My retirement to NYC
Guest post written by Nina Zoe
Most people that relocate when they retire move from a hustling and bustling place to a quiet, relaxed place. But I’m doing just the opposite to be near my grandchildren.
I’ve lived in Oklahoma all my life and after my daughter went to New York City for college, she settled down there. This idea didn’t settle so well with me but she’s just as stubborn as I am and has lived there since. Now that she’s started a family, it’s harder for them to make it here for visits between my grandkids’ school and extracurricular activities. We’ll video chat online with my wildblue Oklahoma but it still isn’t the same as being around them all the time.
Her and her husband recently bought a Brooklyn brownstone and suggested I move in with them since they would have the room and I was about to retire. I thought it might be a nice change that would allow me to enjoy my family more so I took them up on the offer.
Now I’m all set up in their place with wildblue satellite New York to keep up with my friends back in Oklahoma and watch the kids after school. I couldn’t be any happier!

There's no better investment than Gold to Protect Your Wealth
For centuries, buying precious metals such as gold and silver has been recognized as the best way of safeguarding savings, protecting wealth and preserving purchasing power. There is no better time to buy precious metals than now in view of rising inflation and the fluctuating value of paper currency.
As an investment product, gold is available in coin or ingot form. Ingots are generally gold ingots of pure bullion cast in a convenient size and shape which you can take physical possession of or have them kept in a depository. With world production depleting, the price of gold will only go up making gold a profitable investment.
The United States Gold Bureau is the place to buy gold coins. The professional staff at United States Gold Bureau can help you with making the right investment decision.

Protecting My Home While Traveling
Thanks to guest blogger Haley Richardson for the post.
Every year my family and I travel to Gulf Shores, Alabama for our summer vacation. It’s sort of a tradition for our family to get together for a week and have fun in the sun on the coast! A lot of people tend to ask me, however, if I ever worry about the security of my home while on vacation. To be honest, I take lots of precautions to make sure that everything is fine with my home, even when I’m not there.
One of the first things I do before going on vacation to help secure my property is take current pictures of all of my major belongings. I usually use a digital camera to do so, so that I can upload the photos to a server so that they are protected and can’t be lost. Another thing I usually do is ask my neighbor to keep an eye out over the house. I usually kindly let her know that we’ll be gone for a certain amount of time, and I ask her to keep a watch out over my house just to ensure things are going smoothly.
Last but certainly not least, I usually set my home alarm from ADT security deals Boise before leaving the house. Purchasing that system is probably one of the best things I could have ever done as everything has gone perfectly well so far!
