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pay taxes when it is withdrawn.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!

Annually, during the month of
July, the International Museum
of Art at the intersection of
Montana Avenue and Brown
Street displays an exhibit that is
called “Happy Birthday Amer-
ica”. The shadow-box exhibit in
the entry area of the museum
features patriotic collectible
items donated to the museum by
Leon and Shannah Blevins. The
couple appear at many events as
Uncle Sam and Aunt Sammie.
On Sunday, June 30, 2013,
from 2pm to 4pm there will be
an opening reception at the mu-
seum featuring Uncle Sam and
Aunt Sammie. Please join them
and the staff of the museum to
view the patriotic exhibit and
the many other artistic exhibits
that will be on display at the
time.
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!

SOCIAL SECURITY COLUMN

DECLARE YOUR INDEPENDENCE
WITH MY SOCIAL SECURITY
Independence Day is a good time to
declare your independence from
heavy traffic, long lines, and visits
to crowded offices by taking impor-
tant matters into your own hands.
When it comes to doing business
with Social Security, you can!
Anytime, anywhere Social Secu-
rity’s 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.
We’re 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. That’s 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!

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.

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 season’s 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 senior’s 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 doesn’t 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.

It’s 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.

Trivia:
What is the average
starting date for
triple digit
temperatures in
El Paso?
I often get calls and emails about the num-
ber of triple digit days we receive each
month for the summer. I thought this
breakdown of the numbers would be help-
ful for many of you to have. It starts with
1970 and goes to last year. We only break-
down the hottest months of the year (or
those months we typically see triple digit
temps.
You can see that June is the hottest
month of the year on average.
