MAKING ENDS MEET
During these financially troubling times it pays to stop and ask, “Where is my spendable income going?” If your spending regularly exceeds your income it may pay to do an “annual or monthly expense analysis”. For this purpose we have devised an expense analysis form that will open your eyes to where your money is going. Completing the analysis can display fixed and discretionary expenses, and point to adjustments that can help “Make Ends Meet”.
To receive a copy of the form via e-mail send your name and e-mail address to Senior Connections, SENIORCONNECTIONS116@GMAIL.COM. You can also get a copy from the reference desk at the Farmingdale Library.
Senior Connections is available at the library every Tuesday and Thursday from 10:00 AM to Noon to answer any questions you might have.

WELCOME TO SENIOR CONNECTIONS

Welcome to our new blog.

We are senior volunteers representing Senior Connections at the Farmingdale Public Library. The purpose of this blog is to create an interactive environment to address senior concerns and issues. Our goal is to enhance the quality of life for senior citizens in their home communities by providing access to information and resources, and counseling service, when appropriate. This linkage pertains to federal, state, and local programs, regulations and services affecting seniors, such as :

Partial Tax Exemption
Enhanced STAR
Medicare
EPIC
Assisted Living
Community services, etc.

We would also be glad to address questions of a general nature commensurate with our backgrounds and knowledge.

We can be reached in three ways:

  • IN PERSON
