My company went live with our new Lifestyle Coach website this week. It's been 20 years in the making. “Twenty years to launch a website?” you might ask. No, a few months to launch the website, twenty years to have a level of mastery in what's being taught at LifestyleCoach.com, so we can save you up to 20 years or more. As the founder and head coach, I am launching Lifestyle Coach—Live a Better Life! —ahead of 2022 because there is a big trend. People are upgrading their lifestyles to perform better, achieve their ambitious life career, business, and creative goals, and have a better quality of life, especially after a ridiculously challenging two years.

One big challenge we all face as sales leaders is that we may have people on our team who aren’t on the same page as we are. Very often, we as the leader, are speaking one language; but the salesperson who is taking part in a conversation with us is speaking a very different language. We may not even realize that’s what is happening!

There are times that married people are on a journey together, and then they find they no longer wish to be on the journey together, ultimately choosing to divorce. Consider the Long-Term Care Implications of Divorce When a person is living alone, in the event they become either physically or mentally ill, they are faced with the question of how they are going to get the care they need. Without a spouse or domestic partner, there’s no one “built in” to help care for them. I advise my clients – especially those considering divorce in later years – to consider this carefully and to look at how this will affect their financial security.

For many couples who marry later in life, it makes sense to very carefully separate the assets each had before the marriage (each keeping those as their own) while also providing a way for them to share some assets going forward. With this type of approach, each spouse waves the elective share (see “Graying Marriage and Divorce – Part 2: Creating a Prenuptial Agreement” for a discussion of the concept of “elective share”) in an arrangement I sometimes call: Yours is yours. Mine is mine. Ours is ours. By Deirdre R. Wheatley-Liss, LL.M, CELA, Porzio Bromberg & Newman P.C.
Medicaid is governed by federal law. Marriage and divorce are governed by state law. When a married individual seeks to qualify for Medicaid in New Jersey, the couple’s house is an exempt asset. The person looking to qualify for Medicaid cannot have more than $2,000 of assets. The spouse cannot have more than approximately $125,000 in assets. In New Jersey, retirement plans are not excluded from that calculation. You can be forced to spend down your entire retirement security to get down to that magic $125,000 number. I am often asked if one can get around these limitations by transferring assets – between spouses or to children or others. Under Medicaid rules, you can’t qualify for Medicaid if you have given away any money within five years of applying for it. By Deirdre R. Wheatley-Liss, LL.M, CELA, Porzio Bromberg & Newman P.C.
In a previous post in this series, I said an individual, legally, cannot leave their spouse disinherited (except with the spouse’s uncoerced consent). In addition, a spouse has a duty to provide care and to pay for that care. If you are married to someone and that person becomes ill – and even if you have the world’s most robust and thorough prenuptial agreement, and you have kept your premarital assets separate from your marital assets – in New Jersey, you have an obligation to support your spouse. This obligation includes paying for any health care or long-term care that they may need. By Carmen Andrade, Principal, Porzio Bromberg & Newman P.C.

What Are You Living For? In other words, what are you up to in this life, and are you clear on how you need to live to achieve that? That question reflects what matters to you, what you value, and where you’re going. Answer the question, what you are you living for? and you will almost immediately be able to determine, why your life and style of living it is the way it is, the level you are playing at and so much more.

 MINI-GUIDE. Whether you are a business owner, executive/human resources professional, or other, give yourself 10 minutes to sit back and read this. It will make your company a magnet for employees, including you, who want to thrive. Then act on it.
by John Allen Mollenhauer “JAM”, Performance Lifestyle Coach The employees coming back to the worksite post-Pandemic are not the same ones who left in March of 2020. Like most of us, our priorities changed because of the Pandemic. Before the Pandemic, most of us we worked from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, daily, with travel added on to and from location-based businesses. This left us with little time for self-care, our families, and other life interests, at least during the work week. During the Pandemic, while working from home, and not having to travel to work, we began to have time for such “luxuries,” which are downright essential to wellbeing. We realized that we could have it all so to speak -- get our work done and see our families! |
