Personal finance resolutions for 2020

How are your personal finances doing? How
much have they changed over the past 10 years?

Overall, average income hasn't increased much
over the past decade, while home values in many

Ilyce Glink parts of the country have soared. Consumers are
carrying the most credit card debt ever, and
student loan debt has been growing dramatically,

especially for borrowers in their 50s and 60s.

According to the Federal Reserve, 40% of
Americans don't have $400 in the bank for

emergencies. Rising healthcare costs have put
added pressure on consumers. LIMRA's Secure
Retirement Institute (SRI) notes that just 44% of

Americans believe their Social Security check,

pension and retirement savings will cover their
Samuel J. Tamkin expenses in retirement.

Why are so many people struggling in what is

arguably the best economy in a decade? Part of the answer is
incomes haven't gone up that much over the past 20 years. In
2016, the U.S. median income was just over $59,000, or a few

dollars over the median income in 2000, on an inflation-adjusted
basis.

Wage increases and lower tax rates haven't come close to

making up for increases in living expenses, health care cost

increases and education expenses. Financial illiteracy runs
rampant.

Employers are finally recognizing the cost of having employees

who are financially stressed, and they are providing financial
wellness assistance above and beyond having a 401(k) plan. Ilyce
has seen tremendous growth and maturity in the financial

wellness benefits space, with employers adding sophisticated
platforms with artificial intelligence, financial education, student
loan debt repayment, micro-loans and even ways to get an

advance on pay (which, while far from ideal, is still better than
using a payday lender or borrowing against 401(k) savings).

Who pays for condo damage done by
contractors hired by the association?

Ilyce Glink Q: Last year my condo association had a
company replace the roof in many of our
buildings. I live on the top floor of my building.
When the new roof was installed, it created a
leak that came down and damaged my kitchen
ceiling.

My association is stating that they are only
responsible for the repair up to priming, and not
painting. I painted my unit about six months
ago; now it's going to cost me over $500 to
repaint the kitchen.

As the association engaged the roofers to put should fall on the roofer or the association. What do you think?

Samuel J. Tamkin on the new roof, and the leak was no fault of A: When you buy into a condominium association, you buy into
mine in any way, how is it possible that I could everything that goes along with the ownership, including
management and the contractors that management hires to repair
be forced to pay for the repairs to my ceiling? I feel that this or upgrade items in the property.

One of the rules that generally applies in condominium
associations is that damage to a unit caused by the association
needs to be covered by the unit owner and the unit owner's
insurance carrier.

Let's take a step back. In your condominium, you basically own
the airspace that is within the walls of the unit. When you
purchased the condominium unit, you might have received a copy
of the condominium governing documents and the plan for the
floor in which your unit is located. When you look at that plan,
the plan will tell you where your unit is located on that floor and
it will also show the exterior walls of your unit. You basically own
everything inside the shell of that space from the drywall in, or in
your case from the primer coat into and through the space.

If your condo docs are drafted this way, then you would be
responsible for repainting of your unit even though the damage
was caused by the contractor.

That said, you might be able to file a homeowners insurance
claim for damage caused by the work. If the damage had been
caused by a neighbor, you'd file a claim and your insurance
company would then try to get reimbursed by the neighbor's
insurance company.

The problem is if the cost is small, you might get an outsized
increase to your homeowners insurance premium. You could talk
with the contractor and explain that they have caused damage
during the repair process and see if you can negotiate a few
hundred dollars to repaint the ceiling. That might be a faster and
easier thing to get done rather than filing insurance claims. You'd
get your costs covered and everyone would avoid an insurance
headache.

At the end of the day, this is part of the cost of living in a condo
building, and you'll have to eat this expense if the contractor
won't cover it for you.

file the edges of the cut to remove all burrs as they might cut the
O-ring as you slide the tubing into the fitting.

Once you fully insert the tubing into the fitting, you select the
tool jaw that matches the size of the piping you're working with.
When you open the jaws, they spring back; you lightly clamp
around the raised ridge of the fitting and then squeeze the tool's
trigger. In three to five seconds the jaws compress and produce a
slight crimping around both the fitting and the tubing.

This compression squeezes the O-ring tightly around the copper
tubing, creating a leak-proof joint. To do this same operation
soldering one end of a fitting to a piece of tubing would take at
least two minutes or more.
