Make sure to Take Time for Yourself!

The mighty Ohio river!

Running across it and “run touching” Indiana from Louisville was cool, and emotional. Rivers and water bodies make me emotional especially free flowing water; maybe something to do with my water sign.

KY is the 30th state in the US I’ve stayed in for at least a night, but mostly 2+ nights starting with NY, NJ, CT, MA, ME, VT, NH, RI, DE, MD, PA, VA, WV, IL, NC, SC, GA, FL, LA, OH, TX, IN, MO, CO, HI, NV, AZ, CA, WA, KY.

Have stayed 5 days - 2 weeks each in Italy, Switzerland, Mexico, Canada, France, England, Spain, Bermuda, Fiji and obviously India and the US home.

Have called NY, NJ, MA, NC home over the 30 years in the US.

Visited 3 provinces in Canada, and a couple in Mexico.

Each visit has been enlightening from a history, culture, and ways of the people standpoints and also have had so much fun and excitement!

Recently visited India with my wife and son; their first visit to India. We met 50 of my closest family, and toured 6 cities and towns. So grateful they got to meet a smattering of people I had the privilege of growing up with.

Massively grateful for so very much; words don’t begin to capture it.

Not bragging (although am sure there’s a tinge of that involved), but this is to encourage everyone to have fun, enjoy life, embrace different cultures and soak up getting to know and appreciate how rich this Earth is.

Don’t work so much and be so dedicated to it that you don’t also make time to rejuvenate yourself or have some plain old fun 🙂

Travel may not be your thing. Do your thing. Live and LOVE YOUR life; whatever your focus!

The Hidden Advantage: What You Need to Know About Long-Term Care Partnership Policies

As the cost of long-term care continues to rise, more families are asking: How can we protect both our health and our hard-earned savings? One option that often flies under the radar—but offers significant protection—is a Long-Term Care Insurance Partnership Policy . What Is a Partnership Policy? A Long-Term Care Partnership Policy is a special type of long-term care insurance that allows you to protect more of your assets if you ever need to apply for Medicaid. These policies are designed through a collaboration between private insurance companies and state Medicaid programs to encourage personal responsibility and reduce dependence on public funding. How Does It Work? With a standard LTC insurance policy, you must "spend down" most of your assets before qualifying for Medicaid. But with a Partnership Policy , you can keep an amount of assets equal to the benefits your policy paid out —and still qualify for Medicaid if needed. Example: If your policy pays out $200,0...

The Myth: Employees Leave Because of Work Conditions Most organizations assume dissatisfaction starts at work. But what managers actually see are different signals: Focus slipping without a clear cause Irritability or withdrawal Missed deadlines from previously reliable performers Sudden drops in confidence or motivation “I just need a change” with no specific complaint These aren’t always signs of a bad job. They’re often signs of life becoming unmanageable . Financial stress. Caregiving pressure. Health concerns. Major transitions. Decision fatigue. When personal chaos goes unaddressed, work becomes the easiest place to feel the pain. Unmanaged personal stress doesn’t stay neatly outside the office and employees don’t usually leave because they want less responsibility . They leave because they want relief . And when no one helps them connect the dots early - between what they’re experiencing and the support available - leaving feels like the only option. ...

IBD, ROBS, 1031 Exchange - money tools. I used Investors Business Daily (IBD) strategies to quadruple my money in 2009 as the market was coming back up after the terrible 2007 real estate driven crash. Wasn't confident enough in what I had learnt; so had only invested $10K. Looking back, should have done better. Started my business in 2014 using that money and funds from my 401K using a ROBS (Roll Over for Business Startup) transaction. Had never heard of it; but its a legitimate IRS approved transaction (always use a professional company though to make sure its done by the books - I used Guidant). I exited the ROBS transaction last year to get back full control over my business. Its basically the same transaction done in reverse. Not to be handled by anyone except a professional organization following specific rules involving appropriate Attorneys. A few years back I did a 1031 exchange of a rental property to buy a similar property in my home state. Great way to defer capital gai...
