INVESTING FOR THE FUTURE Not many people stumble into financial security through sheer luck: a lottery win, big inheritance, or huge stock winnings.

For most of us the only way to financial security is a long term plan of saving and investing.

Consistency is key to reaching long term goals no matter your income. The sooner you start saving and investing, the longer your money has to compound and grow.

Set goals for how much of your income you will invest monthly and stick to it. Keep investment money and cash reserves separate so you won’t dip into your investment account when the market is down. Keep expenses low and spend on what is really important to you whether it is experiences or material things.

a financial advisor who is more knowledgeable about financial markets.

An advisor will help analyze short term vs long term needs, separate emotions from objectives as well as help with devising a portfolio and strategy suitable for your needs.

Try to avoid the big mistakes, like buying a home that is more than you really need or creating a heavy debt load.

Investing consistently over the long term is the best way to grow your wealth as there is no way to time the market.

If your employer offers a matching 401(k) contribution, be sure to take advantage of that option and contribute at least enough to receive it. It is essentially extra income that will grow and compound and is not taxed until you withdraw it.

You can do it yourself but it probably makes more sense to work with 2

g n i v i L r o i n e S RETIRE WITHOUT CHANGING YOUR LIFESTYLE

Today’s upscale senior communities offer “resort style living” which is hospitalityoriented and resembles a 4-star hotel or cruise ship rather than a hospital or retirement home.

Amenities Some of the more luxurious communities at the deluxe level even feature lively bars with chandeliers and overstuffed pillows.

More standard amenities include: Activities: Education and Entertainment, Fashion shows, Lectures from retired professors and various social and cultural events which are all examples of regularly planned activities for residents at higherend facilities. In urban settings, planned outings to the city for museums, art galleries or theater visits are frequent occurrences as well.

Grounds-keeping: Luxury communities are beautifully designed on the outside as well, from gardens to ponds to putting greens and walkways. Many include wellappointed courtyards for residents to socialize, relax, or enjoy a meal.

Concierge Service: Offering ‘Concierge Service’ is what makes a Senior Living community a Luxury one. Similar to a hotel concierge, a resident can use the Concierge to arrange hotel flights or tickets to events, a service that makes these luxury communities clearly more

desirable to prospective residents and their families.

Modern Therapies: Assisted living communities offer personal care to their residents, and the best communities often offer top notch therapy on top of standard care. In addition to specialized pet and physical therapy, upscale communities often also provide top notch occupational therapy, and music therapy, and always from trained and certified professionals.

Residences: The kitchen is the focal point of any home and it’s no different when looking at the residence at an Assisted Living community. A standard assisted living apartment has a kitchenette, traditionally including a mini-fridge, a microwave, and a small amount of cabinet and counter space. The luxury assisted living residences feature full kitchens and appliances plus top of the line finishes, like granite counter tops for instance.

Dining: An upscale senior living community will most likely retain a registered dietitian on staff and employ experienced chefs who serve gourmet meals. Choice and variety are crucial for the success of a kitchen at a luxurious community and most have more than two restaurants within the community, each with their own menus.

Personal Fitness Trainers and Recreational Facilities: Recreation rooms are always available to use at the residents’ convenience, with computer labs, fitness rooms and cinemas.

Fitness programs supervised by physical therapists and personal trainers are also kept on staff by any upscale community.

High-end assisted living communities also provide full service spa treatments, beauty salons for the women and barbershops for the men.

Additionally, no luxury assisted living community would be complete without a heated pool and spa, which are always popular with residents.

Pet Friendly: Studies have shown that pet ownership has been shown to be beneficial to seniors, and more and more luxury communities are open to allowing residents to have their pets on site. There can sometimes be limitations regarding the size and number of pets. They 10

frequently provide pet care such as dog walking, nail clipping, grooming and litterbox changes as well as formal, certified pet therapy.

Spacious Apartments: One can expect about 20% more square footage at a Luxury community (approx 600 sf versus 500 sf at a standard community). A Two bedroom apartment at an upscale community can be more than 1200 square feet.

Clearly, senior living is not what it was years ago. And for the retiree with means, it can be a lively, active, and rewarding lifestyle full of growth and fun!

LUXURY LIVING IDEAS KITCHEN Your kitchen is probably the heart of your home. This is where memories are made and shared as families love to congregate in the kitchen. The possibilities are endless. White is the most popular color for cabinetry but combining cabinet colors is the latest trend in kitchen design. Blues and greens are also becoming popular. Quartz is the latest for counter-tops and islands.

Commercial-grade appliances, extra sinks and dishwashers all add to the luxury kitchen. Also popular are pizza ovens, appliance garages, warming drawers and undercounter refrigerators for wine and other drinks. If you have space, consider a butler’s pantry which acts like a second kitchen - great for caterers or just an extra space for food prep without disturbing the main kitchen area.

Upgrading your home is only limited by your imagination and budget.

BATH For a luxurious bath, create a spa-worthy retreat. Consider heated floors and towel racks, a steam shower and a large soaking tub. Create a separate water closet for the latest in remote controlled toilets that feature a night light, bidet and self cleaning feature. Turn a great piece of furniture into your double sink vanity for a sophisticated look. And why not have a sofa and television for added ambiance.
