How should I
prepare for retirement?
The
three major elements of your retirement portfolio are benefits from pensions,
savings and investments, and Social Security benefits.

When
should I retire? Generally, you should apply for retirement benefits three
months before you want your benefits to begin. Even if you don't plan to receive
benefits right away, you still should sign-up for Medicare three months before
you reach age 65.
 If
you were born before 1938 and you meet all other requirements, you can receive
benefits beginning with the first full month you are age 62. However, if you choose
to begin receiving benefits before age 65, your benefits will be reduced to account
for the longer period over which you'll be paid.
If
you were born after 1937, you also could have started your Social Security benefits
as early as age 62, but your full retirement age is more than 65. To find out
what your full retirement age is, use our Retirement Age Chart at http://www.socialsecurity.gov/retire2/agereduction.htm.
If you decide to wait until you reach full retirement age, you still should file
for Medicare three months before your 65th birthday. Choosing
the month you start to get benefits is an important decision. If you plan to retire
anytime in the next 12 months, make an appointment now to talk with a Social Security
representative. Our representatives will be glad to discuss it with you and answer
any questions you may have. Or review your retirement options online.
How
do I apply for retirement benefits? You can apply for retirement benefits
online, but not for Medicare. To apply for retirement benefits, just connect to
the Internet Retirement Insurance Benefits application and follow the instructions.
To apply for Medicare, call or visit your local Social Security office.
Or
you can make an appointment for your application to be taken over the telephone
or in person at a convenient Social Security office.
What
should I remember to do after I retire? Remember to tell us whenever there's
any change in your life circumstance that affects your benefits. For example,
we should be notified if you:
Move
Marry or divorce
Change your name
Learn your estimated earnings will change
Change your Direct Deposit accounts
Adopt a child
Are no longer caring for a child who receives benefits
Are
a non-citizen and your status changes
Start getting a pension from work not
covered by Social Security
Get both Social Security and Railroad Retirement
benefits
Leave the United States for more than 30 days
Become unable to
manage your funds
Are convicted of a criminal offense
Die.

Publishers.com
Are
you an author looking to publish your masterpiece? BookPublishers.com could connect
talented writers like you with willing book publishers. For many talented authors,
the most difficult obstacle isn’t writer’s block—it’s finding
a receptive publisher to publish their books. Because publishers have to sift
through so many works, they may dismiss some unfairly, or be so short-staffed
that they don’t have the time to give each manuscript its fair consideration.

For those who decide
that finding a publisher isn’t the right choice for them, self-publishing
can be a great alternative. With self-publishing a writer can maintain editorial
control, as well as keep all proceeds from the book sales. Whatever your preference,
BookPublishers.com wants to help you on your journey to become a published author!

Six
Steps to Healthy Living

Eat
Foods Low In Saturated Fats and Cholesterol
Maintain Proper
Weight
Have Regular Medical Checkups
Don’t
Smoke or Use Other Tobacco Products
Have
Your Blood Pressure Checked Regularly
Eating
Healthy for your Health
A healthy diet is one of the most important ways
you can maintain an active lifestyle and protect against health problems. Healthy
eating increases energy, improves the way your body functions, strengthens your
immune system and thwarts weight gain.
 A
healthy diet helps you:
Meet
your nutritional needs. A varied, balanced diet provides the nutrients you need
to avoid nutritional deficiencies. Non-nutrients, such as fiber, are also necessary
to a healthy diet.
Prevent and treat certain diseases. Healthful eating can
prevent the risk of developing certain diseases such as cancer and heart disease.
It is also helpful in treating diabetes and high blood pressure. Following a special
diet can reduce symptoms, and may help you better manage an illness or condition.
Enjoy life. Food is the mainstay of many social and cultural events. Not only
does it provide nutrition, it helps facilitate connections between people. Cooking
fresh, healthy meals can also be an enjoyable way to spend time, either on your
own or with others.
Feel energetic and manage your weight. A healthy diet
can help you feel better, provide you with more energy, and help you fight stress.
Retiring
in Saranac Lake, New York.
Voted
#1 Small Town In New York State
Saranac Lake is ranked the #1 small town in New York State.
Before Saranac Lake was incorporated as a village in 1892, it was already famous
for its natural beauty and the experienced guides who took visitors on fishing
and hunting trips in this part of the Adirondack Park.
The fact that the Saranac Lake of today is a vibrant, desirable community has
not gone unnoticed on a national level. In 1995, Saranac Lake was ranked #1 out
of all the small towns in New York State and 11th in the entire United States
in the book, The 100 Best Small Towns in America by Norman Crampton. The author
cited Saranac Lake's investments in education, healthcare and community spirit.
In 1998 the National Civic League bestowed All-America City status on Saranac
Lake. Click here to view hundreds
of homes in Saranac Lake & the Adirondacks!  The
August 1996 issue of Men's Journal listed Saranac Lake as one of "America's
25 Coolest Mountain Towns." The article listed Saranac lake as a paradise
for both hiker and canoeist.
One of the high points of the year in Saranac
Lake is the Winter Carnival held the first week in February. The Ice Palace,
the center of this event, is built a one-mile walk away from Saranac Village at
Will Rogers. The palace is constructed from blocks cut from frozen Lake Flower.
The Winter Carnival Celebrations even include a parade. 
In the summer
the Village of Saranac Lake offers free concerts in the park.  North
Country Community College located in Saranac Lake and Paul Smith's College just
outside of the village offer community members the opportunity to take advantage
of life long learning opportunities.
