Max's Healthy Tip of the Week:
All fruits and vegetables carry pesticide residues.
Buy organic or at least "pesticide free" produce
whenever possible.
Here's a list of the dirty dozen - those fruits and veggies that must ALWAYS be organic since the contamination
in this produce goes right into the core.
They are peaches, apples, sweet bell peppers,
celery, nectarines, strawberries, cherries, pears,
imported grapes, spinach, lettuce and potatoes.
Farmers' Markets Here We Come!

MARC WEISS TALKS ABOUT FINANCES
EXPERT FINANCIAL ADVICE FROM MARC WEISS
Projecting Healthcare Expenses During Retirement
One component of retirement planning that many Americans typically underestimate is healthcare costs. It is virtually impossible to know for certain how much money you will need to spend but it is a huge mistake to underestimate that projection.
According to studies from the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI), even retirees who are eligiblefor Medicare should expect to spend substantial amounts of money to supplement that coverage. EBRI also found that women generally need to spend more money on healthcare expenses due to the statistical difference in longevity between men and women.
CLICK HERE FOR THE BULLET POINTS that spell out a
few other interesting findings from research conducted by EBRI.
Now the question is, how much will you need to cover your healthcare expenses during retirement?
Talk to Marc today to find out the answer and get personalized analysis to help identify potential solutions.
