Flipping a Switch: Your Guide to Happiness and Financial Security in Later Life

Leaving full-time employment to enter retirement often requires a 180-degree change in mindset and behavior from the way you managed your time and money previously. This is especially true for Baby Boomers who may have never experienced adult life without a full-time job and have been practicing the same habits since their 20s. These life transitions can be looked at as if they require flipping a switch. Some changes happen suddenly like an on/off switch, while others happen over time like a dimmer switch. Some switches are voluntary like spending accumulated savings, while some are mandatory like taking required minimum distributions starting at age 72. And to make matters more confusing, there are also lifestyle and social changes to consider as well.

Flipping a Switch discusses 35 financial, lifestyle, and social transitions you'll encounter upon entering retirement, including:

  • Full-time work to new pastimes

  • Saving money to spending money

  • Receiving a paycheck to creating a paycheck

  • Funding retirement savings plans to taking required minimum distribution withdrawals

  • Accumulating possessions to downsizing

Everyone has unique switches to flip. Flipping a Switch: Your Guide to Happiness and Financial Security in Later Life offers important information and guidance new retirees need before undertaking their new life. Each chapter includes a How to Flip This Switch section with suggested action steps. Nationally known speaker, author, and Certified Financial Planner© Dr. Barbara O'Neill will help you develop a plan to become your best future self.

Treleaven Wines

Family Owned and Operated, Since 1984 Separator Image Our story begins with our founders Pete and Tacie Saltonstall. They wanted to start a winery inspired by the Burgundian ideal of a small family domaine that handles all the growing and producing of its own wines. A soup to nuts approach that lets us consider and control each part and process that our vines, grapes, and wines go through. When they started planting the vineyard their kids rode along in the tractor, or sat in a carrier placed in the shade to oversee the proceedings. Now those same children have grown up and added their own pages to the Treleaven story. In addition to our meticulous approach to farming and winemaking, Lev and Hattie have reimagined what a winery experience is like for our guests. In the same way that the Saltonstalls grew up as a family in the winery, scrambling around barrels and hiding under tanks, Treleaven is dedicated to making our guests feel at ease; not simply welcomed but welcomed home. Bring to us your laughter, and children, and memories, and allow us to become the backdrop of your life. Be it in the Hangtime outside listening to a band, in our traditional tasting room learning more about the wines, or in the Oak Lounge having a bite to eat and a local craft beer, come and join the family.

Malbec - Thirsty Owl Wine Company

Malbec - An exceptionally rare find in the Finger Lakes. Estate grown fruit with hints of clove and nutmeg. Barrel aged for 15 months.

Malbec wine is known for its deep purple color and full body. Malbec grapes are small and dark in color with very thick skins, producing a wine that has rich fruity flavors and medium tannin levels. Malbec wines are often higher in alcohol than Merlot or Pinot Noir. Some bottles contain up to 15% ABV, so watch out for this boozy bottle if you’re trying to cut down on your alcohol intake. Malbec grapes are fussy and can be difficult to grow, so they’re grown in much smaller quantities than other more popular red wines. Malbec grapes do well in sunny climates that also have cold nights. High elevation spots are perfect, like the Mendoza wine region nestled in the foothills of the Andes in Argentina. In Bordeaux, France, Malbec is a popular blending grape. It’s often blended with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Gamay to make Bordeaux blends.

  • Composed of 75% Cabernet Franc, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 2% Merlot, this vintage showcases a light fruit and cherry character, an earthy savory note, and a lingering finish. Winemakers Notes: Aged for 9 months to allow the wine to knit itself together at its own pace. Fermented at low temperatures to promote fruit flavors and delicate extraction while the caps were pumped over regularly. Food Pairing Notes: Steak au poivre, roasted pork loin with potatoes and herbs, baked brie with fresh blackberries, and roast chicken with herbes de provence.

In 2005 the horses moved to Mechanicville, NY and in 2009 we began converting some of the pastureland into vineyard. This year we planted 100 more vines and we plan to add more in the years to come. We received our Farm Winery license in the summer of 2013 and that fall marked our first full harvest.
