    May Day is an ancient

    festival that wel-

    comes spring and

    was once celebrated widely on

    May 1 every year. May Dayfalls approximately halfway

    be-tween the spring equinox

    and the summer solstice and

    has its origins in pre-Christian

    times. May Day commemo-

    rates festivals of fertility and

    agriculture. Ancient Romanscelebrated the festival of

    Flora, the Roman goddess of

    flowers. But May Day is also

    related to the Celtic festival of

    Beltane, a springtime festival

    of optimism, and the

    Germanic festival of Walpur-gis Night, which also cele-

    Ive been thinking a lot

    about this lately. I met the

    most beautiful woman Id

    ever had the pleasure of laying

    my eyes on in 1984, at 23 years

    of age. Her name was Teresa

    Faith, but her friends called her

    Terry. We started working

    together in 1984, which simul-

    taneously led to a romance.

    She accepted my proposal of

    marriage shortly after, making

    it official on June 1, 1986.

    If you think about it for a

    moment, most husbands and

    wives go their separate ways

    each day for at least eight hours

    of the working day. She to her

    job and he to his. When chil-

    dren enter the picture, she usu-

    ally stays home and he usually

    goes to work, so they are still

    separated those eight hours,

    plus commuting time and over-

    time. Weekends might allow

    the spouses some time together,

    unless there is another part-time job for either one of them

    or both. At the very least, the

    kids extracurricular and sport-

    ing activities challenge that

    time as well, leaving them

    apart for the majority of the

    Saturdays and Sundays, for

    nearly two decades. If one of

    them bowls, plays golf religious-

    ly or engages in a club activity,

    that is even more time they

    spend apart. Some married cou-ples spend time apart with

    friends acquired during high

    school or college fraternity or

    sorority; others spend separate

    time pursuing a hobby or

    attending classes for self-

    advancement. All wonderful

    activities and opportunities.

    But not me. No, my course was

    a little different.

    You see, Terry and I have

    been doing everything together

    24 hours a day for 29 years now.

    Ever since we met, weve basi-

    cally spent everyday side-by-

    side. We worked seven days a

    week for the company that

    brought us together for seven

    years. Then we built a businesstogether. Diversified Financial

    Services Group started in 1991

    in Pompton Lakes and moved

    to Wayne 10 years later. In

    2006, that company morphed

    into the first and foremost fran-

    chise in the retirement and

    estate planning industry,

    American Prosperity Group,

    which now spans 10 states with

    18 offices.

    During the same time and I give Terry all of the cred-

    it we grew our family size

    from a hard working dynamic

    couple to a bustling family of

    six! Terry brought Chelsie, our

    first child, to the office every

    day; when she became mobile;

    we expanded our office to

    include a nursery for her and

    her new brother, Zachary, near-

    ly four years later. When Zac

    Anew study in the

    medical journal

    Acta Odontologica

    Scandinvica indicates that

    bleaching with large quantities

    of hydrogen peroxide

    between 35 and 38 percent,

    the strength of in-office

    whitening treatments can

    change the makeup of enamel.

    Dental products have recentlybegun advertising that they

    can help rebuild enamel and

    whiten teeth using remineraliz-

    ing agents. However, these

    agents dont necessarily help

    teeth recoup their enamel after

    whitening procedures.

    Researchers conducted an

    experiment with bovine teeth

    whitened by hydrogen perox-

    ide with strength of 35 to 38

    percent. The makeup of the

    enamel was studied 24 hours

    after treatment, and again aftertwo weeks. Half of the samples

    were then exposed to a rem-

    ineralizing agent.

    Teeth exposed to the rem-

    ineralizing agent showed the

    highest microhardness after 24

    hours. The microhardness

    level, however, was not the

    same after 14 days. Also, the

    structure and makeup for all of

    the samples after 14 days

    showed many abnormalities.The concept of such new

    remineralizing agents being

    added to toothpastes and rinses

    is still controversial.

    Business fraud is every-

    where. It can range

    from employees pilfer-

    ing small items from the

    office to embezzling hun-

    dreds of thousands of dollars.

    And crimes may be commit-

    ted by anyone from the low-

    est-paid clerk to a long-time

    officer. All too often, busi-

    ness owners are oblivious to

    wrongdoings or they simply

    refuse to acknowledge the

    possibilities until its too

    late.

    Dont make the same

    mistakes as countless other

    victims. Here are five practi-

    cal suggestions for thwarting

    workplace fraud.

    1.Keep your eyes wide open.

    View your operation like an

    outsider and identify the

    areas that appear ripe for

    fraud. If a security problem

    persists, dont ignore it and

    simply hope it will vanish.

    Confront the toughest issues

    head-on.

    2.Review and adjust internal

    controls. Accountants often

    pinpoint this area as a main

    culprit. Install a system of

    checks and balances and reg-

    ularly monitor activities.

    Note that employees may be

    deterred from theft if the

    process is well-documented.

    Otherwise, they may think

    they wont be caught.

    3.Develop reporting and

    investigation procedures.

    Encourage your employees to

    come forth about suspicious

    activities, but keep matters

    confidential. When its war-

    ranted, respond promptly

    and decisively. You will also

    discourage fraud by showing

    that actions have conse-

    quences.

    4.Dont become complacent.

    Even if no fraud is detected

    after an initial sweep,

    you must remain vigilant.

    Continue to adhere to the

    procedures youve estab-

    lished. Also, make sure that

    you follow through on any

    unresolved issues to their

    completion.

    5.Rely on your professional

    advisors. For instance, an

    attorneys services may be

    required if you decide to seek

    legal damages, while an

    accountant can help imple-

    ment and update internal

    controls.

    Of course, there are no

    guarantees, but these five

    proactive steps should, at the

    very least, minimize risks to

    your company.

    Receiving the Sacra-

    ment of the Eucharist is

    a momentous event in a

    young Christians life, marking

    one of the first steps he or she

    takes in individual faith forma-

    tion. Children who receive the

    Eucharist are further initiated

    into the church and this enables

    them to receive Communion at

    each and every mass thereafter,

    provided they remain in good

    standing with the church.

    Christian families place

    great significance on the

    Eucharist and most want to

    commemorate the occasion

    with a party. Some people treat

    it as they would a wedding or

    Sweet 16 party, inviting friends

    and extended family members.

    Others prefer to keep the cele-

    bration a bit more intimate.

    Regardless of the size of the

    party, there are some tips to

    make it a memorable affair thats

    fun for everyone.

    Dont start planning until

    you confirm the date of the cer-

    emony. Some churches have

    one date on which they hold

    administer to all candidates at a

    special mass. Others may stagger

    the ceremonies over the course

    of several dates and may inter-

    twine their Eucharist cere-

    monies with the regular mass

    schedule. Either way, parents

    should confirm the date months

    in advance so they have ample

    time to schedule parties and

    shop for appropriate attire.

    Reserve your date quickly.

    Once you know the date of the

    ceremony, do not delay if you

    plan to hold a party at a restau-

    rant or intend to hire a caterer

    for a party at home. Not only

    will you be competing for dateswith other parents whose chil-

    dren will also be receiving the

    sacrament, but also you may be

    going up against those planning

    April or May weddings or grad-

    uation parties. If there is a par-

    ticular restaurant or banquet

    hall you have in mind, reserve

    the date quickly and leave a

    deposit to secure the reserva-

    tion.

    Consider a catered affair.Very often a Communion

    reception takes place shortly

    after the ceremony at church.

    This means guests will go direct-

    ly from the church to the party.

    Catering the party will ensure

    food is ready as your guests

    arrive. This also cuts down on

    the amount of preparatory work

    you will have to do. Restaurants,

    delis, fast-food establishments,

    warehouse centers, and super-

    markets are all viable catering

    options depending on the scale

    of the party. To keep costs down,

    buy frozen, premade foods from

    the grocery store, and then sim-

    ply heat them up for guests.

    Hire entertainment. If

    the party will be a larger affair

    with a number of children in

    attendance, it may pay to hire

    an entertainer like a magician,

    balloon artist or deejay to keep

    everyone entertained and

    occupied. Again, since many

    Communion ceremonies take

    place in the spring when wed-

    ding receptions and gradua-

    tion parties also take place,

    reserve your entertainers early

    on. Remember to give the

    deejay a play list that will

    include music for all ages in

    attendance.

    A young person receiv-

    ing the Sacrament of the

    Eucharist is something worth

    celebrating. Ensure your party

    is a success by planning out

    the details in advance and

    hosting the best party you can

    within your desired budget.

    The days when single

    income households

    were the norm are long

    gone, as nowadays both Mom

    and Dad must work in order to

    make ends meet. That reality

    has left many women juggling

    the obligations of motherhood

    with the obligations of a suc-

    cessful career.

    Such a juggling act is sel-

    dom easy, and many mothers

    find themselves neglecting one

    obligation for the benefit of

    another. The following are a

    few tips to make balancing

    work and family a little easier.

    Share the responsibilities.

    While the days of the single-

    income household may be a

    thing of the past, many of the

    conventions of those days

    remain. Women may still feel

    the responsibility to cook fami-

    ly meals, clean up after the

    children and make it to all of

    their childrens sporting events

    or other school-related events.

    But those responsibilities

    should be shared so women can

    ensure theyre giving both their

    careers and families the atten-

    tion each deserves. Devise a

    schedule where both parents

    tackle such responsibilities

    equally so each parent knows

    when they have some wiggle

    room. For example, if your hus-

    band routinely cooks on

    Tuesdays, then you know you

    wont need to rush home on

    Tuesday night and you might

    be able to stay at the office a lit-

    tle later to work on a project or

    catch up on work. Such sharing

    and scheduling can consider-

    ably reduce the stress of jug-

    gling a family and a career.

    Exercise daily. Juggling a

    family and a career is often

    stressful, and stress can have a

    very adverse effect on your

    health. Women with high

    stress levels are more likely to

    suffer from depression, anxiety

    and cardiovascular disease. But

    the American Psychological

    Association notes the positive

    impact of exercise as a means to

    alleviating stress, citing studies

    that have shown that physical-

    ly active people have lower

    rates of anxiety and depression

    than people who are sedentary.

    Its easy to become irritable

    when stressed, and no mother

    wants to be irritable in the pres-

    ence of her children.

    D

    uring its first few hours

    of life, your kitten

    receives natural imm-

    unity against most diseases

    from its mothers first milk, the

    colostrum. But eventually your

    kittens immune system will

    have to fend for itself.

    Vaccinations provide your kit-

    ten good protection against

    some life-threatening diseases.

    Heres an explanation of the

    vaccines you need or may want

    to consider, as recommended

    by your veterinarian.

    1. FVR-C-P. The upper respira-

    tory infection seen in cats is a

    complex clinical disease. FVR-

    C-P protects your cat against

    the two viruses most likely to

    cause an upper respiratory

    infection in your cat feline

    rhinotracheitis (feline herpes

    virus) and feline calicivirus.

    Infections with these viruses

    can cause discharge from the

    nose or eye, respiratory prob-

    lems, mouth sores, anorexia

    and abortion. FVR-C-P also

    protects against panleukope-

    nia feline distemper an

    acute gastrointestinal viral

    infection associated with a

    sudden onset, depression,

    vomiting, diarrhea, dehydra-

    tion and a high mortality rate.

    These vaccines require boost-

    ers two to four weeks apart;

    the last dose is given at 12 to

    16 weeks.

    2. FeLV. Feline leukemia virus

    vaccines are available for

    interested cat owners. This

    vaccine is recommended only

    for those cats with high expo-

    sure potential, such as outdoor

    cats, show cats and those liv-

    ing in multiple-cat households

    (even if all are considered

    indoor-only). Before trying

    out the FeLV vaccine, have

    your cat tested to see if it

    already has the disease. Half of

    all cats who get FeLV will die

    from complications associated

    with the disease. Consult with

    your veterinarian if this vac-

    cine is right for your cat.

    3. FIP. Feline Infectious

    Peritonitis, which is associated

    with anorexia, weight loss,

    growth stunting, gradually

    developing potbelly and fever,

    has a very high mortality rate.

    A vaccine was developed six

    years ago and can be given to

    cats older than 16 weeks of age.

    It requires two doses, three to

    four weeks apart. The effective-

    ness of this vaccine in prevent-

    ing this fatal feline disease is

    still being tested and is debat-

    able; therefore, most veterinar-

    ians do not recommend this

    vaccine at this time.

    4. Rabies. Most of us associate

    rabies with the mad dog froth-

    ing at the mouth, eager to bite

    anything near it. Although this

    is a common presentation in

    countries where there is a very

    high population of unvaccinat-

    ed stray dogs, in the U.S., rabies

    usually appears in wild animals.

    Rabies vaccination is required

    in New Jersey and can be

    administered at greater than 12

    weeks of age in felines. All

    warm-blooded animals

    including you can get rabies.

    The prognosis, unfortunately, is

    fatal.

    Few medical procedures

    are without risk. While trying

    to prevent disease in your cat,

    there is a small chance that

    harm may be done. Veterinar-

    ians have observed a chance of

    developing a vaccine-associat-

    ed sarcoma at a rate of 20 per

    100,000 cats. A veterinary task

    force, the American Veterinary

    Medical Foundation,

    has been assigned to this

    problem and makes the

    following statement on

    its website: Disturbing

    as this issue may be,

    there is great concern

    that cat owners, attempting to

    keep their cats from harm, may

    forgo vaccination entirely. The

    result? Though well inten-

    tioned, these owners may be

    placing cats at far greater risk of

    acquiring a fatal infection than

    any risk the vaccine poses. And

    in the case of rabies, human

    health is at risk as well.

    After your vaccinations,

    ask your veterinarian to

    point out where the injec-

    tions were placed and then

    keep an eye on those sites. If

    you notice a firm, painless

    swelling located near a previ-

    ous vaccination site, contacts

    your veterinarian.

    Your local veterinarian

    can provide more information

    about vaccinations for your

    pet. What is given often

    depends on the risk of specific

    diseases in your geographic

    area, your pets lifestyle and

    state laws.

    Protect your companion

    animals and yourself by paying

    a visit to your local veterinar-

    ian and following the suggest-

    ed vaccination protocol.

    Incorporating exercise into

    your daily routine is a great way

    to alleviate the stress of jug-

    gling a family and a career, and

    you can even incorporate your

    family into your exercise rou-

    tine, going for nightly walks

    after dinner or playing with

    your children in the yard.

    Stay involved with your

    childs school. Many mothers

    find staying active with their

    childrens school is a great

    opportunity for them to bond

    with their kids and keep abreast

    of developments at their

    school. Such involvement can

    be minimal, such as attending a

    monthly luncheon with kids or

    agreeing to be a chaperone on

    one or two class trips per year.

    Such events are typically

    scheduled months in advance,

    so you should have ample time

    to arrange a break from the

    office without neglecting your

    professional responsibilities.

    Take advantage of work-

    from-home policies. As tech-

    nology has advanced, many

    companies have become much

    more lenient with regard to

    employees working from home.

    If your company allows you to

    work from home, even if its

    only once per week, then take

    advantage of that offer. This

    can provide more time with

    your kids, it will likely save you

    money on childcare, and you

    are certain to appreciate the

    opportunity to skip your daily

    commute, even if it is only

    once a week or a couple of

    times per month.

    Plan ahead. Looking

    ahead is another way to make

    juggling a family and a career

    easier. Plan meals in advance to

    cut down on preparation time

    when its your night to cook.

    This can involve placing foods

    in a slow cooker in the morning

    or preparing part of the meal in

    advance so its ready to go in

    the oven the moment you

    arrive home.

    Another way to plan

    ahead is to look at kids school

    schedules and

    plan trips

    during the

    school year

    when

    school wont

    be in session.

    A three-day

    weekend is a per-

    fect opportunity to

    plan a getaway to a nearby

    locale where the whole family

    can relax and reconnect with-

    out the pres-

    sures of daily

    life.

    Juggling a

    family and

    career is not

    always easy,

    but there are

    ways that todays

    mothers can raise a

    happy family and still have a

    successful career.

    H

    ave you ever won-

    dered why many of

    the most beautiful

    plants we see in New Jersey

    only last a few weeks out of

    the year? Why is it that cer-

    tain garden vegetables are

    only in season for a specific

    part of the year? The reason

    is that these plants are

    annuals.

    Strictly speaking, an

    annual plant is one that com-

    pletes its growing cycle in the

    course of a single growing

    season. The plant grows from

    a seed, blooms and produces

    seed all within one season. In

    other words, annuals pack a

    lot of living into a short span

    of time! Some annual plant

    life cycles may occur in as lit-

    tle as one month, while some

    species last through several

    months.

    With spring in full

    swing, its time to begin

    thinking about annual plant-

    ing. Take advantage of this

    time to grow an edible gar-

    den! A large variety of food

    plants are either annual

    plants or grown in season,

    Spring has sprung for

    most areas of the coun-

    try and the average

    homeowners to-do list likely

    has its share of outdoor land-

    scaping tasks that need to be

    tackled. The right tools can

    make easier work of outdoor

    chores.

    A report from the

    Associated Landscape Con-

    tractors of America titled

    Economic Benefits of

    Landscape states that land-

    scaping can add as much as 14

    percent to the resale value of a

    building and speed its sale by as

    much as 6 weeks. Homeowners

    looking to sell their home or

    just improve its market value

    will want to consider landscap-

    ing a viable investment. A

    March 2003 article in Smart

    Money noted that homeown-

    ers can expect to earn back 150

    percent or more of their land-

    scape investment through the

    value it brings to a property.

    Whatever the landscap-

    ing project, the right tools will

    make any task that much easi-

    er. There are certain items

    every homeowner should have

    in his or her gardening arsenal.

    Soil cultivator: A multi-

    pronged tool that breaks up

    clods of soil and grass to pro-

    vide easier planting.

    Various garden hoes: Hoes

    can be used for breaking up

    soil, weeding, cultivating,

    aerating, and many other

    purposes.

    Spading fork: Another tool

    that loosens soil with straight

    tines that dig through dense

    soil.

    Shovel: A multipurpose

    shovel can dig through dirt,

    gravel and the like.

    Rake: A steel-pronged rake

    will till soil and spread out

    mulch and other organic mat-

    ter in planting beds. A flexible

    rake is good for collecting

    leaves and thatch.

    Edger: Available as manual or

    gas powered, an edger gives

    planting beds and the edges of

    lawns a clean look.

    String trimmer: Weeds can

    easily be trimmed with a string

    trimmer that can work around

    bushes and other hard-to-reach

    areas.

    Gloves: Avoid blisters and

    insect bites with durable gloves

    that protect the hands.

    Lawn mower: To maintain a

    healthy lawn it will have to be

    trimmed to the correct height.

    A manual or powered lawn

    mower is the essential land-

    scapers tool.

    Collection bags/bins: To

    properly dispose of organic

    matter like leaves and branch-

    es, it pays to have recyclable or

    reusable bags on hand for

    transporting waste.

    Hoses: Drip irrigation hoses

    can deliver water right to

    plants roots where they need it

    most. A regular nozzle-pow-

    ered hose can be used for

    cleaning and misting plants

    and surrounding hardscapes.

    Compost bin: Black gold is

    the ideal landscaping supple-

    ment. By creating compost

    from discarded food, a home-

    watch sporadically. Some may

    wonder how reality TV affects

    the perceptions of young

    women. According to a survey

    conducted by the Girl Scout

    Research Institute, girls who

    routinely view reality TV are

    more focused on physicalappearance, and more than

    one-third think that a girls

    value is based on how she

    looks. The study also pointed

    out that girls views on reality

    show behavior tends to pit girls

    against one another to make

    the show seem more exciting.

    The re-search is not all nega-

    tive, however. Some survey

    respondents said reality TV

    made them feel more empow-ered and that they can achieve

    anything in life. Others said

    the shows highlighted the

    plights of teenagers and young

    women, helping young women

    realize there are other young

    women in situations similar to

    their own.

    ornamental fountains and

    pond supplies. Gro-Rites

    landscaping division offers a

    vast selection of trees and

    evergreens to help residents

    build their landscapes.

    Theres even a full-service

    floral department with on-

    staff designers to assist withbridal, corporate events and

    special occasions. In an effort

    to provide a full-service

    experience, upon completion

    of a landscape job, Gro-Rite

    clients receive a floral

    arrangement from the floral

    department.

    Ken Vande Vrede is

    president and son of founders

    Dave and Gerda. Providing

    the best-possible customerexperience is a key differen-

    tiator at Gro-Rite, he said.

    Customers repeatedly return

    for the level of knowledge

    and personal attention our

    staff members provide.

    What truly sets Gro-

    Rite apart from other nurs-

    eries is a commitment to

    innovation and new technol-

    ogy. Gro-Rite has adopted

    state-of-the-art hydroponic

    technology, which allows

    large quantities of lettuces,

    herbs and vegetables to grow

    in a clean, sustainable, bacte-

    ria-free environment. Theyutilize a natural growing

    environment for pesticide-

    free herbs and vegetables,

    and are hoping to meet

    USDA organic standards

    soon.

    Gro-Rites vision is pro-

    viding customers with locally

    grown, preservative-free

    foods and using hydroponic

    technology will also allow

    them to do that.Hydroponics is a soil-less

    method of growing plants

    that uses a combination of

    mineral nutrient solutions

    and water. Contrary to popu-

    lar belief, soil is not essential

    to the growth of plants, but is

    merely a holding area for

    necessary mineral nutrients

    that, when dissolved in

    water, are absorbed by plant

    roots.

    Through the use of less

    water and space to produce

    herbs and greens, hydroponic

    farming is a 100 percent nat-

    ural and sustainable growingmethod that dramatically

    reduces our carbon footprint.

    Through hydroponic

    farming, Gro-Rite will be the

    only greenhouse in 2013 that

    provides year-round, pick-

    your-own locally grown pro-

    duce.

    For nearly four decades,

    the Vande Vrede family has

    owned and operated Gro-Rite

    Greenhouse and GardenCenter at 30 Hillview Road in

    Lincoln Park. Gro-Rite is

    opened 9am5pm Monday

    through Saturday. For more

    grew a little lonely, Jack Benny

    was born in 1998 and we added

    an addition to our newly

    acquired home so I could bring

    the office into the house to

    continue working with my wife

    and life partner every day. Two

    years later, Jack wanted a little

    brother to play with, and

    Sammy showed up to be his lit-tle buddy!

    Terry and I continued to

    work together every day, help-

    ing the community with their

    retirement and estate-planning

    needs. We are proud that we

    have been able to build our

    family and family business

    simultaneously over these past

    29 years. I did the marriage cal-

    culation to determine that

    based on the comparison towhat Ill call normally mar-

    ried couples if you count up

    all of the hours we have spent

    together everyday, we have

    been married about four times

    longer than other couples of

    the same vintage. 29 years

    together, multiplied by four,

    equals 116 years. So there you

    have it folks, Ive been married

    to the sexiest and most remark-

    able woman in the world for

    116 years! She has let me pur-

    sue my goals, dreams and ambi-

    tions, and not only stood by myside with constant and never-

    ending support, but was an

    active participant in all of them

    with great expense to her indi-

    vidual goals and dreams, as

    well. I am convinced that the

    greatest force in business is a

    husband and wife working

    together side-by-side with a

    common goal and objective.

    They are powerful enough to

    overcome a major recession,the worst stock market crashes

    in the nations history and the

    worst real estate market

    decline. Though President

    Obama recently stated that we

    didnt build our businesses our-

    selves, I beg to differ! Not only

    did we build it ourselves, but we

    built it with American values,

    American pride and American

    ingenuity.

    Im not afraid to say I

    love my wife and I would be

    here neither financially nor

    physically if she were not by myside every day especially

    when I underwent heart-bypass

    surgery and suffered 10 strokes

    and other complications,

    resulting in a 43-day hospital

    stay.

    Yes, there was a two-week

    period of time when we were

    not together every day. I con-

    tracted an infection during my

    hospital stay and she, being by

    my side for 19 days straight,caught the same infection,

    resulting in hospitalization for

    the next 14 days in a separate

    Question: Why doesone need life insur-ance and when is

    best to invest in it?

    Answer: Life insurance is a

    vehicle that will aid in ensuringthat loved ones left behind in

    the event of an untimely death

    are able to continue their

    financial lives and also takes

    care of final expenses for the

    dearly departed.

    Of all the insurance

    products that are offered by

    the multitude of insurance

    companies in this country, life

    insurance is the only product

    that is not speculative. Auto,homeowners, motorcycle,

    business, flood and some other

    types of insurance are all in

    place just in case something

    happens. Life insurance is the

    only one that has a guarantee,

    as there is one guarantee from

    the day we are born. A whole

    life policy is assurance that

    expenses and loved ones will

    be left financially whole.

    As there are also termpolicies that offer more afford-

    able premiums, these policies

    can be converted to whole life

    at a later date, prior to policy

    expiration, in case it appears

    the owner will out-live a term.

    It can be converted without

    new medical exams or under-

    writing. The whole policy

    would simply be rated at the

    current rate at the time of

    conversion.The best time to invest in

    a whole life policy is in your

    younger years, simply due to

    the minimal risk youthfulness

    presents. Term policies are best

    for those who arent yet able to

    afford whole life premiums,

    new homeowners for the term

    of the mortgage, and other debt

    that may have a 10-year range

    to be paid off, like wedding

    expenses.The protection for the

    legacy you build is but a con-

    tact point away. Reach out to

    E. Andre
