❅ ❅ ❄ ❆ ❅ ❄ ❅ Results Change Lives ❅ ❄ “I have become stronger and my energy level is great.” I was uncomfortable, unhappy, and more importantly unhealthy. I had gained 50 lbs between the age of 48 and 51. My eating habits were out of control and I had no form of exercise. I knew it was time to make a lifestyle change. I had tried diet meetings, boxed foods and inexpensive gym memberships I wanted a program that “held my hand” with both diet and exercise. Three days a week for one hour we weight train and do cardio. The trainers take all the guessing out of the workout. Exercising in small groups of four with a trainer is ideal. Cass and Jody give you encouragement, check form and make sure you know what you are doing next. The exercises and cardio programs vary from week to week so it stays interesting. An added bonus, you meet 3 new friends that are also working towards the same goal. Results? So far I have lost 35 lbs, 6% body fat. and a total of 14 inches. I make the right food choices and exercise daily. I have become stronger and my energy level is great.

Is Your Retirement Plan Protected? Planning for retirement is probably a top priority for you. Do you know how much money you need to retire? Are you concerned that you may outlive your money? Are you concerned about the burden a chronic health care need could have on your family and finances? Your retirement is the dream for you and your familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future. Proper planning and protection of that dream are crucial to help make it a reality. Preserve you and your familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choices Long-term care insurance can help protect and preserve your income and assets you have worked so hard to accumulate, and give you the ability to spend money for care. With the advances in home care services, many people needing long-term care are actually able to stay at home, with or near families, and still get the professional care they need. Long-term care insurance allows your family to be there to love you, instead of worrying about the financial, emotional and physical toll of providing care for you. Whether at home, in an adult day care center or an assisted living facility, you and your family can maintain control of your options and your lifestyle. Protect your retirement plan As the population ages and Americans are living longer than ever before, the need for long-term care services has emerged as an important element to a comprehensive retirement plan. In 2009, nursing home cost averaged $79,000 a year nationally , and these costs inflate every year. Do you have enough in your retirement to pay for the high cost of long-term care services? Without a proper long-term care plan in place, your assets and income can be significantly depleted. This could leave you and your family in a difficult financial situation. What would happen to you and your family if you have to pay out-of-pocket for your long-term care? With long-term care insurance, you will have peace of mind, knowing that you have taken control to protect your hard earned retirement assets. Begin your plan now The sooner you begin your long-term care planning, the better. The cost of waiting can be expensive in several ways. The younger you are when you purchase long-term care insurance, the lower the premiums will cost. As you age, premiums are higher if you purchase an equivalent policy and you may qualify for a lesser class rating due to health changes. You could pay thousands more in premium over the life of the policy, just by waiting a few years to purchase. Or, you may not be able to qualify for coverage at all. The worst part about waiting is that you may not have coverage in place when you need it most. With long life comes long-term planning. Make a plan for you and your family today. For more information on long-term care insurance, please contact Mike Wells, Agent, New York Life Insurance Company at (781) 398-8578.
