Guaranteed multi-million dollar retirement payday

oday, 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 generate the income necessary to
live when they reach normal
retirement age. As I have stated 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 the
current 20 and 30 somethings
reach their 6th decade of life.

Today, based on the CPI,


Consumer Price Index, a dollar 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 accumulate $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 purchasing power as $1,500,000
in 2015 dollars. Assuming a
5% withdrawal rate, a person
of 25 today will need to be a
deca-millionaire to have an
annual income in todays 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, holding our breath for the ultimate
outcome, a retirement portfolio like a 401k or an IRA. Or
we could guarantee our financial futures by buying a multimillion life insurance policy
on Dad, Mom or a substitute
insured, like one of their

brothers or sisters. Its 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 beneficiaries. 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-perform the same premium dollars invested into the S+P 500,
the Dow Jones Industrial
Average or a myriad of other
choices, at the death of the
insured. 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 underwriting process may merely be

an inconvenience. And
remember, IRAs and 401ks
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 taxfree, added to my net worth. If
he were still alive, the cash
value of the policy would still
be mine and useable before his
demise. There is no shame or

By Mark Charnet

embarrassment in this technique to create wealth or a


retirement plan for oneself.
Everyone dies and the insurance companies make a profit
selling life insurance to the
people who purchase it, eventually to receive a payout from
it. This folks is a guaranteed
retirement plan; the only
thing the purchaser/beneficiary doesnt know is when he or
she will collect on it. Seventysix is too young an age to die,
that is without question and
50 is too young an age to collect on a fathers life insurance
policy. But, if we were to
increase both of our ages to 86
and 60 or 96 and 70 respectively, both parties would have
ended up winning, Dad with a
longer life, and his son with a
more secure and robust retirement 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 wifes
retirement security as well as
for my childrens 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 easy
to 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 first
begin to roll out new clothing
lines and mark down existing
items to make way for new
inventory. Beginning holiday
shopping near the end of summer 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-approaching holiday hanging over their heads, and comparison shopping helps
consumers feel more confident that they are getting the best deals possible. Starting early with regard to holiday shopping also allows shoppers
avoid the financial crunch that shoppers who wait until the holiday season 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.

A recent study authored by education and
psychology experts in Australia suggests
that kids are spending far more time looking at screens than the two hours recommended by the American Academy of
Pediatrics. Published in the journal BMC
Public Health in early 2015, the study surveyed more than 2,600 Australian students 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.

Make school day mornings easier

chool 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 normal wakeup time, using your
extra 10 or 15 minutes to shower 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 possible 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 backpacks 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 others 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 morning. Allowing your frustration
to show may only make kids
less fond of mornings, so
remind them as nicely as possible that everyone has a schedule to stick to if they seem to be
dragging their feet.

Keep the television off. If


watching the television is
ingrained in your morning routine, try going a few days without it to see if this makes it easier 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 television from your morning routine
can save time and also may
help your family grow closer, as
you will have more distractionfree 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

and opens their doors to the local community

inda
DAmicos
Academy of Dance is
about to embark on
their 39th year of operation!
They are so thrilled and humbled to open their doors to the
local dancers and share their
love of dance with the community! With adorable Pre-K
and Kinder ballerinas, beautiful recreational terpsichoreans, 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, boundaries are pushed, and where
coordination, strength, grace,
and agility are nurtured to create headstrong charismatic
young adults equipped with
life lessons needed to take on
lifes 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 pumping regional and national
competitions, LDAD is excited to invite you to share their
39th year of dance with them.
You may register by phone

Manage teams, clubs and leagues


in a digital world

ports leagues, afterschool 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 committee 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 few
resources to aid in such tasks,
today's technology makes it
easier to handle the responsibilities that come with managing 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 handful of applications league managers can consider to coordinate 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 anyone, 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 depending 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 current 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 multiple pages even easier, and there
is a calendar option for keeping
track of games and other meetings.
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 features
informative 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. The
site is free, though voluntary
donations are used to further
the development of the site.
Scout leaders can inform parents 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
the scores of other website creation software available at no-

Brought to you by
Dr. Matthew Krupnick,
the owner of Pequannock
Animal Hospital

Things to do before bringing a new cat home

ats and dogs are the


two most popular
types of pets in the
country, and while dogs have
been dubbed mans 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 animals 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 litter.
Before bringing your cat
home, it is best to make sure
you and members of your
household are prepared to
welcome a furry feline friend
into your home.
Is everyone ready for the
responsibility? Pets are a big
responsibility, and all members of the household should
be ready and willing to pitch
in and care for pets. Divide
duties based on age and physical ability. If a member of the

family doesnt 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 your
cat. This should be a low-traffic spot. Keep a litter box and
food and water bowls nearby.
Stock up on your supplies. 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
Find the right veterinarian. Select a veterinarian
whom you trust and makes

addition, many retailers offer


consumer-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

Retailers looking to

Things to do before bringing a new cat


home
continued from page 12

Would you hire you?


Picture this...

irca 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 I
mentioned how I really needed one more salesperson.
After a few seconds he said,
Why dont 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 vet
may 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 cord
containment devices. Know
which houseplants are toxic
and, if you dont 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.
Dr. Matthew Krupnick is the
owner of the Pequannock Animal Hospital. He grew up in
Kinnelon and is happy to be
home with his wife, three cats,
and two dogs to provide quality and compassionate care for
pets in the community. The Pequannock Animal Hospital is
located at 591 Newark Pompton Turnpike in Pompton

Calzone an alternative to pizza

alzones provide a fun


and tasty alternative
to pizza. Home cooks
who want to think outside the
pizza box can consider the following recipe for WholeWheat 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 cups warm water (105 F to
110 F)
1 ounce envelope quick-acting
dry yeast
2 cups unbleached white wholewheat flour, plus additional for
dusting
2 cups unbleached bread flour
cup extra-virgin olive oil,
divided

1 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoons Italian herb seasoning
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 baby
spinach, finely chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
cup soft goat cheese
1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
cup grated Parmesan cheese
cup basil leaves, chopped
small
cup drained sun-dried tomatoes in oil, chopped
1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
teaspoon salt
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
with a dough hook, sprinkle
in the yeast, and let it sit for 5
minutes. Add the flours, 3
tablespoons of oil, and salt
and seasoning; mix for 10
minutes on medium-low
speed until the dough is elastic in consistency. Cover the
bowl tightly with plastic wrap
and place it in a warm area
until the dough doubles in
size, about 90 minutes. If you
dont 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 shimmer, add mushrooms and
saut for 3 minutes; add
spinach and garlic and cook
until water releases and evaporates. 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 and
chill.
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 5inch circle, rotating after
every few rolls Place 1/3 cup
of filling on the front half of
the dough, leaving inch
around the border. Fold the
dough over until the edges
meet, forming a half-moon.
Fold over -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 filling. Brush the calzones with 1
tablespoon of oil and using
the kitchen shears, cut four
-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.

partment 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 responsibilities 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 diligently to avoid its accumulation once its 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 storage
areas for junk you wont use or
mail you have not opened.
Purchase some multipurpose furniture. Multi-purpose furniture, such as storage
ottomans or bedroom benches
that include storage areas for
bed linens or bath towels, can
be an apartment dwellers 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 aesthetic appeal and serve practical
purposes
for
apartment
dwellers with limited closet
space.
Wall-mount your television. While todays 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 fear
of losing a substantial chunk of
their deposits, but the majority
of todays mounts wont 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
apartments vertical space.

Factors to consider before renting out your home

enting out a home is a


great way for homeowners to earn some
extra income. Some homeowners 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 factors homeowners should consider as they try to decide if
renting out their homes is the
right move for them.
Time
Being a landlord is a
24/7/365 commitment, as tenants will expect their landlords
to be on call at all times.
Tenants will call their landlords should plumbing fixtures
suddenly burst in the middle of
the night, and landlords must
be available to answer such

calls no matter how inconvenient 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 their
other properties. Repairs and
maintenance of rental properties 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 handyman or discounting rent for

live-in supers is cutting into


your profits or making it difficult to pay bills. Before deciding to rent out your home,
determine the potential costs
of maintaining a second property and use that information
to decide if renting the property is a sound financial investment or one that might put you
in the red.
Tenants
Many people who have
rented have a horror story or
two about an absentee or indifferent landlord, but landlords
also have their own such stories
about nightmare tenants.
When mulling whether or not
to rent out your home, consider who your prospective tenants 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 firsttime or even experienced landlords want are tenants who
cannot pay their rent and/or
those who are disrespectful of
their neighbors and their landlords, so its best to give ample
consideration to your potential
pool of renters before deciding
to rent out your home.
Help
Many landlords work with
local real estate agencies or
property management firms
who will do much of the legwork with regard to finding
tenants and maintaining properties. 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. But
attorneys 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.

items in your work space do


you still need? Many professionals no longer print documents, 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 dont 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 apartment living, but you can take
several steps to make your living spaces less cramped.
