Q: How do I stop feeling so down in the dumps?

A: Depression often subtly makes its way into one’s mental health, impacting relationships and behaviors. Others may express their concern for you. Interventions such as mental health therapy, medications, and implementing healthy coping skills may be necessary to improve your well-being. Make today the day to create positive change and reach out for help.

A: Since the first week of January, our total amount of snowfall has been significant. Since the weight of snow and ice is substantial, we recommend removing as much of the snow and ice as possible. However, safety should be your foremost concern. Emergency room personnel can tell you many stories of unfortunate homeowners injured while climbing a ladder or getting onto their roofs to remove snow and ice. Therefore, we recommend purchasing a ‘snow rake’, a long handled shoveling device, designed to pull snow and ice off the roof while you stand safely on the ground. Please be aware, however, since a snow rake is made from aluminum, you must kept it away from any electrical power lines on your roof.

Q: Is there a certain amount of money I need for retirement in my retirement nest egg?

Samantha King, Au.D

A: It’s easy to overlook signs that your hearing aid may need adjustment or replacement. If you notice muffled sounds, frequent feedback or your device isn’t working as well as it used to, it’s time to see an audiologist. Talk to your primary care doctor to be referred to Bronson Constance Brown Hearing Center for a thorough evaluation. Our licensed audiologists are trained in the latest technologies to ensure your hearing aid is fine-tuned to your exact needs. If a replacement is needed, we will guide you through the fitting and customization of new hearing aids. For more information call (269) 343-2601 or visit bronsonhealth.com/hearing.

A: Everybody has different lifestyles that have different income requirements. To put a black and white number out there doesn’t cover all the potential volatility one can expect over their lifetime. Retirement planning should emphasize Income Planning. Income planning is how best to combine your income from social security and/or pensions with an additional monthly stream of income created from your nest egg. There are many financial tools and options to consider when creating this stream of income. If you would like to discuss these options, give us a call.
