Would you hire you?

irca 2011. Jim was a


friend. A lazy friend.
One day Jim, who
worked 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 decid-

ed 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?

Picture this...

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!

Investor Confidence is Up!; The Big Market Crash of


2015!; The End of the Middle Class in America!
By Mark Charnet

hese were three headlines from three financial periodicals last


week that came across my
desk. They were written by
respectable writers with very
obvious strong opinions. Can
they all be correct and at the
same time? Invariably, history
has shown us that a good number of people hesitate to invest
at the bottom of the market,
thinking there is more room
on the downside. They wait
and wait as the market is moving back up showing sustained
upward momentum before
leaping in. They wait for the
headline that reads, Investor
Confidence is Up before getting off the fence and you
know what, they waited too
long! Then the second headline, The Big Market Crash
of 2015! headline makes the
front page of the paper and
these people knew that they
should not have gotten back
into the markets at that time.
Though they might lose a
small or a big fortune in the
crash, they feel vindicated in
their decision to wait, just not
long enough; instead of the
proper position of, I never
should have left the market!

Lets talk about headline


number 3. The End of the
Middle Class in America! Do
you agree? Are families being
pushed into poverty or stepping-up to the wealthy class?

These are the only two possible directions upon leaving


the middle class. Ive written
about inflation and the costs
of goods and services, taxation, both income and proper-

ty taxes in this column for


over seven years now. We
have all been witness to our
net disposable income being
whittled away by increasing
taxes, insurance premiums and
rising energy costs, we have
seen our grocery bill rise with
certainty and have known
people who were forced into
decisions of delaying their
retirement or move to a less
expensive State to live.
Savings rates have fallen from
8%, 20 years ago to the current rate of less than of 1%.

Remember when a million


dollars was really a million
dollars and one could live like
a millionaire off of the interest that sum was able to generate? Forever!?

We were taught by our


parents and the public school
system to get a good job with
benefits and for that era might
not have been totally bad
advice; however it should
have been accompanied by
the lecture of live below your
means and save and invest at
least 10% of your earnings
outside and in addition to the
company plan. I do believe
the 3rd headline, that the
middle class will be forced into
living with their children and
children living with their par-

ents purely for economic reasons. Why pay two mortgages


and utility bills when only one
is necessary. A better lifestyle
is possible when combining
resources, where parents can

passing. There are programs


available that may increase
the lifetime income each year
even if the account balance
is simultaneously dropping.
There are programs available,
for the informed that will pass
hundreds of thousands of dollars to your beneficiaries, but,
along the way if needed for
any long-term care claims will
provide the money for that. It
goes without saying that one
must study these programs to
determine which one, or a
combination of them, would
be best for your particular situation.

travel knowing that the homestead is occupied, protected


and cared for by their children; and children can afford
to save and invest more for
their future, which, is not
optional in order to have a
retirement free from working.

I hope my column today


has given you pause to reflect
and ponder about your own
retirement portfolio. Would
the crash of 2015, or during
any year, fatally injure your
income? Can you afford to let
that happen? A long-term
care stay, at home or in a
home, has the potential to
severely injure a retirement
portfolio. Of course, one could
purchase a traditional longterm care policy, but, is that
the best option today? I think
there is a better alternative.

Today, there are investment programs available that


guarantee* a lifetime income
for both husband and wife,
then return the original
investment or more, back to
the children at the parents

s a parent, you expect to file a federal


income tax return
every year. But do you check
to see if your children
need to file a return of
their own? The filing
requirements for children vary depending not
only on the amount of
income they have, but
also on whether their
income comes from
working, investing, or
both.
If your child had
wage income only during 2014, a tax return is
required if wages exceeded
$6,200. If the child earned less
than $6,200 but employers

withheld taxes, a tax return


must be filed if a refund is to
be claimed.
If your child had net self-

employment earnings of $400


or more in 2014, a return is
required and a self-employment tax is due. Income tax

Summer camp is often
something kids look forward

fondly recall long after they
reach adulthood. For many
kids, summer camp provides a
first taste of independence, as
youngsters spend significant

ered on something) approach


that is Valentines Day.
Whatever one may
think, in reality the day of
love is simply that; one day
out of the year that calls out
everybody and brings his
or her feelings to the
forefront. Whether single
or
committed,
Valentines Day makes
you think about loved
ones. Silly at times with
a little too much focus
on the material aspects
of it, February 14th is not
about giving or receiving
gifts, although lately it
has evolved to that. At
its core, Valentines Day
is about dedicating yourself unconditionally to a

loved one for 24 hours.


One may say that people
should always treat each other
this way and its true, but
unfortunately unrealistic. Too
many times we get caught in
the daily web of work, respon-

sibilities, and other frivolous


tasks that seem important on
any given day. Valentines Day
makes people check themselves and reminds them of
what is essential; why they
work hard every day and
night, and that is for the people we love.
If it were up to most of us
we would be on a beach somewhere not stressing about
tomorrow and loving today,
instead we work hard hour to
hour losing countless nights of
sleep, and we do it for the people we love. I do not see anything wrong with a day that
reminds us of that.
Happy Valentines Day,
make the best out of it.
Love ya!

A recent UCLA study headline states:


Baby Boomers Face More Health Problems Than Their Parents

Why are so many people getting acid reflux, diabetes, high blood pressure and high
cholesterol? This destructive environment that we are creating in our bodies of
Oxidative Stress, Acidic Stress and Dehydration Stress leads to a downward spiral of
inflammation, aches and pains, illness and disease. We then look older and feel older.
Dietary and Lifestyle Changes Without Proper Hydration,
Many Unhealthy Changes Occur in Our Cells

One solution can be as simple as drinking more water. But


what kind of water should we be drinking?
TAP WATER
Tap water is a healthier option than soft drinks and other beverages, but according to the Environmental Working Group, there
have been 315 pollutants found in America's tap water since
2004, and over half of these pollutants are completely unregulated and can legally exist in any amount.

Oxida
tive Stress

Acidic S
tres

At the current levels of contamination, the public is starting to


question the quality of tap water and wonders if it is safe enough
to drink.

BOTTLED WATER
Bottled water is not necessarily healthier than tap water and yet
it costs much more! Bottled water costs more per gallon than
gasoline! Although, through marketing tactics, it is associated
with healthy water, bottled water is not guaranteed to be any
healthier than tap water. In fact, there are many carcinogenic
chemicals that go into the making of plastic water bottles that
can leach into the water. Why do you think they constantly tell
us not to store bottled water in our cars? Because the plastic
heats up, releasing chemicals into the water. Bottled water has
already been heated many times in the 4 to 6 months it takes
to reach market.

Deh
ydrati
on Stre
s

A four-year study by the Natural Resources Defense Council


shows that 1/3 of the bottled water tested contains levels of contamination which exceed allowable limits. Bottled water can also
be slightly acidic, which may affect your body's pH balance. Finally, the environmental impact caused by the production and
disposal of plastic bottles is harmful to our ecosystem.

REVERSE OSMOSIS AND DISTILLED WATER


Reverse Osmosis and Distilling are filtering processes, which
may be effective in areas that do not receive municipally
treated water and are commonly used in bottled water facilities. Both reverse osmosis and distilling removes healthy, naturally occurring minerals in our water. These minerals not only
provide good taste, they also serve a vital function in the
healthy balance of our bodies. When stripped of these minerals, this water becomes unnatural and an aggressive absorber. This can be quite unhealthy. Also, 2 - 3 gallons of water
are wasted for every gallon of purified water produced; again,
a very negative impact on our environment and ecosystem.

THE SOLUTION
One of the best ways to clean and remove toxins from your
body is by drinking the right water so the body can heal itself.
Everything in the body happens in water. Nutrients, Minerals, Hormones and Insulin follow water into the cells.

Find out why tap water, bottled water, reverse osmosis and
distilled water are not the answer and could be actually
causing more health problems.

We have researched the best water to drink for detoxifying


your body of these harmful pollutants, as well as remove
pesticides (toxins) from your fruits and vegetables.

ANTI-OXIDANT, ALKALINE, RESTRUCTURED


IONIZED WATER
This technology comes from Japan and has been used in
Japanese homes for decades. It is now available in the USA.
This water brilliantly addresses the Three Stresses that are
causing us to feel and look older, slowing us down, and
causing more aches and pains: Oxidative Stress, Acidic
Stress and Dehydration Stress.

A safe Valentines Day for your pet

alentines Day is upon


us. This is a day to celebrate our loved ones
and show them we care. We
also have to take care of our
four-legged loved ones, as some
Valentines Day gifts and ideas
may be hazardous to our pets.
The most obvious warning is: Dont let your pets eat
chocolate. Chocolate is one of
the traditional gifts on
Valentines Day but can be
very dangerous to pets, even
life threatening. The toxic
compounds in chocolate are
methylxanthines, mainly theobromine and, less importantly,
caffeine. The amounts of theobromine and caffeine vary
with the type of chocolate.

For instance, unsweetened


(Bakers) chocolate contains 8
to 10 times the amount of
theobromine as milk chocolate. This is a very common
toxicity in dogs and seen less in
cats just by nature of their eating habits.
Clinical signs of chocolate toxicity usually occur within six to 12 hours of ingestion.
Theobromine affects the body
as a central nervous system
stimulant, cardiovascular stimulant, increases blood pressure
and nausea. Therefore, common signs of chocolate toxicity
are: vomiting, diarrhea, hyperactivity, tremors, seizures, fast
heart rate and, in severe cases,
death. If your pet ingests

chocolate, contact your veterinarian or poison control immediately for treatment. Also,
knowing the type and quantity
of chocolate ingested is helpful.
Another potential hazard
for pets on this sweet holiday
is any sugar-free gum or candy.
They commonly contain the
sugar substitute xylitol. Signs of
xylitol toxicity can be seen as
quickly as 30 minutes and causes a sudden drop in the bodys
blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
This may result in weakness,
depression, loss of coordination, seizures, coma and even
liver failure. Treatment should
be initiated immediately if
ingestion occurs.
Some holiday flowers,

though they are romantic, can


be toxic for your pet. The
biggest culprits are lilies. They
are highly toxic to cats, so
make sure your cats cant get
near them, or choose a different variety of flower but not
tulips (the bulbs are the most
toxic). Amaryllis, daisies,
chrysanthemums or any flowers with thorns may be potentially dangerous flowers.
Leftover gift-wrapping or
decorations are enticing for
curious cats. Make sure all ribbons, bows and other wrapping are out of your pets
reach and cleaned up. Cats
especially like chewing on
strings or ribbons which can
cause choking or worse, an

obstruction in the intestines


that could require emergency
surgery.
Candles are also a nice
touch on Valentines Day but
not to paws and fur. Dont
leave candles unattended, as
pets can easily be burned or
the candles could be knocked
over, causing a fire.
One last warning is not
to give pets as gifts. Puppies
and kittens are very cute and
cuddly but owning a pet is a
big undertaking. Purchasing a
pet should be done in a
responsible way and only after
a lot of research. If youre
ready, you should consider
adopting a pet from your local
shelter. These steps can be

done together and are romantic and rewarding.


Have a sweet and safe
Valentines Day!

Regions that adhere to daylight saving time, or DST, will set their clocks
forward at 2 a.m. on Sunday March
8, 2015. Many people look forward
to daylight saving time in the spring because it extends light into the evening hours,
allowing those who live in regions where DST is practiced to spend more time outdoors in natural sunlight. The modern incarnation of DST was proposed by New
Zealand entomologist and astronomer George Vernon Hudson in 1895. Hudson
enjoyed collecting insects and knew that it would be easier to do so if there were
more hours of daylight in the evening. That prompted him to present a paper to the
Wellington Philosophical Society in which he proposed a two-hour daylight saving
shift. In April 1916, Germany and Austria-Hungary became the first countries to
implement DST, and many countries have since followed suit. Many proponents
cite the positive impact that DST has on energy consumption, but research studying the impact of DST on heating and coolingusage patterns has produced mixed
results.

income for 2014 exceeded


$2,000 and your child is under
age 19 (age 24 if the child is a
full-time
student),
the
amount over $2,000 will be
taxed at your top rate. You
may elect to include your
childs unearned income on
your tax return in certain circumstances, rather than filing
a separate return for the child.

Be aware that a working


child can make contributions
to an individual retirement
account, either a regular IRA
or a Roth IRA. A contribution to a regular IRA will be
tax-deductible, reducing the
tax if your child owes any. A
contribution to a Roth IRA
wont be deductible so it
wont lower a childs tax bill,
but the offsetting benefit of

tax-free withdrawals later on


may still make it a wiser
choice. Contributions to 2014
IRAs may be made any time
up to April 15, 2015, the filing deadline for 2014 tax
returns.
For assistance with your
tax filing or those of your children, call our office.

Things to consider before choosing a summer camp


continued from page 7

in early spring. The following


are a few things parents should
take into consideration when
seeking a summer camp for
their kids.
STAFF
The right summer camp
staff can make all the difference. Many children are
understandably shy when
arriving at a summer camp, as
their friends from back home
might not be joining them.
That can make kids hesitant
to participate in activities or
less enthusiastic about those
activities. But a good staff will
know how to make kids feel
welcome, which should help
them come out of their shells
and make the most of their
summer camp experiences.
The quality of staffs can vary
significantly depending on the
camp, so its important that
parents ask camp representatives about their staffs before
making any commitments.
Ask how long the staff has
been together and the types of
training new and even veteran
staff members undergo before
the start of camp season? Does
the training include first aid
and emergency medical training and certification?
Its also good to ask about
the vetting process the camp
employs before hiring new
staff, including the extent of
its background checks. Are

criminal background checks


conducted? How many references must potential staff
members supply to be considered for employment? A good
camp will be forthcoming with
answers to all of your questions, so eliminate those that
appear hesitant to share information about their staffs.
A DAY IN THE LIFE
When vetting camps for
kids, parents should ask what a
typical day is like once the season hits full swing. Many parents want their youngsters to
have a well-rounded experience, while others might want
their kids to attend a more
specialized camp, whether its
a sports camp focusing on a
particular sport or a music
camp devoted to helping kids
become better musicians.
Regardless of the type of camp
parents are considering for
their kids, they should ask
about what daily life at the
camp is like. Ask to see schedules and how strictly camps
adhere to those schedules.
When considering specialized
camps, ask the staff representative if kids will have the
chance to simply have a little
fun and which types of recreational activities are planned
to give kids a break from what
are often rigorous schedules.
CAMP GOALS
Another thing parents
must consider before choosing

a summer camp for their kids


is the goals of each individual
camp. A camp should be dedicated to ensuring kids have
fun, even when kids are
attending more specialized
camps that tend to be more
strict. In addition, parents
should look for a camp that
wants its attendees to foster
relationships with their fellow
campers. Camp can be lonely
for some youngsters, especially
those attending summer camp
for the first time, but a summer
camp that strives to promote
friendship among its campers
can reduce, if not eliminate,
any feelings of homesickness.
Late winter is when parents should start looking at
summer camps for their kids,
and there are a host of factors
moms and dads should take
into consideration during the
vetting process to ensure their
youngsters have as much fun
as possible.
