Flexibility is Key to a Thriving Retirement

Today’s retirement experience can be unpredictable, and resilience and flexibility are the keys to not just surviving, but thriving.

The right strategies and guidance can help retirees and pre-retirees weather the curveballs—and sometimes the cannonballs--of personal and financial life.

Two-thirds of retirees report feeling confident in their ability to handle the unexpected, based on a survey from financial services firm Edward Jones in collaboration with Age Wave, the leading organization on issues relating to aging.

However, retirees and preretirees want to know the full range of options when it comes to financial planning, especially in the wake of challenges large and small.

In a new report, “Resilient Choices: Trade-Offs, Adjustments and Course Corrections to Thrive in Retirement,” Edward Jones and Age Wave suggest “course corrections” in four areas to thrive in retirement. These corrections line up with what the financial experts at Edward Jones call “the four pillars of retirement”: health, family, purpose, and finances.

“Today’s pre- and current retirees know they will face challenges but are willing to make adjustments, trade-offs and course corrections to improve their quality of life and sense of well-being as retirement continues to last longer than ever,” said Lena Haas, Head of Wealth Management Advice and Solutions at Edward Jones. “We are encouraged to see that Americans understand they need to have a flexible plan and feel confident in their ability to handle the unexpected, particularly if they can learn from the experiences of others.”

Here are a few course corrections Edward Jones experts suggest across their four pillars:

Health: Maintain good health habits, such as eating well, exercising regularly, and engaging in stimulating mental activities. These can improve health, extend life, and increase feelings of well-being in

retirement.

Family: Spend more quality time with those you love and avoid toxic relationships; spending time with family can be fulfilling, but know where to set emotional and financial boundaries.

Purpose: Enrich your life in a way that works for you, by exploring familiar paths, trying new things, expanding social circles, and reinventing yourself with new goals and dreams.

Finance: The right financial guidance can help you make the most of retirement; seek experts with a holistic approach that includes all possible tools beyond the basics of increasing savings and reducing debt.

Natural Food Storage Containers Can Help Save Money

As food costs continue to rise, many people are seeking creative solutions to stretch their dollars and reduce wasted food. Buying and cooking food in bulk helps save money, as well as time and resources. However, frugal shoppers then face the challenge of how to safely store their bounty for future meals.

And … what about leftovers? Even the best storage bags and containers, when sealed properly, lock in damaging oxygen which can cause mold, oxidation and bacteria to set in.

The right storage solutions can help extend the shelf life of everyday food and other products at home. MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) is a patented system designed to help consumers keep food safely for longer periods by using nitrogen to maintain freshness and deter spoilage. This technology has been used by food processors and packers since the 1930s and is now available to the general public. Fruits, vegetables, cheese and meats stay fresher.

“Using MAP, the bad air inside packaged products is exchanged and replaced by good air,” says MAPWARE creator Gary Growden.

“Natural Preserve is simply highly filtered air, leaving 100% safe, natural, organic, inert nitrogen,” he explains.

The MAPWARE natural storage system allows consumers to use MAP safely and effectively right at home. With MAPWARE, oxygen inside the container is reduced

or eliminated, thereby lowering the chances of bacteria and oxidation setting in that can cause food to spoil.

Here’s how it works: Place food in a MAPWARE container, seal with the locking lid, and use a specialized canister of their foodgrade nitrogen to flush out the bad air, leaving food sealed similar to the way it came from the store.

The products in the MAPWARE line include specialized canisters of nitrogen and the MAPWARE series of bowls with lids, available in a range of sizes. In addition, the Zip and Zap bags are MAP-compliant zipper bags that can fit easily in the freezer, fridge or pantry and are perfect for meats, cookies, breads, fruits and vegetables, snacks and any other cooked or uncooked foods. Other MAPWARE products include specialized clips and caps that can be attached to bags of storebought products, such as bread and buns.

The MAPWARE products help prevent food waste and save money, so they benefit your wallet as well as the environment.

MAPWARE’s Gary Growden received the “Inventors Recognition Award” for the “Most Innovative and Best New Invention” by the International Housewares Association.

The MAPWARE products are completely recyclable, reusable and renewable. Visit Mymapware.com for more information. -(TVA)

Small Businesses Seek Talent, Technology to Succeed

Starting and maintaining a successful small business is a challenge in any setting. For rural entrepreneurs, that struggle is even greater when it comes to accessing capital, high-speed internet and quality workers, according to a survey from SCORE, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping small businesses since 1964.

SCORE’s Fall 2022 Megaphone of Main Street: The Small Business Rural/Urban Divide surveyed more than 3,000 entrepreneurs and discovered that population shifts away from rural areas are challenging small business owners in desperate need of reliable talent and technology.

Rural business owners report higher expenses and fewer customers than non-rural counterparts, according to the survey. Rising fuel costs (49.3%), slowing customer spending (48.6%), tight marketing budgets (47.6%) and a limited local customer base (34.6%) are their most vexing customer-related challenges. In addition, rural businesses are 26% more likely to have trouble finding qualified employees, says SCORE.

Noting that the technology gap between rural and non-rural businesses persists, SCORE’s survey found that twice as many rural entrepreneurs (19.2%) compared to non-rural entrepreneurs (9%) struggle with access to broadband/high-speed internet, making it harder for them to conduct business, reach customers and grow. Small businesses in both rural and non-rural areas say they’re challenged by a lack of technological knowledge or assistance.

“As a small business owner in a rural area of Erie County in Western New York, it has been challenging over the last decade to attract staff, being at least a 30-minute drive from the city of Buffalo and the surrounding suburbs,” says Kerry Planck of Alpine Made LLC in South Wales, N.Y. “My latest long-term employee, who lives 30-plus miles away, recently quit, due in part to the long commuting distance and higher gas prices,” she adds. “I generally give six-month raises to my employees; however, they have not kept up with current inflation levels.”

Planck has worked with SCORE mentor David Bunis for 10 years, most recently on staffing- retention issues. “I was advised by SCORE to work with local colleges to recruit paid student interns,” says Planck. “This has helped me greatly throughout the last two years.”

SCORE provides tangible solutions for all entrepreneurs in the form of free mentoring from small business experts, as well as online tools and workshops. Local SCORE chapters also offer in-person events and roundtable discussions. Since 1964, SCORE has helped 11 million entrepreneurs start or grow a business.

Expert Tips, New Products and Top Deals for a Safe, Fun and Stylish Summer

Longer days and warmer nights make summer an excellent time to bond with loved ones—including those with fur, scales, fins and feathers. Consider these safety tips, new products and special ways to help support pets’ health and wellness all season long.

Make sure pets stay cool and hydrated: It’s critical to keep pets cool during the warmer months. Pets can easily become overheated, so choosing an outdoor bed such as the K&H Cooling Pet Cot can provide a rest from hot surfaces outside, and cooling apparel such as the YOULY Cooling Watercolor Vest and YOULY Blue Cooling Rashguard are helpful on hot summer days. Pets need sun protection just like humans and supplies such as the Leaps & Bounds Pop-Up Shade Tent are key when spending time outside. Hydration should also be a top priority—the EveryYay Silicone Dog Bowl and EveryYay Silicone Roll-Up Bottle make it easy to ensure that pets always have access to cool, fresh water. For a cooling treat, the new WholeHearted Slushy Squeeze in refreshing peanut butter or chicken flavors will help keep dogs occupied and content.

Keep health and safety top of mind: To help mitigate stress caused by Fourth of July fireworks, plan to keep pets indoors in a safe space, incorporate white noise into their environment and keep their minds occupied with enrichment toys or chews. Pet parents can also consider calming solutions such as Well & Good Calming Chews for dogs and cats. If your pet has severe anxiety due to loud noises, consult a trusted veterinarian, who can recommend the best solution for the pet’s individual needs. Fourth of July is a common holiday for pets to go missing, so it’s important to keep a close eye on them during festivities. There are resources such as Petco Love Lost, a national lost and found database that uses patented image-recognition technology to help reunite lost pets.

Prioritize pest prevention: Summer is the peak season for fleas and ticks, as pet parents spend more time outside with their pets, and a proactive approach is the best way to prevent infection and disease. Petco offers a variety of pest prevention products and treatments such as Well & Good Natural Flea and Tick Dog Shampoo and Seresto Vet-Recommended Flea and Tick Prevention Collar for dogs and cats. For additional support, schedule an appointment with a veterinarian at petco.com/vet and add a flea cleanse to your pet’s next grooming appointment. Many breeds will also benefit from a summer haircut as the temperature rises. You can learn more about Petco’s grooming services at petco.com/grooming.

Prepare for pool parties: For pets and pet parents looking for opportunities to cool off in their backyard, the Leaps & Bounds Pet Pool and Leaps & Bounds Watercolor Splash Pad make it easy to host a “pool pawty” right at home. Petco has great accessories for the occasion including the YOULY Strawberry Swimsuit and Leaps & Bounds Flamingo Pet Pool Float. All dogs have different swimming abilities, so it’s important to keep them safe with a flotation vest such as the YOULY Dog Float whenever they are in or

near water.

Gear up for adventures: Many pet parents plan to include their pets in summer vacation plans. The Reddy Fold-Out Carrier, EveryYay Crash Test Dog Harness and EveryYay Road Trippin’ Car Booster Seat keep pets safe in transit, while the YOULY Adventurer Dog Backpack Harness lets pets carry some of their own supplies while out exploring. For unexpected messes, the EveryYay Squeaky Clean Showerhead Bottle Attachment helps with quick cleanup on the go. Pet parents can also contact their veterinarian for guidance on travel anxiety and motion sickness solutions.

Choose fashion and function: Petco’s lifestyle and fashion brand Reddy now boasts apparel, supplies and toys in trendy blush pink. Top new finds include the Reddy Pink BFF Hoodie and Reddy Pink Durable Dog Harness. Other fashion-forward Reddy picks terrific for summer range from the Pink Camo Dog Backpack to the Denim Jacket. Reddy will also unveil its first-ever collection designed for cats. Additional new collections available for a limited time at Petco include hand-dyed pet accessories and apparel from Found My Animal; athletic-inspired pet apparel, toys and accessories from Reebok; and pink apparel, toys and accessories from Barbie® x Canada Pooch for a Barbiecore-inspired look.

For more information on summer tips, products, services and savings for pets, visit a Petco pet care center, petco.com or the Petco app.

Pollution from Production to “Disposal”: The Lifecycle of a Vape

In each step of their lifecycle, vape products can harm our environment with three forms of toxic pollution: plastic waste, hazardous waste, and electronic waste (e-waste).

Step 1: Production

From the very beginning of production, vapes are devastating for the environment. Sourcing raw materials for these products is highly resource intensive, requiring not just plastics, but heavy metals, lithium-ion for batteries, and nicotine from tobacco plants. Mining lithium for vape batteries is a major source of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, requires the use of chemicals and immense amounts of water, and leaves toxic waste in its wake. Plus, the nicotine used in these products comes from tobacco plants, a destructive crop that causes mass deforestation, soil contamination, and water depletion.

Step 2: A Polluting Sales Model

The majority of vapes are designed for single or short-term use. This sales model ensures that consumers constantly need to purchase new products or pre-filled cartridges, which creates an ever-growing waste problem.

Consider that 3.6 million U.S. adults vape daily. If just one-third of those adults use a single pod or disposable vape a day, that would produce nearly half a billion pieces of vape waste annually. And this isn’t counting the estimated 2.5 million U.S. middle and high school students who vape!

Almost every part of a vape is made of plastic, which never biodegrades. Instead, it breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces of plastic called microplastics. Microplastics have been linked to fertility issues, intestinal damage, and even mutations in DNA.

The tobacco industry markets disposable vape products as cheap, sleek, and full of flavors that mask the harsh taste of chemicals used in tobacco

products. This is to profit off addicting the next generation with no regard for their health or the environmental impact of vaping.

Step 3: Vape Disposal & Decay

So here we are: Toxic plastic. Hazardous waste. E-waste pollution.

Big Tobacco can offer little to no guidance on how to dispose of their products because there is no safe way to do so. The electronic waste components of vapes like lithium-ion batteries, heating elements, microcontroller chips, and chargers are extremely dangerous if disposed of in household trash.

If vapes are put into trash receptacles, they pose a fire risk in waste and recycling facilities, threatening workers’ safety. Vape plastics cannot be recycled because they contain residue of highly concentrated nicotine and heavy metals, which classify vapes as hazardous waste. So discarded vapes not only contribute to a growing plastic pollution problem but release toxic chemicals into our ground and water.

As the nicotine, mercury, lead, bromines, and battery acid from these littered products leach into the environment, they can also be eaten by wildlife or pets. Nicotine, which is found in almost all vapes, is a neurotoxin and one of the most toxic of all poisons.

Break the Toxic Cycle

Don’t let Big Tobacco lie to you: the bottom line is vapes cause harm to our environment at every phase of their life cycle and for many years after they’re discarded.

Hold Big Tobacco accountable for the devastating environmental impact of their vape products. To learn more, visit UNDO.org.
