Charnet answers financial questions
from Life & Leisure readers
A
s introduced in the
last issue of Life and
Leisure, readers are
encouraged to call, mail, fax
or email their financial ques-
tions to me for a response, so
everyone can benefit from the
answers. Questions must
include the name and contact
information of the reader, yet
may remain anonymous in the
paper. This week’s first two
questions are:
Dear Mark: My husband
and I are 40 something with
two girls ages 3 and 5. We feel
like we are doing everything
right, contributing monthly to
529s ($200 per child), auto-
matically contributing to my
husband's 401k and maxing
out his company match. We
refinanced our mortgage down
to 4%, which paid for itself in
7 months. We carry no credit
card debt, though we use them
to pay for EVERYTHING we
can, but we pay them off each
month. Our only other debt is
one car payment, our mort-
gage and a student loan pay-
ment of $200/mos. Despite
being what we feel is finan-
cially responsible (we can
account for every dollar spent
in the past 10 years!) we are
anxious about paying for col-

lege, having enough for retire-
ment and knowing the right
amount of life insurance we
should be carrying on each of
us. Any help in how we can
work towards ensuring our
financial future and that of
our children's is secure would
be appreciated. Carolyn E.
Dear Carolyn: Thank
you for writing, what a pleas-
ure to read your financial
report card; I grade you and
your husband an “A”. Not an
A+ though, because of the
529 plans which, as I’ve writ-
ten before, I do not like them
at all. In concept and theory
they sound good, 2 kids and
the abhorrent future price of
college, the 529 plan created a
vehicle to accumulate wealth
for that purpose. The problem
is, the success you will enjoy
in the plan will hurt or hinder
the availability for financial
aid packages available to you
for college when the girls
apply. 529 assets are part of
the EFC, Expected Family
Contribution. There is a bet-
ter way that will accomplish
the goal of accumulating capi-
tal for college and at the same
time, maximize your aid eligi-
bility, in other words, have
your cake and eat it to.
Interestingly, the solution ties
into your second question,
ample life insurance coverage
for you and your spouse. To
elaborate, I will need a bit
more information. In this way
I can do some work for you
and create some fascinating
proposals and illustrations
that will completely satisfy all

of your requirements.
The answer for Carolyn
lies in the proper life insur-
ance for her and her husband.
Interestingly, life insurance
cash values are not factored in
the EFC formula; yet, their
cash value may be accessed for
college tuition needs, tax-free,
if removed from the policy
properly. Further, the cash
value accumulations may be
linked to a stock market index
like the S+P 500 where, by
formula, can only grow with-
out the possibility of negative
returns from crashes and cor-
rections. Therefore, Carolyn
and her husband can use the
same money to provide for the
proper life insurance protec-
tion today, a supplemental
tuition reimbursement plan in
13 and 15 years respectively
and ultimately a tax-advan-
taged retirement plan at their
age 67, to complement their

Senior citizen canines By Dr. Matthew Krupnick

O
ld age happens. Our
dogs are no excep-
tion. As our dogs
become senior citizens, their
physical and mental capabili-
ties change and their needs
change too. Being aware of
these changes and knowing
what to expect will help your
pet’s golden years be happy
and comfortable.
Some common changes
that you may expect to see in
your senior dog are: loss of
hearing or vision, decreased
activity and/or weight gain,
changes in skin or fur, dental
disease, more sensitive stom-
ach, lumps and bumps, or
even dementia. These
changes don’t happen at the
same time for all dogs because
in general, smaller breeds live
longer than larger dogs. A
good rule of thumb is that, on
average, a dog is considered a
senior at 7 years of age.
Senior dogs may act dif-
ferently and may require dif-
ferent care but age is not a dis-
ease. These dogs aren’t lost
causes and minimal effort can
add years to their lives. The
main focus should be on pre-
vention. Whenever possible,
it is better and less costly to
prevent a problem from occur-
ring, rather than wait for a
problem to develop. Detecting
diseases in their early stages
greatly improves the out-
come. Advancements in vet-
erinary medicine have kept
our pets alive longer, healthier
and happier. If there is a prob-
lem with your dog, don't
assume it’s just because he/she
is old, and nothing can be
done. With the appropriate
treatment, which can be sim-
ple and non-invasive, many
conditions can improve.
Geriatric care for your
dog and prevention begins
with routine visits to your vet-
erinarian. Most pets visit
their veterinarian once a year
but it is recommended that
senior pets be seen every 6
months. Mainly because dogs
age approximately seven times
faster than us and early detec-
tion of problems is key. Your
veterinarian may do the fol-
lowing to assess and maintain
a healthy senior dog: take a
thorough medical history not-
ing changes in behavior and
physical abilities, a complete
physical examination, early
detection blood work and uri-
nalysis, aspiration of any new
lumps or bumps, x-rays, glau-
coma checks and blood pres-
sure checks.
Based on the veterinari-
an’s findings, treatment
options and care can be dis-
cussed. One of the most
important aspects is nutri-
tion. In general, a high quali-
ty senior food is recommended
once your dog reaches 7 years
of age but there may be very
individual nutritional needs.
The best food to feed depends
on the specific problems or
nutritional requirements of
the individual animal. For
instance, obesity is a very
common problem of older ani-
mals and will shorten their
lifespan. A lower calo-
rie/higher fiber diet
would be recommend-
ed for these dogs.
Other diets would be
advised for dogs with
GI disorders, kidney or
liver disease, arthritis,
skin problems, etc.
Home care is also essen-
tial. Close observation of any
changes in mobility, drinking,
eating, etc should be noted
and reported to your veteri-
narian early. Potential prob-
lems may also be uncovered
by getting your hands on your
pet to inspect them periodi-
cally.
Feed a good quality dog
food that is appropriate for
your dog's specific needs. Do
not allow your pet to gain
excessive weight which is very
common when your senior
dog’s metabolism slows down
and they don’t exercise as
much. It can make them
more prone to arthritis, heart
disease and diabetes. Follow
your veterinarian's recom-
mendations as to exercise,
nutrition and any medications
that may be needed.
Our senior dogs may not
be able to do what they used
to but with a little prevention
and early detection they can
still live a happy, fulfilling life
and still be wonderful com-
panions to us.

What's behind the snore? Sagging, floppy tissue

Wayne, NJ, says lots of patients

report being "kicked out" of

affected more than women is
likely due to fat distribution.
When men gain weight, it is
usually in the neck, upper torso
and abdomen," he says. "On
the other hand, women usually
gain weight in the hips and
thighs.”
Fat in the neck area can
constrict airway passages and
just as wrinkles develop with
aging skin.

Alcohol and sedatives can

the same time! Thank you
Carolyn for your question,
additional information is
already on its way to you.
Our next question comes
from Bruce M, a high school
teacher in Wayne:
Dear Mark: Why would a
person ever have a Variable
Annuity inside a 403(b)? As
someone who deals in annu-
ities I am hoping you will have
an interesting take on this
issue. Thanks, Bruce
Dear Bruce: Your ques-
tion is an excellent one and
interesting at the same time,
the 403(b) industry was
devoted exclusively to vari-
able annuities in the begin-
ning of their introduction to
the investment community for
those people looking for equi-
ties (stocks or stock mutual
fund like alternatives). The
biggest difference with a vari-
able annuity is the death ben-
efit feature that protected the
value from market losses at
the death of the annuitant.
Another name for a 403(b) is
a tax-sheltered annuity or
TSA. TSA’s are available to
teachers as well as hospital
workers and not for profit
organizations as their retire-
ment plan of preference and
all annuity types are available
as a TSA to include tradition-
al fixed, fixed indexed and
variable annuities.
Bruce, I believe your
underlying question is: Is their
value in rolling over or trans-
ferring an employer sponsored
403(b) into an IRA variable
annuity where they both pro-
vide income tax-deferral any-
way?
The answer is absolutely
yes! In addition to a death
benefit VA’s also offer a liv-
ing benefit rider (LBR). This
feature, unavailable in most
TSA versions, would provide
immediate upgrades and
incentives for the partici-
pant. With different nuances
from each issuing carrier and
product, it’s important to
check the fine print to secure
the best benefits in line with
the purchaser’s individual
goals and objectives. The

over-the-counter deconges-
tants or breathing strips that
adhere to your nose could help.
"There can be a narrowing or a
collapse in your nose, and
[breathing strips] can keep that
area open, but if you have a
septal deviation or nasal polyps,
they need to be addressed”, says
Kassir.
When Snoring Turns
Dangerous
Sometimes, snoring can
be a sign of sleep apnea, a
potentially serious disorder in
which breathing repeatedly
stops and starts. Sleep apnea is
more common in overweight
people, though normal weight
people can also develop it.
For someone who is
already prone to sleep apnea,
weight gain can increase the
risk, says Kassir. Fat "pads" can
constrict the airway and lead to
snoring, or in cases of sleep
apnea, a complete collapse of
the airway.
Obstructive sleep apnea
increases the chances of stroke,
heart attack, and high blood
pressure. A few studies have

also found an association
between snoring and higher
rates of cardio-vascular risk fac-
tors including high-blood pres-
sure.
"The important thing is to
do a take home sleep study to
find out if you have sleep apnea
in addition to just snoring”,
says Kassir.
When Is Surgery
Recommended?
Doctor Kassir recom-
mends surgery when anatomi-
cal problems are causing exces-
sive snoring.
The Nose
For example, some people
have a deviated septum, which
is when the thin wall that sep-
arates the right and left side of
your nose is displaced to one
side. When a deviated septum
is severe, it can block one side
of your nose and reduce airflow.
ENTs also perform surger-
ies on people who have over-
sized "turbinates," or bumps on
the inside the nose.
"These bumps or shelves
help warm and clean the air"
says Kassir, "but if they're big or
become enlarged they can

crowd the nasal cavity."
The surgery shaves the
bone in the nose down to a
normal size. After the surgery,
the reduced turbinate ridges
open up space so air can move
through unobstructed.
The Mouth And Throat
The New Pillar Procedure
involves the placement of three
tiny woven implants, which are
inserted into the patient's soft
palate, causing the palate to
stiffen. The stiffened palate
helps to reduce or prevent
blockages of the airway - effec-
tively treating sleep apnea and
substantially reducing the
severity of snoring in most indi-
viduals.

ride-on-toys offer many addi-
tional benefits, such as devel-
oping a sense of balance and
coordination, and make a big
contribution to a child's over-
all physical fitness. This year,
take a look at the PlasmaCar
by Plasmart Inc. It's a
mechanical marvel that can
be driven on any flat surface,
indoors and outdoors, and is
powered solely by kid-power.
This attractive vehicle is a
fun way for kids to ride
around the neighborhood,
keep their bodies fit, and have
fun at the same time. It
requires no batteries or fuel,
just the occasional cookie or
two for the driver.
What makes a good
outdoor gift?
Outdoor toys need to be
well made. Not only do they
need to stand-up to rough and
tumble kid treatment, they
need to be able to survive all
types of weather. Outdoor
toys should also have rounded
corners to help prevent
scrapes and cuts that go hand-
in-hand with outdoor fun.
Makers of the PlasmaCar say
it's highly durable and can
handle a load of up to 100 kg
(220 lbs) on a smooth, flat
surface, and 55 kg (120 lbs)
on a rough, flat surface. Not
only will it handle the daily
abuse at the hands of your
children, it's so durable that
parents can have fun riding it,
too. The colour is highly
appealing to kids -- and with
its rounded curves, seat and
steering wheel, this design
will help reduce summer
bumps and bruises.

Building a house? With Geothermal, I hope!
I
f I could tell you how to
build a home with practi-
cally no more money than
a conventional heating and
cooling system, and you’d
have no heating or cooling
bills, would you do it? If I
could then tell you how to
eliminate your electric bills
also and end up with a “net
zero” home, would you do it?
I would hope so, because
this is all possible now, and
you really don’t have any out
of pocket costs because it’s
part of the cost of the house.
A Geothermal Heating
and Cooling system works off
the constant 54o temperature
of the earth. With heat
pumps that take heat out of
the house in the summer and
bring it into the house in the
winter, you have an air distri-

bution system that is the most
comfortable of any heating or
cooling system there is. If dry
heat bothers you with asthma,
bronchitis or allergies, geot-
hermal will reduce those
symptoms and you’ll be much
more comfortable.
So here’s how it can
work. Contracting for a geot-
hermal system with Solar &
More will give you the oppor-
tunity to save 30% on your
system and your home’s insu-
lation and ductwork. How do
we do this? We design and
include the home’s air han-
dling and ductwork into the
Geothermal system. We then
provide the spray-in foam
insulation as part of the
Geothermal system also. This
does two things; it increases
the insulation from the
home’s “envelope” (the insu-
lated living area of the house)
and reduces the size of the
Geothermal system because of
this extra insulation. Spray in
insulation is much more effi-
cient than standard mat insu-
lations provided with most
homes.
What’s all this mean?
Basically, you get a 70% of your domestic hot
Geothermal system for the
same amount as a traditional
heating and cooling system.
And, you get a much tighter

ired of looking older than you feel? Fed
up with creams and "goops" that don't
work? Now there's new help for sagging
faces. Imagine looking in the mirror and see-
ing yourself 10 or 15 years younger. That's
what a facelift or K-lift(TM) can do for you.
And it's not just for movie stars or models any-
more. New procedures and techniques make
facelifts more affordable and virtually unde-
tectable for the "rest of us".

And get all the information you can. The best
way to start is to get a free report entitled "The
Secrets of Ageless Skin," a detailed account of
procedures that rejuvenate the face. You'll
enjoy reading about Dr. Kassir's patients and
how much cosmetic procedures did for them.
You'll also find out if the nonsurgical K-lift(TM)
or some form of facelift is right for you. For a
free copy of this informative report, call
