Worried About Being a Bag Lady in Retirement? Terry Savage Are you worried about being a bag lady in your old age? I recently read a survey from a pres- tigious financial services firm that said 50 percent of women fear being a bag lady. Wrong. I'm guessing that figure is much higher, maybe as high as 90 percent. It's a fear most women share the fear of being dependent and alone and impover- ished in our old age. And if men were smarter, they'd worry too unless they have a spouse to take care of them! In that context, I propose a new defi- nition of wealth: Freedom from worry about money! Think about it from your personal perspective, and especially in the contest of retire- ment planning. Everyone will have a different definition of how much is "enough" to keep from awakening in the early morning hours, wondering if you will run out of money in your old age. So let me give you three simple tips to put the concept of retirement "wealth" in perspective. " When I wrote my recent book, "The Savage Number: How Much Money Do You Really Need to Retire?" I described the sophisticated "Monte Carlo" modeling process offered by certified financial planners, as well as financial firms such as Fidelity, Vanguard and T. Rowe Price, that are designed to give you an invest- ment and withdrawal plan to make your money last as long as you do. But here's an oversimplified, but stunning approach to figuring out your "number." There's pretty gen- eral agreement that with appropri- ately diversified investments, you can withdraw about 4 percent of your assets annually, and make them last through a 30-year retirement pe- riod. Now, these are very rough numbers, but let's assume that you need $100,000 a year, after tax, to main- tain your current lifestyle. In order to withdraw that much every year, you'd need savings of about $2.5 million to be able to spend $100,000 a year and make your money last your expected life- time! But, wait. If that "savings" is in a re- tirement plan, then you'll have to pay taxes when it is withdrawn. That means you'll need about $3.25 mil- lion in retirement plan savings to re- ceive $100,000 every year on net of taxes and have a pretty good chance you won't outlive your money. Of course, Social Security will con- tribute additional money, and so will any pension you have earned. But still that's a lot of money in today's dollars. And that brings up the next issue: the value of your dollar in re- tirement. Today, we enjoy very modest infla- tion. There's reason to worry about future inflation because of all the money creation recently by the Fed- eral Reserve. But let's just stick with historical averages. Over the past 70 years, the United States has had an average annual inflation rate of roughly 3 percent. Even at that low 3 percent rate infla- tion rate, the buying power of your money will be cut in half in just less than 25 years! Continues on page 4 P I C T U R E

Q: I am a widow in my late 70s and have pro- crastinated for way too long about getting my af- fairs in order. I now have a major health issue, which concerns me. I have discussed my assets, savings accounts, stocks and personal assets, but only verbally. How can I get it done in a short amount of time? Many families soon learn that after the second parent dies, WORLD WAR III often breaks out among family members. Find a reliable person through your investment sources or via your family who can process your wishes legally. It will be easier if you first make a list before your appointment. Based on your wishes, you will be offered many options and timetables. In some cases, it is better to choose percentages of who inherits what be- cause appraisal values often change. In some families, physical or mental issues may affect how you want to make your distributions. You will also want to name your executor(s), family member or other person whom you trust and be responsible for transferring your gifts and paying possible taxes. Both state and federal authorities always get the first checks. Alert your family to be patient. It often can take up to a year to get the paperwork completed, even for relatively small estates. You are wise to pro- ceed ahead now! Doug Mayberry makes the most of life in a Southern Cali- fornia retirement community. Contact him at deardoug@msn.com.

When it comes to doing business with Social Security, you can! Anytime, anywhere Social Secu- ritys website is waiting to let you take care of important matters your- self, independently, without the need to visit or call an office. All you need to do is visit www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount to set up a my Social Security ac- count so you can do business with Social Security the easiest, fastest, and most convenient way. Were only halfway through 2013 and, already, more than six million people are regis- tered for a my Social Security account. They use it to easily get information and service without needing to visit an office or make a phone call. Thats a great reason to set off some fireworks! The things you can do using your account are as varied as the menu at a Fourth of July pic- nic! For example, you can use my Social Security to obtain a copy of your Social Security Statement to check your earnings record and see estimates of the retirement, disabil- ity, and survivor benefits you and your family may be able to receive. If you are already receiving benefits, you can join the parade. We recently expanded my Social Security for those receiving benefits; now you can use your account to view, save, and print a benefit verification letter, check your benefit payment infor- mation, and even change your ad- dress and your phone number in our records. You also can start or change your direct deposit information. You can do this all from the comfort of your home. Whether you are currently getting Social Security benefits, or you are planning for that day in the future when you do, you can easily access all your important Social Security information by creating a my Social Security account. Just visit www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount. Before you go to your Independence Day picnic and fireworks, declare your independence from traffic and lines by saving a trip to the office and going online to www.socialsecurity.gov. And happy Independence Day! Continued from page 2 So your investments will have to more than keep up with inflation. That's the reason you can't simply buy a lifetime annuity with your re- tirement savings, guaranteeing you a monthly check as long as you live. That check might be enough to cover your expenses now, but will that fixed amount be able to pay for your lifestyle when costs double, simply because of inflation? Historically, over the long run, a di- versified portfolio of stocks with dividends reinvested has kept up with inflation for every 20-year pe- riod going back to 1926, according to Ibbotson market historians. And gold has kept up with inflation throughout history. That's some- thing to think about as you plan your retirement investments. While most people fear a stock market crash will devastate their re- tirement plans, the one thing that could quickly invalidate all your in- vestment planning is the need for long-term custodial care in your later years. This is the kind of care that is not covered by Medicare or Medicare supplements. If you have become almost completely impov- erished, state Medicaid programs will put you into one of their nurs- ing homes a possibility to be de- voutly avoided as boomers age and resources are strained. Despite all the bad publicity about rising prices of long term care in- surance, you owe it to yourself to purchase at least a policy that will cover a portion of your costs perhaps one to three years of care, for about $200 per day, with some inflation protection. Or you can consider one of the new "com- bined" policies that offer both long term care benefits and a death bene- fit (or cash value withdrawal) if you don't use the care benefit. You make a one-time cash deposit into the policy, leveraging your dollars to pay for care. The need for long term custodial care will become a huge issue in coming years, especially for women. If you're part of a couple, it is likely your spouse will need care first using up the family financial resources, and your energy as a caregiver. And women alone espe- cially need the resources of finding caregivers that come with an LTC insurance policy. So there you have it an honest look at the three factors women need to deal with so they don't wake up in the middle of the night worrying about money. Peace of mind about money. That's my defi- nition of wealth. And that's The Savage Truth. Terry Savage is a registered invest- ment adviser and is on the board of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

O N L Y At long, last summer is here! And that means fresh fruits and vegeta- bles straight from the garden, food co-op, roadside stand or local gro- cery. As a caregiver, you can help the senior in your life eat well, enjoy the best of the seasons bounty, and reap the benefits of healthy eating. Eating well this season is about fresh, colorful food, and on many occasions, eating out of doors with family and friends which adds to the pleasure. For older adults, there are particular benefits of healthy eating. They include increased mental acuteness, resistance to illness and disease, higher energy levels, faster recuperation times and better man- agement of chronic health problems. Eating well can also be the key to a positive outlook and staying emo- tionally balanced. MyPlate for Older Adults, developed by Tufts University researchers to replace the USDA food pyramid, continues to emphasize the impor- tance of fresh fruits and vegetables in the senior diet. Included among the recommendations of MyPlate are eating bright-colored vegetables such as carrots, zucchini, summer squash, and broccoli, and deep-col- ored fruit such as plums, berries and melon. Foods with high water con- tent such as lettuce, garden fresh tomatoes, watermelon, homemade fruit and vegetable juices are good for seniors to add hydration espe- cially during the heat of summer. Soups, such as gazpacho, which can be made from fresh vegetables and served chilled during warm weather are ideal and healthful, too. Be creative in the kitchen. Making small changes in the way you pre- pare food can often help overcome challenges to adding fresh fruits and vegetables to your seniors diet. They can help him or her enjoy meals more, and assure that he or she gets the nutrients and energy needed for healthy, active living as well. If your senior doesnt feel like eating because food no longer tastes good, you can enhance the flavor of food by cooking meals in new ways or by adding different fresh herbs such as basil, dill, thyme, mint, or chives. Be sure to check with a doc- tor or registered dietitian about foods to include or avoid. Does your senior have cardiovascu- lar disease, suffer from poor circula- tion or have challenges with eye health such as macular degeneration or cataracts? Antioxident rich fruits are plentiful this time of year and are outstanding foods for protecting car- diovascular and eye health. Continues on next page Its Summer, Seniors! Eat Fresh Fruits and Vegetables MYMATURETIMES.COM JULY 2013 PAGE 6 Continued from page 5 Blueberries, blackberries, straw- berries, mulberries, cherries, black plums and even grapes but especially fruits with dark purple pigments -- fight inflam- mation and improve blood flow and also help prevent blockages to the arteries. Super foods like spinach, the king of the green leafies, and other good greens like kale, Swiss chard, turnip, mustard, and collard greens are rich in lutein, a carotenoid compound found in colorful fruits and veg- etables that protect cells from damage. A diet rich in spinach helps shield the macula, the cen- ter of the retina, from cell dam- age that can cause both age-related macular degenera- tion and cataracts. If your senior already has macular degenera- tion, he or she should be loading up on that vegetable. Orange bell peppers are the best dietary source of the carotenoid zeaxan- thin, the other carotenoid that concentrates in the back of the eye. They have a lot of vitamin C and more zeaxanthin per mouthful that any food on the planet. Other orange vegetables such as pumpkin, squash, sweet potatoes and carrots are also chock-full of vitamin A, which boosts night vision. They also contain a carotene that helps lower the risk of cataracts. Nothing harkens us back to our youth like the smell and taste of fresh fruit pies, tarts, cobblers or crumbles. And adding fruits like peaches, mangoes and berries to smoothies or homemade ice cream is a perfect way to get cal- cium, too. Look for ways to combine foods from the different food groups in creative ways. For instance salsas or relishes made from a mixture of fresh fruits, vegetables, onions and spices are ideal accompaniments to grilled fish or meats. You can do this while continuing to eat familiar foods that reflect your cultural, ethnic or family tradi- tions. Experiment with ethnic foods, regional dishes, or vegetarian recipes. Try new recipes from friends, newspapers, magazines, television cooking shows, or cooking websites. Older adults can feel better im- mediately and stay healthy for the future by choosing healthy foods and the choice is never better than in summer. But as al- ways, before you make any di- etary changes for your senior, be sure to consult a doctor or a health care provider.
