Enjoy a frugal fall road trip

oad trips are a staple of


autumn for many
motorists. Fall foliage
and moderate temperatures
make the months of September
and October ideal months to
hit the open road for weekend
getaways.
Fall road trips rarely take
drivers too far away from home,
but traveling can still be costly.
Fortunately, there are many
ways to make road trips more
affordable without sacrificing
fun.
Explore alternatives to

more traditional lodging. If
your road trip includes an
overnight stay, consider alternatives to traditional lodging.
Hotels might stretch your
budget, but depending on
where you plan to go, you
might have some less traditional alternatives. Airbnb.com
allows homeowners and even
some apartment dwellers to
rent their homes and apartments to travelers, and these
listings may pale in comparison
to rates offered by nearby
hotels. If weather permits, look

for local campsites and spend


your nights sleeping outdoors
under the autumn stars. If you
prefer hotels, look for deals on
sites like Priceline.com or
Hotwire.com, which may offer
heavy discounts on rooms.
Take steps to conserve
fuel. Lodging might prove your
biggest expense on a fall road
trip, but fuel likely wont be too
far behind. Drivers can cut fuel
costs in several ways. Before
beginning your trip, take your
car in for a tune-up so any

Is retirement an entitlement?

ategory I: Some people believe that written in some big book


somewhere, all Americans are
entitled to a retirement free of
financial stress and worry.
There are no prerequisites, laws
or rules listed in their financial
planning bible that ensure this
stress-free retirement, like living below ones means for
decades to generate and invest
the funds necessary to become
financially independent, or the
requirement to secure an education in financial management. No, these folks are either
hoping that manna from heaven will fall from the sky, specifically on their roof. They bask
in the power of the voting
booth, voting for the systematic destruction of the wealthy,
those who made sacrifices and
took the risks to attain and
retain their wealth, by taxing
them into oblivion under the
rouse of paying their fair
share. It doesnt matter to
Category I people that there
are not enough rich people to
tax to fulfill this objective,
even if the tax rate were 100
percent of everything they possess!

Category II: Other people just


plain ignore the facts and
responsibility for proper financial management up to and
during their own retirement. If
they dont think about it,
either it will just take care of
itself or theyll worry about it
when they get there, thinking
the government will bail them
out and provide for them.
Category III: These folks are
waiting for, and depending on,

an inheritance to secure their


financial future.
Category IV: This employee
was terminated for lack of output, a bad attitude and extreme
habitual tardiness. He was written-up for these offensives multiple times before being terminated. He immediately showed
up at the unemployment office
to file his claim, which was
summarily denied as he was
fired for cause with proof, as
evidenced by his own signature
accepting responsibility from
his quarterly reviews. One
week later he appealed the
decision and was immediately
reimbursed for the previous
week and given benefits for 99
weeks. Amazingly, he just got a
job at the exact moment his 99
weeks of unemployment
checks were about to cease. He
is probably also a Category I
individual at the same time.
Category V: There is another
class of people who are practicing the techniques, fundamentals and strategies of wealth
accumulation for a successful
financial future. They have
learned what to do and practice
it every paycheck and more.
They consistently engage in
self-talk, debating wants vs.
needs. They spend less to save
and invest more. They are
focused on winning the money
game and the game of life, of
which we are all participants.
These people are task-driven
and will at the very least give it
their best shot always! If
there isnt enough from their
primary paycheck to save and
invest adequately, these people
will secure a second paycheck

from a part-time job or with


the help of a spouse or a partner.
Which of the five categories best describes you?
Which of the five categories
would you most like to resemble? This should be a rhetorical
question, but shamefully, it is
not.
I used to believe that most
people agreed the job should be
given to the best person, not
given to a lesser qualified candidate because of race, color,
creed or gender. I used to
believe that most people were
embarrassed to collect benefits
from the government, whether
it was unemployment, food
stamps, disability, housing, education, medical or any other
form of assistance. I used to
believe that the majority of
people would wish, hope and
pray for an opportunity, not a
handout. I used to believe that
America was the land of great
opportunity, where one could
stake his claim and claim his
stake.
I used to believe that our
great nation had no end in
sight. I used to believe that if I
earned my financial independence, it was mine and mine
alone. I used to believe that
America was the land of the
free and home of the brave
with outstretched arms for all
those willing to work and fight
for the opportunity to be a success, and who had a responsible
party to sponsor them in case of
sub-par results.
I used to believe that

Americans were the biggest


givers and donors to charity,
not recipients of charity. I used
to believe that America was
the land of opportunity, not the
land of entitlement. I used to
believe that America was the
most feared and respected
nation on the planet, for if any
nation were to compromise the
sanctity of another, we would
use the threat of our great military might, along with our economic prowess, to assuage the
aggressor into submission.
I used to be a very proud
American citizen, but lately my
pride has been tarnished by
both the actions and inactions
of our government. I used to
believe it was an honor to be a
politician, representing and
voting on behalf of your constituents ideas and ideals, not
to vote yourself a pay raise and
a superior health plan over the
people you serve.
I used to believe in a
bright, idyllic future for my
children, not marred by poverty, violence and crime one
where they could strive to be
financially independent; yet
upon closer examination I find
that my generation was the last
generation to have greater
opportunities than their parents. I used to believe that all
great innovations and inventions were first theorized then
produced here in America, but
those days are now merely a
memory.
I used to believe in a federal government balance sheet
with debits, credits and
accountability, but a $18.5 tril-

lion deficit has made general


accounting principles impossible to follow now. I used to
believe in a days labor for a
days pay and that charitable
organizations were created to
help charity needing recipients, not the federal or state
governments. I used to believe
that the government would
incentivize businesses to create
jobs and not become the largest
employer in NJ and in the
USA!
I used to believe that a
dollar and a dream meant starting a business for yourself, not
the illusion of winning the lottery. I used to believe that if I
were sick, I could choose my
own doctor and hospital, paid
for by my own health insurance
plan that I paid for by my
choice. I used to believe that
Air Force One was for the
Presidents use, not for the first
Lady, without him, to travel
across the world spending $10
million on vacations and dresses, especially when there are
Americans who are starving
and out of work.
I used to believe and
still do that we can improve
and repair our countrys ailments before its too late. I used
to believe and still do
that individuals can become
financially independent and
afford to retire with great
promise. I used to believe
and still do that together we
can overcome our partisan differences for the greater good,
firstly by gaining some fiscal
responsibility in Washington,
reducing then eliminating the
deficit without increasing

taxes. I believe that my children together with yours can


make America great again,
where our flag will regain the
prestige and pride it once had,
making Americans the envy of
the world.
Please be a Category V
individual and family, leading
the cause that retirement is not
an entitlement. It is a goal
requiring sacrifices and work
that each of us must accomplish for ourselves!

Plan today for future long-term care costs

ccording to the U.S.


Department
of
Health and Human
Services, nearly 70% of people turning age 65 will require
long-term care, such as assistance with basic personal
activities during their lifetimes. With costs of this care
ranging from $6,000 to
$10,000 a month or more,

planning to address that risk is


a smart move.
One solution is longterm care insurance. A policy
can protect your estate against
the impact of extended medical or rehabilitation services.
However, the cost of insurance may have you considering taking your chances and
letting Medicare or Medicaid

step in once your resources are


depleted. But what happens
when either you or your
spouse requires nursing home
care while the other is healthy
and living independently?
Purchasing long-term
care insurance has drawbacks.
For one, if you never need
long-term care, the premiums
you paid are wasted. You may

be able to mitigate this somewhat by choosing a flexible


policy with life insurance benefits.
Another drawback: You
face the risk that the insurance company you select will
go out of business. Choosing
an insurer that is highly rated
for financial strength can ease
your mind.

On the plus side, longterm care insurance offers tax


benefits. When you itemize,
all or part of the premium for
qualified plans are deductible
as
health
care
costs.
Depending on the type of policy you buy, benefits paid are
generally not considered taxable income.
If you think long-term

care insurance is right for you,


remember that coverage costs
less when youre younger.
Premiums are based on your
age and health, and tend to
increase past age 60. Another
cost-saving move to consider
is a shared-care policy with
a combined pool of coverage
that you and your spouse
share.
Contact our office before
making the final decision to
buy long-term care insurance.
Well help you do a cost-benefit analysis.

What to do when your cat needs a bath

ccording to the
American Society
for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals,
indoor cats rarely need baths.
Thats because indoor cats
use their tongues and teeth
to stay relatively clean.
While cats can benefit from
routine brushing, which can
reduce shedding and cut
back on hairballs, the bath
tub is a place cats need not
visit regularly.
But sometimes cats find
themselves in sticky situations that dirty their coats
and give them a less than
agreeable odor. In such
instances, a bath may be the

only way to clean up your


cat. Cat owners concerned
about bathing cats can consider the following tips, courtesy of the ASPCA.
Trim the claws. Cats are
unlikely to find a bathtub
comfortable, so cat owners
should expect them to resist.
Owners can protect themselves from such resistance
by trimming their cats claws
prior to bath time.
Brush your cats hair.
Matted hair can be a nuisance come bath time, and
that can translate into a
lengthier bath that will try
the patience of cat and
owner alike. Just before bath

time, brush your cats hair to


loosen any matted areas.
Once hair has been brushed,
gently insert some cotton
into your cats ears to prevent
water from getting inside
them.
Choose the right time.
Mellow or tired cats are less
likely to resist a bath than
well-rested cats with lots of
energy, so choose a time of
day when your cat is typically mellow to give the animal
its bath. Allow the cat to
play with some toys prior to
bath time so he or she grows
a little tired.
Use a bath mat. Cats
likely wont be comfortable

in the tub or sink, and that


comfort level is only further
compromised if they are slipping around. Use a bath mat
so your cat is not slipping
and sliding.
Use lukewarm water.
When bathing your cat, use
only lukewarm water. Get
your frisky friend wet in
three to four inches of water
before gently massaging a
solution that is one part cat
shampoo and five parts water
into his or her hair. Massage
in the direction of the hair

What to do when your cat needs a bath

growth and do not use


human shampoo, which can
dry out cats skin. When the
time comes to rinse the soap,
once again gently use lukewarm water, taking caution
to avoid getting soap and
water into your cats eyes,
ears and nose. Make sure
there is no remaining shampoo residue, which can irritate the skin and attract
more dirt.
Dry your cat off. Longhair cats may need their fur
to be untangled with widetoothed combs. Short-hairs
can be dried in a warm place
with a large towel wrapped
around their bodies. Some

cats may be comfortable if

Signs a tutor might be necessary

chool is not always easy,


and some students struggle as they transition
from grade to grade. As students get older, some who may
have experienced smooth sailing as youngsters may find they
need some extra help grasping
the material as coursework
becomes more complicated.
Those who need some
extra clarification and reinforcement may first turn to
their parents. But parents may
not be familiar with certain
subjects or capable of explaining certain concepts in terms
kids can understand. In such
situations, tutors can prove to
be valuable resources to get

kids back on the right academic track.


One-on-one attention
from a tutor can benefit all
types of learners. Students who
discover newfound success
under the guidance of a tutor
may have more self-confidence
in the classroom. Parents wondering if a tutor can help their
children may want to consider
the following indicators that
students may need tutors.
Consistently falling grades:
Tutors may be necessary for
students whose grades are
gradually on the decline. First
speak with your childs teachers, who may recommend
tutors that specialize in cer-

tain subjects.
Confusion in and out of the
classroom: Some kids struggle
to grasp certain concepts, and
such confusion can sometimes
be remedied with the kind of
intense study available in
tutoring sessions.
Low confidence: Some kids
confidence wanes when their
grades suffer. Kids whose grades
have been on the decline may
feel a sense of defeat even
before they take a test or work
on an assignment. Tutors can
help restore confidence by creating small victories that slowly build up to larger successes.
Indifference to coursework:
No student will be captivated

by every subject he or she studies, but there should be some


subjects that students find
engaging. Students battling
indifference toward their
coursework may benefit from a
dynamic tutor who can present
subject matter in new ways and
revive students interest.
Students who are struggling in the classroom may
need some extra help outside
the classroom, and many tutors
are adept at reviving interest in
subjects kids are studying
at school. Some teachers may
recommend certain tutors,
while others may do some
tutoring work themselves.

What is clean eating all about?

lean eating is a growing trend among people focused on health


and wellness. A relatively simple concept of selecting foods
that are minimally processed,
clean eating intends to instill a
greater understanding of the
pathway between a foods origins and the final products
that end up on grocery store
shelves and dinner tables.
Choosing whole or real
foods that are as close to their
natural forms as possible is a
staple of clean eating. The
availability of convenience
food products has never been
greater, and not all packaged
foods are unhealthy. But clean
eating encourages consumers
to be more aware of the ingre-

dients in the foods they eat


while selecting those foods
that are minimally processed.
Many foods designated as
clean, including vegetables
and fruits, whole grains, freerange meats, low-fat dairy
products, unsalted nuts, and
whole seeds, are straight from
the farm.
Another component of
clean eating is eliminating or
greatly reducing the consumption of refined sugar. Many
health experts advise that
refined sugar is a large contributor to unnecessary calories. Many people can get all
the energy they need by consuming foods with natural
sugars.
If an ingredient list

includes names you cannot


recognize or if the natural
form of the food has been
changed (i.e. removing the
bran from whole grains), it
cannot be included in a cleaneating plan. Also, foods that
have a lot of additives, including salt, sugar and fat, are not
classified as clean.
Jessica Fanzo, assistant
professor of nutrition at
Columbia University, advises
that not all food processing is
bad. Processing is sometimes
necessary
to
prevent
pathogens that can lead to illness. For example, pasteurizing milk is a processing
method, but one that is necessary to stop the proliferation
of bacteria. Even steaming

foods is processing in some


form, but it is not on par with
some of the overly processed
foods available.
The benefits to clean eating are numerous. Increasing
intake of fruits and vegetables
can boost your immune system
and serve as a nutritious way
to maintain a healthy weight.
Clean eating may help you
become more conscious of
everything from meal ingredients to portion sizes.
Those interested in clean
eating can begin slowly. Start
to introduce more fresh fruits,
vegetables, legumes, nuts, and
farm-fresh foods into your diet.
Look for foods in their natural
form, such as whole oats and
other grains. Avoid highly

refined ingredients and limit


sugar and salt intake. Opt for
fresh herbs and spices to season food. Over time you can
make other changes.
Adopting a clean-eating
approach to their diet is a

Transforming Lives By Transforming Living Spaces... Its What We Do

A Tradition of Delivering Value For Over 20 Years

Did you know?


Drivers who travel between the United States
and Canada or plan on renting a car for an
international business trip or vacation should
understand that driving rules vary from country to country. One noticeable difference is
the side of the road vehicles travel on, as well
as the measurement system used for calculating speed and distance. Although
speedometers will often feature both mph
(miles per hour) and kph (kilometers per
hour), it helps to have a rough idea of the
conversion between the two speed measurements. Every mile per hour in speed translates to roughly 1.7 kilometers per hour. Therefore, if the posted speed limit is 55 mph in
the United States, expect to travel at 88.5 kph in Canada. Always heed speed limit postings and regularly check your vehicles speedometer to ensure you are driving at or below
the legal limit. Traffic offenses that might be tolerated in one country may not be tolerated across the border, so always obey the local laws when behind the wheel.

Creative ways to recycle leaves

eaves cascading down


from trees indicate the
arrival of autumn.
However, colorful and aweinspiring autumn leaves can
be a hazard if left to lie on
the ground too long.
Fallen leaves form a
dense insulator to protect
trees roots and prevent competing plants from growing.
Decomposing leaves also
provide nutrients for the
tree. But wet leaves can be a
safety hazard and leaves left
on the lawn through the
winter can pose a threat to
the grass. These are just a
couple of reasons why so
much effort is placed on leaf
clean-up in the fall. The following are some creative

broken down with a string
trimmer, a leaf blower that
has a vacuum function or a

to a compost pile or use them
to fill container plants before

How to prepare your home for prospective buyers

elling a home can be


exciting. Homeowners
who made considerable
financial commitments when
buying their homes may be
anxious when the time comes
to get returns on their investments, but selling a home need
not be so nerve-racking.
Buyers tastes often dictate their interest in a home.
For example, no matter how
immaculate homeowners may
keep their colonials, such
homes wont appeal much to
buyers looking for a traditional
Cape Cod cottage-style home.
But while you might not be
able to change your homes
architecture to appeal to the
masses, there are steps you can
take to make your home more

appealing to buyers whose


dream home more closely
resembles your own.
Address curb appeal.
Curb appeal goes a long way
toward creating a lasting first
impression, so homeowners
can start by driving up to their
homes and looking at them
through the eyes of prospective
buyers. Address the landscape
if it needs some TLC, and
power wash siding if its appearing a little dirty. Examine your
driveway for cracks and consider installing a new surface if the
existing one is more of an eyesore than eye-catching. Finally,
clear the yard of toys and tools
before nailing the For Sale
sign into the ground, as a cluttered yard will give buyers the

impression that you did not prioritize keeping a clean and presentable home.
Clear out the clutter.
Some sellers stage their homes
when putting them up for sale.
But staging might not be an
option for sellers who are still
living in their homes and
intend to do so until they find
buyers. If you cant stage your
home, then do your best to
remove clutter, including extra
pieces of furniture you might
have accumulated over the
years that can make rooms
seem smaller. Box up any books
that no longer fit on bookshelves, and try to keep common areas like family rooms,
hallways and kids playrooms as
open and clean as possible so

the rooms appear roomy and


relaxing.
Let the light shine in.
Dark homes are less appealing
to prospective buyers, many of
whom have no interest in living in caves that are void of
natural sunlight. When showing your home, make sure all of
the curtains are drawn and the
blinds or shades are up. If trees
or shrubs outside windows are
blocking natural light from getting inside, consider trimming
them so your home appears
sunnier and more inviting.
Bright homes tend to feel more
spacious, so fix any light fixtures that need fixing and even
add small lamps in rooms that
could use some extra light.
Tackle that to-do list. Its

easy for a homes residents to grow accustomed to certain minor


problems, such as a
doorknob that always
sticks or a creaky
kitchen cabinet door.
But buyers might be
turned off by too many
of these minor problems and wonder if any
larger and more expensive issues also went
ignored. Before showing your home, address
all those minor repairs
on your to-do list.
Selling a home
can be exciting, and
homeowners can take
steps to make sure their
home sale is successful and

lucrative as well.

Enjoy a frugal fall road trip


continued from page 1

issues that might affect fuel efficiency are addressed before you
hit the open road. Poorly
inflated tires force the engine
to work harder and burn more
fuel, so make sure tire pressure
matches the levels recommended in your owners manual before embarking on your
trip and even along the way if
you feel your car is not running
as smoothly as it could be.
Another way to conserve fuel is
to remove excess items from
the trunk. If you dont plan to
hit the links on your trip, leave
your golf clubs at home.
Plot your route. Spontaneity may make fall road
trips more fun, but drivers

To Advertise

Call 973-696-8008

looking to save money should


plot their routes in advance so
they can avoid potentially
costly problems like detours
or road work that can waste
fuel and lead to hours sitting
in traffic. Use a GPS device
during your trip so you can be
alerted to any unexpected
developments that might cost
you time and money. Plotting
your route in advance also
allows you to find affordable
dining and lodging options
and choose roads that dont
require drivers to pay tolls.
Invite some friends and
family along. Inviting friends
and family on a weekend getaway can make the trip more
fun and more affordable. If you
have room in the car, inviting
friends along allows you to split
fuel costs, and you may even
save on lodging if you find a
hotel that wont charge for
extra guests in the room.

Creative ways to recycle leaves


Friends and family also can
help split the cost of supplies.
Bring your own food.
Food is another big expense
road trippers must account for.
But you can save money on
food by bringing your own
meals along on the trip.
Prepare some sandwiches the
morning that you leave and
keep them fresh in a cooler so
you dont have to pay for
lunch. In addition, pack some
snacks so you and your passengers can quickly and affordably quell any hunger pangs
that arise while youre on
the road. If you plan to stay in
a place with its own kitchen,
cook your own dinners so you
dont have to spend money
dining out.
Road trips are a staple of
autumn, when drivers can still
enjoy the open road without
breaking the bank.

continued from page 23

Use a few pieces of straw


around the neck and hand
areas of the scarecrow for visual effect. Tie off with twine and
display your scarecrow.
Bedding: Chicken owners
can use fallen leaves as bedding in their chicken coops.
Dry leaves also may create
more comfortable and drier
conditions for goats and
other livestock. Goats may
look to recently fallen leaves
as a nutritious food source.
Gather the leaves and let the
goats munch before you further rake and compost the
leaves.
Decorations: Natural leaves
can be used as decorations
both inside and outside a
home. String freshly fallen
leaves together and wrap
them around a grapevine

wreath for a rustic door decoration. Leaves can be


placed in clear vases and put
on display for a cheap way to
showcase some autumn
color. Preserve favorite
leaves with a lamination
machine or by sealing them
between heated sheets of
waxed paper. Cut out the leaf
shapes and use for hanging
window decorations.
Recreation: Leaves have
long been favorite toys
for children, who eagerly
await jumping into large
piles of fallen leaves. Fill
paper bags with leaves and
draw a target on the front.
Let kids test their skill aiming for the targets. Children
can camouflage their clothing with leaves and masking
tape and have a more intense
session of hide and seek.
