    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

    I mentioned how I really

    needed one more salesper-

    son. 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 ulti-

    mately change. After awhile,

    the comfort zone can really

    stink!

    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.

    Apartment living has

    its advantages.

    Without a mortgage

    to pay, many apartment

    dwellers feel more free thanhomeowners 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 land-

    lord 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 uncom-

    fortable, but there are ways

    apartment dwellers can make

    even the most confined living

    spaces seem roomier.

    Clear the clutter. The eas-

    iest and perhaps most effective

    way to conquer cramped living

    quarters is to remove clutter

    and work diligently to avoid its

    accumulation once it’s gone.

    Only buy new furnishings

    when you need them to replace

    existing items, and resist theurge to treat dressers, coffee

    tables and dining areas as stor-

    age areas for junk you won’t use

    or mail you have not opened.

    Purchase some multi-pur-

    pose 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 dweller’s bestfriend. 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 pur-

    poses 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 fear

    of 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

    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-

    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.

    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.

    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 fam-

    ily members who have recent-

    ly 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 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 catmay 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-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, youcan 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

    Fall can be an ideal timeof year for homeowners

    to tackle home

    improvement projects, as the

    moderate temperatures make

    for ideal conditions to work

    in and around the house. In

    addition, many retailers offer

    consumer-friendly sales in

    autumn, helping homeown-

    ers to save money.

    As early as September,

    many stores begin stockingtheir shelves in advance of 

    the holiday season. As a

    result, stores look to

    unload summer and fall sea-

    sonal 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 andgarden items. In addition,

    check with local contractors

    to see if they will offer dis-

    counts late in the season.

    Tree-removal companies,

    landscapers, fence installers,

    masons, and others may cut

    prices in mid- to late-autumn

    as they look to earn a bit

    more money before the

    arrival of winter.

    Snow removalRetailers looking to

    move snow blowers, shovels

    and other winter accessories

    may offer teaser deals to

    attract customers. It’s best to

    purchase such tools now

    before the first big storm

    drives up demand.

    Cooking appliancesManufacturers typically

    introduce new stoves, cook-

    tops and other cooking sup-

    plies in advance of the holiday

    season. Older models may be

    discounted to make room for

    the new arrivals, and you may

    be able to score even biggersavings on floor models. If 

    renovating the kitchen is in

    the works, wait until early

    autumn to start appliance

    shopping.

    Painting supplies

    The weekends surround-

    ing Labor Day and ColumbusDay are also great times to

    find deals on home improve-

    ment, as retailers know cus-

    tomers have extra time to

    complete projects during

    these long weekends. Paint,

    rollers and other supplies may

    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.

    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 CalzonesServes 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 flour¼ 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

    chopped4 cups lightly packed baby

    spinach, 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, chopped1 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

    with a dough hook, sprinkle

    in the yeast, and let it sit for 5

    minutes. Add the flours, 3tablespoons of oil, and salt

    and seasoning; mix for 10

    minutes on medium-low

    don’t have a warm area inyour 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

    21/28

    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 ina 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 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 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

    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 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 5-

    inch circle, rotating afterevery 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.

    Annmarie DeGeorge, a

    realtor at Century 21

    Crest Real Estate,

    Pompton Plains, is hoping to

    “close the door on cancer”

    with her new charitable giving

    initiative. DeGeorge will

    donate $100 to the cancer

    charity of her client’s choosing

    at the close of each house,

    whether a purchase or a sale.

    Annmarie DeGeorge, a

    Pequannock Township resi-

    dent, was inspired to start this

    program because cancer has

    impacted her family and

    friends.

    “In September of 2013,

    my sister Stacy Norkus passed

    away from breast cancer after a

    four year battle. My mother

    was also diagnosed with breast

    cancer in 2004 and again in

    2013. She is a survivor,” said

    DeGeorge adding, “I am very

    frustrated that there is so

    much cancer. We hear about it

    more and more. I want to help

    find a cure. Our generation

    has more and more of this and

    I don’t want my children to

    hear more cases of cancer. I

    want to hear less about it.”

    DeGeorge said she want-

    ed to do something to raise

    money to fight cancer anddecided that “the one thing I

    know how to do is sell houses,”

    so she combined both efforts

    to create her “Close the Door

    on Cancer” campaign.

    DeGeorge is not new to

    the world of fundraising for

    cancer research. She has par-

    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 every-

    one gets where they need to

    be on time.

    ticipated in Mud Girl runs for

    cancer and when her son RJ

    DeGeorge was a wrestler at

    Pequannock Township High

    School, she started the “Pin

    Cancer” campaign to raise

    money for breast cancer

    research. During her son’s sen-

    ior year, he and the wrestling

    team raised over $4200.

    Annmarie DeGeorge

    continued the “Pin Cancer”program when RJ went off to

    the University of Maryland.

    Together, her son and his col-

    lege wrestling teammates have

    earned over $7500 for breast

    cancer and other cancers,

    donating money to St. Jude’s

    Children’s Research Hospital

    to fight childhood cancers.

    DeGeorge’s original can-

    cer fundraising centeredaround breast cancer but she is

    willing to donate $100 per

    closing to any cancer organiza-

    tion. “On my personal

    Facebook page, I have written

    about this program and have

    included the different colored

    ribbons of many cancers so

    that my clients can choose

    where the money goes.”

    “I want to spare other

    families the heartache of can-cer. I would like them to have

    all the medical care and help

    they can get. I want everyone

    to be able to survive. I want a

    way to help,” said DeGeorge.

    “I hope this program is able to

    open the window to a bright

    future for our kids – cancer

    free – and to ‘Close the Door

    on Cancer’,” said DeGeorge.
