There’s just no way to put into words how grateful I am to have had Mike Dahl to help me sell my house. I live out of state but Mike made it feel like we were both in the same room throughout the entire process.

He listed my home and by the end of the day we had a deal in place. Mike really worked hard to get my home sold fast, without compromising the value of my home. Mike really listened to all of my concerns and needs.

The best part was this was not just a sale to Mike. He would always ask about my family and made me feel it was a get together with a friend rather than a business deal. Mike absolutely knows his business and I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you so much for all you did for me and my family!

8 The Brighton Buzz | January 2024

here’s no denying that 2023 was a tough year for real estate. As the year ended and the Fed announced likely decreases in mortgage rates in the new year, the sighs of relief were almost palpable—especially for anyone who has been waiting for that news with the intention to buy as soon as the rates fall. But there’s another way to look at this news, and waiting for that rate drop may not garner the results you were hoping for or be your best strategy.

We’ve all seen what happens when demand exceeds supply…price spikes and bidding wars with homes going fast, furious, and well over asking price, potentially wiping out any possible savings from the lower mortgage rate.

So yes, while lower mortgage rates will most assuredly encourage more homeowners to list their homes, you will also have even more competition for available properties from buyers who can qualify for mortgages, and larger loans and have also been waiting for the rate drop before jumping in.

A few things to think about as you strategize for the year ahead…If you can qualify now, before rates drop, you can always refinance once rates drop at least a percent. Perhaps you go with a smaller home than you ultimately want with the plan to use it as a steppingstone to your dream home. Or maybe your best strategy is taking these next six to twelve months to really hunker down and save to increase your down payment and potentially increase your income and buying power. Everyone’s situation is different. Working with an experienced REALTOR® is the best way to make sure you are putting together the best housing market strategy for your situation.

For proven expertise in establishing your home value and/or searching for a new or existing home, please call Jan at (303) 520-4340.

A Person With A Purpose Never Despairs Offered by: Colorado Karate Club

V

iktor Frankl was a renowned Austrian psychologist who survived three horrendous years in four concentration camps during the Holocaust. As he recounts the most dehumanizing conditions of the camps, the back-breaking work, and harsh treatment from the guards, Frankl began to notice that there was something different about those who survived. They had a sense of purpose.

Frankl, along with others, began to encourage others not to lose hope. He also began to write his memoir and developed a new kind of therapy. In his mind he would construct a future where he would publish his book, reunite with his wife, and many other things that gave him a purpose to keep on living.

Although his wife had died at a nearby concentration camp in 1944, he was liberated a year later, and shortly after did publish his book titled “Man’s Search for Meaning” in which he explores how a person can find fulfillment and meaning, even under the most horrific circumstances.

The book has been a bestseller in multiple languages since 1946.

In a TV interview Frankl was asked, why does he think people despair? He answered that despair can be explained in a mathematical way as the equation: D=S-M, Despair is equal to Suffering without Meaning. A person who has found meaning in their life, even while suffering, can turn a predicament into a triumph. A person with a purpose never despairs.

While we hope never to experience the horrors that Mr. Frankl went through, we can hope that through his experience and that of many others, we can find the courage to look beyond our immediate problems and find meaning and purpose in our daily activities, even if they may seem menial at the time.

12 The Brighton Buzz | January 2024

As we begin a new year, we may do well to stop for a few minutes and reflect as to what gives meaning to our lives. Through the ups and downs of the previous years, and the challenges and triumphs of those to come. What is it that keeps us going? What keeps you going? Once we know, we can start this new year with renewed energy, revitalized, and with a concrete hope for a better future.

A Fresh Start: Crafting Achievable Goals for 2024 Offered by: Brighton Clinic of Chiropractic

As

we step into the promising dawn of January 2024, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the past year and set new goals that propel us toward growth and fulfillment.

Whether you’re aiming for personal development, career success, or improved well-being, here are some steps to guide you in making meaningful resolutions for the coming year.

1. Reflect on the Past Year: Take a moment to assess the achievements and challenges of the past year. What worked well? What would you like to improve? Reflecting on your experiences provides valuable insights that can shape your goals for the future.

2. Set SMART Goals: Make your goals Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Timely (SMART). For instance, instead of a vague goal like “exercise more,” aim for 30 minutes of physical activity five times a week.” This specificity makes your goals clearer and easier to track.

3. Prioritize Your Goals: Identify the most important goals that align with your values and aspirations. Prioritizing helps you focus your energy on what truly matters and increases the likelihood of success.

4. Break it Down: Large goals can be overwhelming. Break them into smaller, manageable tasks. This not only makes the journey less daunting but also provides a clear roadmap, making it easier to track your progress.

5. Create a Plan: Develop a step-by-step plan to achieve your goals. Outline the actions you need to take, and consider potential obstacles. Having a well-thought-out plan increases your chances of staying on course and overcoming challenges.

6. Seek Accountability: Share your goals with a friend, family member, or colleague who can offer support and hold you accountable. Accountability fosters commitment and provides and external perspective on your progress.

7. Celebrate Milestones: Acknowledge and celebrate the small victories along the way. Recognizing your achievements, no matter how modest, reinforces positive behavior and motivates you to continue working towards your larger goals.

Embark on this new year with enthusiasm and determination. By setting thoughtful and achievable goals, you pave the way for a year filled with personal growth and accomplishments. May 2024 be a year of success, resilience, and fulfillment for our vibrant community! Call us when you are ready for help with your health 303-993-6092.

N

ow that we’ve reached 2024, you might be thinking about your goals and hopes for the new year. But in addition to whatever personal resolutions you might make — volunteering, going to the gym more, learning a new language and others — why not make some financial resolutions, too?

Here are a few to consider: • Boost your retirement savings. If you can afford it, try to increase your contributions to your IRA and 401(k) or similar employer-sponsored retirement plan. The more you put away in these accounts, the greater your chances of reaching your retirement goals. At a minimum, contribute enough to your 401(k) to earn your employer’s match, if one is offered.

And whenever your salary goes up, consider raising the amount you put in to your 401(k).

• Reduce your debts. It’s not always easy to reduce your debts — but it’s worth the effort. The lower your debt load, the greater your monthly cash flow. So, look for ways to consolidate debts or find other, possibly more productive, ways of using credit. And if you truly can’t afford something that’s nonessential, don’t go into debt for it. “Live within your means” is an old piece of advice, but it’s just as valid now as ever.

• Build an emergency fund. If you suddenly needed a major home or car repair, or received a large medical bill not fully covered by insurance, would you have the funds available? If not, you might be forced to dip into your retirement accounts or other long-term investments. To avoid this possibility, try to build an emergency fund containing several months’ worth of living expenses, with the money kept in a liquid, low-risk account that’s separate from the ones you use to meet your daily expenses. It can take a while to build such a fund, but if you make it a priority and contribute regular amounts each month, you can make good progress.

• Avoid emotional decisions. Too many people overreact to events in the financial markets because they let their emotions get the better of them. If the market is temporarily down, it doesn’t mean you need to sell investments to “cut your losses” — especially if these investments still have good fundamentals and are still appropriate for your portfolio. It can be hard to ignore market volatility, but you’ll be better off if you focus on the long term and continue following an investment strategy that’s designed to meet your needs.

• Review your goals. Over time, your goals may have changed. For example, while you once might have wanted to retire early, and planned for it, you may now find that you’d like to work a few more years. If that’s the case, you may also need to adjust your financial and investment strategies.

• Revisit your estate plans. If you’ve married, divorced, remarried or added children to your family within the past few years, you may need to review the account titling and beneficiary designations on your 401(k) and other retirement assets, along with your estate-planning documents, such as your will or living trust. You might also need to revise these documents in other ways.

Of course, you may not be able to tackle all these resolutions at one time, but if you can work at them throughout the year, you can potentially brighten your financial outlook in 2024 — and beyond.

Things You Should Know Offered by: John Wilson, B.S., BC-HIS - Blue Ribbon Hearing & Tinnitus Center

As

we begin a new year, I want to remind our readers of some important things. First, ear wax is normal and natural and not necessarily a sign of poor hygiene. For most people, wax simply needs to be wiped out of the bowl of the ear as it naturally works its way out of the ear canal. A cloth or even a Q-tip can be used to wipe it out of the bowl, but the Q-tip should not be inserted into the canal. For some people, wax does not move out of the canal as it should for reasons including the consistency of the wax, narrowness of ear canal, medications, or the use of ear plugs, hearing aids, or cotton swabs which push the wax deeper into the canal.

If wax does not properly migrate out of the canal it can cause hearing loss.

The problem is commonly exacerbated when wax is impacted or when water gets trapped when swimming or bathing. Use caution with putting ANYTHING (including cleaning solutions, hydrogen peroxide, oils, etc.) without knowing exactly what is actually happening in the ear. A sudden change in hearing with discomfort could be a sign of wax, but it could also be the result of a ruptured eardrum from excessive middle ear pressure. Putting a liquid in the ear canal when there is a hole in the eardrum can lead to bigger problems. A video otoscope can be used to show you exactly what is happening inside of your ear. Avoid sticking foreign objects including bobby pins, car keys, cotton swabs, paper clips, or pen caps into your ear canal.

Second, treating even mild hearing loss can increase mental focus. People spend billions of dollars on their health with much of that spent on trying to have more energy. Most people do not know that when the brain tries to understand, focus, or organize information, it uses energy. When a person cannot see clearly, they often struggle to understand the world around them. Recently, a woman related a story about how she struggles to hear and all of her senses seem dull

when she is not wearing her eye glasses or contacts. As soon as she puts on her glasses, all of her senses improve. This is an example of significant energy being put into trying to see, but being unable to focus. When that happens, less energy is available for the other functions the brain performs.

The same is true with hearing. With even a mild hearing loss, more mental energy is spent to understand and make sense of sounds than with normal hearing. Trying to understand in a noisy environment uses even more energy.

Struggling to hear creates mental and physical fatigue. Simply wearing hearing aids decreases listening effort and listening fatigue, and allows more energy to be available for other mental and physical functions.

Third, long term cognitive and physical health is tied to better hearing. Thanks to increased education and awareness, more and more of the tens of millions of people with hearing loss are getting help sooner than ever before. These individuals report greater satisfaction with hearing devices than for those who wait to get help. Long term outcomes for individuals with hearing loss show that the rate of brain shrinkage related to hearing loss decreases as soon as hearing aids start to be worn on a consistent basis. Yet most people do not treat hearing loss, often waiting until it is too late to achieve optimal results. Untreated hearing loss is the largest preventable factor that contributes to dementia. Treating hearing loss decreases the likelihood of developing dementia.

If you or someone you know struggles with hearing, we would love to help.

Our locally owned and operated small business strives to provide the best service related to helping you hear better, providing everything from custom hearing protection to every style of hearing aid available. The first step of the physical exam is to show you what the inside of your ear canal looks like on the video monitor. We may find that the problem is just wax.

Your CD Is Maturing Soon.

What Should You Do Next?

Consider your options before it automatically renews Presented by T. Lloyd Worth, Worth Wealth Management

If

you have a certificate of deposit (CD) that is maturing soon, it’s time to make a decision. Your CD has been collecting interest for months or years, helping you to get closer to your financial goals. Now you need to decide whether to roll it over to another CD, deposit it into another account, cash it out and spend it – or invest it.

Weigh your options Before you decide what to do, it helps to consider all your options first. Be aware that your bank or credit union may rollover your CD automatically at the end of the term – unless you tell them not to. And, it’s possible their new interest rate could be lower. The bank or credit union is required to notify you in advance before the CD matures, but you should scope out your options in advance. You’ll have a grace period – generally one to two weeks – to act on your decision, but it helps to have a plan first.

Here are options to consider: • Let your bank renew your CD. This may be the easiest option – but not necessarily the best, depending on the rates and terms. If you do decide to renew and the rates are good, you may want to take advantage of the grace period and add more funds to your CD. • Withdraw your CD funds and get a different CD. You can search the internet for the best CD rates available, and compare the rates listed on NerdWallet, Bankrate, Forbes, Investopedia, US News, SmartAsset, and other sites. The interest rates you see may prompt you to try a new bank or credit union or stick with your current one.

• Withdraw and spend your CD funds. Maybe you’d like to buy a new car or take a well-earned vacation in the next month or two. If that’s the case, you might want to move your CD funds into a checking or savings account during the grace period so it will be more accessible.

• Move your funds to a brokerage account. If you’re willing to accept more risk for potentially higher returns, this may be your best option.

When—and why—talking to an advisor about your CD might be the best solution CDs are extremely low-risk products and are insured by the FDIC (if they are held with an FDIC-insured institution). There is also no market risk with a CD, and their interest rates climbed into the double digits in the 1980s, when inflation rates were also high. CD terms usually range from three months to five years and can be a great choice for someone who wants to lock-in an investment for a set amount of time, with set returns. There is a downside, though, if you need to access your CD funds before maturity. Early withdrawal penalties for CDs vary by institution and are typically calculated as a set period of interest earned, such as 90 days or six months.

But if you’re investing for the long term, your best option may be talking to an advisor and moving your maturing CD funds into a brokerage account. A Forbes article from September 2022 pointed out that CDs were paying above 3% in a high-interest environment, but the historic annualized average return of the S&P was 11.88%.1 So, while CDs may be considered a safer investment, they typically reward you with less of a return over a longer period of time.

Who You’re Going To Call Avoid Probate

Keep a Resolution For Your Loved Ones

•

Offered by: Dolan & Associates, P.C.

At

the end of each year, we reaffirm what we know we need accomplish, by making a resolution for the new year. Unfortunately, we then get busy doing other things. But don’t worry, there are some things, like estate planning, that we can put off forever and not have to suffer the consequences!

Procrastinating on your estate plan will result in your family spending large amounts of your hard-earned money and a good bit of their mental sanity, to take care of you if you become disabled.

However, it won’t bother you; you’re incapacitated! If your affairs are complete chaos after your death, and as a result your children fight over how to handle them and never speak to each other again, it won’t bother you; you’re dead! If large amounts of your estate are spent on unnecessary fees and costs after your death, it won’t bother you; you’re dead! If you wanted your children to share equally in your estate, but instead a large portion went to only one child, it won’t bother you; you’re dead!

But…if these things concern you now, why are you resolving to worry about them for another 365 days? Do something about it!

We are confident that taking the time to do your estate planning won’t make you die any sooner, and we are confident it won’t make you live any longer. But we do know for certain that a professionally designed, implemented, and maintained estate plan will make life a lot easier on your family, both emotionally and financially. Instead of making an empty resolution, take the action necessary to get your estate plan in order.

If you would like to learn more about an estate planning process that is producing great results for families, visit www.EstatePlansThatWork.com to sign up for a complimentary educational workshop.

Gather and organize tax records.

Organized tax records make preparing a complete and accurate tax return easier. It helps avoid errors that lead to processing and refund delays.

You should have all their tax information available before filing to ensure the return is complete and accurate. Be sure to notify the IRS of address changes and notify the Social Security Administration of a legal name change.

Remember, most income is taxable. Recordkeeping for individuals includes: • Forms W-2 from employer(s) • Forms 1099 from banks, issuing agencies and other payers including unemployment compensation, dividends, distributions from a pension, annuity or retirement plan.

• Form 1099-K, 1099-MISC, W-2 or other income statement for workers in the gig economy • Form 1099-INT for interest received.

• Other income documents and records of virtual currency transactions.

Income documents can help individuals determine if they’re eligible for deductions or credits. Additionally, people who receive Premium Tax Credits will need Form 1095-A, Health Insurance Marketplace Statement, to reconcile advance Premium Tax Credits for Marketplace coverage.

If you have an online account at IRS.gov, you may view taxes owed on prior years and payment history. You can even schedule payments and apply for payment plans. An Online Account securely provides tax account information on IRS.gov and helps provide important filing information.

Last quarterly payment for 2023 is due on Jan. 16, 2024.

Taxpayers may need to consider estimated or additional tax payments due to non-wage income from unemployment, self-employment, annuity income or even digital assets. The Tax Withholding Estimator on IRS. gov can help you determine if there’s a need to consider an additional tax payment to avoid an unexpected tax bill when you file.

Need help getting your documents organized? Let us know and we’ll send you a free tax organizer. Just call our office at (720) 949-7733.

How to avoid a late enrollment penalty(LEP) for Part D! Offered by: Headwaters Health and Wealth LLC - Lisa Asmussen

W

hen you are first eligible for Medicare whether at age 65 or due to disability prior to age 65, Part D becomes available to you. At this point you have 63 days from the date of getting Part A or Part B of Medicare to get Part D prescription drug coverage.

Part D may be delayed if you have coverage from your current work through a group health plan with a group of 20 or more members. A delay is also permitted if you are on your spouses group health plan again it should be for 20 or more members.

If you do not have coverage and you do not enroll in a plan that offers Part D from a private insurance company, within the time limitation, then at some point in the future if you would ever want to get prescription drug insurance, Part D, you would have a penalty for all of the months you did not have creditable coverage.

Often after enrolling in Medicare Part B upon retirement and signing up for coverage a letter will be sent to anyone that signed up for Part D coverage but is after their initial eligibility date. It explains that you must validate your previous coverage to avoid a penalty. These forms are important and must be followed with communication to the insurance company to avoid this type of lifelong penalty.

We assist with understanding the deadlines, responding to inquiries and providing reliable direction to avoid the Part D penalty.

Lisa Asmussen 303-887-8584 • Lisa@headwatershw.com We do not offer every plan available in your area. Currently we represent 10 organizations which offer 106 products in your area.Please contact Medicare.gov, 1-800-MEDICARE, or your local State Health Insurance Program (SHIP) to get information on all of your options.

Happy New Year!!!

Offered by:

I

hope you had a wonderful Holiday Season. It’s my favorite time of the year because I get a little time to rest. Now that we are into the new year, there are a few things to remember.

January 1 - March 31 is the General Enrollment Period for Medicare. This is a time for anyone who is not on Medicare, but is eligible, to enroll. If you delayed getting on Medicare because you didn’t want to pay the premium or you were using VA benefits and thought that would be enough, you are able to enroll in Medicare during this timeframe. Remember, you will likely have a Late Enrollment Penalty for delaying enrollment in Part B. Remember, this is for people who are not on an Employer Health Plan.

If you delayed enrollment in Part B and are worried about the Late Enrollment Penalty, please note that the longer you put off joining Part B, the larger the penalty grows. Please call me to help understand how this penalty works.

The first quarter of the year is also the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period. This is a time when folks who started the year on a Medicare Advantage Plan can make a one-time plan change. Here are some examples of why you might take advantage of this time period. If you switched plans and your MD no longer takes the plan you switched to, you can change to another Medicare Advantage Plan that your MD does accept. If you have heard about another Medicare Advantage Plan that has benefits which are appealing to you, you can make a change. You can also leave a Medicare Advantage Plan and go to Original Medicare, add a Prescription Drug Plan, and if you’d like, also add a Medicare Supplement.

A lot of times we think we are stuck in our plan but there is a little bit of grace for Medicare Advantage Plan enrollees in this first quarter of the year. If you have questions, please reach out. I can help. www.JenniferBellBenefits.com * 720.626.6524 Bee a part of The Buzz next month! To advertise, call: 720.706.9055

Offered by: Nicole Waltz, FNP-BC Brighton Pediatrics, P.C.

ow that fall has come to an end and we have settled into school routines, let’s talk sleep. Sleep is essential for early brain development from infancy through adolescence.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that infants get 12-16 hours of sleep (including naps), toddlers should be getting 11-14 hours (including naps), preschoolers should get 10-13 hours (including naps), children between 6 and 13 yearsold get 9-11 hours of sleep and teens age 13-18 years should aim for 6-12 shours per night.

What can parents do: • Keep to a consistent bedtime schedule and routine.

• Avoid screentime one hour before bedtime.

• Be active during the day.

• Keep your child’s bed a place for sleep and not a place for play.

The AAP recommends the 4 B’s before bed: Bath, Brush teeth, Book, Bedtime. Baths/showers are soothing to children and hygienic. Brushing, also hygienic, after the last meal or bottle cues the child that it’s time for bed. Books are great for bonding, increasing vocabulary, and a good replacement for screentime. Bedtime: Once you’ve set the stage for bathing, brushing, and books to signal bedtime, you should encourage your child to fall asleep independently at an appropriate bedtime that works for your family.

least 1 in 5 children have a diagnosable mental health condition. When these conditions are left unaddressed, this can lead to a decrease in quality of life or worse. Rates of depression and anxiety in children and adolescents continue to rise. Suicide continues to be a leading cause of death in adolescents in most states.

It is well known that early access to mental health services makes the greatest impact on these challenges. Yet, access to mental health services often seems to be beyond reach. Many barriers to these services exist such as insurance coverage, distance to a mental health provider, and time, just to name a few. Premier Pediatrics has decided to take on this challenge by doing what we can to make mental health services more readily available to those who need it.

We offer many services such as “telehealth” or virtual visits with a licensed therapist/counselor or a psychiatrist at our office or in your home.

We also have partnership with other mental health counselors in our community who can provide much needed emotional support. Through our partnership with many mental health providers, most can receive mental health services that will be covered by their insurance or at an affordable rate. We are committed to eliminating the barriers to mental health by maintaining these programs and exploring other new options.

We hope many of our precious children, adolescents, and young adults will benefit greatly. For more information, call: 303-655-1685.

Yes, Winter is a Great Time to Sell Your Home Offered by: Scott and Lora Nordby, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Colorado Real Estate

C

old weather won’t deter a motivated homebuyer. Corporate relocations often take place before the new year and those employees want to find a home now. Buyers want to get their children enrolled in school before the second semester begins. Homebuyers may feel they have a better chance of finding a home while their competitors nest at home until the snow melts.

You also have a timeline to sell, move, and settle into a new place, perhaps for a new job, birth of a child, up- or down-sizing, etc. Why not sell when there’s less competition from other homeowners who’re waiting to sell until spring?

There are a few things you’ll need to do to make your home attractive for cold weather shoppers: Decorate for coziness. Some homes are at their best in the winter. Pull out your most fabulous afghans and quilts. Throw some logs on the fire, or keep the gas or electric fireplace on for showings.

Fill the home with evocative aromas. Cinnamon, cloves, and oranges boiling on the stove will stimulate pleasant memories. Use a pine or lavender-based cleanser on your floors and surfaces.

THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT

Make a place for muddy shoes. Buy a box of booties and put them next to a chair for homebuyers to put on. Taking their shoes off will make them feel welcome and more comfortable.

What’s here today, has never been better. To learn more, visit UnitedPower.com.

Keep the drive, sidewalks, and walkways cleared. Snow drifts are dangerous and could discourage homebuyers. Keep Your Forever Agent® informed of road conditions.

YOUR SOURCE OF POWER. AND INFORMATION.

We are always here to help with your real estate needs and questions. Talk to your Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Colorado Real Estate Forever AgentSM about the benefits of buying or selling a home this winter season.
