Mark Miller: After the Crash, a New Realism Emerges About RetirementBy Donna J. Jodhan Up until the crash of a few months ago, there were so many of us who had made such grandiose plans for retirement. From the person in the 20s to those in their 40s and 50s and from those who were o so close to retirement to those millions of baby boomers. We were all looking forward to a retirement filled with our dreams of travel, owning our ideal homes, taking the courses that we never had time to take while we were working, golfing and fishing, and so much more. Yes, we were really dreaming then and no one could have blamed us for doing so. We figured that we would have earned it all by the time that we were ready to retire but who could have forecasted what started to happen late last year?Who could have foretold that in the matter of just a few months all of our dreams would come crashing down and by the time this is all over retirement would be adopting a new meaning?There was a time that the word retirement meant the fulfillment of dreams unrealized but these days this cherished word now means continuing to toil away just to keep one's head above water. I am afraid that the reality is going to be very different for the majority of us by the time this is all over. A new and more somber reality is going to take the place of golden dreams; one that will probably be comprised of working longer and harder, more funds needed to fulfill those dreams of ideal homes and once in a lifetime trips, plus more careful financial planning to satisfy the needs of both parents and kids. Yes, a more harsh reality is awaiting us at the end of this tunnel. I am going to leave you with a very insightful reference to check out. One that will introduce you to the new reality of the future.

safe home secure

I reported this and on two separate occasions it was attended to but on the third occasion it wasn’t and later I was told to read my manual which was emailed to me. But it continued going off without intrusion so I turned it off until I went away when people I had left to attend to the intruder alarm eventually complained that it was going off without intruders. I then left a one star rating which was responded to very promptly and I am Very Pleased that I can now set my alarm on and go to sleep without being woken up unnecessarily. I was requested to delete the one star rating and I did. It had not worked the way I needed when I had it isince May but I am Very pleased with the service I have received since my last review. Excellent customer service. I have given it four stars as I expect to be back to give it a five star at some stage. This will be when I’ve been away and the people responsible to respond give their views when they compare to how it worked in the past. I am now confident it will be five stars because I have been given the attention I needed. Having looked around for months for a good home security system, I came across SMART Home Security's Google ad. From the initial call to installation and post care, it's one of the best customer services I've received from a company.
