    tivities each March 17. The fol-

    lowing are some of the more well-

    famous Saint Patricks Day parade

    in the world, New York Citys

    annual Pattys Day march down

    5th Avenue has been around since

    1762 and remains a must-see forall fans of Saint Patricks Day tra-

    ditions.

    New Orleans, Louisiana. While

    New Orleans might be most

    famous for Mardi Gras and all the

    revelry that accompanies it, the

    city also hosts a unique and rau-

    cous Saint Patricks Day parade.

    Just like Mardi Gras, the Saint

    Patricks parade in New Orleans

    includes floats, jazz bands and, ofcourse, costumed revelers.

    Florence, Italy. Saint Patricks

    Day celebrations in Florence are

    an ongoing event, with 10

    days of music,

    food and drink.

    While Italian

    cuisine is loved

    the world over,

    during their

    Saint Patricks

    Day celebrationsthe Florentines

    offer their take

    on Irish food and

    drink, making this

    celebration one of

    the worlds most

    unique.

    Oslo, Norway. Saint Patricks

    Day festivities in Oslo

    include a parade past

    the famed OsloCathedral. Revelers

    are encouraged to

    dress up, as parade

    participants dress up like famous

    Irish characters and people

    throughout Irish history, including

    As I write my column, itis Oscar night in

    Hollywood, the

    United States and the entire

    world. Shirley Bassey per-

    formed her James Bond hit

    Goldfinger from 1964 and

    Barbara Streisand, in honor of

    the late Marvin Hamlish, paid

    tribute with The Way We

    Were. Both of these singers hit

    the high notes of their careers

    with these fine musical compo-sitions that were brought back

    to life this evening. Though I

    hate to admit it, it was Shirley

    who brought down the house

    with a standing ovation for the

    quality of her performance,

    strength of her voice and the

    command of the stage at age76. Barbara is only six years her

    junior, yet still captivates audi-

    ences with the presence of a

    deity every time she performs

    live on stage. Christopher

    Plummer, 84, also a living leg-

    end, also made a presentation,

    stating he was interested in

    making 30 more films with any

    of the supporting actresses

    nominated for an Academy

    Award tonight.Each of these profession-

    als, craftsmen and crafts-

    women in their own right and

    among the most admired per-

    formers in their field, have

    proven many things over the

    years. Id like to give you my

    opinion of some of what they

    are, through a financial plan-

    ners eyes.

    Firstly, there is no fear,

    hesitation or nervousness in

    their performances. Though

    well past their prime, they con-

    tinue to shine and amaze us

    with the brilliance of their exe-

    cution of verse, song or dance.

    They are confident of their

    skills and with the passage of

    time, understand the limita-tions they must now endure.

    They can no longer reach or

    sustain the high notes of their

    youth, or they might require a

    teleprompter or they might

    need help navigating the stairs

    to the stage, but in no way will

    the audience see them require

    any outside aid, or witness any

    frailty or compromise in the

    level of performance demon-

    strating their craft. We expectShirley, Barbara and

    Christopher to be ageless in

    voice and forever on stage

    entertaining and performing at

    a winning competitive level.

    I believe they will know

    exactly when it will be time to

    put an end to their careers

    before the public decides for

    them. Unlike the professional

    athlete who might choose to

    see the curtain of his careercome down before his very eyes

    while rounding second base, a

    true professional performer

    would never take the risk of

    disappointing his audience; no,

    he would choose retirement

    first, leaving us with the mem-ory of his past craftsmanship, as

    not to disappoint or be embar-

    rassed by the public spectacle

    he would make of himself. We

    all remember performers who

    went beyond what should have

    been their own declared retire-

    ment date. (Frank Sinatra for

    one.)

    Barbara Streisand is one

    performer who, I believe, will

    never go on stage with less than

    her best. A triple threat

    throughout her career, she can

    sing, act and dance, but she is

    also a director and comedi-

    enne. She will leave singing inpublic behind, if it comes to

    that, concentrating on direct-

    ing or acting when she gets the

    urge to work for a few months.

    Another reason she would

    never compromise her audi-

    ence is because she is financial-

    ly independent and has been

    for decades. Forbes pegs her net

    worth at $340,000,000 and due

    to royalties, she will probably

    never drop much below thatfigure. Shirley and Christopher

    each have made millions of

    dollars over their careers and I

    hope and trust that their

    money is in trust for the hope of

    their kids and favorite charities.

    This is one area where

    even you and I can emulate

    these magnificent performers;

    you might not possess their tal-

    ent to entertain, but you can

    employ the same financialplanning techniques to

    Maximize your income today

    while Protecting, Preserving

    and Perpetuating your wealth

    for tomorrow!

    Another reason these

    entertainers look so good after

    decades in the public eye is

    probably because they have lit-

    tle to worry about financially.

    Having no financial stress has

    the propensity to increase life

    and certainly to make the jour-

    ney a lot more pleasant alongthe way. Christopher Plummer

    said at the Oscars: These

    actresses are not overnight sen-

    sations; they have been work-

    ing on their craft since their

    teenage years and will continue

    to do so for many more years to

    come.

    Are his words prophecies,

    prediction, conjecture or facts

    based on personal performance

    and experience? Id say all ofthose apply to every one of us,

    both in our journey through life

    and especially with financial

    matters. With patience, repeti-

    tive rehearsals, discipline, and

    investment of your time, ener-

    gy and money into that which

    you love or require, perhaps

    one day you will receive an

    award, too maybe not from

    the Academy per se, but defi-

    nitely from your spouse andkids.

    On that note, if you

    watched the presentation of

    the Oscars, did you notice how

    many winners thanked their

    families and loved ones, both

    here and departed, for their

    success and achievement?

    Their hard work, dedication

    and vision brought them into

    the Hollywood Hall of Fame.

    Your task (and you should

    decide to accept it) is to win

    your own personal AcademyAward of a rich rewarding

    retirement, financially stress-

    free with guaranteed never-

    ending monthly income and a

    massive bequest to your family

    when you are gone.

    This is something you can

    do to win your lifetime Oscar

    and I suggest engaging yourself

    in the proper activities with

    practice, rehearsal and vision as

    early in your life as possible toproduce the greatest degree of

    quarter-century old, Torontos

    Saint Patricks Day parade is

    now one of the largest in North

    America. Featuring more than

    2,000 marchers representing

    100 organizations, Torontos

    annual celebration of SaintPatrick covers roughly two

    miles and includes floats and

    lots of live music.

    Seattle, Washington. The

    city of Seattles Irish Heritage

    Club hosts its own Saint

    Patricks Day parade and, in

    fact, a week of celebrations

    officially known as Irish Week.

    A two-day Irish festival

    includes Irish music, singingand dancing as well as several

    contests and activities for kids.

    A

    father who is afraid to

    go the dentist is likely

    to pass on his fear tohis children, according to

    researchers at Rey Juan Carolos

    University in Madrid, Spain.

    The International Journal of

    Pediatric Dentistry published astudy where 183 Madrid chil-

    dren from 7-15 years old, as

    well as their parents, rated the

    level of fear to dentistry in an

    anonymous questionnaire.The data showed that

    mothers reported the highest

    levels of dental fear and the

    researchers concluded that the

    greater dental fear is for onefamily member, the greater it

    would be for the other family

    members. They also concluded

    that the fathers feelings about

    going to the dentist play a huge

    role in whether a mothers fear

    of the dentist will be passed to

    their children.

    Children seem to pay

    attention to the emotional

    reactions of their fathers, if

    going to the dentist will be

    stressful, said Professor

    America Lara-Sacido.

    The results point to aneed for dentists to reduce

    fathers dental fears by giving

    them accurate information on

    dentistry, teaching simple

    relaxation techniques, or

    addressing negative thoughts to

    prevent passing dental fears on

    to their children. The work

    with the parents is key and

    teaches them to be relaxed as a

    way of directly influencing

    their kids.

    more regularly, now is the

    time to think about fertilizing

    your lawn. Believe it or not,

    early spring is the time to begin

    fertilizing. The first few weeks

    of March are prime time for

    waking your hungry lawn.

    Some experts say that in a

    square foot of lawn there is

    potential for a thousand grass

    plants. Whether your grass has

    lacked, or you wish to improve

    its density and life, now is the

    time to prepare for spring.

    In addition to a fuller

    appearance, a well-fed lawn has

    healthy roots that will ulti-mately combat drought, heat,

    foot traffic, mowing, and other

    stresses

    that may

    occur.

    Well-

    established

    grass and turf

    areas also help to

    control soil erosion

    with their extensive root sys-

    tem. Fertilizer contains nitro-

    gen, which is the most impor-

    tant nutrient component in a

    lawn. In order to maintain the

    highest quality of turf, eachtype of grass requires different

    amounts of nitrogen. Gro-Rite

    Garden Center in Lincoln

    Park has several varieties of

    fertilizer available, including

    Scotts 4-Step Program, which

    is a four-times-a-year fertiliza-

    tion regimen for your lawn.

    Be sure to water your lawn

    after fertilizing, as fertilizing a

    dry lawn can be feudal!

    and tips for fertilizing

    your lawn, visit

    Garden

    Center in

    Lincoln

    Park. In

    addition to a

    variety of fer-

    tilization pro-

    gardening supplies,

    herbs, flowers, annuals,

    and trees are available. Grow

    It seems that we all survived

    the fiscal cliff legislation

    that was finalized early in

    2013. Small businesses survived

    especially well, with many of

    the prior beneficial tax provi-

    sions extended into 2013 and

    beyond. Here are a few of those

    business provisions that you

    should be aware of as a business

    owner.

    Asset expensing. This

    provision allows businesses to

    fully expense the purchase of

    many assets (such as equip-

    ment, furnishing, technology,

    etc.) in just one year, rather

    than being required to depreci-

    ate (deduct) their cost over a

    number of years. Up to

    $500,000 of these purchases

    can be immediately expensed

    in the year of purchase.

    Bonus depreciation. If you

    hit your expensing limit, you

    can always fall back on bonus

    depreciation, which allows you

    to deduct 50 percent (and

    sometimes more) of certain

    types of assets in the first year of

    purchase. This provision was

    set to expire at the end of 2012,

    but has now been extended

    through 2014.

    Work opportunity tax

    credits. These are tax credits

    (which are much more valu-

    able than tax deductions)

    available to employers who hire

    certain individuals. They

    include military veterans, peo-

    ple receiving government assis-

    tance, or those living in dis-

    tressed areas. These credits

    were set to expire, but have

    now been extended through

    2013.

    found use for these comfort pillows, which

    There are four main

    underlying causes for

    canine allergy symp-

    toms. Effective dog allergy

    treatment has been developed

    for them, but because all of

    these reasons produce com-

    mon symptoms, various tests

    may be necessary to determine

    which allergen is provoking a

    reaction. Standard methods of

    treatment are successful in

    controlling most cases. Some

    especially severe conditions

    may require the use of steroids

    or immunotherapy.

    The two most common

    causes of allergic reactions are

    atopic (that is, inhalants)

    mainly dust mites, pollen,

    mold and mildew and aller-

    gens that are present in flea

    saliva. The symptoms of an

    allergy are most commonly

    caused from inhaling an anti-

    gen, or a substance which

    causes the production of anti-

    bodies. Studies show that in

    excess of 40 percent of canines

    react to the offending sub-

    stances in flea bites.

    Reasons that more rarely

    produce responses are allergies

    to food or of the skin. The

    foods that are most likely to

    cause symptoms are the same

    foods that are the most com-

    mon ingredients in commer-

    cial food recipes. Certain fun-

    gal infections, that is, mange

    or ringworm, should be ruled

    out if they are suspected. Skin

    conditions that originate from

    exposure to noxious sub-

    stances are irritant or allergic

    contact dermatitis. These rare

    conditions are responses to

    irritating chemicals or other

    antigens.

    Complicating a specific

    diagnosis as to exactly what

    antigens are to blame is the

    fact that the same symptoms,

    itching and skin problems,

    characterize the different

    types of disorders. Vomiting

    and diarrhea may indicate a

    food allergy, and continuing

    ear problems or increased

    bowel movements are other

    possible signs. A food trial, in

    which the pet is placed on a

    novel food diet for twelve

    weeks, is the method used to

    isolate the food responsible.

    Avoidance of the aller-

    gen is a common strategy to

    reduce symptoms for food,

    flea, atopic and skin problems.

    By removing and then rein-

    troducing suspected allergens

    one at a time, one may discov-

    er the cause. Restricting pets

    to a clean, uncarpeted room

    and keeping them away from

    possible allergens is called an

    exclusion trial. Slowly intro-

    ducing possible causes, includ-

    ing rubbing a substance such

    as grass on the paw, will help

    to identify them.

    There are some other

    ways to remedy your pets

    allergies. Add Omega-3 fatty

    acids to their diet.

    This is fish or flax oil

    and they assist in

    reducing the effects

    of histamines, which

    are responsible for

    the itching and skin

    conditions. If the

    fatty acids do not

    take effect in a few

    weeks, antihistamine drugs,

    originally designed for

    humans, can also work for

    canines.

    Topical therapy, which

    involves treating the skin

    with anti-itch ointments,

    shampoos, rinses or sprays

    often have good results, but

    these offer temporary relief.

    Shampoos containing hydro-

    cortisone are also used. Biotin,

    a B-vitamin, has also shown

    positive results for some pets.

    When none of the above

    methods is adequate for dog

    allergy treatment, steroids

    produce good results, but are

    not recommended for long-

    term use because immune or

    endocrine system problems

    may develop over time.

    Immunotherapy, involving

    allergy skin testing and a series

    of injections, is a highly suc-

    cessful approach for most ani-

    mals. This therapy takes a

    dedicated pet owner, but

    results in significantly reduced

    reactions to allergens.

    Everyone is a little Irish

    come St. Patricks Day,

    and children are no

    exception. While kids cant

    indulge in some of the spirits-

    induced revelry that accom-

    panies the festivities this hol-

    iday, there are many things

    little ones can do to have a

    good time on St. Patricks

    Day.

    Dress in green: Encourage

    kids to dress and accessorize

    in all shades of green. For

    even more flair, they can use

    face paint to draw shamrocks

    on their cheeks and hands.

    Crafts: From paper four-leaf

    clovers to homemade lep-

    rechaun hats and belt buck-

    les, children can get in the

    spirit by fashioning crafts

    that correspond with the

    theme of the day.

    Treasure hunt: Send little

    leprechauns in search of gold

    at the end of the rainbow.

    Like an Easter egg hunt, hide

    gold-wrapped chocolate

    coins around the house

    and set kids off to find the

    treasure.

    Blarney Stone toss: Play a

    game of hot potato to Irish

    music using a garden rock to

    serve as the Blarney Stone.

    When the music stops, the

    person holding the stone is

    disqualified.

    Coin toss: Set up a pot or

    hat and see how many coins

    each child can toss into the

    In the nearly three decades

    that we at Boston Louis

    Jewelers have been in busi-

    ness, the one common desire

    couples have always had when

    choosing an engagement ring is

    for it to be unique. While there

    has been a return of art into

    jewelry designs in the past 10

    years or so, most engagement

    rings in stores are still mass-pro-

    duced and are one-of-many in a

    series, instead of one-of-a-kind.

    Throughout history, jew-

    elry has been made by hand or

    by manufacturers who had

    more of a regional influence.

    As a consequence, most

    engagement rings up to about

    50 years ago are more apt to be

    of that one-of-a-kind type.

    But over the years, so many of

    those have been either broken

    apart for their intrinsic value or

    they were redesigned into more

    fashionable pieces for the

    decades that followed.

    As a result, as time goes

    by, fewer and fewer of

    these rings are avail-

    able.

    Another factor

    adding to the unique-

    ness of an antique or vin-

    tage engagement ring is how

    the diamonds were cut. While

    the process of cutting diamonds

    today is aided by lasers and

    computers, diamonds and gem-

    stones back then were cut com-

    pletely by hand and eye. Each

    gem was a product of the cut-

    ters individual talent in analyz-

    ing the rough stone, and then

    through the process of cutting

    and polishing, maximizing its

    innate beauty.

    By rough definition, for a

    piece of jewelry to be consid-

    ered an antique it must be 100

    years old or more. The term

    vintage means indicative of

    a certain period or era. Some

    sought-after periods are

    Victorian, Edwardian and Art

    Deco. These terms devel-

    oped years later after cer-

    tain distinctive char-

    acteristics of those

    eras became identifi-

    able.

    Victorian pieces

    were made in yellow or

    rose gold and often

    contained symbols or

    motifs that at the

    time were associ-

    ated with

    expressions of

    eternal love,

    such as inter-

    locking hearts,

    initials or serpents.

    This is also where the

    three stone rings so

    popular today originated.

    Enamels, deep engraving and

    seed pearls were also character-

    istic of the Victorian Era. The

    diamonds of this period are

    what we now call old mine or

    old miner cuts, which were of

    a squarish-round shape and

    were the predecessor to what is

    sold today as a cushion cut.

    The Edwardian period

    brought light and delicate

    designs in platinum and white

    gold that reflected the feminine

    fashions of that time. Designs

    utilized open filigree work with

    hand-engraved patterns, mil-

    graining and accents of tiny

    diamonds.

    Art Deco designs incorpo-

    rated the geometrical and sym-

    metrical lines found in the

    architecture of that period in

    both the forms of the jewelry

    and the cuts of the stones as

    well. Vibrant rubies, emeralds

    and sapphires added contrast to

    the stark white of the diamonds

    and metals used.

    Each of these periods

    offers a beautiful option for

    those looking for a truly unique

    engagement ring. At Boston

    Louis Jewelers in Pequannock,

    we have a wide selection of

    vintage, estate and antique

    engagement rings priced from

    around $190 and up. We

    also have many dia-

    monds and gem-

    stones from these

    periods for

    those who

    would like

    either to

    replace stones

    lost from family

    heirlooms or to pair

    an old diamond with a

    history with a modern setting.

    Music is an integral

    element of many of

    lifes special

    events. The score of a movie

    can carry a film, and a tender

    song can bring tears to a per-

    sons eyes during a stage pro-

    duction.

    Many couples spend lots

    of time choosing a song for

    their first dance at their wed-

    ding. While that song is sig-

    nificant, couples should

    devote lots of time to choos-

    ing a band or deejay for the

    reception as well.

    Statistics compiled from

    a variety of sources, includ-

    ing USA Today, The

    Knot.com and Brides maga-

    zine, point out that roughly

    80 percent of guests say the

    thing they remember most

    about a wedding is the enter-

    tainment. When asked,

    many couples admit they

    wish they spent more time

    and money choosing their

    wedding entertainment.

    Music helps make mem-

    ories and gets guests on their

    feet. Those who enjoy them-

    selves most at the wedding

    are often the people who are

    on the dance floor. It is

    important to note that price

    shouldnt be the deciding

    factor for wedding day enter-

    tainment. It is crucial to see

    the entertainment provider

    in action to judge for oneself

    just how good he or she is.

    One of the best ways to

    witness a deejay or band in

    action is to attend a wedding

    where they will be working.

    Find out if you can spend a

    little while peeking into a

    wedding and gauge guests

    responses to the music and

    find out how the entertain-

    ment engages the crowd. The

    entertainer may be able to

    arrange this with a cou-

    ple from an upcoming

    wedding so that you

    dont necessarily have

    to crash the wedding. If

    a musical entertainment

    company is wary of letting

    you see players in action, it

    may be an indication to look

    elsewhere.

    Another good way to

    see for yourself if the enter-

    tainment factor is high is to

    pay attention to the bands

    and deejays used at weddings

    you attend. If you are plan-

    ning nuptials in

    a year or the

    months to come,

    take the cards or

    information of

    the entertainers

    you come across

    at weddings

    and any special

    event parties. If

    there is someone who is

    doing an impeccable job,

    there should be no hesitation

    to hire that person for your

    own wedding. Dont be

    embarrassed to ask a friend or

    family member for the name

    and number of their deejay.

    If you have specific

    music requirements, such as

    cultural music or certain ver-

    sions of songs you prefer to

    be played, it is key to discuss

    this with the deejay or band

    ahead of time and confirm

    they can meet your needs.

    Certain wedding vendors

    may promise you the world

    but fail to deliver. Ask the

    deejay for a playlist to see his

    or her selections for the wed-

    ding. Find out if the band has

    a compilation they can send

    to you so you can see how

    they sound performing some

    of the more popular songs

    typically played at wedding

    receptions.

    If you like a particular

    band or deejay, double-check

    that the people you see play-

    ing are actually the ones

    who will be performing at

    your wedding. Many times

    performers are part of larg-

    er companies that have

    many people working under

    one name. If youre not

    careful, you may not get the

    same performer you had

    hoped for. Request specific

    individuals if you want to

    guarantee that the music will

    be what you heard at a previ-

    ous wedding or during a trial

    performance.

    Music can make or break

    a wedding reception. Invest

    ample time into selecting and

    trying out vendors to ensure

    fun is to be had by all.

    Anello fence, located

    at 50 Route 23 is

    proud to carry on

    through 50 years of fences

    within the Anello family.

    Anello Fence invites local

    residents and customers to

    celebrate with the fourth

    generation. To understand

    our business, I think its

    important to take a look at

    where we came from and how

    the family has progressed

    over the last 50 years, says

    Steve Anello, owner of

    Anello Fence (not affiliated

    with any other company).

    As immigration began to

    taper off in the mid-1950s, a

    key local character found his

    way onto American soil from

    his homeland of Italy. Emilio

    Anello, Sr. came to the

    United States in 1956 and

    began working for a local

    company in the fence indus-

    try. Little did he know, this

    move would set the pace for

    the rest of his life and impact

    his family for generations to

    come. Shortly after breaking

    into the fence industry,

    Emilio was joined by his

    brother Joseph and his father

    Salvatore Anello. Seven

    years later, on Route 23 in

    Wayne, Anello Bros, Inc. was

    born. Emilio Anello, the

    founding father of Anello

    Bros., Inc. and the person

    responsible for making the

    Anello name synonymous

    with fences, came to America

    in search of an opportunity;

    he is the very embodiment of

    what the American dream

    looks like, says Steve

    Anello, Emilios son.

    Over the course of the

    next decade and a half, the

    company outgrew its Wayne

    location and moved to a larg-

    er location. Salvatore would

    travel between New Jersey

    and his hometown in Italy

    frequently to accommodate

    his Italian real estate business

    while playing an invaluable

    role in his sons fence compa-

    ny until 1968 when he

    retired.

    Throughout the years,

    Anello Bros., Inc. improved

    their trade, constantly push-

    ing to remain a frontrunner

    in the fencing industry.

    Anello was not only the

    largest retail fence establish-

    ment in Northern New

    Jersey, but also was a major

    wholesale supplier to many

    other fence companies in the

    Northeast. In 1967, Emilio

    and Joseph purchased and ran

    a saw mill in Vermont to

    manufacture their own wood

    fences. The saw mill supplied

    not only their store but many

    other fence companies, and

    ultimately many homeown-

    ers. 1974 brought on the

    addition of self-manufactured

    chain link fences by running

    three machines twenty-four

    hours a day. Finally in 1999,

    Steve Anello began fabricat-

    ing PVC fences as the very

    first in the area to do so.

    Currently Anello is one of

    North Jerseys largest suppli-

    ers of the product and now

    runs three PVC machines

    daily. Today Anello Fence,

    LLC owned by Steve Anello

    offers several additional fenc-

    ing varieties like arbors, mail-

    boxes, mailbox posts, bamboo

    50 years of fences! The Anello family

    celebrates its 50th yearin the fence industry By Joe Pellegrino Jr.

    DIRECTIONS

    Preheat the oven to 375

    degrees F. Line a sheet pan with

    parchment paper.

    Combine the flour, sugar,

    baking soda, and salt in the

    bowl of an electric mixer fitted

    with the paddle attachment.

    Add the butter and mix on low

    speed until the butter is mixedinto the flour.

    With a fork, lightly beat

    the buttermilk, egg, and orange

    zest together in a measuring

    cup. With the mixer on low

    speed, slowly add the butter-

    milk mixture to the flour mix-

    ture. Combine the currants

    with 1 tablespoon of flour and

    mix into the dough. It will be

    very wet.

    Dump the dough onto awell-floured board and knead it

    a few times into a round loaf.

    Place the loaf on the prepared

    sheet pan and lightly cut an X

    into the top of the bread with a

    serrated knife. Bake for 45 to 55

    minutes, or until a cake tester

    comes out clean. When you tap

    the loaf, it will have a hollow

    sound.

    Cool on a baking rack.

    Once they have walked

    down the aisle and

    returned from theirhoneymoon, the next step

    many newlyweds look forward

    to is buying their own home

    together. Though there are

    deals to be had in any real

    estate market, the cost of home

    ownership is something many

    newly married couples cannot

    instantly afford. Thats espe-

    cially true for the increasing

    number of couples who pay for

    their weddings without anyhelp from family.

    Such couples still harbor

    the dream of home ownership,

    but realizing that dream can

    seem like a daunting task. But

    the task grows easier when cou-

    ples begin to exercise some

    financial restraint. There are

    many cost-cutting measures

    newlyweds can take that will

    help them save money for

    whatever their next big pur-chase might be.

    Learn to cook. Learning to

    cook is not only a rewarding

    lesson, but also one that can

    help newlyweds save a signifi-

    cant amount of money.

    Contrary to popular belief,

    cooking isnt terribly difficult.

    Gourmet meals might require

    some natural culinary inclina-

    tion, but more standard fare

    can be as simple as following arecipe. For those who have

    never stepped foot in a kitchen,

    it might be a good idea to take

    cooking lessons. Such lessonsare typically inexpensive, and

    the cost of the lessons will be

    recouped once couples start

    Question: Why is

    renters insuranceimportant?

    Answer: Renters insurance

    provides coverage for the

    personal content you own. It

    protects extensively, ranging

    from your socks to your

    MacBook Air. Specialty

    items such as antique jewelry,

    musical instruments, collec-

    tors items, even handguns

    can have separate floaters or

    increased coverage.With your renters policy,

    you will have liability cover-

    age, as well. Lets say, for exam-

    ple, that its the week after

    your wonderful Super Bowl

    colloquy. You receive a hand-

    delivered notice letting you

    know that youve been served

    because that mysterious patron

    at your gathering ended up in

    the hospital from the fall he

    sustained in your home whilehe was extremely intoxicated.

    With renters insurance, you

    have a policy that will keep

    your savings or future wages

    pretty well secured.

    The gem for a renterspolicy is that your personal

    belongings anywhere around

    the world are covered. If you

    are vacationing in Jamaica

    and your Dooney & Bourke

    suddenly grows the feet of a

    track star, it is still covered.

    The outlay for a renters policy

    is very minimal, while the

    protection is very vast.

    Whether renting an apart-

    ment with eight other neigh-

    bors on your floor, or renting a

    private dwelling with yourown backyard, renters

    Insurance is a very wise

    investment.

    From apartment fires to

    the random burglary, after

    something bad happens is not

    the time to secure your

    belongings. Contact me today

    and lets protect the legacy

    you build.

    cooking for themselves and

    stop relying on costly meals outon the town. Couples who

    learn to cook together might

    also find it strengthens their

    relationship.

    Downgrade the apartment.

    Non-married couples who live

    together commonly prefer

    two-bedroom apartments,

    using the second bedroom as a

    guest bedroom/home office.

    The cost of a two bedroom is

    more than a one bedroom, but

    non-married couples often feelits worth the extra money. No

    matter how negligible that

    extra cost is, newlyweds saving

    for a home should consider

    downgrading to a one bed-

    room (unless one person works

    from home). This can help

    save some money on a month-

    ly basis, enabling newlyweds

    to inch closer to the day when

    they will have enough money

    saved to make a down pay-

    ment on their own home,which can then have as many

    rooms as couples prefer.

    Furnish the home piecemeal.

    One advantage todays newly-

    weds have over those of yester-

    year is that many live together

    before walking down the aisle.

    This means theyre not really

    starting from scratch once

    they get married. A typical

    modern couple already has

    enough furniture and other

    household items to get by oncethey have moved into their

    new home. For those con-

    cerned about how theyre

    going to furnish a home once

    theyve signed on the dotted

    line, one way to cut those costs

    is to hang on to what you cur-

    rently have, and steadily buy

    new items one-by-one after

    youve moved in. Rather than

    facing the hefty bill couples

    can expect if they buy every-

    thing at once, newlyweds whogo the piecemeal route will

    find its much less stressful to

    furnish a home piece-by-piece.

    Find ways to make home

    ownership work. First time

    home buyers are typically

    shocked at the cost of home

    ownership. However, commu-

    nities might offer a class that

    explains the home-buying

    process and how best to navi-

    gate it. Some lenders even

    offer a lower interest rate toprospective buyers who have

    completed such a class. Such a

    discount can save couples a

    significant amount of money

    over the course of the mort-

    gage, and the classes can give

    couples a better understanding

    of what theyre getting into by

    buying a home.
