Pulse oximeters measure the percentage of oxygen in the blood when clipped onto a fingertip. And according to HuffPost, they're becoming increasingly popular for home use. People are buying them to monitor a family member if he or she becomes seriously ill with COVID-19. Doctors praise the use of pulse oximeters because they can alert people who don’t realize they’re gravely ill to the fact that their body is struggling for oxygen. One of the biggest worries with COVID-19 is when someone doesn’t realize their oxygen levels have dropped because they don’t actually feel unwell. It's a phenomenon sometimes referred to as happy hypoxia or silent hypoxia. As a normal reading usually ranges from 95-100%, if your reading is under 95%, it's a red flag. Seek medical attention immediately.
Just because you've worked hard and saved for years, don't be complacent--it doesn't mean you can afford to retire. According to Business Insider, if you haven't upped your savings rate over the years, you may not have saved enough. That's because the typical 3% people put into their 401(k)s just isn't enough to cut it these days. Another red flag is that you saved cash over the years, but didn't invest it. Despite the vagaries of the stock market, investing money is better than stuffing it into a piggy bank. Finally, if you've made significant early withdrawals from your retirement plan, you're probably years away from retirement. Preparing for retirement is a matter that requires planning, strategy, and active participation. Seek out professional advice.
Zoe Financial CEO Andres Garcia-Amaya interviewed 1,325 financial advisors, planners, and accountants in the process of starting the company. And according to Business Insider, he learned to spot five red flags to look for when considering engaging a personal financial adviser. First, Garcia-Amaya warns you should watch out for anyone overly focused on short-term gains. After all, most people use advisers for help with long-range goals. Next, if an adviser immediately starts pushing you towards just one particular financial instrument, such as an annuity, on the first meeting be concerned. Also, are they bragging about how many clients they have, or trying to convince you they can beat the market? Next! Finally, just search the SEC's website for the adviser's name. That will reveal any bankruptcies they have or complaints made against them.
