll only pay interest on the amount you borrow.

6. Downsize your home

If you're finding that your current home is too expensive to maintain, downsizing to a smaller home can be a great way to save money in retirement. Not only will you have lower monthly expenses, but you'll also have less stuff to take care of.

7. Live in a retirement community

Moving into a retirement community can be a great way to cut down on your living expenses. Retirement communities typically include amenities like meals, transportation, and activities, which can help you save money.

The bottom line

No matter what your retirement budget is, there are plenty of ways to make ends meet. By cutting back on unnecessary expenses, selling some of your stuff, and getting a part-time job, you can free up some extra cash. An unsecured line of credit can give you flexible access to funds so you can cover the expenses you need. And if you're really struggling, downsizing your home or moving into a retirement community can be a great way to save money in the long run.

LOS ANGELES - October 28, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

iQuanti:  Halloween is a time to be celebrating with light-hearted fun, not panicking over affordability. Luckily, there are plenty of options available for how to host a Halloween party on a budget, and we've rounded up a few for you. Plus, if you're looking for access to funds in order to make your party work, find some tips on where to find funds below. 

Low-budget Halloween ideas

Throwing an epic Halloween bash doesn't need to break the bank. In fact, it can be as manageable and inexpensive as you want it to be. If you can rope in a few friends or family to help you creatively piece together your Halloween bash, you'll find it can be a lot cheaper than you imagined. Here are a few Halloween ideas to get you started! 

Focus on the vibe

While over-the-top décor can be fun, it's also not necessary, especially if your party is adult-centered. Small things like lighting and good music can have way more of an impact than any signs or setups you can manage. To save on both cost and time, stick to the things you know your partygoers will appreciate most rather than getting caught up in throwaway décor. 

Set a theme

If you're looking to make the atmosphere fun without putting in all of the effort alone, tell your invites that they need to dress according to the theme. You'll be able to create a sense of cohesiveness without having to worry about much more than yourself. Sure, you can just have a general theme, but why not tell everyone to come as their favorite singer or favorite color? This places some of the focus on attendees to set the mood rather than just you! 

BYO/Potluck

A bring-you-own get-together will save you major headaches and cost when it comes time to plan. To help make sure you don't end up with twelve bags of chips and no drinks, consider having them mention what they'll bring when they RSVP. Even easier? Create an online spreadsheet that is updated in real-time when someone claims the beverage or food they're bringing. 

What to do if you're low on cash

Sometimes, despite your best efforts, it can be difficult to afford even a low-budget get-together. In these cases, you may consider getting a quick loan from a direct lender. With these loans, you can access money to cover your party needs and repay the funds when you're able to, or according to the agreed-upon repayment schedule. 

If you're struggling with credit, the process of accruing a loan may be more difficult, but it is by no means impossible. Although it may be tough to find no credit check loans from direct lenders, many lenders offer less strict credit score requirements if you have poor or fair credit. 

The bottom line

When Oct. 31 rolls around, don't let party planning ruin the fun - or your wallet. With a little planning, creativity, and offloading some of the responsibility to family and friends, the day can remain stress-free and keep your wallet happy. And in the case that you want to go above and beyond but need a little extra cash, there are options available that may be perfect for your needs.

"Coats for Kids" runs from October 29 to November 12, 2022 and strives to bring in 1,500 coats to benefit underserved children and families of the Angel Harvey Family Health Center.

OAK BROOK, Ill. - October 28, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

For the 12th consecutive year, CD One Price Cleaners and the Infant Welfare Society of Chicago are teaming up to help local children stay warm this winter with "Coats for Kids."

"Coats for Kids" is a charitable coat-donation program benefiting underserved children and families of the Angel Harvey Family Health Center in Chicago. The program runs from Saturday, Oct. 29 to Saturday, Nov. 12, 2022.

How it works: CD One Price Cleaners, Chicagoland's leading dry cleaning and laundry franchise, will collect donated, gently used coats at all 36 locations in Illinois and Indiana, including Chicago city and suburbs. Donated coats will be cleaned at the CD One locations and picked up by the Infant Welfare Society of Chicago.

"We're excited to once again partner with the Infant Welfare Society to get these coats to those who need them the most."

Customers are encouraged to donate both child-sized and adult-sized coats and jackets.

Before the pandemic, CD One and IWS teamed up to collect 1,439 coats in 2020. This year, CD One and IWS aim to gather more than 1,500.

"We are pleased to again be working with CD One Price Cleaners — and marking the 12th anniversary of our partnership — in this year's fall coat drive," Auxiliary Co-Presidents Liz Berglund and Maria Enright said in a joint statement. "Providing these coats to children and families in need will make a big difference in their lives, especially in this financially challenging environment."

"Coats for Kids" donations never go unneeded, as over 200 new patients enroll monthly at The Infant Welfare Society.

For many businesses, a new season means either slowing down of trade, or the busiest time of year. With the right solution, Liberty says both can remain in control of their finances.

MELBOURNE, Australia - October 28, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Businesses that operate based on seasonality often experience more significant fluctuations than other businesses. Those located in towns most popular during summer might now be gearing up for their busiest period. In contrast, those who thrive in winter may be experiencing a drop-off as warmer weather arrives.

No matter which camp they sit in, it's important for every business owner to be ready for the seasonal peaks and troughs that arise. Non-bank lender Liberty, which has decades of experience working with business owners, says cash flow management is one of the biggest issues faced by seasonal businesses. 

According to Head of Communications Heidi Armstrong, it's important to prepare for times when extra capital is needed. And it's not unusual for business owners to seek these added funds through business loans. "As a seasonal business, managing finances is just as important in the busy season as when you're in a bridge season," she said. "Business owners often take a reactive approach to cash flow management and don't look for help until things start to get tight."

Regardless of the season, flexible lenders such as Liberty can help business owners find the right finance solutions to support their operations and growth plans. Liberty offers a suite of free-thinking business loans catered to the unique needs of business owners — and help more of them secure the funds they need.

"Liberty understands that business customers often require fast access to funds. That's why we offer a range of business loans with fast turnaround times designed to support business customers to secure funds when required."

Even those with a less-than-perfect business credit score are encouraged to reach out for help to find a loan option that matches their needs. "Liberty understands the unique needs of business owners — and can offer flexibility many other lenders can't," Armstrong said.

Approved applicants only. Lending criteria apply. Fees and charges are payable. Liberty Financial Pty Ltd ACN 077 248 983 and Secure Funding Pty Ltd ABN 25 081 982 872 Australian Credit Licence 388133, together trading as Liberty Financial.

LOS ANGELES - October 27, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

iQuanti: Halloween is right around the corner, which means it's time to start planning for your big fall bash. Just because you're going big doesn't mean you need to go broke. There are plenty of options to keep your get-together low budget - all it requires is a touch of creativity and some savvy shopping. If you're looking for ideas for décor and Halloween party food on a budget, you're in the right place. 

BYO theme

Potlucks are not reserved for summertime picnics or Christmas dinners. They're a year-round option that makes throwing a party more affordable for everyone, but most importantly, the host. 

If you're planning the big night, set a theme and ask everyone to bring a dish or drink centered around that theme where possible. It can be as simple as Halloween-themed treats to specific colors and leaning into the gory side. As the host, you'll get to decorate and worry about having a good time rather than having to provide for everyone too. 

DIY it

It's surprising how little a party can cost if you're willing to put in a little extra work upfront. This is especially the case with Halloween, as it doesn't need to be the fanciest thing to set the tone. Simple changes, such as dipping white candles in red wax to add a bloody effect, can make all the difference during the holiday. 

Head to a discount store near you for some inexpensive supplies and then piece everything together from there. Get the whole family in on it or a few friends in order to relieve some of that burden while preparing.

Keep it simple

Halloween décor ranges from spooky to sweet, but the best part is that you can adjust based on what you have available. Take, for example, the compost bags that pop up at stores during the fall season with a jack-o-lantern face painted on them. When you're raking the falling leaves, funnel those piles into the bags and let them sit around the lawn for a fun touch of décor. Turning something that you have to do or using things that you need to in order to add décor is the perfect budget-friendly solution. 

Subdued costumes

When it comes to Halloween, it's appropriate to dress up as anything and everything. This is especially true for those who are on a budget or in a pinch and need something quick and easy to dress up in. 

Creativity, as with any of these low-budget methods, is the most important thing across the board. Simple things like painting an "M" on a colored shirt along with a friend or two can do the trick. Still too much effort? Throw on your favorite dress and grab a crown or put on some elaborate makeup to create a dramatic but relatively easy prom or red carpet look. 

Cocktail party

Skip the elaborate sit-down dinner or full-service party and opt for something cheaper when Halloween rolls around. Creating a punch or a Halloween-themed cocktail can be much more affordable (and fun) than planning, purchasing, and cooking for a group of people. If you feel inclined, throw out some potato chips or pretzels for those that need something salty, but focus on an affordable beverage as the highlight. 

Hand out treats

Looking to greet some trick-or-treaters on the big night? The treats you decide to hand out can be adjusted to be more affordable. When purchasing candy or toys, there are only so many ways to cut costs. For example, you might buy in bulk online from a seller with a good deal, but for true affordability, you'll want to avoid a few things. Setting out a bowl of treats is easy, but it's also a go-ahead for many to take advantage and steal more than their fair share. Similarly, when handing out, avoid delving out handfuls to each person so that your purchase extends further. 

The bottom line

Halloween is meant to be enjoyed, and doesn't need to break the bank to do so. There are plenty of options out there to make it more manageable for those looking to stick to a budget. Whether it be affordable food, drink, costumes, or décor, a little effort and creativity will save you big in the long run.

NEW YORK - October 27, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

iQuanti: Regardless of profession or income level, your credit score plays an important role in your financial life and can impact many financial planning goals—from credit card applications to home ownership. 

A few factors affect your credit score, and as a nurse, any student loan debt can make a big impact. However, with the right tactics to understand your credit score, manage student loans, and stay on top of other debts, you can ensure the impact is a positive one. Some specific financial products designed with nurses in mind can help. 

What is a Credit Score?

A credit score is a numerical figure that summarizes your credit history. Checking credit scores is a standard method used by lenders to predict how likely you are to repay your loan.

Credit scores range from 300, which is "poor credit," to 850, which is "excellent credit." Higher scores demonstrate consistently good credit habits like paying on time, low credit usage or credit utilization, and lengthy credit history. Lower scores can indicate to lenders that a borrower may be a risky investment because of late payments or the use of too much credit at one time. The line between good and bad scores is a bit murky, and it is normal for a score to fluctuate at times, but it is helpful to keep those numbers in mind as a guideline.

There are a few strategies that can improve your credit score, no matter your credit history. Here are five ways you could increase your score.

1. Know Your Credit Score

To truly determine how you can improve your credit, it is crucial that you understand your credit score. Many free online resources give you the ability to check your credit score when you need to and can show you what factors are affecting your score, such as credit cards, mortgages, auto loans, student loans, and hard credit inquiries. You can also use these tools to observe how your credit has changed over time.

2. Always Pay on Time

Payment history is the most important factor in how credit bureaus compute your credit score, so it's important to always make your payments on time. Late payments hurt your credit score, and consistently paying on time is one of the best ways to help your credit score improve. 

You can also make a payment ahead of schedule, which reduces your balance and therefore lowers your credit utilization rate (see below), which could have a positive effect on your score.

3. Pay Down Your Debts 

Another contributing factor to your credit score is the ratio of money owed and available credit, also known as credit utilization. The higher your debt is vs. your available credit, the more likely it will negatively impact your credit score. Paying as much debt as you can each month or paying your entire credit card balance, when possible, could help keep this ratio low. 

4. Credit History: Keep Your Accounts Open

Another factor is the length of time that your accounts have been open. Keeping accounts open and active, even if you don't use them very much, could positively impact your credit by showing lenders that you have a consistent history of on-time payments.

5. Financial Planning for Nurses

Proper financial planning can be one of the most important tools for nurses and other professionals looking to improve their credit. Nurses often have to balance busy shift schedules and hectic jobs, and managing student loan payments alongside personal financial goals can be daunting. A good financial planner can help you understand your current economic landscape and advise on any necessary changes; improving your credit score is a great place to start.

Desygner - a fast-growing martech solution - is hosting a fully sponsored global hackathon in Bali to kickstart a series of company-sponsored "workations" in some of the most sought-after destinations across the world for digital nomads. First in the series, the hackathon is set to go live from 31 Oct. 2022 until 11 Nov. 2022 at Munno Villas resort in Canggu, Bali, and is open to the public, including digital nomads and outstanding students. Participants will receive free accommodation, food, and activities during the hackathon.

GOLD COAST, Australia - October 27, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Imagine a world where a company books an amazing destination for their employees and pays to experience life as a digital nomad in Bali. At Desygner - a fast-growing martech solution - this is a way of work-life - distinct from the usual company offsite. With its digital workforce of over 100+ employees spread across the world, Desygner seeks to set a new status quo for innovation and talent acquisition by organising a series of company-sponsored "workations" in the most sought destinations around the world for digital nomads. 

The Australian company today announced a 12-day global hackathon set to go live on the 31st of October 2022 until the 11th of November 2022 at Canggu in Bali, which is open for digital nomads and outstanding students in addition to the global Desygner Team, who are already heading towards their dream destination. 

The hackathon is all-inclusive of accommodation, meals and entertainment provided to all participants. The event is an opportunity for talented Developers, DevOps, QA professionals, marketers, designers and sales professionals to work with the Desygner team and get hired for open positions in Bali, London, and the company HQ in Gold Coast, Australia (sponsoring remote applicants).  

The main objective of the initiative is to benchmark Desygner as a brand that attracts the best talent around the world and to bring innovation to remote working, steering away from the traditional notion of work being physically tied to offices or company headquarters. The company, which is growing at a fast pace, believes that the right mix of work and play can spark innovation for creating "the awesome factor", which is a thriving culture at Desygner.  

Post-pandemic, as most organisations are experimenting with hybrid and remote working models, Desygner stands to lead by example in creating better work-life experiences to attract and retain talented staff to tackle global talent crisis as they grow. 

Spearheading the workation, CEO of Desygner, Alex Rich, who envisions exceptional work culture for his staff by creating unique working environments a couple of times a year in beautiful locations worldwide said, "Instead of just investing in traditional startup slacks and ping-pong tables in the office, we are going one step further and investing in places people want to work from, in dream locations".

"When you have a software company like Desygner with over 3 million lines of code and 30+ million users, you tend to focus on the bigger strategic projects, and smaller projects get missed. Therefore, the hackathon strategy pushes us to be more innovative than the larger companies to excel," he says. 

Speaking about the idea of a hackathon in Bali, Daniel de Byl, who is a QA Automation Developer at Desygner, said, "I love working at the office, but the workation in Bali is next level. I am super excited to be part of an event like this and work with colleagues from around the world face-to-face. It's an experience to treasure for a lifetime."
