Tom’s Tip:
Now this is right up my alley - Ocean County has a Veterans Service Bureau, located on the first floor of the Ocean County One-Stop Center, 1027 Hooper Avenue, Toms River, they provide numerous services to veterans, widows and families of veterans.
Services include initiating and filing veteran’s claims with both the state and federal government. Filing for death benefits, filing for burial benefits and filing for other entitlements.
The Veterans Service Bureau also facilitates transportation to V.A. medical centers, lends wheelchairs and walkers to disabled veterans and serves as a referral source for mental health, medical and social service agencies.
Contact the Ocean County Veterans Service Bureau at (732) 929-2096, or visit the Ocean County One-Stop Center for more information.
This isn’t charity mates. You’ve earned this!
Smart Home SELLER tip:
Here are the important things to think about when gauging your need to sell your home:

1. Define your goals for the next 5-10 years.

2. Weigh the pros and cons of selling.

3. Figure out if you can afford to sell, move and buy a new home. Calculate your home equity.

4. Research the local housing market.

5. Consider remodeling the home to fit your needs.

6. Weigh the pros and cons of renting out your home.

Everyone tries to define this thing called Character. It's not hard. Character is doing what's right when nobody's looking.
