Tips to Stay (Financially) Safe this Holiday Season The holidays are fast approaching, and everyone is figuring out how to make the most of the season. For many of us, it involves planning visits with family and friends, making travel arrangements, deciding who to shop for, and choosing what presents to buy. However, some people are making different types of plans.

They make plans for the best people to target, which phishing email to send that will get opened by the most people, what machines to target to install skimmers on, and what websites are the best to target online shoppers. Criminals make plans for the holidays just like the rest of us. Unfortunately, their planning involves how to take advantage of the distractions, goodwill, and generosity that are prevalent at this time of year. To help make the season a bit brighter, we’ve offered a few suggestions to stay financially safe this holiday season. After all, who wants to make it easy for the Grinch to steal Christmas?

Say “BAH HUMBUG” To In-Store Credit Card Offers Think about last time you were in a store shopping. How close was the person in line next to you? Standing shoulder to shoulder with a large number of strangers is not a good place to share important personal information, which is what you are doing when applying for a store credit card in the checkout line. While getting the store credit card to take advantage of shorter lines or a discount sounds great at first, you are sharing all the information that a person would need to steal your identity with everyone within a five foot radius of you.

The safest thing to do is avoid these offers in store. You don’t know anything about the security of the application process, the store employee’s integrity, or who is standing behind you. Always be aware of SHOULDER SURFING, where the person uses their phone to snap a picture of your completed application or to record you verbally providing all that personal info. Beyond the security risk, from a financial standpoint, the amount you end up paying in interest often negates any discount you received. Most people don’t pay their balances in full each month, particularly after the holidays, and many store credit cards have an APR of 20% or higher.

Have a Very Merry Christmas….with Visa and MasterCard While you should be cautious with in-store credit card offers, that doesn’t mean avoid plastic entirely. While you are out and about doing your holiday shopping, don’t reach for your debit card. Pick one or two credit cards to use for ALL of your holiday purchases – the gifts, the restaurants, the larger than normal grocery trips – ALL of it. Skimming is becoming more and more prevalent, data breaches are occurring all the time, and it’s become a case of when, not if, your card information will be compromised. EMV chip cards have helped somewhat in mitigating the risk of your card information being stolen while shopping in person, but there are still many places that aren’t up to speed, and EMV chips do nothing to protect you while shopping online. If you use your debit card and end up as part of a data breach, then it is your own real money that is at risk, as opposed to if you had used a credit card, where a line of credit is what has been compromised.

Don’t put the money that you use to pay bills, like your mortgage, at risk. Keep the debit card at home, and use one or two credit cards for your holiday purchases and activities. In only using one or two dedicated credit cards for all of your holiday needs, you are also able to mitigate your risk because your exposure is limited to only those one or two cards. When you use multiple cards at various stores and restaurants, you are opening yourself to the possibility that every single credit card you have can be compromised.

You aren’t Santa Claus – Leave the Big Bag at Home.

Ladies, leave your bulky purse at home this year. Don’t leave it in the car, or tuck it under the seat, or stash it in the trunk. They won’t hesitate to break a window or pry open the trunk if they see you leaving your purse in the car. These are criminals that we are talking about – they don’t care about damaging your car. Carry a small purse that has a zipper & USE the zipper. It does you no good if you leave the purse unzipped & your wallet sitting on top of everything. You just made it easy for a thief to grab as they walk past. Gents, you aren’t off the hook either - your bulky wallet is just as much of a brightly wrapped present as your wife’s giant purse – maybe even more so, because men typically carry every card they have in their wallet at any given

time. Don’t carry your wallet in your back pocket or the side pocket of your jacket. Carry it in your front pocket, or in an interior jacket pocket. If you are carrying your wallet inside your jacket, be sure to keep your jacket buttoned or zipped. The less you carry, the easier it will be for you to take care of your purse or wallet stolen or your card is compromised. Think survival of the fittest…travel light and carry only what you really need (one or two credit cards & your license) and leave everything else home.

Be a Tech Savvy Elf Shopping online can be a smart way to get your holiday gift giving taken care of – you avoid the crowds and can enjoy a glass of holiday cheer while completing your shopping in the comfort of your own home. While there are many benefits to this scenario, you still have to protect yourself. Fraudulent websites and apps so closely mirror the real thing, it can be almost impossible to tell, even with well-known sites like Amazon. Are you really are getting a great Cyber Monday deal for the ‘must have’ item of the season that your child is desperate for, or did you just sent your credit card information to a cybercriminal? Check the security certificate to make sure the site really is what you think it is, not a fake one. Again, ALWAYS use a credit card or secure payment option such as PayPal, and DO NOT store your credit card information. Protect your computer against spyware/malware/viruses etc. and keep it updated. Criminals constantly update their methods; we need to be just as vigilant in keeping antivirus and anti-malware software active and up to date.

Check Your Lists Twice During the holiday season, we are spending more money than we usually do, shopping at places we don’t normally patronize, and trying to cram in as much holiday celebration as we can in a small window of time.

All of this makes it EXTREMELY easy to overlook odd charges that you don’t recognize. We think it’s just some random holiday purchase that we can’t quite place, but actually, someone is stealing your money. This can frequently be caught simply by monitoring your accounts regularly. Pay VERY close attention to every charge that shows up. Many credit cards and bank accounts offer email/text alerts that you can customize to let you know about any charges that occur. You spend $$ at a store, and a short time later you receive an email or text that notifies you of the charge. If you don’t set up alerts, then the next best thing is to check your accounts online regularly to ensure that all of the charges are purchases that you made. If you receive an alert for an amount you don’t remember, or if you notice a charge for a purchase or a store that you don’t recognize, DO NOT WAIT to look into it. The sooner you detect fraudulent charges and activity, the faster it can be taken care of and you can get back to merrymaking and holiday celebrations. There’s an additional benefit to using alerts and closely monitoring your accounts – it’s easier to keep spending in check and prevent the holiday (financial) hangover that hits many people in January.

Act Like a Child on Christmas Eve Don’t Let Your Guard Down. Life isn’t like the movies, where you can tell who the bad guy is from the music playing in the background. Criminals come in all shapes and sizes and they make a living by setting a person at ease and taking advantage of the generosity of the holiday spirit. That cute little elf helping Santa at the mall, or the elderly woman you are standing beside in line could be just waiting to steal your information (or your wallet). That nice little boy standing on your doorstep claiming to be collecting for a charity could NEVER be a criminal….or could he? Just because someone doesn't fit your idea of what a criminal should look like, don't assume that they aren’t ready, willing, and more than capable of turning your picture perfect holiday season into a world class disaster.

The holiday season is upon us, and it really is a wonderful and joyous time of year. We hope these holiday financial tips will help keep your days merry and bright.

3 TIPS TO LIVE BETTER, NOT BUSIER

Jennifer Regester, LCSW, Clinical Director, Anchorpoint Counseling Ministry Prioritize What’s Important to You Think of everything you squeeze into every week. If you are caring for a parent or other loved one, your time is even more limited. Are you taking any time for yourself to decompress? Are you spending meaningful time with your family? Are you working on strengthening the relationships that are important to you?

It’s Okay to Say “No” Do you get caught in a cycle of saying “yes”? Your child wants to add a new sport, your friend wants to meet for dinner, you’re offered optional overtime at work, a neighbor asks for a favor… When you say “yes,” you have the right intentions. But what are you sacrificing in your own life and at home, and is it worth it?

Counseling Can Help Counseling can be a safe haven and a place of reprieve from the “go, go, go” of everyday life. If you are trying to figure things out, it can be helpful to build one hour into your week when you can pause and reflect on where you’ve been, where you are now and where you want to be.

We’re here to help!

Minimum wage increase passes in Pa. Senate;

bigger test will come in House The Pennsylvania Senate easily passed a compromise bill Wednesday that would gradually raise the state’s minimum wage to $9.50 per hour over the next two years.

Under the terms of Senate Bill 79, Pennsylvania’s minimum wage would move from $7.25 to $8 per hour on July 1, 2020. It would rise to $8.50 on Jan. 1, 2021; $9 on July 1, 2021; and then take the final step to $9.50 on Jan. 1, 2022.

Legislative Committee Corner

The bill passed on a 42-7 vote with only seven Republicans in opposition. Gov. Tom Wolf has been pushing for a higher minimum wage since taking office in 2015. But it faces a greater test in the state House of Representatives.

The wage issue has never been a favorite of the majority House Republicans, who have argued it’s insignificant when compared to other policy moves that could promote a warmer business climate and stronger economy for all Pennsylvanians.

But it is also has a chance to pull support in the House for several reasons:  Many elements of the state’s business community - though not all - have dropped their opposition to the increase, and actually like the hedge they believe it provides against Democratic Partyfavored proposals to raise the wage to $12 per hour or higher.  Wolf has agreed to drop a proposed regulatory effort to mandate overtime for more salaried, private sector workers - something business groups are also strongly opposed to - if the minimum wage hike is approved.

Much, sources say, will depend on intra-party caucus room arguments in the weeks ahead.

On Wednesday, however, supporters of a higher wage in the Senate spent most of their time debating over how much of a win this is for low-income workers.

“Any increase is a step in the right direction,” said Sen. Christine Tartaglione, D-Philadelphia and the prie sponsor of the bill carrying the increase. “Yet as we look to the future, much, much, much more must be done. I say this because a nine-fifty an hour full-time, full-year worker will still be earning less than twenty thousand dollars per year.”

Other Democrats were even less enthusiastic.

“We will vote to put money in the pockets of low-income working people, because somebody needs to do it," said Sen. Vince Hughes, D-Philadelphia and the raking Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee. “But let’s be clear... There is no win here. There’s no win. None that we should be celebrating.”

To that, Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman, R-Centre County and one of the architects of the minimum wage deal, retorted: “A lot of people think compromise is a four-letter word. It’s not. You know what is a four-letter word? Zero.

Gifts That Give Back - Holiday Gift-Giving Can Feel Good and DO Good

By Jan Stevens, Coldwell Bank

Looking for "special" holiday gifts that have meaning to the recipient but are not too "personal"? Stuck without an idea for your colleagues and associates? Not to mention teachers, babysitters, coaches, and family members...

Consider a donation or contribution in the person's name to a worthy cause that will have meaning to the recipient and/or address a need -- whether it's in our community or around the world.

Years ago, I worked for a small privately held company with a diverse workforce. One year the owner was inspired to forego the usual holiday party, gift cards, and poinsettias,and asked each employee to designate a charity of their choice to receive a donation in the employee's name. (The amounts varied with the employee's length of service.) The response was enthusiastic and the results were heartwarming -- in addition to predictable designations such as animal shelters and food banks, there were scholarship funds, adoption agencies, crisis centers, libraries, community organizations, and even choir robes for someone's church. Employees were invited (but not required) to share their choice and why they made it, and some great stories were shared..

For family and friends, you can make the choice, and customize the gift by making a donation that reflects their interests. A sports-oriented family might decide to donate equipment to a team in a disadvantaged area. For kids, consider something like the Heifer Project where the gift is "tangible". If you google "charity donations holiday gifts" you will find lots of possibilities!

For years I sent a holiday donation to the adoption agency from which we adopted our children -- as a gift acknowledged to their grandparents in lieu of a "normal" present. They loved it.

You can turn this into an experience for your family by shopping together for a gift for a disadvantaged person, or even delivering food to someone in need. Your family can be a "secret santa" for a family in your local area. Especially for younger kids, this can become a very meaningful and memorable part of your holiday tradition,. A fellow Chamber member writes:" I don’t know who “adopted” my family at Christmas one year but as a single mom of two boys I got a knock on my door from a group that brought me food right before Thanksgiving and then right before Xmas another knock and my boys got brand new coats/hats/gloves and a few gifts. I’ll never ever forget it and I always try to pay it forward."

A friend writes: 'Showed a Children's Home post to my son and asked if he’d like donations to that organization instead of gifts .. he went for it . He will be directly going to hand over the checks there. I think it will be life changing for my son" Charities are always appreciative and will happily acknowledge the gift as you specify. Many will provide literature or video showing how gifts are used. Sometimes you can arrange to deliver in person, which enhances the experience -- nursing homes and care homes might be especially open to this.

A simpler approach is to make one donation, but ask for input from the group as to where it should go - and it can be a different place each year.

Most find that if they add up the amounts they would spend on small gifts and gift cards they can make an impactful donation to a worthy cause. They also avoid the inherent stress in trying to pick the "right" gift, and avoid accidentally giving something that won't be used or appreciated. PLUS it is less stressful than shopping in a store, takes less time, and there may even be a tax benefit. And it feels good!

Year-End Tax Planning for Individuals With the end of the year fast approaching, now is the time to take a closer look at tax planning strategies you can use to minimize your tax burden for 2019.

ADVERTORIAL

General Tax planning Strategies General tax planning strategies for individuals include postponing income and accelerating deductions, and careful consideration of timing-related tax planning strategies with regard to investments, charitable gifts, and retirement planning.

For example, taxpayers might consider using one or more of the following:  Investments. Selling any investments on which you have a gain (or loss) this year. For more on this, see Investment Gains and Losses, below.  Year-end bonus. If you anticipate an increase in taxable income this year, in 2019, and are expecting a bonus at year-end, try to get it before December 31. Keep in mind, however, that contractual bonuses are different, in that they are typically not paid out until the first quarter of the following year. Therefore, any taxes owed on a contractual bonus would not be due until you file your 2020 tax return in 2021. Don't hesitate to call the office if you have any questions about this.  Charitable deductions. Bunching charitable deductions (scroll down to read more about charitable deductions) every other year is also a good strategy if it enables the taxpayer to get over the higher standard deduction threshold under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA). A second option is to put money into a donor advised fund that enables donors to make a charitable contribution and receive an immediate tax deduction. The fund is managed by a public charity on behalf of the donor, who then recommends how the money be distributed over time. Please call if you would like more information about donor advised funds.  Medical expenses. Medical expenses are deductible only to the extent they exceed a certain percentage of adjusted gross income (AGI), therefore, you might pay medical bills in whichever year they would do you the most tax good. To deduct medical and dental expenses in 2019, these amounts must exceed 10 percent of AGI. By bunching medical expenses into one year, rather than spreading them out over two years, you have a better chance of exceeding the thresholds, thereby maximizing the deduction.  Stock options. If your company grants stock options, then you may want to exercise the option or sell stock acquired by exercising an option this year. Use this strategy if you think your tax bracket will be higher in 2020. Generally, exercising this option is a taxable event; sale of the stock is almost always a taxable event.  Invoices. If you're self-employed, send invoices or bills to clients or customers this year to be paid in full by the end of December; however, make sure you keep an eye on estimated tax requirements.  Withholding. If you know you have a set amount of income coming in this year that is not covered by withholding taxes, there is still time to increase your withholding before year-end and avoid or reduce any estimated tax penalty that might otherwise be due. On the other hand, the penalty could be avoided by covering the extra tax in your final estimated tax payment and computing the penalty using the annualized income method.

NexTier Bank Nonprofit Spotlight Junior Achievement

Investing time in our communities is something many of us try to do. We see the benefits in all areas of life, including in our towns, local businesses, schools, and at home. Community involvement is perhaps most important where engagement is crucial to another's success - education is that area.

At Junior Achievement (JA), we believe that education should be built on a bridge of engagement between classroom and community. Together with our education partners, JA makes learning relevant to every student’s future by infusing authenticity, business connectivity and real role models into the everyday learning experience.

Over the past 100 years, JA has transformed from a one-dimensional learning experience of how to start a business to one in which young people can chart their future success both personally and professionally. Today, JA impacts more than 10 million students in 100 countries with programs that promote entrepreneurship, career readiness, and financial literacy. In western Pennsylvania, JA reaches nearly 70,000 students each year through the collaborative effort among JA volunteers, donors, educators, and staff. JA volunteers play an integral role in delivering the various k-12 programs that JA offers and relating the lessons to their real-world experiences.

Last year, over 2,500 passionate volunteers dedicated their time in the classrooms across 50 counties in western Pennsylvania and parts of West Virginia. JA volunteers come from all walks of life and serve as role models in the classroom. JA volunteers are local individuals from the community including, high school and college students, young professionals, parents, and retirees. JA also partners with organizations that provide financial support to help develop programs and other partnership efforts such as career fairs, and STEM initiatives.

When a student is involved in Junior Achievement programming, they are exposed to a variety of professional men and women who serve as their volunteers and mentors. These mentor relationships are life-changing for many. A Junior Achievement alumni surveys show 1 in 5 students go on to pursue the same profession as their classroom mentor. “I’ll never forget, as a fifth-grader in a struggling immigrant family, the first real relationship I had with an adult executive was with a Junior Achievement volunteer, and that relationship has had a profound effect on my life.” shares Juju Chang ABC News Anchor.

If you are interested in becoming a mentor or making a difference through a donation, contact Junior Achievement at 412-208-4747 or visit www.jawesternpa.org.
