MARC WEISS TALKS ABOUT FINANCES

EXPERT FINANCIAL ADVICE FROM MARC WEISS
All About IRA's

What does IRA stand for? Most people immediately say "it's an Individual Retirement Account." WRONG. IRA actually stands for Individual Retirement Arrangement.

An IRA is a type of account that permits Americans to save for retirement while enjoying benefits such as deductible contributions to traditional IRAs, tax-deferred growth (tax-free growth for Roth IRAS!) and the ability to leave a Multi-Generational legacy to loved ones.

THIS DIET HAS BEEN LINKED TO A LONGER LIFE-AGAIN

It's no coincidence that some of the world's populations with the longest lifespans live along the Mediterranean coast. The climate there ensures that foods like fruits, vegetables, olives, beans and fish are abundant, which are all rich in the antioxidants that can combat aging triggered by pollution and stress. They're also powerful fighters against the inflammation driving so many chronic diseases, from heart disease to cancer.

ARE YOU AGING FASTER THAN YOU SHOULD BE?

The interesting thing about getting older is that we don't always feel (or act!) our age. And there's a reason for that! Every single one of us really has two ages-a chronological age (presumably, the one you count now) and a biological age.

That means that even at 55 years old, you may feel 70. But the good news is that the reverse is also true-at 70 years old, you can look and feel 55!

Many of my patients are just venturing into this exciting new time in their lives-with their grown children out of the house and grandbabies on the way!-and the last thing they want to lose is their energy or mobility.

Does that sound like you? If so, I can help!

PLEASE CLICK HERE to read more and get access to an in-depth, 12-page document on the accelerated aging process-as well as tips on how you can improve your quality of life.

GRANDPARENTING HELP

Communication between grandparents and their grandchildren (or even children) can be challenging especially in these times.

Linda Minster, a UCLA graduate with a master's degree in education, administration and supervision, works with grandparents to improve their interactions. A parent and grandparent herself, she is very passionate about ways of improving communication between generations.

Minster, the author/instructor of two classes, "Grandparenting Successfully" and "Parenting Successfully", while training teachers at CSUN, knows how stressful life can be, particularly today. She teaches that the best way is when they all work together. Most grandparents want to enrich their grandchildren's lives and don't give themselves credit for the positive role models they are. Her classes explore how they can do this.

She is available for private or group talks.

You may contact her at: [email protected]
