There was early optimism that with the Office of State Budget Management reporting a $987 million surplus, some vehicle for budgetary items would go through; however, none of that came to fruition in 2024.
Whether you’re already retired or it’s coming up on the horizon, planning your retirement is essential. Many people experience a great deal of stress when exploring their finances post-retirement. But by taking a smart, strategic approach to financial planning, you can enjoy a successful retirement and be ready for unexpected costs and concerns. AMBA has five crucial tips for income in retirement.
Outline Your Plan
The first step in preparing for retirement income is to have a comprehensive plan. A custom financial plan is a blueprint for financial decision-making. This can help ensure that all aspects of your financial portfolio work together to achieve your goals.
Be Strategically Prepared for Potential Inflation
It’s important to generate income in retirement and thwart potential increases in the cost of living. Balancing short-term and long-term objectives is an effective way to do this.
It’s recommended to maintain 3 to 5 years of living expenses of living expenses in a short-term, semi-liquid investment account. A mix of bond funds works well, providing capital for opportunistic rebalancing and a monthly income. A short-term allocation to bonds can prevent you from being forced to sell equities at a loss when markets are low.
Consider investing any assets not necessary to fund your short-term needs in a diversified portfolio that focuses on growth and inflation protection. While this portfolio should align with your overall risk tolerance and investment objectives, it can include riskier assets than your short-term account.
Tax Diversification Is a Tax-Efficient Withdrawal Strategy
Increases in tax rates are a frequent reason why people wind up with less money in retirement than they anticipated. Ideally, you’ve been saving in multiple accounts with different tax treatments, such as a 401k, Roth IRA, traditional IRA, and taxable accounts. If so, you may be able to maximize your income through tax diversification. Meaning, strategically withdrawing from different accounts in different circumstances.
Taxable (non-retirement) accounts: These offer the benefits of tax loss harvesting and have fewer restrictions on contribution amounts and fewer distributions.
Tax-deferred retirement accounts, such as pre-tax IRA and 401ks: Withdrawals from trigger ordinary income taxes, as they’ve enjoyed tax-deferred growth.
Tax-exempt accounts, such as Roth IRAs: Allow tax-exempt investments to grow for as long as possible, and qualified withdrawals are tax-free.
There are two main withdrawal strategies. Choose the one that best suits your goals, tax situation, and income needs.
Using the “Traditional Approach,” you would withdraw from one account at a time. Typically, withdrawals are made from taxable accounts first, followed by tax-deferred and tax-exempt accounts. This allows the tax-advantaged accounts to grow tax-deferred and tax-free for longer. However, it may result in uneven taxable income.
The “Proportional Approach,” on the other hand, establishes a target percentage that will be withdrawn from each account each year. The amount is typically based on the proportion of retirement savings in each account type. This can help ensure a more stable tax bill from year to year. Plus, it can help you save on taxes throughout your retirement.
The benefit of a disciplined approach is that you won’t be tempted to spend more than you can afford in any given year (or less than you should enjoy!). This practice can help you maintain adequate assets for a lifetime, regardless of market volatility. An advisor can assist you with creating a distribution strategy aligned with your financial needs and tax bracket on a year-by-year basis.
Revisit and Readjust Regularly
Given the potential longevity of retirement, periodic reviews of your financial plan and income strategy are essential. Work with a qualified wealth manager who can help you understand how regulatory and market changes may impact your plan and adapt as needed to align with your evolving goals and needs.
Consider an Annuity from AMBA
Annuities are a smart and safe way to diversify your savings. You can potentially earn much more interest than CDs or savings accounts. NCRGEA and AMBA’s Tax-Deferred Asset Protection Plan have excellent advantages, including tax-deferred accumulation of interest, a guaranteed competitive interest rate, multiple payout options, and a nursing home waiver.
For many of us, the holidays were a time for indulgence and enjoyment. Unfortunately, this can be marked by increased food and alcohol consumption and reduced physical activity.
But the festive season is over now, and it’s time to “hit the reset” and return to a healthy lifestyle. The good news is getting back on track getting back on track in the new year doesn’t have to mean drastic lifestyle changes, sacrifices, and restrictions. You don’t have to go low calorie, cut carbs, or even ban the booze. Instead, consider AMBA’s straightforward and impactful ways to get back into a healthy way of living. These small, manageable changes can help you feel more energized and healthier for the new year.
Say Goodbye to the Guilt
It’s all too common for many of us to experience a sense of guilt after the holidays. But dwelling on the excess food and drink you may have consumed is unproductive. The past is behind you!
In fact, feeling guilty can perpetuate unhealthy choices because you’re so busy berating and punishing yourself and your body.
Don’t succumb to the temptation to give up on your healthy habits because you briefly fell off the bandwagon. Choose to look forward and move on!
Extreme measures like cutting out all carbs, sugar, dairy, and alcohol for the next few months can be counter-productive. Healthy living isn’t about depriving yourself of the things you love.
Stay in Control with Portion Control
After the holidays, don’t try to overhaul your diet overnight. Make minor, sustainable adjustments. Think of each meal as an opportunity to make healthy choices that help you feel your best.
One of the best areas to focus on is eating smaller meals more frequently. Be mindful of serving sizes and avoid skipping meals. Also, emphasize nutrient-dense foods like lean protein, whole grains, and fresh produce.
Becoming mindful while eating can also make a difference. Tune into your body’s signals of fullness and hunger. Pay attention to hunger cues and eat slowly to avoid overeating. You’ll quickly find yourself making better choices and eating appropriate serving sizes.
Make the Kitchen Your Castle
While the holiday season frequently involves dining out and socializing, the post-holidays are the perfect time to enjoy being home more often and return to the pleasures of cooking.
Preparing your meals gives you the power to know exactly what’s in your food. This prevents excess sugars, salts, oils, and other processed ingredients from being parts of your recipes.
Instead, make your meals with whole foods, such as lean proteins, healthy fats, fruits, and vegetables. These minimally processed, nutrient-rich ingredients can help you return to a healthful lifestyle.
Likewise, break the cycle of high-sugar holiday sweets by reducing added sugars and refined carbs. Replace desserts with naturally sweet options like fruit or complex carbs like Greek yogurt.
Walk It Off
After all the holiday presents are unwrapped, it’s time to give yourself the gift of exercise. The holidays are a high-risk time to gain a few extra pounds with all the delicious meals and toasts with loved ones. Exercise can combat this risk by helping you burn excess calories, maintain muscle mass, and sustain a healthier metabolic rate.
Another great reason to get your workouts in is that exercise reduces stress. As much fun as the holidays can be, all the shopping, socializing, and scheduling can take a toll on your physical and mental well-being. Exercise provides an outlet to release built-up stress, which can often lead to overeating. Exercise can also give you a sense of accomplishment and pride in taking control of your health.
Focus on Progress, Not Perfection
For your post-holiday reset, forget about quick fixes or crash diets. Sustainable changes take time. Celebrate small victories and enjoy the process of nourishing your body.
Another great way to take control of your health in the new year is to ensure you have all the benefits you need. As NCRGEA’s trusted benefits partner, AMBA can help you live your best life and enjoy peace of mind.
AMBA’s compassionate and highly trained agents can provide insightful recommendationsto help you fill the gaps in your coverage and determine the right policies for you. This includes comprehensive Dental and Vision plans, Life Insurance, Emergency Medical Transportation coverage, and other essential policies.
The days when eyeglasses were just a functional accessory to help improve vision are long gone. Today, eyeglasses are one of the most powerful and important fashion statements. Older adults are no longer stuck with no choice but plain or simply utilitarian glasses. Today’s eyewear celebrates individuality and style at any age.
Today’s wide range of luxury designer eyeglasses and sunglasses let you express your unique style and make a bold statement. So, what are the hot trends for older adults in 2025? AMBA has found the latest styles and advancements that emphasize attractive looks, comfort, and innovative technology in the new year.
Focus on Comfort and Lightweight Materials
One of the most significant trends in 2025 will be ultra-lightweight materials that enhance comfort. Comfort is a priority for older adults, who often wear glasses for extended periods. Frames crafted from materials like titanium, bio-acetate, and memory metals have been gaining popularity lately. These materials are not only light but also durable, ensuring they are suitable for long-term use.
Designers are also integrating ergonomic features into frames, such as adjustable nose pads and flexible temples. These features provide a customized fit, reducing pressure points and improving comfort.
Fashion-Forward Eyewear Designs
Rich earth tones, metallic finishes, and bold jewel shades like emerald and sapphire are the trends for 2025. Transparent and gradient-colored frames are also in vogue, adding a contemporary edge to classic designs.
Patterns inspired by nature, such as marbled effects and floral motifs, are also gaining popularity. Furthermore, frame shapes like cat-eye, round, and geometric styles are being reimagined with subtle enhancements to suit mature faces.
A Larger Focus on Larger Lenses
Larger lenses provide a wider field of vision, which is essential for progressive lenses and bifocals. Since vision needs change with age, many older adults prefer glasses that require fewer adjustments.
In addition to being functional, oversized lenses allow you to blend retro aesthetics with contemporary flair. They are a versatile fashion staple that complements any outfit and face shape. Celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Rihanna, and Johnny Depp have all embraced the style with a modern twist.
Prescription Sunglasses with Style
Prescription sunglasses are a smart investment for older adults who want to protect their eyes from harmful UV rays. In 2025, these sunglasses will be offered in many stylish designs, from aviators to oversized frames. Polarized lenses, which reduce glare and enhance contrast, are popular for outdoor activities like driving or walking.
Oversized sunglasses gained popularity in the 1960s thanks to Jackie Onassis and Audrey Hepburn. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen revitalized the look in the early 2000s. The frames are timeless and are now being given a modern upgrade for 2025 with bold shapes and colors.
Smart Eyewear Technology
Another significant trend in eyewear is technological advancements. Some smart glasses now automatically adjust for reading or distance vision, eliminating the need for multiple pairs of glasses for those with specific vision needs. As technology becomes more user-friendly, older adults are increasingly embracing these innovations.
Smart glasses with features like voice control, fitness tracking, and health monitoring are becoming more accessible and offer substantial advantages for older adults. These devices can track physical activity and provide crucial health benefits, such as monitoring heart rate and blood sugar and reminding the wearer to take medication.
2025 boasts many exciting eyewear trends. AMBA and NCRGEA have a Vision Plan that makes it easy to get high-quality eyewear so you can get the perfect frames to match your style. This plan provides generous coverage on frames, glasses, and most lenses (even progressives!). Plus, it covers annual WellVision exams.

Do your gums feel tender when they’re touched? Do they easily bleed? Do you have bad breath that won’t seem to go away? You might be suffering from periodontal disease, a prevalent oral health issue that affects millions of Americans. Left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss, systemic health complications, and a reduced quality of life. Early detection and intervention are critical to preventing the progression of gum disease. Fortunately, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is emerging as a crucial tool in the fight for oral health. AI is revolutionizing dentistry by leveraging machine learning, advanced algorithms, and real-time analytics.
The Enhanced Diagnostic Capabilities of AI in the Battle Against Gum Disease
Clinical observations, X-rays, and periodontal probing have traditionally been used to diagnose gum disease. However, these techniques can sometimes miss subtle early-stage indicators of gum disease. With precision greater than the human eye, AI analyzes dental X-rays to detect early signs of bone loss. This is a key indicator of gum disease.
AI can also identify patterns that even the most expert dentists might overlook by nearly instantly analyzing incredible amounts of data. These models can highlight areas of concern in dental images, such as inflamed tissue or early bone deterioration. This can give dentists a clearer picture of a patient’s periodontal health.
AI-powered tools are also being developed to assess gum health more precisely than traditional tools. These devices can store data over time, allowing dentists to track changes in gum health and catch early signs of disease before they become more serious.
AI and Your Home Dental Care
AI technology can even integrate with wearable devices and in-office tools to monitor patients’ oral health. For instance, smart toothbrushes equipped with AI can track brushing habits, identify areas of insufficient cleaning, and provide feedback on how to improve oral hygiene. Dentists can then use this data to identify patients at higher risk of gum disease and recommend preventive measures.
Another vital advantage of AI is that it can analyze data. This includes genetic predisposition, oral hygiene habits, and medical history. This can help predict a patient’s likelihood of developing gum disease and suggest tailored preventive measures.
Personalized Treatment Plans
AI’s in-office and at-home abilities can help you and your dentist create personalized treatment plans based on individual risk factors. For example, your dentist might recommend more frequent cleanings or targeted antimicrobial therapies if you seem to have a high risk of gum disease.
Another notable benefit of AI tools is that they can help dentists make complex medical issues more relatable for patients. AI can generate compelling 3D visual models so patients can see the current state of their gums and simulate the progression of untreated gum disease. This enhances understanding and can help motivate patients to adhere to recommended treatments and preventive measures.
AI has the potential to be a revolutionary tool in how gum disease is detected and managed and will likely play an increasingly vital role in promoting oral health and preventing the long-term consequences of periodontal disease. But regular checkups with your dentist remain essential. That’s why AMBA and NCRGEA have a comprehensive Dental Plan to help you care for your oral health. Dental Plan provides coverage for checkups, X-rays, cleanings, and access for any dentist you want with more significant savings by staying in-network. Best of all, there is NO WAITING PERIOD on covered services! Visit www.AMBAdentalvision.com/NCRGEA or call 800-956-1228 to enroll today.

Whether to get together with loved ones or to get away from it all, people love to travel during the holiday season. In fact, 48% of Americans took a trip for the holidays in 2023. But as wonderful as travel can be, with all those people simultaneously hitting the airports and highways, travel can also be fraught with busy roads, unexpected problems, and other issues. If you plan to travel soon, AMBA’s tips can help you enjoy a smoother, less stressful journey.
Be Prepared For Flight Delays This Holiday Season
If you’re flying, travel is frequently subject to holiday delays. Be ready for potential bad weather, technical issues (as we saw affect many airlines in July 2024), or a delay from one part of the country that creates a domino effect. You also want to give yourself plenty of time to get to and from your destination. Plan for long lines to get through security, check luggage, and get to and from destinations.
The Early Bird Catches Their Flight
Taking early morning flights might help ensure your flight takes off on time and isn’t delayed. Plus, you’ll have more time at your destination. It’s a win-win!
More Baggage Will Weigh You Down
If you can travel with only carry-on baggage, you can forgo long check-in lines and head straight to security. Plus, you won’t have to wait at baggage claim. And, lest we forget, you won’t have to worry about your luggage getting lost or stuck somewhere if you have connecting flights.
Drive Away Potential Car Problems This Holiday Season
Want to avoid getting stuck on the side of the road in cold weather instead of enjoying sitting at the dining room table surrounded by your loved ones? Be proactive to avoid common dangers.
Detect And Prepare For Problems Early
Take your car in for an inspection and any necessary maintenance. Make sure your tires are winter-ready and properly inflated for a long drive.
You never know when or where car troubles may arise. Along with a fully charged cell phone and portable charging device, be sure to have a Car Emergency Kit. This kit should include necessities like a First Aid kit, a safety cone, a carjack, a flashlight, and jumper cables. Be ready if you break down in the cold by packing a blanket and extra food and water.
Navigate A Safer Journey – GPS FTW!
Proper planning can help you be ready for the unexpected. No one wants to drive down a highway and hit construction, a road closure, or severe traffic. GPS tools such as Waze can quickly offer safe alternate routes in advance and help you stay on track or even find your way back to the main road if you get lost.
Avoid traffic by timing your travel to put you on busy roads before or after peak traffic times. Essential tips to navigate icy, snowy roads include decreasing your speed as needed, giving yourself extra time to reach your destination so you don’t rush in suboptimal conditions, and giving yourself plenty of room behind other vehicles to stop safely on slick roads.
Protect Yourself from the High Cost of Emergency Medical Transportation
No matter how careful you are or how many precautions you take, accidents are a reality of life – especially during busy holiday season travel. Are you ready if you need emergency medical transportation to a hospital? A ground ambulance or air transport could cost thousands, and Medicare may not cover the expense. It’s essential to protect yourself.
Medical Air Services Association (MASA) provides plans for lifesaving emergency medical transportation services. Services are paid in full, with no deductibles, co-pays, or dollar limits. Whether home or traveling, MASA covers your ambulance or airlift, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, regardless of your age or medical condition. Plus, you can get your MASA plan through a trusted source: NCRGEA. Learn more at www.AMBAmedtransport.com/NCRGEA or call AMBA at 800-956-1228 M-F 9am-6pm ET.
When it comes to your health, it’s essential to plan for the unexpected. While this is important at any age, it’s especially true as you get older. Even one major health issue can severely and negatively impact your finances. Every year, thousands of older Americans experience a health issue that can result in the need for ongoing care. That’s where certain types of insurance coverage, like Long-Term Care, become essential.
Whether through an in-home healthcare worker or in an assisted living facility or nursing home, Long-Term Care benefits can help cover the costs of extended care. And even though Medicare and other healthcare coverage typically don’t cover these expenses, many older Americans will still require this care at some point.
AMBA explains several factors that make purchasing Long-Term Care insurance more compelling than ever.
5 Reasons Why Investing in a Long-Term Care Plan Is Important
Quality of Life
Long-Term Care services can ensure you receive the necessary support and assistance to maintain your quality of life, regardless of age or health challenges. Professional providers can help you continue living with dignity and comfort and provide the care you deserve as you age or face chronic health conditions.
To Prevent the Depletion of Retirement Savings
Retirement planning involves building assets and a financial cushion to live comfortably after you stop working. But all too often, unforeseen health issues can swiftly deplete these hard-earned savings.
Long-Term Care insurance can help you avoid liquidating assets or dipping into savings. By investing in it, you can create a dedicated pool of funds for potential healthcare needs and protect your retirement savings for their intended purpose.
Protection from Rising Healthcare Costs
Medical expenses continue to rise every year, and the financial burden can be overwhelming. For example, the average cost for an assisted living facility is $4,500 per month, and the average private room in a nursing home costs more than double that, more than $9,000 monthly. The price at these facilities is only expected to increase.
Long-Term Care insurance can provide an essential safety net. It can cover various services, including in-home care, assisted living facilities, and nursing homes. By locking in a policy now, you shield yourself from the potential financial devastation that can accompany a need for extensive care in the future.
Protect Your Loved Ones from the Burden of Caregiving
The emotional and financial toll of caregiving can be immense, straining relationships and depleting family resources.
By securing a Long-Term Care plan, your loved ones can focus on providing emotional support rather than taking on the tremendous responsibility of care. This can help them continue pursuing their careers and passions, strengthen family bonds, and alleviate stress during challenging times.
An Increased Life Expectancy Mean Increased Risk of Requiring Long-Term Care
America’s population is aging rapidly, and advancements in healthcare have contributed to increased life expectancy. While longer life spans are a testament to medical progress, they also underscore the importance of planning for potential health-related challenges in later years.
Long-term care insurance becomes increasingly valuable as people live longer because it can help manage the costs associated with extended periods of care. By investing in a policy now, you’re proactively addressing the potential need for care down the road.
Be Prepared for the Future
The sooner you plan, the better your chances of avoiding financial challenges later. Even today, the expense of Long-Term Care can be a staggering $75,000 a year or more. That’s’ why you should invest in the Long-Term Care plan from NCRGEA and AMBA. If you develop a health condition requiring care, Long-Term Care insurance keeps you in control of your health decisions while protecting your savings and family.

The best tradition of the holiday season is getting together and spending quality time with friends and loved ones. Unfortunately, these close bonds can be easily strained if you or a loved one suffers from halitosis, otherwise known as bad breath.
Lousy breath can keep you those you long to be closest to at a distance. From rich, decadent holiday fare to poor oral hygiene or other dental issues, bad breath can be a big lump of coal in your holiday stocking. Fortunately, there are remedies for reducing halitosis and increasing your holiday fun.
What Causes Halitosis?
Bad breath can be caused by many factors. Beverages and foods like coffee, alcohol, garlic, and onions are among the most common causes. Moderate your consumption of these to help prevent bad breath.
Another common cause is bacteria in the mouth, which can release volatile sulfur compounds that produce the “rotten egg” smell. Poor oral hygiene, such as insufficient or poor brushing and flossing habits, allows bacteria to flourish.
Bad breath can also be a symptom if you suffer from dry mouth. Dry mouth can be caused by dehydration or as a side effect from certain medications that can inhibit the normal flow of saliva, which helps kill bacteria naturally.
A more severe issue is periodontal or gum disease. Gum disease is caused by bacterial infection and takes the form of gingivitis or periodontitis. Gingivitis is usually identified by sensitivity, pain, or bleeding in the gums. Although highly treatable, it also can indicate the first stages of periodontitis, which is more complex. With proper diagnosis and care, gingivitis can be reversed relatively quickly, and patients often see dramatic reductions in the condition within a couple of weeks. However, if left untreated, gingivitis can advance to periodontitis, a more dangerous type of gum disease with farther-reaching consequences. Periodontal disease also produces the worst-smelling breath.
Banishing Bad Breath
The most important steps you can take to combat bad breath:
Brush your teeth before breakfast, not after. The mouth becomes acidic when eating to break down food. Brushing immediately after eating can damage your enamel.
Choose an alkaline mouthwash and rinse after waking. This will restore the mouth’s pH and loosen any plaque or particles accumulated during sleep.
Brush your teeth using fluoride toothpaste 2x a day for at least 2 minutes, making sure to cover all four quadrants for 30 seconds. Don’t forget to floss at least once daily and clean your tongue with your toothbrush or a scraper made for that purpose.
Eating healthy foods can help the body fight or prevent infection. Limiting foods that bolster bad breath can mitigate the likelihood of a tangy or pungent mouth.
We all like to share a toast during the holidays but try to limit your intake of alcoholic beverages. Likewise, acidic drinks like orange juice, coffee, and carbonated beverages can cause bad breath.
If you have symptoms of gum disease, be sure to:
Check for warning signs such as bleeding, soreness, persistent bad breath, or a sour taste in your mouth. If you notice any of these symptoms, visit your dentist.
Use a saltwater rinse twice daily. This can not only help heal gum tissues inflamed by gingivitis, but it can also reduce the presence of harmful bacteria or food particles lodged between the teeth. Add a ½ teaspoon of salt to a small glass of warm water and mix. Swish the solution around your mouth for 30 seconds, spit, and then brush your teeth.
Over-the-counter antibacterial mouthwashes are also available. Consult with your dentist for their recommendations.
