Dave Says B Y D AV E R A M S E Y

WIFE WINS

—Dave

Dear Dave,

IRA TO GOLD? BAD IDEA

We just started following your plan, and we have $39,000 in debt. We make $55,000 a year, and two of our smaller debts — one car and a credit c a r d — a r e b o t h $ 7, 5 0 0. T h e c r e d i t c a r d h a s a higher interest rate, so my wife thinks we should pay it off first. I look at the car as a necessity, and for that reason I think we should pay it off first. Who’s right?

Dear Dave,

-Pat Dear Pat, When the rules of paying off debts from smallest to largest don’t apply, I look at things this way: If you have two debts that are of equal amounts, I would attack the one with the larger interest rate first. In your case, that would be the credit card debt.

I get what you’re saying about the car. You guys might be in a bind if something happened and you l o s t o n e c a r. B u t i t ’s a l s o s o m e t h i n g y o u c o u l d work around if you had no other choice. So yeah, knock out the credit card first then move on to the car. Going this route will serve two purposes: First, it will save you some money. And second, I’ve got a feeling it will fire up your wife and get her on board with the plan even more than she already is.

She’s taking this seriously if she’s eyeballing interest rates, Pat. So use this momentum to work together, and knock out that debt!!

What are your thoughts on transferring an IRA over to gold?

-Sandy

D e a r S a n d y, Honestly, I think that’s about the dumbest thing a person could do. I hope I wasn’t unclear.

Gold is going down like a rock right now as people start to believe in the economy and the economic d i r e c t i o n o f t h i s c o u n t r y a g a i n . T h e s t o c k m a r ke t indicates this is true, and in the process, gold becomes worth less and less. Gold is essentially a fear-based product, and the less fear that’s out there, the cheaper gold is.

That’s not how you want to fund your IRA, Sandy. You want to fund it with something that has a long track record based on growth due to the performance of the companies involved — not someone’s greed or fear. Gold is a horrible investment, and I don’t o w n a n y exc e p t f o r o n e n i c e w a t c h a n d a p a i r o f cufflinks. That’s it!

Every human resources manager, and indeed every parent, knows that there is more than one kind of intelligence. Some toddlers can take one look at a disorganized jumble of blocks and construct an elaborate structure their parents of which their parents will be proud and their classmates will be envious. When those kids grow up and become engineers and architects, they will be just as good at seeing the

inherent structure in a seemingly random pile of plywood and metal. That special intelligence is nothing to sneeze at, and it has served scientists and engineers well for hundreds or even thousands of years. But special intelligence is not the only kind of intelligence, and not the only form of smarts human resources specialists will find interesting. Emotional intelligence is just as critical to success in the workplace, and every human resources manager can attest to its importance. It is emotional intelligence that allows a gifted manager to connect with his or her workers on a human level, taking them to new levels of performance and boosting the effectiveness of every team member. It is emotional intelligence that allows front-line customer service representatives to empathize with the needs of their callers, and it is emotional intelligence that makes those representatives go the extra mile to solve problems for the customers who contact them. The dictionary defines emotional intelligence as the ability to express and control one's emotions. That ability, combined with an awareness VOL. 21 ISSUE 1070

GENERAL of emotion and strong interpersonal relationship skills, has obvious benefits for all kinds of workplaces, and that is why this unique form of intelligence is so highly prized by hiring managers and human resources experts.

! G N I R I E ARE H

There are countless examples of how emotional intelligence can benefit both employers and employees. Think about a contentious labor relations meeting, with emotions running high and each side dug into its position. A skilled negotiator with a high level of emotional intelligence will be able to see the issues from both sides and negotiate from a position of understanding. Likewise a skilled manager with a high level of emotional intelligence will be able to guide troubled employees through the counseling they need, salvaging a relationship that might otherwise have been lost. Simply put, hiring individuals with high levels of emotional intelligence, especially for supervisory and managerial positions, can have real implications

8You H oliday Traditions Can Cut, Keep, or Totally Rethink Courtesy of DaveRamsey.com

ach year we look forward to certain family traditions, like baking Granny’s gingerbread cookies or watching It’s a

Wonderful Life with the kids. But sometimes all those fun traditions can get overwhelming. That’s why we’re giving you permission to choose what you want to do this year. Ignore the pressure to people-please, and instead pick the traditions that don’t stress you out. It’s your holiday, after all. And it’s going to be awesome as long as you’re with the people you love — no matter how you celebrate. The key to deciding what stays and what goes is to ask yourself: Do I actually want to do this?, Can I actually afford this?, and Do I really have time for this?

Here are eight holiday traditions to get you started:

1. Annual Christmas Bash

Some people love hosting Christmas parties. Cooking for 50? No problem! But if you’d rather not spend two precious weeks in December planning and prepping for your annual Christmas open house, then don’t. Forget the cheese ball, sherbet punch, and mini gherkins, and just get together with a few close pals at a local restaurant. Split the check and enjoy a simple, stress-free evening with your nearest and dearest. Or, if you love throwing parties but hate the cost, invite less people. Make it a potluck, or ask someone else to co-host and share the responsibility. It’s your party — do what you want!

2. Competitive Lights Display

Don’t let your Christmas-crazy neighbors guilt you into a lights display worthy of Rockefeller Center. If your family enjoys looking at lights, pack a thermos of hot chocolate and drive around town to admire the best of the over-the-top yards. It’s free, and you don’t have to freeze your tail off! If you prefer decking out your house with lights but don’t have the time, start early and stop when your energy does. Make sure you’re decorating your house because you like it, not because you’re trying to match the neighborhood. Your time and money matter more than how many cars drive by.

3. Elf on the Shelf

This one is a hot-button issue. So we won’t get into the pros and cons. We’ll just say this: If you’re pro-Elf, make it easier on yourself by not getting too elaborate. Sparkles doesn’t need to build a Rube Goldberg machine in the middle of the night. Keep it simple and keep it fun. And if you’re over Buddy, just tell your kids he went back to the North Pole this year — for good. They’ll be fine, we promise.

4. The Shopping Frenzy

We like a deal as much as the next person, but if you’re shopping “for sport,” take a time-out. It’s okay to get a rush from the shopping DECEMBER 16, 2016 38season — buying stuff should be fun! But don’t let the pressure to

spend destroy your budget. Take control of your money by creating a Christmas-specific money plan and a detailed gift list. And stop shopping when your list is complete! If you have extra energy to burn, try a family game of flag football. It’s much less dangerous than the mall (well, maybe).

5. Family Portrait Christmas Cards

Photo cards are a sweet tradition, but they aren’t a must. It’s okay if you didn’t have time or money to schedule a photographer, buy matching red-and-white outfits, and order hundreds of glossy prints this year. Cards are a meaningful gesture, but don’t make them more difficult or more expensive than they have to be. You can still have a great tradition by limiting your card list and having the kids help you craft some sweet letters with stickers and glitter — how fun is that?

6. Price-Inflated Plane Tickets

Instead of heading home for the holidays, why not visit your family in January or February when the prices have come down? You could even start a new tradition, like meeting your folks in a fun city between your two towns. Imagine a calm, post-holiday vacation for half the price and half the crowd. Now that’s peace on earth. Or if you’re looking forward to being with your parents and siblings over Christmas but need to save money, grab your tickets and skip the bulky presents. You’ll save on baggage fees and the stress of making sure your stuff doesn’t get crushed. Make it easy with gift cards, or going up a day early and having a fun shopping day with a family member you rarely get to see.

7. A (Sort of) Freshly Cut Tree

Christmas trees are a must in most households, but if you dread the drama of picking the perfect, overpriced specimen from your local Boy Scouts, try something else. As in use the garage-sale special from your attic. (You know it’s in there.) Or buy one at your local hobby store with a coupon. A tree is just a base anyway. It’s how you decorate it (and who you decorate it with) that counts.

8. Swanky Gift Wrap

For some, it’s fun to see how Pinterest-worthy you can wrap your presents. But it can take some pretty pennies to buy all those handcrafted bows, spray-painted twigs and gold leaf paper bags that will be trashed on Christmas morning. Why not cover your presents in newspaper (which you can dye for a cool effect) or butcher paper instead? Then have your kids decorate the paper with stickers, stamps and crayon creations. Trim it with some bulk twine and you’re done!

Keep This in Mind

As you budget for the holidays, don’t break the bank in the name of tradition. Decide which customs are important to you and then see how they fit into your overall budget. If anyone asks why you’re not doing something this year, simply explain you want to spend more time with them and less time doing stuff for them. We have a feeling they’ll understand VOL. 21 ISSUE 1070 and love you more for it!

FLEXIBLE WORK Adjusting the when and where of your job by Elka Maria Torpey

Would you like to work fewer hours, set your own schedule, or work at home? Read here about some of the options for balancing your job with your life.

llen Celarek’s top priority is her kids. So, when looking for a job, she makes familyfriendly work a priority, too. With flexibility in mind, Celarek, of Schaumburg, Illinois, found employment that lets her work at home part time, often during the hours of her choice. “My job fits perfectly with my schedule,” she says. “I can take the kids to the doctor or help out at school when I want.” Many people today are seeking flexibility at work. Parents, like Celarek, may want more time for family. Students hope to fit employment into a busy class schedule. And some people look for work after retirement. Whatever their situation, they’re not alone in wanting a job that’s a better match for their lives.

GET FLEXIBLE: WORK ON YOUR TERMS

Everyone has preferences regarding flexibility and work. For some, the ideal flexibility might mean bringing an infant to work for onsite childcare. For others, it might mean choosing the types of tasks that they do. Still others might seek a career that lets them leave their job for a while, then return later without having to take a cut in pay or seniority. Your own preferences for flexibility and the types of jobs you’ll consider may depend on personal needs, skills, educational background, and other factors. But whatever your circumstances, there are some general ways to enhance the flexibility of your work, either by making a current job more flexible or by changing to a more accommodating one.

START WITH YOUR CURRENT JOB

If you’re already working, ask your employer if your position can be adapted to fit your needs. Before talking to your boss, however, prepare to make a strong case for how flexibility benefits your employer as well as yourself. Start by looking into flexible work options and your employer’s policies on their use. Find out if other employees have successfully used the arrangements that interest you. And for arrangements that involve cutting back on work hours, talk to the human resources department to learn how your benefits might be affected. After gathering some facts, write up a formal proposal to present to your supervisor or whoever has the authority to agree to the change. A strong proposal 16, 2016 will work and what its 44 DECEMBER explains how the arrangement

advantages are. It anticipates concerns that a supervisor or manager might have, such as coordinating staff meetings around a flexibly scheduled worker—and then presents solutions, such as an agreement to go to the office on days when meetings are held. Lois Backon, of the Families and Work Institute in New York, suggests giving your supervisor specific options. “People like choices, managers like choices,” she says. “They like to be presented with solutions that work for both the employee and employer.” In addition, Backon suggests offering to try the arrangement as a pilot program or for a specified time and then meeting to discuss how it is going and whether it should continue. Not all positions can accommodate flexible arrangements, and not all employers are willing to try them. But if your current job isn’t suited for flexibility, you might be able to find another one that is.

GET A DIFFERENT JOB

If you need to change jobs to meet your requirements, you’ll discover that looking for a flexible position is much like looking for any other type of position. The difference is that you make flexibility a priority, just as you might emphasize salary or location. Michael Smyer, professor of psychology at Boston College’s Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in Boston, gives jobseekers looking for flexibility the same advice he gives to any jobseeker. “You have to answer three questions,” says Smyer, also the co-chair of the school’s Center on Aging and Work. “First, what about work do you really like? Second, what are you good at? And third, who’s going to pay you to do this?” Later, address how to make the work flexible and which employers and types of jobs are likely to be adaptable.

FINDING FLEXIBILITY.

Sometimes, a job search is easier if you start with what you know. This approach worked for Doris D’Errico of Youngstown, Ohio. Before retiring as a registered nurse, D’Errico asked her employer to rehire her in a more flexible position. Now, as a per diem nurse, she works for the same hospital but has greater control over the days she works. And her job matches the lifestyle she wanted in retirement. “I can basically work at my pleasure,” she says. “The best part is that I’m retired, but I can still remain active in work I’m familiar with.” Other times, you might want to consider a new line of work or a new employer. Celarek, for example, worked in the travel industry before starting a family. When her job no longer accommodated her desired schedule, she left it and eventually switched to a field—and an employer—that did.

FLEX-FRIENDLY WORKPLACES.

Some employers are known for allowing flexibility. The Federal Government is one employer that lets many of its workers participate in flexible work options. Rankings of the best workplaces, such as those for working parents or for information technology workers, can help you identify other employers who excel at offering flexibility. But many employers not found on rankings also provide the possibility for flexible work. Employer recruitment materials, including Web site career

sections, often indicate when employees are eligible for certain flexible arrangements. Another way to determine an employer’s flex-friendliness is to inquire directly. You might, for example, ask during an interview about the organization’s work-life benefits. Remember, however, that employers seek candidates who are qualified for the job and whose main focus is work—not flexibility. For this reason, experts caution that jobseekers wait until after they’re offered a job to ask a prospective employer if they can work at home or for other flexible benefits. And keep in mind that many employers require new employees to complete a probationary period before they are eligible for flexible scheduling or part-time work.

MORE TO CONSIDER

Getting a flexible work arrangement can be situation specific. Even if an organization is in favor of flexible options, there is no guarantee that you will be allowed to use them. Employer reluctance to embrace flexibility may be based on previous failed attempts. “If a boss had a bad experience with an employee who misused the policies, he or she will feel differently than if it was a positive experience,” says Backon. “Both employers and employees need to know that workplace flexibility must work for the business as well as for the individual.” And flexible options have disadvantages. Overall, jobs that allow greater flexibility require you to be more accommodating, too. Celarek’s position, for example, involves a certain amount of give and take. Her workload—and earnings—can be unpredictable. And if she doesn’t get everything done during regular business hours, she might need to stay awake until 1 or 2 a.m. to finish.

WORK LESS

One way to create scheduling flexibility is to work less. Working less can mean being on the job fewer hours each week or having more time off during the year. Cutting back on work hours frees up time for other activities. Working less is not always voluntary. Some workers end up taking part-time or temporary positions when they can’t find full-time or permanent ones. Yet for workers who choose to log fewer hours, arrangements such as part-time jobs, job sharing, and on-call, temporary, contract, and seasonal work are invaluable. Part-time jobs If the standard 40-hour, 9-to-5 schedule sounds like too much, then maybe you want a part-time arrangement. Pros and cons. With a part-time job, you can earn a regular, although reduced, paycheck and maintain ties to the workforce. Plus, part-timers like that they have more time for the things that motivated them to seek flexibility in the first place. “Definitely,” says Celarek, “the best part of my job is being there for my children.” But before reducing your work hours, consider how your financial situation will be affected by earning less. Calculate your monthly expenditures, taking into 21 ISSUE accountVOL. any savings in 1070 work-related expenses, such as

commuting or daycare, and compare them with your expected earnings. This will help you figure out if a parttime income is sufficient. Also remember that part-time workers often receive reduced benefits, such as employer contributions to healthcare or retirement plans. Reduced benefits may be prorated, which means that the employee is required to pay a greater percentage of the actual cost. If you can get benefits from another source, such as through a spouse’s job, then this aspect of part-time work might not matter to you. Additionally, some part-timers say that it’s difficult to do their jobs well in a limited amount of time. As a result, they sometimes end up working more hours than they are paid for.

JOB SHARING

Job sharing allows you to cut back on work hours and still get tasks done—with the help of someone else. Essentially a type of part-time work, job sharing is an arrangement in which two or more workers are responsible for the duties and tasks of one full-time position. Some job shares are set up so that each person handles specific duties; others involve less formal divisions of work. Job sharers usually coordinate their schedules. Each works at times or on days that the other does not. The percentage of time worked by each might be 50-50 or any other agreed-upon combination. And job sharers often plan to overlap some hours so that they can fill each other in on what the other has missed. Pros and cons. Job sharing allows part-time workers to fill positions that typically require full-time work. And sometimes, this arrangement allows workers to keep half the benefits of a full-time job. If you enjoy working as part of a team and are open to letting someone else take over some of your job tasks, then you might be well suited to job sharing. Ideally, jobshare partners should work well together, which can include having similar work habits and complementary strengths and skills. Being able to communicate with your partner is also important. Occupations with easily divisible tasks, such as dental hygienists, are usually more conducive to sharing. Still, some job sharers find that the arrangement creates added complexities. And like those considering other forms of part-time employment, you must decide if you’re willing to live with less pay and fewer benefits. You might partner with a current coworker or with almost anyone your employer is willing to hire, so long as he or she is qualified for your job. Networking with friends and colleagues can help you identify possible partners. Or use job-share advertisements in trade magazines or other publications that are read by workers in your field.

ON-CALL, TEMPORARY, CONTRACT, AND SEASONAL WORK

Maybe you would be willing to work as needed, provided it fits your schedule. Perhaps you want to work 2 days one week and 5 the next. Or you might like to work full-time but have summers off. To increase your time off, consider seeking jobs that involve on-call, temporary, contract, or seasonal work. On-call arrangements involve working as needed— and, sometimes, at the last minute. For example, nurse Doris D’Errico works on call. When hospital administrators need someone to cover a shift, they contact her. “I usually know a couple of weeks ahead of time when I’m going to work,” says D’Errico. “They can call on the day I’m needed, but I have the option of saying yes or no.” Typically, she must work a certain number of hours each month to continue the arrangement.

VOL. 21 ISSUE 1070

Temporary arrangements are those in which workers are hired by an agency to provide short-term help. Because these workers decide whether to accept the assignments offered to them, they may have considerable flexibility over how much they work. And even though individual assignments may not be permanent, many temporary workers take these jobs regularly. Contract arrangements can also give workers control over their assignments and hours. Some contract workers are hired by a contract firm to perform a job, often for a specified time or task. Others are independent contractors and sell their services to companies as freelancers or consultants. Some independent contractors might work in wage and salary positions, but many others are self-employed and find their own jobs. Seasonal jobs offer blocks of time with less work. If you choose to pursue seasonal employment, however, keep in mind the times or seasons that you would prefer to work. Tax preparers, for example, have more time off between May and December, whereas construction and landscape workers, especially those in colder climates, often have reduced workloads during the winter. Pros and cons. On-call, temporary, and contract workers usually like that they can choose among the assignments offered. Plus, hourly earnings are sometimes higher for these workers than for permanent employees. And seasonal workers enjoy having periodic work that is fairly predictable. But not having a consistent income is one obvious drawback to any job that allows time off. Some jobs, such as those in teaching, take this into account by apportioning salary over the entire year. Other workers take multiple seasonal jobs—perhaps working as a camp counselor during summer months and as a school field hockey coach during the academic year, for example. Having a sporadic schedule is less problematic if you have another source of income or if you don’t have other pressing commitments. D’Errico, for example, uses her earnings to supplement her retirement income and can usually change her plans on short notice, so the uncertainty is not a problem. “With my job, there’s no guarantee that I’ll have work,” she says. “The hospital can call and tell me to stay home, and that’s fine for me. But this would be a downside for someone who was counting on that money or who had already arranged for babysitting.” An additional consideration for these jobs is that the agency or firm that matches you to temporary or contract assignments takes a percentage of what you make. And although some of these arrangements might command higher hourly earnings, other employerprovided benefits are not always included.

WORK AT HOME

Working at home—sometimes called telecommuting, teleworking, and flexiplacing—offers many advantages to those who seek flexibility. The work that people do at home is either for someone else—working at home either some or all of the time—or for themselves. These types of arrangements are often best suited to highly motivated workers who enjoy being on their own.

WORK ALTERNATIVE HOURS

Another way to fit a job around personal schedules is to work outside the standard Monday-throughFriday, 9-to-5 timetable. Sometimes, alternative work schedules vary slightly from traditional ones. Other times, the differences are broader. Depending on your preferences, it’s often possible

to break out of the norm. Shift work, flexible scheduling, compressed workweeks, and compensatory time off are ways to do it.

SHIFT WORK

Night owls, early risers, or almost anyone else who wants more daytime hours free might consider working a nonstandard shift. Work shifts can start and end at any time. This section discusses night, evening, and weekend shifts, which are most conducive to schedule flexibility. Weekend work is another option that can make your usual weekday schedule easier to manage. Pros and cons. Some people feel most productive at odd hours, which makes it easier for them to work early mornings, evenings, or nights. And full-time shift workers often receive employer-paid benefits. Workers often prefer shift work because it helps them to coordinate with other family members’ schedules or to coordinate work and other responsibilities. For example, a parent who works at night can be available for his or her children during the day. But these workers typically have to be on the job at a very specific time to start their shifts or to take over for someone else. Also, some people can’t choose their shift—and for most people, weekend work alone doesn’t provide enough income to meet expenses.

FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING, COMPRESSED WORKWEEKS & COMPENSATORY TIME OFF

If you don’t want a drastic change but still want more leeway in your work schedule, your best options might include flexible scheduling, compressed workweeks, or compensatory time off. Workers who have flexible schedules—commonly called flexitime arrangements, or “flex-time”—can alter their start and stop times to fit their needs. In some arrangements, a worker’s schedule might vary daily. Alternatively, workers change their hours only periodically. But in either case, they usually must be present during certain core hours, such as between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Another distinction is often made between formal and informal flexitime programs, with most workers falling into the second category. A compressed workweek arrangement involves working more hours on some days and having other days off. For example, a person might work 1 extra hour each of 9 days in a 10-day work period, and then take every other Friday off. Still another possibility is compensatory time off, often called “comp time.” With this arrangement, people who work more than the required number of hours are able to accumulate the extra hours, up to a specified limit, and take time off later. Pros and cons. Variable work schedules are an inexpensive way for employers to offer their workers greater flexibility. And for many people, minor changes in schedules are all they need to help manage work and life. Plus, these arrangements usually don’t affect earnings or benefits. Being able to arrive and leave earlier or later allows workers to avoid peak commuting times—and to work when they’re most productive. However, they might need to consider the impact of not being in the office at certain times or on the days they have off. As with other types of flexible arrangements that involve time off, people can miss important office events if they aren’t there when everyone else is. And some workers find it exhausting, or nearly impossible, to put in the longer days required for compressed workweeks or compensatory time off.

She was able to get a lead that had her working at a great job, for a new employer, in early February. Bill felt that he would need to move on to get promoted. I recommended he network internally and he met a senior executive at a company Christmas event. This initial contact developed into a mini-mentoring relationship, which helped Bill obtain a dream promotion a few months ago.
