script iconHello/Intro retirement
Return to index of stories...
Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to NH Outlook.
Retirement ! It's not what it used to be.
Gone are the days of relying on social security and company pensions to line your nest egg.
Every day, an estimated 8,000 baby-boomers turn 60.
So, what will "their" golden years be like? What will "yours" be like?
With longer lifespans and no "guaranteed" retirement income -- it's a question that keeps many people
up at night.
In this Outlook on Money: Are you prepared for Retirement?
We hear from a boomer and a young couple with kids on how they plan to get their financial houses in
order "now. to support themselves "later".

RETIREMENT PKG
Marge: You can call me anytime or anybody here they can help you.
TRK 1: 65 used to be the magic age for retirement. But, today an increasing number of workers are staying on the job well beyond that -- and not always by choice.
Faye: You know all those people bagging groceries and greeting you at Wal-Mart are not really there because it's their dream job. They're there because they need to supplement their retirement income.
TRK2: Financial planner Faye Doria says starting early is key.
thank you.you're welcome. Nice meeting you…see you again
**
TRK 3: 63-year old Margi Varnum works at the Portsmouth Fabric Co.
She always envisioned working here -- for fun - not because she had to.
But, Divorce changed the equation.
TRK: 4 / Margi has discovered what financial planners have been saying for years. If you don't start saving young, you simply won't be able to retire.
Beth: AT WHAT POINT DO YOU THINK YOU'D BE ABLE TO STOP WORKING?
Marge: I don't envision that.
FOREVER, YOU'LL BE WORKING FOREVER.
Right
margi Tape: My financial plan is to earn more money and cut my expenses.
And I'm slowly doing that because when anybody goes through a divorce there is, you know, a couple of years where you would say there's just a gush of extra expenses that you just have very little control over.
All too many workers strike out when it comes to retirement planning. While more than 1/3rd want to retire before the age of 65 - the vast majority have no idea of what they'll need to retire.
According to a study by the national retirement planning coalition - more than 40-percent of households have saved almost nothing for retirement.
TRK6: Marge is one of them.
10:22:10 Beth: Interview tape: So, for saving for retirement what are you able to do?
Margi: Not much. No, I can't. I mean, I have some IRA's. I don't know if you want figures, but that's like $9,000. And then I have about $50,000 in mutual funds. But I am going in the hole every year.
TRK7: Adding to her expenses - the new house she built which came with a
60-thousand dollar mortgage.
Beth: 10:28:03 so, you're looking at this as equity,
An investment.
Yes.
TRK8: If Margi wants to retire.
Faye TAPE: 14:34:39 She probably has to sell her house, or she has to take in a roommate, or she had to do something. The house is a real luxury for her and her financial situation.
BETH/Margi tape:
You could walk away from this at some point.
19:28:15 Yeah but I want to live here at least a few more years.a nd laughs I love my little house 19:28:20
TRK9: Margi is relying on skills she's learned as a homemaker to help pay the bills.
** Beth: Is sewing a money maker for you?
10:56:09 Margi: teaching is …I have just started trying to do sewing for other people.
TRK10: She also does weaving.
11:07:02 I can do 4 scarves in a day 11:07:02 what you charge would it pay…it does pay for my time, pays for materials.not a high amount.but don't have to drive anywhere. 11:07:23
11:08:01 with the weaving, the sewing, even the teaching sewing its not regular its chancey.
11:08:47 I need a regular paycheck and these are supplemental.
TRK11: And she needs a job with BENEFITS.
10:26:12 Beth: DO YOU HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE?
No, and um, the only thing I can do is try to stay healthy and take care of myself because nobody else is. And there's no way that I can afford it. / As I said, two years ago, because of my age, 5 thousand dollar high deductable cost $9,000 a year. And that's more than half my income.
Faye tape: Beth: Margi, NOW WHAT KIND OF POSITION IS SHE IN TO RETIRE?
14:33:23
faye: She's probably not going to have much of a retirement. She's probably going to have a working retirement where she's able to work at thing she enjoys, but she going to have to have that income to supplement her social security.
It's very unlikely that's she's going to stop working in the next five or ten years.
TRK12: When it comes to retirement planning -- Not only do workers NOT start Early ENUF - they fail to realize they could outlive their money.

FAYE: In fact the demographers tell us financial planners that we should be planning for people to be living to 110 and 120. And your eyes went wide and that's the common response, people say that's just not going to happen. Well the truth is that if there's a couple, and they're both alive at seventy, there's a 25% chance each of them will be alive at ninety, which means there's a 50% chance one of them will still be around at ninety and so, people are living longer
Beth: Interview tape 10:31:03 Did financial planner tell you what to do?
10:31:03 Margi: she said you need to get better job, earn more money…keep looking you need to earn more money that's what you need laughs 10:31:16 **
10:31:29 interview tape: When you think about retirment: is social security in picture?
No, not a great deal and its more advantageous to wait til 66 to collect it. …there isn't a great deal of social security there:54 And that's why I'm going to work and laughs 10:31:59 And its scarry !! 10:32:06
Dip to Black???
=====================================
12:25:43 do you want more?
TRK1: Carolyn and Evan Karatsaz of Madbury are in their mid-30's with
2 children: 5-year-old Nico and 2-year old Ellie.
Retirement is decades away - but, they've already asked themselves that all important FIRST question:
Interview Tape / 12:48:38 How do you envision your retirement years.
12:48:40 smile, differently. I think we had done some financial planning check list and you go thru and check out top 5 things you want in retirement and we had some things that were different…some the same. Mine had a lot to do with rest and relaxation and mine had to with kind of security and travel 12:49:05
TRK2: Now, how do you get there.
12:45:30 We have opened up traditional iras - we've been kind of evaluating whether or not what we're investing is sound investment. - or will get us where we want to be when we're ready to retire.
12:46:38 I had a 401B account, I was a teacher so I had some things that I was already investing in, and you as well you had a 401 k, yeah, I rolled it into another IRA, yup
TRK3: Evan now works for a web-based design software company - which has benefits but, no retirement plan. As for automatic savings?
12:47:03 Evan COVER OFFICE / we've had some type of investment - our problems is we haven't had a regular system of contribution.
12:47:28 we know we should be contributing x amount a month we have to remember.too much room for that to break down.
TRK4: Financial planners say there are several options for the self employed
Looking to save for retirement.
14:46:02
There's a SEP, which is simplified employee pension plan, which for these purposes you're both employer and employee. And there's also a simple which works better for some situations. And their tax adviser or financial planner can help them think through the pros and cons of which to do. They can do that plus an IRA. So they have the ability to put away at least fourteen thousand a year if they're self-employed, on a tax advantage basis, which they cant say that there's nothing there.
TRK5: For everyone else.
Beth: the smartest thing you can do Now -- to prepare for later:
14:45:16 Beth Question on Faye Tape
To start maximizing you 401k plan,/ or if you don't even contribute to it at least sign up and put in two percent of your pay, four percent of your pay. Some percent of your pay. And if you don't have a retirement plan at work then you really need to at least fund your individual retirement account every year, and you need to do more than that, but that's the place to start, is to start.
TRK6: Like many young parents Evan and Carolyn have a lot of demands on their money. Financial planners say the biggest mistake young families make is taking on too much debt.
14:43:04: faye tape: FAYE
they've got too much house, they've got too much car, they've got too much stuff, they cant say no to anything, they really think that they can buy it all and pay it all off. And the reality is that they've just obligating their future income.
14:39: 07: BETH: FAYE TAPE: is the advice you give to someone like Margi different that what you would give a younger couple with kids?
14:39:38… NO. M y advice is almost always that you need to save money, that you need to cut expenses, that you need to be saving 20%.
12:51:02 Interview Tape Carolyn: for ourselves, masters both have debts before we can start investing agressivley…we're at happy medium,where we're trying to pay off debt get it under control move forward with investing so we're kind of between both right now 12:51:33
12:55:30 /Interview tape: Beth: What percentage of your income would you say you're saving?
Evan: It's under 10- somewhere between 5 and 10 right now, a lot of extra income, paying down credit card and school loans, if we had put that towards retirement we'd be ahead of the game right now. 12:56:00
TRK7: Like many young families they have competing financial goals.
Saving for college and saving for Retirement.
12:52:21 Interview tape Beth: Whats more a priority saving for college or saving for retirement. Even split doing both probably equally well or poorly
TRK8: What's more important:
14:43:43
Retirement, absolutely. You can borrow to got to college, the kids can work, the kids can get loans and scholarships, and do co-op programs and all kinds of things, but nobody's going to let you do that for retirement. Nobody's going to let you borrow for your retirement, nobody's going to give you a scholarship for retirement. So you really need to do retirement first, take care of yourself, and then help your children to the extent that you can.
FAYE TAPE: 14:48:47
Beth: IS THERE A WAY TO CALCULATE HOW MUCH MONEY YOU NEED TO ACCUMULATE TO RETIRE?
Yes there is, you probably need 25 to 30 times your current salary saved to retire. So if you make fifty thousand a year, you probably need a million, five, put away for retirement.
TRK9: It may sound daunting - but it's achievable.
14:49:42
Faye Tape: It's absolutely achievable. I've had every all kinds of people come in, blue collar workers come in in their 60s, who have never made fifty thousand a year, and they've got a million dollars in their retirement accounts, plus probably a little bit of a company pension. So it's absolutely doable.
13:06:08 Beth/ Interview tape: are you optimistic about retirement and meeting your goals. Yeah , I think so.,
TRK: Getting the help of a financial planner was key. A reality check of sorts.
13:00:19 A few years ago I would have said we were behind the curve. But now I feel we have a better sense based on our goals what we need to do:29
13:06:46 We know we should have started early.we did some investing didn't totally miss the boat, but we weren't contributing on a regular basis and that's where we lost out 13:07:02
13:07:18 CAROLYN TAPE 2:
I think for Nico and Ellie I think for them we would encourage them to start early….
13:07:18 okay you've reached 30.now you should probably think about retirement however small it is so it can start working for them.:41
Beth: So things are looking good…I think so…we'll see…and laughs.

The key to a comfortable retirement is planning in advance.
Here with some advice on that front: Jill Boynton, a Certified Financial Planner with Cornerstone Financial Planning in Newington.
Q More than HALF of workers polled say the're BEHIND in Planning and Saving for retirement.
HIGH EXPENSES was cited as the major reason. Are their Strategies to make up for LOST TIME???
BETH" It's been said that MOST people spend more time planning a 2 week VACATION than they do their FINANCES.
Given that -- You've come up with a Retirement checklist -- steps EVERYONE should use. Let's go thru them.
1. Establish a spending plan
2. Save 10-20% of income
3. Maximize contributions to retirement plans
4. Take advantage of your company match
5. Diversify your investments
6. Pay credit cards in full each month
=======
bETH: We know --Not starting early enough is a major mistake -- but, Tom Sedoric with AG Edwards says
failure to keep track of your investments is another common blunder.
TAG: In order to know what you can count on for Retirment -- you need to know how much money you actually have.
=========
Q SAFE to say you Need the GROWTH Power of stocks -- to bulk up savings -- make money last a lifetime.
** Are Stocks still the best performing investment vehicle for the long haul.
** Putting your money in an Index Fund: A good idea?
**know what your investments are and what they're costing you.
** So --Workers who've changed jobs frequently -- need to stay on top of retirement plans & pensions?
Q For most younger workers- PENSIONS- are not in the picture. But, for those who DO have Pensions
& worry about the money Not being there when they retire -- What should they be doing ?
Q On average 20% of retireee income will be spent on health care.
How can you PREPARE for that EXPENSE?
Q When does Long term care insurance make sense -- What about DISABILITY insurance?
Is it Safe to say --
Q Women are particularly vulnerable. Many will face a loss of a spouse, or divorce.
What should THEY be doing?
** The longer you wait to apply for social security == the higher the annual benefit??
Q What do you need to be doing in your 30's -- what about your 50's. DIFFERENT.
Q What sources should you rely on -- If you own your home will you need less income
END: Bottom Line: You need to take responsiblity for your own retirement plan. No one is going to take care of it for you. It's a different retirement world. What you do now -- will make a difference.

OUTLOOK ON MONEY: RETIREMENT
The magic age for retirement used to be 65. However, an increasing number of workers are staying on the job well beyond that age, and not always by choice. That's often because they didn't plan or invest for their golden years. In this episode of our Outlook on Money series, we look at planning for retirement. NH Outlook host Beth Carroll talks to the experts and profiles several people in different stages of life and retirement planning.

TOWN MEETING
All over New England this month, citizens gathered in their local town hall meeting space or school gymnasium to debate issues, in a "direct democracy" tradition that goes back to colonial times. Is it still a valid form of local government? NH Outlook's Richard Ager goes to Peterborough to show us the process.
Guest: Doug Hall, town moderator and co-director of the NH Institute for Policy Studies.

IMPROVING PUBLIC LIFE: A CONVERSATION WITH RICHARD HARWOOD
Richard Harwood has been described as one of the most pioneering thinkers of our time. The president of the Harwood Institute of Public Innovation recently visited Saint Anselm College in Manchester where he talked with NH Outlook's Phil Vaughn about his new book, Hope Unraveled: The People's Retreat and Our Way Back. He talks about the pressing need to turn consumers back into citizens and provides suggestions for getting there.

NH ORIGINALS: STEVE BARBA
This week Innkeeper Emeritus, Steve Barba was honored by his peers for his years of service to the hospitality industry. Barba worked for 47 years at The Balsams Resort in Dixville Notch, going from teenage golf caddy to president of the company. In that time, he played a key role in reviving the grand hotel. Today, The Balsams is a top-notch destination for vacationers from around the world. And, every four years, it's the place where the first votes are cast in the "First in the Nation" presidential primary. As we continue our New Hampshire Originals series, NH Outlook's Richard Ager visits with Barba as he prepares for the next chapter in his life.

Dublin resident Jack Kraichnan is a poet and environmentalist who has written a book of poetry entitled Winter to Winter, an almanac in haiku form that follows the drama of seasonal change in the Monadnock foothills. Most of the poems were written during one year of daily five mile walks through the eastern foothills of Mt. Monadnock. NH Outlook's Chip Neal introduces us to Kraichnan, and tries his hand at haiku.
