    all is a great time to enjoy the

    great outdoors. Beautiful fall

    foliage coupled with greatweather compel many people to

    spend ample time outdoors before

    the arrival of harsh winter weather

    drives them back indoors. The fol-

    lowing are a handful of activities

    that are tailor-made for fall.

    Raking leaves: While raking

    leaves might not jump out at you

    as a great way to spend a nice fall

    afternoon, families often find rak-

    ing leaves together soon turns intoa fun day in the yard. Build leaf

    piles and let the kids jump in, and

    then do it again.

    When raking, encourage

    kids to collect some colorful leaves

    and set them aside. Once the rak-

    ing is done, you can then enjoy

    making some homemade crafts

    with the leaves you and your

    youngsters just collected.

    Apple picking: Perhaps no activ-

    ity is more synonymous with fall

    than apple picking. Many appleorchards encourage customers to

    come by and pick their own apples

    in the fall. Once your family and

    you have scoured the orchard for

    the perfect apples, relax with a cup

    of warm apple cider before return-

    ing home to make some home-

    made apple sauce and, of course, a

    delicious apple pie.

    Hayride: Hayrides are another

    fall tradition, and many farms offer

    relaxing hayrides throughout fall.Younger children who may tire if

    asked to patrol an apple orchard

    for apples might find a hayride is

    more their speed. Some farms may

    even allow customers to walk the

    grounds and visit the animals on

    the premises.

    What do these yearshave in common:

    1987, 1990, 1994,

    2000, 2001, 2002 and 2008?

    Not sure? Let me ask the

    question a different way.

    What did these years in the

    stock market do to your

    retirement portfolio? Were

    you still working when the

    markets crashed, corrected or

    burned? Did you view this as

    a momentary problem thattime would heal? Did you

    view these years as buying

    opportunities since the prices

    were on sale by 10 percent

    off or more? Did you take

    advantage of the opportunity

    and invest heavily, adding to

    your temporarily discounted

    retirement accounts? If not,

    dont you wish you did?

    For some investors,

    crashes, corrections anddepressions are merely a

    great time to buy and invest

    more for gains yet to come.

    For others, these negativemarket events cause stress,

    tension, anxiety and high

    blood pressure. The deter-

    mining factors of either an

    opportunity or reason for

    alarm boil down to just one

    word: liquidity!

    When we work, we gen-

    erate capital, creating liquid-

    ity. When we are retired, liq-

    uidity is severely limited

    or non-existent becauseemployer based bi-weekly

    paychecks no longer come

    in. In fact, crashes, correc-

    tions, recessions, depressions

    and inflation are devastating

    to those on a fixed income

    or portfolio-based income

    stream. If you have surplus

    capital, you look forward to

    dips in the markets that gen-

    erate buying opportunities. If

    you have no surplus or areliving on the majority of

    what your portfolio can safe-

    ly produce, very little good

    can come from falling mar-kets whether they are

    stocks, bonds, real estate,

    precious metals or commodi-

    ties because you cannot

    afford to participate. To risk

    further decline or erosion

    could prove fatal!An analysis of the dates

    reveal the following: There

    are 26 years between 1987

    and 2013. The years chosen

    in my opening paragraph rep-

    resent the seven worst per-

    forming years of the 26-yearspan. That means 27 percent

    of the 26 years were overtly

    negative, and some people

    have never recovered!

    If you believe that the

    stock or bond markets will

    never experience a crash or

    correction again, please dis-

    continue reading this column

    right now and dont waste

    another minute of your time.

    If you hold to the belief thatthe markets comprising the

    holdings in your retirement

    portfolio may go into nega-

    tive territory at any time,

    exacerbated by the monthly

    withdrawals that must con-

    tinue to support you and your

    spouse for the rest of your

    life, please invest a few more

    moments of your time read-

    ing to the end, for your own

    economic benefit.Is your retirement port-

    folio crash proof? In other

    words, will your income

    stream be uninterrupted if

    the markets fell 40 percent in

    a year? Would your level of

    income be free from decline?

    Would you be able to access

    your portfolio in the event of

    an emergency to grab a largesum of capital on demand? If

    you or your spouse entered a

    nursing facility, would your

    income be satisfactory to

    handle the additional costs

    while still being able to

    maintain your household? Is

    your portfolio designed to

    pay you a stable income for

    the rest of your life, even if

    the IRS says your IRA must

    be depleted as you age? Whatabout a legacy for your chil-

    dren? Will they receive any-

    Whitening is not

    permanent. People

    who expose their

    teeth to a lot of foods and bev-

    erages that cause staining maysee the whiteness start to fade

    in as little as 1 month. Those

    who avoid foods and beverages

    that stain may be able to wait

    one year or longer before

    another whitening treatment

    or touch-up is needed.

    Tips for maintaining your

    newly whitened teeth include:

    Avoiding the consumption of

    or exposure to products that

    stain your teeth. If you dochoose to consume beverages

    that stain, consider using a

    straw so that the liquid bypass-

    es your front teeth.

    Brush or rinse immediately

    after consuming stain-causing

    beverages or foods.

    Follow good oral hygiene

    practices. Brush your teeth at

    least twice daily and floss at

    least once daily to remove

    plaque. Use whitening tooth-paste (once or twice a week

    only) to remove surface stains

    and prevent yellowing. Use

    regular toothpaste the rest of

    the time.

    Consider touch-up treat-

    ments. Depending on the

    whitening method used, youmay need a touch-up every 6

    months or after a year or two.

    If you smoke or drink lots of

    stain-causing beverages, you

    may need a touch up more

    often.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Does insurance cover the cost of

    whitening procedures?

    No. Dental insurance

    does not typically pay for the

    cost of the tooth whitening

    procedure.

    Does teeth whiteners damagetooth enamel?

    Studies of whitening

    products using 10% carbamide

    peroxide showed little to no

    effect on the hardness or min-

    eral content of a tooths enam-

    el surface.

    Do teeth whiteners damage exist-ing dental restorations?

    Over 10 years of clinical

    use of whitening products con-

    taining 10% carbamide perox-

    ide have not shown any dam-

    age to existing fillings. The

    issue is not damage to exist-

    ing restorations; rather, keep

    in mind that existing restora-

    tions such as tooth-colored

    fillings, crowns, bonding,

    veneers, and bridges do not

    lighten. This means that any

    preexisting dental work mayneed to be replaced to match

    the new tooth shade achieved

    in the natural teeth, should a

    bleaching process proceed.

    Do teeth whiteners damage a

    tooths nerve?

    Theres no evidence to

    date that the tooth whitening

    process has a harmful effect on

    the health of a tooths nerve.

    One study reported that at

    both a 4.5 and 7-year follow

    up, no individual who used atooth whitening system need-

    ed a root canal procedure on

    any teeth that had been

    whitened.

    thing from your estate? Is

    it guaranteed?

    Though the federal

    estate tax bracket has been

    fixed at $5,250,000, NJ con-

    tinues to hover at $675,000.

    This means if your estate,

    counting your home, exceeds

    that amount, taxes will have

    to be paid! Are you prepared

    to take care of this mandated

    reduction in your bequest to

    them?

    Here are the nine points I

    am making:

    1. I insist on a guaranteed

    rising income for the rest of

    my life, and my wifes, when

    we stop working.

    2. I demand long-term care

    portfolio protection to insure

    the integrity of my assets and

    income.

    3. I require that my portfolio

    be designed with the least

    amount of governmental

    intrusion (taxes) as possible.

    4. I desire to leave the great-

    est sum we possibly can to

    our favorite charities (our

    four children) when my wife

    and I are gone.

    5. I must have protection

    from stock and bond market

    losses, so that my income and

    insurance programs put in

    place will not be compro-

    mised when the negative

    market years occur. (And

    occur they will).

    6. I mandate that during ris-

    ing markets my portfolio will

    be able to capture the high

    values to reset my lifetime

    income stream, which will

    never retreat, upward.

    7. I need the flexibility and

    liquidity to make adjust-

    ments as necessary when sit-

    uations arise.

    8. As part of my retirement

    plan, I have documents in

    place that designate my

    executors, trustees, power of

    attorney, health proxy and

    living will advocate.

    9. My plan must include

    funds for entertainment

    value that are disposable and

    discretionary (e.g. Vegas,

    travel and gifting).

    This is how my personal

    retirement and estate plan is

    designed and how I practice

    the 7 Ps: Proper Prior

    Planning Prevents Poor

    Performance Period! It is

    designed to Maximize my

    income today while protect-

    ing, preserving and perpetu-

    ating my wealth for tomor-

    row. My 32 years of experi-

    ence in the retirement and

    estate-planning field have

    taught me that most people

    agree with these basic ten-

    ants for their own retirement

    and estate plan. Wouldnt

    you agree? If so, and a self-

    analysis reveals that you are

    not set-up properly to

    include each of the nine ben-

    efits listed above, perhaps a

    no-cost, non-obligatory con-

    sultation with me would be a

    prudent move. There is no

    fee and no commitment nec-

    essary to get my professional

    opinion on your personal

    plan. Why not avail yourself

    the opportunity to hear and

    learn more about improving

    and upgrading your financial

    future? Or you may choose to

    Ahealthy pet is a happy

    pet and responsible

    pet owners know that

    their beloved pets health rests

    largely on their shoulders.

    Ensuring a pet is healthy over

    the long haul can be quite sim-

    ple. While some pets may

    develop medical conditions

    that require more attention,

    the following are a few simply

    ways pet owners can keep their

    pets healthy.

    Dont skip visits to the

    veterinarian. Unlike humans,

    pets cant speak for themselves,

    so its quite possible that a pet

    could be hurting or dealing

    with a medical condition while

    its owner has no idea. Annual

    veterinary checkups can help

    avoid such situations, and the

    vet might notice a developing

    condition before it becomes

    anything serious. If a pets

    behavior suddenly changes,

    schedule a veterinarian visit as

    soon as possible, as this behav-

    ioral change could be indica-

    tive of a medical issue.

    Prioritize vaccinations.

    Vaccinations can protect a pet

    from a host of ailments, includ-

    ing rabies, distemper and Lyme

    disease. New pet owners who

    adopted a pet from a rescue

    organization should get docu-

    mentation about the animals

    past vaccinations. (Certified

    kennels typically provide such

    documentation at the time of

    adoption.) If there is no such

    documentation or if there are

    documents showing the pet

    received certain vaccinations

    but not necessarily all of its

    vaccinations, take the pet to

    the veterinarian and have the

    animal receive those vaccina-

    tions that arent documented.

    Spay or neuter the pet.

    The ASPCA notes that spay-

    ing or neutering a pet is a pre-

    ventive measure that can help

    a pet in the long haul. Spaying,

    or removing the ovaries and

    uterus of a female dog or cat,

    can prevent diseases, such as

    breast cancer and pyometra, as

    well as infection and keep the

    animal from going into heat.

    Neutering a male dog or cat

    before it reaches six months

    can reduce the likelihood that

    the animal will behave aggres-

    sively, while helping to prevent

    testicular cancer, diseases of

    the prostate and hernias.

    Help the pet fight heart-

    worm. Heartworm isnt easy to

    treat, but it is easily

    prevented. Cat ow-

    ners should speak to

    their veterinarian

    about heartworm

    and the best course

    of action, as cats are

    less likely to devel-

    op heartworm than

    dogs, who are natu-

    ral hosts for the

    infection. Dogs should be test-

    ed for heartworm annually in

    the early spring, and the veteri-

    narian might prescribe a pre-

    ventive medication the dog

    will take once per month. How

    long the dog must take the

    medication depends on the

    dog and the veterinarian, but

    dog owners should heed the

    vets advice.

    Get your pet off the

    couch. Humans should not be

    couch potatoes and neither

    should their pets. Regular

    exercise burns calories while

    increasing muscle mass

    and improving cardiovascular

    strength. Dog owners should

    know that how much exercise

    their dog needs depends on its

    breed, age, sex and physical

    condition, so discuss a proper

    exercise regimen with your

    veterinarian. Cats need exer-

    cise, too, and cat owners

    should also discuss the specifics

    with their vet.

    Hiking: Hiking is a fun

    activity that can be enjoyed

    nearly year-round, but its

    especially enjoyable in the

    fall. Thats because few

    things in nature are as capti-

    vating as a park or forest

    when the fall foliage is in full

    bloom. Early fall also boasts

    ideal temperatures for hiking,

    as the mercury likely wont

    rise enough or sink low

    enough to produce the kind

    of extreme temperatures that

    can compromise a hikers

    afternoon. Instead, fall tem-

    peratures tend to be mild and

    comfortable, allowing hikers

    to fully enjoy their often

    beautiful surroundings.

    Corn maze: Visiting a corn

    maze is another activity that

    many people instantly associ-

    ate with fall. Some farmers

    transform their cornfields into

    corn mazes once the tempera-

    tures dip, and such mazes can

    be fun for adults and children

    alike. Though adolescents can

    often be trusted to find their

    way through corn mazes,

    younger kids should be

    accompanied by an adult.

    Pumpkin picking: Much

    like apple picking is best in

    fall, so is pumpkin picking.

    Rather than buying your

    Halloween pumpkin from

    the grocery store, where your

    options may be limited, go

    straight to the source and

    pick your future jack-o-

    lantern from a nearby pump-

    kin patch, which will provide

    a much wider selection. Let

    your youngsters pick their

    own pumpkins and then

    spend the rest of the day

    carving them at home. And

    dont forget to save those

    seeds, which can be roasted

    over an open flame to make a

    delicious snack.

    While there are many

    ways to help an

    elderly loved one

    do all they can to maintain

    health, one of the best ways to

    improve both the physical and

    mental health of a senior citi-

    zen is meditation. We know

    that meditation can reduce

    stress and help us relax, but

    recent studies have shown that

    meditation can also relieve

    pain, reduce the probability of

    heart disease and improve cre-

    ativity. Here are some other

    benefits of meditation:

    1. The deep breathing exercis-

    es central to any program of

    meditation encourage oxygen

    enrichment to the blood.

    Senior citizens who suffer from

    digestion problems often see

    immediate relief because the

    oxygenation of their digest-

    ive functions is empowered

    through meditation. This extra

    oxygen boosts the immune sys-

    tem, heals the lungs and

    improves circulation.

    2. Meditation also causes

    increased alertness and the

    ability to interact with others

    and surroundings. The

    increased oxygen in the blood-

    stream of the elderly user of

    meditation will cause brain

    functions to improve.

    3. Because both the mind and

    the body become more relaxed,

    the mental and physical health

    of the individual is improved

    drastically. Seniors who suffer

    from depression can benefit

    from meditation. During medi-

    tation, feelings of happiness are

    created in the mind, which

    increases daily happiness and

    satisfaction.

    4. Meditation improves physi-

    cal energy, making the senior

    years just as rewarding as

    other life phases. Meditation

    is also easy to learn and

    requires no certain religious

    affiliations. The fact that

    meditation is flexible and easy

    to do makes it a great choice

    for everyone, quickly enrich-

    ing the lives of seniors.

    5. A study, published in the

    Journal of Brain, Behavior &

    Immunity, shows that eight

    weeks of training in mindful-

    ness meditation is linked with

    decreased loneliness. Aside

    from alleviating loneliness,

    mindfulness meditation has

    also been shown in past

    research to have positive effects

    on the brain linked with

    brain changes that may even

    have effects against mental ill-

    ness.

    The break-even point

    in your business is

    where all direct and

    indirect costs have been met.

    You are neither making nor

    losing any money. The break-

    even point can be measured in

    number of units sold, dollars

    of total sales or possibly hours

    billed out.

    To calculate your

    breakeven point, you must

    first determine your direct

    (variable) and your indirect

    (fixed) costs. Direct costs vary

    with the number of units sold.

    For every unit you sell, you

    must buy another set of the

    components. Your indirect

    costs dont normally vary for a

    given volume of business.

    Your gross profit per unit

    (sales less direct costs, known

    as the contribution margin)

    goes toward paying for these

    indirect costs. Once the indi-

    rect costs have been paid, you

    have reached the break-even

    point. The gross profit from

    every unit sold over the break-

    even point goes to the bottom

    line as profit.

    To simplify this exam-

    ple, lets assume that you run

    a food stand that sells only

    hamburgers. For every burger

    you sell, you need to buy

    meat, a bun, trimmings,

    and a paper serving plate.

    Assume your burger sells for

    $6 and the total of the direct

    costs is $2 per burger. This

    means that you have a con-

    tribution margin of $4 to go

    toward fixed costs.

    Your fixed costs include

    such things as rent, insurance,

    advertising, taxes and so on.

    Within limits, selling a few

    more burgers will not cause

    these expenses to increase. If

    your total fixed costs are $100

    a day, your breakeven point is

    25 burgers or $150. Once you

    pass 25 burgers, $4 from each

    additional sale goes to your

    bottom line as profit.

    For assistance in deter-

    mining your break-even point

    and its effect on your prof-

    itability, give us a call.

    Do you have any strate-

    gic alliances with

    affiliated businesses?

    These are businesses that are

    complimentary to your busi-

    ness. Examples of complimen-

    tary businesses include plumb-

    ing, electrical, carpentry,

    HVAC, landscaping, win-

    dows, furniture, doors, paving

    and concrete. Each of these

    companies comes across two

    to five sales leads every

    month. If not, they are not

    networking or asking the

    questions. You should have a

    list of at least 25 other compa-

    nies that you refer business to,

    and that refer business back to

    you. And youd better be

    tracking both.

    By bringing other con-

    tractors to your customer, you

    are insulating yourself against

    competition. If I were an elec-

    trician and brought a plumber

    to my customer, the last words

    out of my plumber to my cus-

    tomer better be, I know

    another electrician.

    What about competitive

    businesses? Have any alliances

    with them? Yes, your competi-

    tors. Some competitors are

    really nice people! I have sev-

    eral electrical contractors that

    are friendly competitors. They

    have signed agreements not to

    try to take each others cus-

    tomers. They share employees

    when they can, which is bet-

    ter than hiring and firing, and

    gives current employees more

    confidence that they have a

    job long-term.

    Do you have strategic

    alliances with your suppliers?

    Have you received a sales lead

    from your suppliers? And not

    just the suppliers in your

    industry. Your insurance

    agents, bankers, lawyers,

    accountants, printers, clean-

    ers, maintenance and delivery

    service members, caterers,

    contractors have they

    brought you business? You

    should have a chart in the

    office and make it a competi-

    tion. Send every supplier a let-

    ter once a quarter to

    announce the top suppliers

    and who is on the bubble.

    If you would like more

    info on networking and to see

    how it is really done, check

    out some great networking

    meetings at www.join24-

    One of the hot new

    trends in hardwood

    flooring this season is

    the use of beautiful brown

    flooring colors to inspire home

    decors by bringing nature

    indoors. Touted as the colors

    of tomorrow by a leading

    Canadian hardwood flooring

    manufacturer, these new colors

    already have interior design

    professionals and enthusiasts

    buzzing.

    Mercier Wood Flooring,

    one of North Americas leading

    hardwood flooring manufactur-

    ers, recently rounded out its

    Design + Program for hard-

    wood floors with two trendset-

    ting hues Autumn Leaf and

    Kalahari which they called

    the colors of tomorrow during

    their official launch.

    Mercier Wood Flooring

    is always on top of the latest

    trends and never more so than

    today with the launch of these

    new colors, said designer

    Nancy Soccio of Dolce

    Interieur in Montreal. My

    clients are always looking for

    these types of contemporary,

    yet nature inspired colours that

    work great in modern and clas-

    sic decors.

    According to Michel

    Collin Marketing Director for

    Mercier theyre latest offering

    have already become favorites

    with clients. A perfect blend

    of dark brown tones, Autumn

    Leaf is resolutely contemporary

    yet gives the impression that

    nature has really come into

    your home, he added. And

    because it respects the funda-

    mental principles of global har-

    mony, it will go well with any

    style.

    Kalahari, another popular

    hue from this years palette, fea-

    tures beautiful gold and cognac

    tones. Soccio liked the versatil-

    ity of this color that can be used

    in any decor. Delightfully par-

    adoxical, Kalahari is both

    trendy and timeless, she

    explained. With its warm

    color it will brighten up any

    room. Its ideal for both chic

    contemporary spaces and those

    that are more modern or coun-

    trystyle. These new colors are

    available in solid, engineered

    and LOC versions in varying

    widths. More information on

    the latest trends in wood floor-

    ing is available at www.mercier-

    woodflooring.com.

    Home may be where

    the heart is, but italso can be an

    unsafe place if safety hazards

    are not recognized and

    addressed.

    The Consumer Product

    Safety Commission says that

    each year 33.1 million people

    are injured by consumer

    products and other dangers

    in the home. Here is a collec-tion of home hazards that

    can compromise safety in and

    around the house.

    Flooding: Super storms have

    been wreaking havoc on

    many areas of the country.

    Flooding is a common side

    effect of strong rains and

    high tides, and the aftermath

    of a flood can turn a homefrom a haven into a hazard.

    Microorganisms in flood

    waters may contaminate

    drinking water, and wet walls

    and floors can present a

    breeding ground for insects,

    pests and microorganisms

    like mold and mildew. The

    National Safety Council says

    microorganisms can pene-trate into soaked, porous

    materials and later be

    released into the air and

    inhaled. Flooding also may

    lead to weakened or rotted

    floorboards.

    Magnets: Very small magnets

    are popular in jewelry, toys,

    building sets, and more. The

    number of products with

    strong magnets has in-

    creased, which may pose sig-

    nificant safety threats to

    children. The CPSC says

    that magnets have con-

    tributed to one death and 86injuries since 2005. Eight

    million magnetic toys have

    been recalled. Magnets that

    are swallowed may not pass

    easily through the digestive

    system. Oftentimes, they can

    get trapped in place when

    attracted to one another or a

    piece of metal and pinch or

    twist the intestines, poten-

    tially causing blockage orinfection.

    Furniture tip-over:

    Large furniture and electron-

    ics that are not balanced well

    or anchored to a wall can be

    pulled over by children and

    even adults. Small children

    can be seriously injured by

    tip-over accidents. Tip-overs

    cause an estimated 22 deathsper year.

    Pools and spas: While

    drowning in pools and spas is

    a leading cause of death,

    there are other dangers lurk-

    ing. Faulty underwater light-

    ing, appliances that fall into

    the water and aging wiring

    can result in electrocution.

    The CPSC notes that suc-

    tion from a pool or spa drain

    is also potentially hazardous.

    The majority of suction acci-

    dents involved children, but

    suction can hold an adult

    underwater. There have evenbeen cases of people being

    disemboweled from pool

    drains. Installing a safety

    vacuum release system thatturns off the pool pump when

    a drain is blocked can pre-

    vent entrapment.

    Fire: Home fire injuries arehighest among seniors and

    children under the age of

    five. In addition, home fires

    are a leading cause of emer-gency room visits. Smoke

    alarms on every level of the

    house can alert to danger, but

    ensuring candles are extin-

    guished and electrical wiring

    is up to date and making sure

    space heaters and other

    appliances are not left

    unattended can help

    prevent fires.

    Garage doors: The CPSC

    says an average of 20,000

    people each year are treated

    in the hospital for injuriescaused by garage doors. From

    fingers and toes getting

    trapped to heavy doors

    falling on children and

    adults, garage doors can

    cause serious injury.

    Fall s: Falls are a leading

    cause of injury to people of

    all ages. Falls down stairs,

    from windows and off of lad-

    ders are just some of the rea-

    sons people visit emergency

    rooms each and every day.

    Ensuring there are no trip-ping hazards around the

    house and also having sturdy

    handles and guardrails pres-

    ent for use by the elderly can

    help prevent some falls.

    There are many dangers

    lurking around the house,

    and awareness of such haz-

    ards can help prevent serious

    injury.

    Over the last couple of years, dining out has become an even bigger luxury than itonce was. Thanks to the struggling economy, many people have decided to cutback on spending, and dining out has become casualty of such events.

    While the economy is gradually rebounding, dining out is still largely reserved forspecial occasions among those whose memory of the recession is still fresh. However,dining out does remain a strong choice when hosting a special occasion such as a birthdayparty or anniversary celebration. When choosing a restaurant to have such a gathering,consider the following tips to ensure that rare restaurant night out goes off without a hitch.

    NEWwhats

    in dining?

    Look for versatility in a menu. Whendining out, the emphasis is obviously on thefood. Couples might enjoy certainrestaurants they have previously patronized,but that does not necessarily make therestaurant ideal for a party. When shoppingfor a restaurant, look for one that boasts aversatile menu that can cater to a vast arrayof palates. Especially for larger parties, theversatility of the menu is very important.Restaurants that boast a large entreeselection that includes meat, poultry,seafood, and even vegetarian dishes ensures

    each guest has options. Examine the elbow room. Because diningout has become such a luxury, comfortshould be another key consideration. Look

    for a restaurant that provides ample elbowroom so everyone can relax and wont feelcrowded.

    Be sure there are places to park. Chancesare, most guests will be driving to the party.While it seems like an afterthought, therestaurant should provide ample, and ideallyfree, parking. Avoid restaurants that chargefor valet service or inquire if such servicecan be included on the tab ahead of time.

    Reserve well in advance. If its a trulyspecial occasion, be sure to begin the processof finding a restaurant as early as possibleand make a reservation the moment adecision is made. Reservations can alwaysbe cancelled should things not work out.

    Many life events are

    worthy of celebra-tion. Many fami-

    lies aspire to have parties

    honoring special events, such

    as graduations, births, retire-

    ments, bar mitzvahs, Sweet

    Sixteens, and much more.

    Hosting such a party can be a

    great time, and such host-

    ing duties need not break

    the bank.Hosting a party can be

    an expensive undertaking.

    An unsteady economy has

    left many families pinching

    pennies for the necessities,

    and hosting duties are a luxu-

    ry many families cannot

    afford. But hosts who can

    create a budget ahead of time

    might find their party is easi-er to plan. Creating a party

    budget may mean compro-

    mising on a few elements,

    but it does not have to mean

    compromising a good time.

    Here are a few ways to budg-

    et for a party and still have

    a blast.

    Determine a realistic party

    budget. The first step is todetermine exactly what you

    can spend. You will need to

    base all of your plans on what

    you can afford. It can be

    tempting to go above budget,

    but that may land you in

    debt. Without a budget, you

    will not know how to allo-

    cate your money effectively.

    Get price quotes from vari-ous venues. The cost of rent-

    ing a venue will likely be the

    biggest expense on your list.

    But you can save a substan-

    tial amount of money if you

    can host at home. Those who

    have limited house or apart-

    ment space need to seek

    other options. While restau-

    rants may be expensive,

    parks, gardens or church

    basements may be morereasonable.

    Figure out what elements are

    important. Are your guestsgourmands who pay special

    attention to food quality and

    taste? If so, you may have to

    spend more on food and bev-

    erages. If a flashy location is

    more desireable, then know

    that a large portion of the

    budget will be allocated for a

    place with a view. Some peo-

    ple flock to parties for the

    entertainment. If you are like-

    minded, then budget a larger

    portion for the band or deejay.

    Keep a tally. As you startsecuring elements to the

    party, be sure to deduct the

    expenses from the total budg-

    et. Hold on to all receipts

    and reconcile them against

    the amount you have to

    spend. This will present an

    accurate picture of the totalcost of the party. If you start to

    break your budget, you will

    know you it's time to curtail

    any additional spending.

    Don't plan on the gifts cov-

    ering expenses. Some fami-

    lies circulate tales of brides

    and grooms dipping intotheir gifts at weddings to pay

    for the party. Those who

    have to do this have overex-

    tended themselves. Many

    throw parties with the inten-

    tion of breaking even once

    monetary gifts are collected.

    Not only is this in poor eti-

    quette, it is risky. There is no

    guarantee that guests will

    cover the cost of their meals.

    Do as much as you canyourself. Cutting out the

    middleman will dramatically

    reduce the cost of many party

    services. If you want floral

    centerpieces on tables, make

    them yourself. If you want

    guests to take home choco-

    late lollipops or other trin-

    kets, spend time putting

    them together. Printing your

    own invitations reduces the

    cost of using a printing serv-ice or buying them. Set your

    own playlist of compiled

    music on an mp3 player for

    the music. If hiring a caterer

    exceeds your budget, prepare

    the food yourself. The more

    services you can provide on

    your own, the less expensive

    the party will be.

    Pare down the guest list.Another significant way to

    come in at budget is to be

    realistic about how many

    people you can invite. While

    it may be nice to extend an

    invitation to everyone you

    know, that will quickly drive

    up the price. Only invite the

    closest of friends and family.

    Delegate some of the work.

    If a friend or family member

    offers to bring something tothe party, don't hesitate to

    accept such an offer. You may

    know someone who takes

    excellent photos or a friend

    who has a deejaybusiness on

    the side. Every little bit helps

    when working on a budget.

    Start saving early. Look

    ahead to the events that are

    coming up that may warrant a

    bash. Pick and choose among

    those you want to celebrateand begin putting away

    money toward those events.

    Once the time arrives, you

    may have more savings than

    you thought and the ability to

    indulge a little more.
