Today, it is universally
accepted, that a secure
retirement will require
a nest-egg of multiple millions
of dollars for Millennials who
intend to one day live off the
rate of return their retirement
portfolio generates. It is my
firm belief that people in their
twenties or early thirties today
will require $10,000,000 as a
base portfolio required to gen-
erate the income necessary to
live when they reach normal
retirement age. As I have stat-
ed in this publication before,
the target age for a full Social
Security check is misleading,
with postponement likely to at
least age 75 by the time thecurrent 20 and 30 somethings
reach their 6th decade of life.
Today, based on the CPI,
Consumer Price Index, a dol-
lar is worth 85% less than
compared to 1967 when the
CPI began, or just 15¢. This
means that a 25 year old in
1967 with a goal to accumu-
late $1,000,000 in 45 years,
would now need $6,736,190 to
have the same purchasing
power in 1967 dollars. In other
words, a million dollars, after
45 years of identical inflation,
would only be worth
$150,000! By the same token,
$10,000,000 is needed in 45
years to have the same pur-
chasing power as $1,500,000
in 2015 dollars. Assuming a
5% withdrawal rate, a personof 25 today will need to be a
deca-millionaire to have an
annual income in today’s dol-
lars of around $75,000.
In January of 2012, when
I was 50, my father passed
away at the age of 76; we were
only 26 years apart and unfor-
tunately he was uninsurable
for decades due to a myriad of
medical reasons. Had this not
been the case, I could have
guaranteed myself and family a
multi-million dollar payday.
You see, we all have the
choice to invest capital in
some known vehicle with an
unknown rate of return, hold-
ing our breath for the ultimate
outcome, a retirement portfo-
lio like a 401k or an IRA. Or
we could guarantee our finan-
cial futures by buying a multi-million life insurance policy
on Dad, Mom or a substitute
insured, like one of their
brothers or sisters. It’s true that
we do not know when they
will die, nor do we want to
know. We only know that they
indeed will die and if a policy
is in force, there will be that 6
or 7 figure pay-off to the bene-
ficiaries. Depending on the
age and health of the insured,
the premium figures can easily
be determined and compared
to the investment alternatives
available. You would be hard
pressed to find a properly
designed life insurance policy
that could not easily out-per-
form the same premium dol-
lars invested into the S+P 500,
the Dow Jones Industrial
Average or a myriad of other
choices, at the death of theinsured. In my case, I had the
annual dollars to make such a
life policy investment, but
could not, due to the health
issues of both of my parents
and neither had siblings.
However, for the rest of the
insurable public, the under-
writing process may merely be
an inconvenience. And
remember, IRA’s and 401k’s
income and death benefits are
taxable, life insurance death
benefits are not!
If I had been fortunate
enough to have been able to
insure my Dad for $1,000,000
and be responsible enough to
pay the annual premiums for
the last 20 years, today I would
have another $1,000,000 tax-
free, added to my net worth. If
he were still alive, the cashvalue of the policy would still
be mine and useable before his
demise. There is no shame or
embarrassment in this tech-
nique to create wealth or a
retirement plan for oneself.
Everyone dies and the insur-
ance companies make a profit
selling life insurance to the
people who purchase it, even-
tually to receive a payout from
it. This folks is a guaranteed
retirement plan; the only
thing the purchaser/beneficia-
ry doesn’t know is when he or
she will collect on it. Seventy-
six is too young an age to die,
that is without question and
50 is too young an age to col-
lect on a father’s life insurance
policy. But, if we were to
increase both of our ages to 86
and 60 or 96 and 70 respec-tively, both parties would have
ended up winning, Dad with a
longer life, and his son with a
more secure and robust retire-
ment nest-egg based upon the
additional years of retirement
plan accumulations and the
ultimate death benefit from
the policy.
Though I could not
insure my parents, I did insure
myself for millions of dollars
for the benefit of my wife’s
retirement security as well as
for my children’s inheritance.
Interest-ingly enough, my
policies are uniquely designed
to benefit me for living too,
providing me with a tax-free
income during my retirement
years. This type of plan is so
simple to understand and easyto implement, everyone
should do it. Write, call or
email me to ask about a plan
specifically designed for your
budget and circumstances that
will provide a living benefit for
you, a retirement income for
your spouse and a legacy for
your kids. It would be my
pleasure to produce a proposal
for all who simply ask me for
one, free of charge.

Did you know?Many people begin their holiday
shopping around the end of
summer, when retailers firstbegin to roll out new clothing
lines and mark down existing
items to make way for new
inventory. Beginning holiday
shopping near the end of sum-
mer or the beginning of fall may
seem a little early, but early shoppers often find that starting earlier
affords them more time to find the right gifts at the right prices. Early
shoppers can comparison shop without the specter of the fast-approach-
ing holiday hanging over their heads, and comparison shopping helps
consumers feel more confident that they are getting the best deals pos-sible. Starting early with regard to holiday shopping also allows shoppers
avoid the financial crunch that shoppers who wait until the holiday sea-
son begins often feel. Spreading out spending over several months as
opposed to the handful of weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas is
a great way for shoppers to avoid buying too many gifts on credit, which
can make for a penny-pinching start to the new year when bills come due
in early- to mid-January.

Did you know? A recent study authored by education and
psychology experts in Australia suggests
that kids are spending far more time look-
ing at screens than the two hours recom-
mended by the American Academy of
Pediatrics. Published in the journal BMC
Public Health in early 2015, the study sur-
veyed more than 2,600 Australian stu-
dents between the ages of 8 and 16 to determine how much
screen-based media use, or SBMU, kids were averaging each day.
SBMU included television viewing, computer usage and video
game playing. The study determined that 45 percent of 8-year-olds
and 80 percent of 16-year-olds were exceeding the recommended
two hours of screen time per day.

School day mornings can
be hectic, as getting kids
ready for school and out
the door on time is not always
easy. Working parents may find
school day mornings especially
difficult, as their own work
schedules can make mornings
feel even more rushed.
Fortunately, parents can
employ several strategies to free
up time in the morning so
everyone starts their days off in
a more relaxing atmosphere.
Wake up earlier. Sleep
might seem like a precious
commodity, but waking up just
10 to 15 minutes earlier can
remove some of the stress from
weekday mornings without
costing you a lot of sack time.
Let kids sleep in until their nor-
mal wakeup time, using your
extra 10 or 15 minutes to show-
er or enjoy your morning cup of
coffee before the house is abuzz
with activity.
Tackle certain chores the
night before. Delaying certain
chores until you wake up makes
for a hectic morning, so tackle
as many morning chores as pos-
sible before you go to bed for
the night. Prepare school
lunches, lay clothes out for
yourself and your children, and
make sure kids have their back-
packs packed and ready to go
before they go to bed. Each of
these things may only take a
few minutes, but when left for
the morning, they can add up
to a substantial amount of time.
Encourage youngsters to
pick up the pace. Some people
are morning people, while oth-
ers dread setting their alarms
for early morning hours. Kids
who fall into the latter group
may drag their feet in the
morning, but parents should
offer encouragement when kids
are moving slowly in the morn-
ing. Allowing your frustration
to show may only make kids
less fond of mornings, so
remind them as nicely as possi-
ble that everyone has a sched-
ule to stick to if they seem to be
dragging their feet.
Keep the television off. If
watching the television is
ingrained in your morning rou-
tine, try going a few days with-
out it to see if this makes it eas-
ier to get out the door on time.
Kids might grow distracted by
morning cartoons, and even
adults may get caught up in
morning news shows or other
forecasts. Eliminating televi-
sion from your morning routine
can save time and also may
help your family grow closer, as
you will have more distraction-
free time to speak to one
another. In addition to turning
off the television, resist the
urge to turn on your devices or
scan work emails when getting
ready in the morning.
Parents know that school
day mornings can be hectic.
But there are several ways to
make such mornings go more
smoothly so everyone gets
where they need to be on time.

Linda D’Amico’s
Academy of Dance is
about to embark on
their 39th year of operation!
They are so thrilled and hum-
bled to open their doors to the
local dancers and share their
love of dance with the com-
munity! With adorable Pre-K
and Kinder ballerinas, beauti-
ful recreational terpsichore-
an’s, and fierce national award
winning competitors, LDAD
is so incredibly proud of the
progress their dancers have
made over the years. Their
dedication to their craft and
passion shows through their
performances on stage, and
the studio takes absolute pride
in the fact that this is more
than just a place to come and
learn new dance steps.
LDAD is a place where
lifetime friendships are made,
confidence is built, bound-
aries are pushed, and where
coordination, strength, grace,
and agility are nurtured to cre-
ate headstrong charismatic
young adults equipped with
life lessons needed to take on
life’s journey no matter where
it takes them.
After an incredible year
of volunteer performances at
nursing homes, talent shows,
Christmas parties, musical
theatre shows, summer dance
camps, and adrenaline pump-
ing regional and national
competitions, LDAD is excit-
ed to invite you to share their
39th year of dance with them.
You may register by phone
973-616-0300, email-

Sports leagues, after-
school clubs and other
extracurricular activities
enjoyed by children and their
parents would not be possible
without the volunteer efforts of
fellow parents and other adults.
Very often an entire commit-
tee of volunteers gathers to
make a sports team or group
successful, and much of their
work is being done behind the
scenes.
Managing a recreational
group is no small undertaking.
Such an endeavor requires the
patience and perseverance of
volunteers ready to juggle a
variety of tasks. While in the
past there may have been fewresources to aid in such tasks,
today's technology makes it
easier to handle the responsi-
bilities that come with manag-
ing a team. The vast array of
apps available for smartphones,
tablets and other devices can
alleviate some of the work for
recreational group managers.
The following are just a hand-
ful of applications league man-
agers can consider to coordi-nate efforts across the board.
•Team Snap: Team Snap is
one of the premier team and
club management services
available (www.teamsnap.
com). This software helps any-
one, even those with little or
no website design experience,
run a team, league or other
organization online. The team
is managed by a team owner
who can choose free services or
a tiered payment plan depend-
ing on the option that owner
chooses. Team members are
invited to join free, where they
can message other players,
check calendars and even get
text message alerts.
•Team Pages: Having a cur-
rent and well-designed website
can encourage others to be
more involved and invested in
a particular team or league.
However, sometimes getting a
website up and running can be
challenging, particularly to the
novice designer. With Team
Pages (www.teampages.com),
anyone can create a sport- or
club-themed website and have
it live in a manner of minutes.
Drop and drag layout design
options makes creating multi-
ple pages even easier, and thereis a calendar option for keeping
track of games and other meet-
ings.
•Active: Active (www.active.
com) is the leader in online
event registrations, from
marathons to softball leagues.
Visitors can search for various
activity-inspired events nearby
and learn more about sports
leagues for children and adults.
In addition, the site featuresinformative articles on nutri-
tion, player improvement tips,
medical information, and
much more as it pertains to
activities.
•League Athletics: This tool
(www.leagueathletics.com)
mixes team website design
with league management and
registration. It also enables
others to follow a team's
progress while broadcasting
scores and schedules. Custom
design options enable flexible
and easy layout in a matter of
days.
•Scoutlander: Scoutlander
(www.scoutlander.com) hosts
and manages troops, packs and
dens associated with the Boy
Scouts and Girl Scouts. Thesite is free, though voluntary
donations are used to further
the development of the site.
Scout leaders can inform par-
ents of upcoming meetings or
events. Separation of public
and private areas of a troop's
site enable password-protected
information to stay private.
•Google Sites: In addition to

Cats and dogs are the
two most popular
types of pets in the
country, and while dogs have
been dubbed “man’s best
friend,” cat owners are quite
vocal when expressing their
love for their feline friends.
Those looking for a cat
may not have to look far. The
ASPCA says approximately
7.6 million companion ani-
mals enter animal shelters
nationwide every year, and
roughly 3.4 million of those
are cats. An area shelter is an
ideal place to find a new pet
for those thinking of getting
their first cat or adding to the
pets already in the household.
Cats can be purchased from
pet stores, but they also may
be available via friends or
family members who have
recently welcomed a new lit-
ter.
Before bringing your cat
home, it is best to make sure
you and members of your
household are prepared to
welcome a furry feline friendinto your home.
Is everyone ready for the
responsibility? Pets are a big
responsibility, and all mem-
bers of the household should
be ready and willing to pitch
in and care for pets. Divide
duties based on age and physi-
cal ability. If a member of the
family doesn’t support the
decision to get a cat, this
might not be the right time to
do so.
Find the right match in a
pet. Temperament can play a
role in how well a cat fits in
with your family. A cat that is
fearful and skittish may not be
the best match for a family
with young, active children.
Special-needs cats may be bet-
ter for adult-only homes or for
people who can devote the
extra time needed to properly
care for the animal.
Designate a cat-friendly
spot in your home. A new cat
may need some time before he
or she acclimates to a new
environment. To facilitate
this process, designate a room
or area in the house for yourcat. This should be a low-traf-
fic spot. Keep a litter box and
food and water bowls nearby.
Stock up on your sup-
plies. Cats will need various
pet supplies to be comfortable
and healthy. For the time
being, use the same products
the cat had at the shelter or
pet store, which can create a
sense of familiarity that makes
cats more comfortable in their
new homes. Over time, you
can transition slowly to new
supplies, including:
- litter box and litter material
- food
- food and water bowls- scratching posts
- interactive toys and solo toys
- brushes and other grooming
supplies
- sturdy cat carriers

an. Select a veterinarian

Fall can be an ideal timeof year for homeowners
to tackle home improve-
ment projects, as the moder-
ate temperatures make for
ideal conditions to work in
and around the house. In
addition, many retailers offerconsumer-friendly sales in
autumn, helping homeowners
to save money.
As early as September,
many stores begin stocking
their shelves in advance of the
holiday season. As a result,stores look to unload summer
and fall seasonal items. The
following are just a few types
of items homeowners might
find at reduced prices this fall.
Lawn and garden
If you want to revamp
your backyard, wait until
late summer or early autumn
to do so. At this time of year,
you can find great deals on
patio furniture, lawn mowers,perennials, shrubs, sheds, and
many other lawn and garden
items. In addition, check with
local contractors to see if they
will offer discounts late in the
season. Tree-removal compa-

Circa 2011. Jim was a
friend. A lazy friend.
One day Jim, who
used to work for me, came by
the office to pay a visit. You
see Jim was a nice guy, just
lazy. (Did I point that out
already?) On this particular
visit we were talking about
the state of my company and Imentioned how I really need-
ed one more salesperson.
After a few seconds he said,
“Why don’t you hire me?”
Once the shock of what he
said wore off I decided to ask
him one simple question,
“Would you hire you?”
Without hesitation he smiled
and said, NO.
The good news is he
knew himself well, at least
when it came to his work
ethic. The bad news is that
while he knew this truth, he
did nothing to change it.
Think about it…
Do you live in a comfort
zone? One that repels change?
If so let me tell you there is a
brave new world out there.
One that will make us feel
comfortable and move us to
action and ultimately change.
After awhile, the comfort
zone can really stink!

you feel comfortable. Have
your cat examined by the vet
and discuss any questions or
concerns you may have. A vetmay be able to install a
microchip in your cat for
identification purposes as
well.
Safe-proof your home.
Cats can be curious, and many
will want to investigate rooms
throughout your house. To
protect curious cats, keep
cleaning products and other
chemicals locked away and
secure electric wires with cordcontainment devices. Know
which houseplants are toxic
and, if you don’t discard them,
make sure they cannot be
reached by cats.
Cats make wonderful
pets. Bringing a new cat home
often requires taking certain
steps to ensure your furry
friend is comfortable in his or
her new home.

Calzones provide a fun
and tasty alternative
to pizza. Home cooks
who want to think outside the
pizza box can consider the fol-
lowing recipe for “Whole-
Wheat Spinach Ricotta
Calzones” from “Clean Eating
for Busy Families” (Fair
Winds) from author Michael
Dudash, R.D.
Whole-Wheat Spinach
Ricotta Calzones
Serves 7
For the dough:
1 ½ cups warm water (105 F to
110 F)
1 ¾ ounce envelope quick-acting
dry yeast
2 cups unbleached white whole-
wheat flour, plus additional for
dusting
2 cups unbleached bread flour
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil,
divided
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 ½ teaspoons Italian herb sea-
soning
Olive oil spray
For the filling:
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive
oil
1- 8-ounce package crimini
(baby bella) mushrooms, finely
chopped
4 cups lightly packed babyspinach, finely chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
½ cup soft goat cheese
1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup basil leaves, chopped
small
¼ cup drained sun-dried toma-
toes in oil, chopped
1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
For serving:
1 1/3 cups marinara sauce
To make the dough:
Pour the water into the
bowl of a stand mixer fitted

tablespoons of oil, and salt
and seasoning; mix for 10
minutes on medium-low
speed until the dough is elas-
tic in consistency. Cover the
bowl tightly with plastic wrapand place it in a warm area
until the dough doubles in
size, about 90 minutes. If you
don’t have a warm area in
your kitchen, heat the oven to
200 F. Turn off the oven and
wait 5 minutes before placing
the dough in the oven to
proof.
Once the dough has
risen, punch down. Coat a
large sheet pan (or 2 medium
sheets) with olive oil spray,
shape the dough into 7 equal
balls, cover, and let rest for 15
minutes.
To make the filling:
Heat a large frying pan
over medium heat and add oil.
When the oil begins to shim-
mer, add mushrooms and
sauté for 3 minutes; add
spinach and garlic and cook
until water releases and evap-
orates. Remove pan from heat
and stir in the goat cheese.
Add ricotta, Parmesan cheese,
basil, tomatoes, flaxseed meal,
salt, and pepper and stir.
Transfer to a container andchill.
To assemble a calzone:
Preheat oven to 500 F.
Dust the counter, rolling pin,
and a dough ball with flour.
Flatten the dough into a 5-
inch circle, rotating after
every few rolls Place 1/3 cup
of filling on the front half of
the dough, leaving ½ inch
around the border. Fold the
dough over until the edges
meet, forming a half-moon.
Fold over ½-inch. Press the
edges with your fingers to seal
and score lightly with a fork.
Gently, but quickly, transfer
the calzone back to the sheet
pan. Repeat this process with
the remaining dough and fill-
ing. Brush the calzones with 1
tablespoon of oil and using
the kitchen shears, cut four ½
-inch slits into the tops of
each. Bake on the middle rack
until lightly golden on top
and bottom, 15 to 18 minutes.
Complement with warm
marinara sauce when serving.

Apartment living has
its advantages.
Without a mortgage
to pay, many apartment
dwellers feel more free than
homeowners who still have
decades of payments left
before they can pay off their
homes. And when apartments
need fixing, such responsibili-
ties fall on the shoulders of
the landlord instead of the
tenants.But apartment living has
its downsides as well, most
notably that apartments are
often much less spacious than
homes. Cramped quarters can
make apartment living
uncomfortable, but there are
ways apartment dwellers can
make even the most confined
living spaces seem roomier.
Clear the clutter. The
easiest and perhaps most
effective way to conquer
cramped living quarters is to
remove clutter and work dili-
gently to avoid its accumula-
tion once it’s gone. Only buy
new furnishings when you
need them to replace existing
items, and resist the urge to
treat dressers, coffee tables
and dining areas as storageareas for junk you won’t use or
mail you have not opened.
Purchase some multi-
purpose furniture. Multi-pur-
pose furniture, such as storage
ottomans or bedroom benches
that include storage areas for
bed linens or bath towels, can
be an apartment dweller’s best
friend. When buying a new
bed frame, look for one that
has built-in storage drawers so
you have even more space to
store bedding and other items.
Such pieces add both aesthet-
ic appeal and serve practical
purposes for apartment
dwellers with limited closet
space.
Wall-mount your televi-
sion. While today’s televisions
are nowhere near as bulky as
their predecessors from decades
past, many apartment dwellers
still place their televisions atop
bulky television stands. But
you can create more space in
your entertainment room by
wall-mounting your television.
Renters may be hesitant to
mount their televisions for fearof losing a substantial chunk of
their deposits, but the majority
of today’s mounts won’t do
much more harm to the walls
than more traditional wall
hangings.
Make use of your vertical
space. Shelving units and
bookcases can be great allies
to apartment dwellers because
these items make use of an
apartment’s vertical space.Many apartment dwellers
underutilize their vertical
be discounted on such week-
ends, and you also may find
discounts on power tools.
Vehicles
If you are in the market
for a new SUV or truck to
transport your home improve-
ment project supplies, autumn
is a good time to visit a dealer-
ship. Many dealerships liqui-
date their inventory in
autumn to free up space for
new model releases about to
hit the market. Come
autumn, you may find it easier
to negotiate financing and
leasing deals.
Homeowners can save
on home improvement proj-
ects and other needs by taking
advantage of late-summer,
early-autumn discounts.

Renting out a home is a
great way for home-
owners to earn some
extra income. Some homeown-
ers rent their homes in an
attempt to wait out a sagging
housing market, while others
see renting their homes as a
long-term commitment to
their financial futures.
Being a landlord has its
advantages and disadvantages,
and the decision to rent out a
home is one that homeowners
should not take lightly. The
following are a handful of fac-
tors homeowners should con-
sider as they try to decide if
renting out their homes is the
right move for them.
TimeBeing a landlord is a
24/7/365 commitment, as ten-
ants will expect their landlords
to be on call at all times.
Tenants will call their land-
lords should plumbing fixtures
suddenly burst in the middle of
the night, and landlords must
be available to answer such
calls no matter how inconven-
ient they become. If you are
not willing or able to devote
the time necessary to tend to
tenant needs, then being a
landlord may not be for you.
Maintenance
Whereas homeowners
may be able to delay making
certain repairs in the homes
where they lay their heads,
such a luxury is not afforded
when they are renting out theirother properties. Repairs and
maintenance of rental proper-
ties cannot be put on the back
burner while you save money
to fix them. In addition, if even
minor repairs typically pose a
problem for you, you may soon
discover that hiring a handy-
man or discounting rent for
live-in supers is cutting into
your profits or making it diffi-
cult to pay bills. Before decid-
ing to rent out your home,
determine the potential costs
of maintaining a second prop-
erty and use that information
to decide if renting the proper-
ty is a sound financial invest-
ment or one that might put you
in the red.
Tenants
Many people who haverented have a horror story or
two about an absentee or indif-
ferent landlord, but landlords
also have their own such stories
about nightmare tenants.
When mulling whether or not
to rent out your home, consid-
er who your prospective ten-
ants will be and if your commu-
nity will supply the steady
stream of renters you will need
to pay your mortgage and bills
without jeopardizing your
finances. The last things first-
time or even experienced land-
lords want are tenants who
cannot pay their rent and/or
those who are disrespectful of
their neighbors and their land-
lords, so it’s best to give ample
consideration to your potential
pool of renters before decidingto rent out your home.
Help
Many landlords work with
local real estate agencies or
property management firms
who will do much of the leg-
work with regard to finding
tenants and maintaining prop-
erties. Research the cost of
such help to determine if you
can afford it and still make
renting your home financially
viable.
Attorney fees are another
cost prospective landlords must
consider. Landlord-tenant laws
can be difficult to decipher for
first-time landlords, so it helps
to have an attorney who can
help you decipher these laws
and how they should govern
your actions as a landlord. Butattorneys are not inexpensive,
and they must be worked into
your budget as well.
Renting a home is a great
way to earn extra income, but
homeowners must consider a
host of factors before putting
their homes up for rent.
Factors to consider before renting out your home

space, but items that go up
instead of out can create more
room in an apartment and
allow homeowners to keep
items they may otherwise
have to discard.
Reconsider your work
space. Men and women who
work from home may find
their work spaces take up con-
siderable chunks of their
apartments. But how many
items in your work space do
you still need? Many profes-
sionals no longer print docu-
ments, so if you still have
space allotted for printers you
might be able to redo such
areas without affecting your
workday. In addition, large
desks were once sought after
because they made perfect
homes for desktop computers.
But if you now use a laptop or
tablet when working from
home, you likely don’t need as
much desk space as you once
did. Downsizing to a smaller
desk and work area can open
up a substantial amount of
space without affecting your
ability to work from home.
Smaller living quarters
are a disadvantage to apart-
ment living, but you can take
several steps to make your liv-
ing spaces less cramped.
