Will You Be Able to Retire When
-Stocks - Bonds - CD’s - IRA’s - RolloversYou Want?

-Long Term Care Insurancethe past few years, some Americans
are nervous about their ability to retire
Bob Borlik
comfortably — or even retire at all.
Financial Advisor
Consider these somewhat sobering
statistics:
618 Roosevelt Road
•Almost half of American workers
Walkerton, IN
report being “not too confident” or
Phone 574-586-7162
“not at all confident” about being able
to afford a comfortable retirement,
Member SIPC
according to the Employee Benefit
www.edwardjones.com
Research Institute’s 2013 Retirement
Confidence Survey. The 28 percent who say they are “not at all” confident is the highest level recorded in the 23
years of this survey.
•Between 2010 and 2012, the percentage of people 45 to 60 who planned to delay retirement rose to 62 percent
from 42 percent, according to the Conference Board, a non-profit business membership and research organization.
If you’re in either of these groups — that is, if you’re concerned about having enough resources to enjoy your retirement years or you’re afraid that you’ll have to work longer than you anticipated — what can you do to possibly
alleviate your worries?
Your first step is to get specific about your retirement goals. Have you set a target date for your retirement yet? If
so, how many years until you reach this date?
Once you know when you want to retire, you’ll need to come up with some sort of “price tag” for your retirement
years. By taking into account your hoped-for lifestyle and your projected longevity, you should be able to develop
a reasonably good estimate of how much money you’ll need as a retiree. You may find it helpful to work with a
financial professional — someone with the tools and experience to plug in all the variables needed to calculate your
retirement expenses.
Next, review your retirement savings vehicles, such as your 401(k) and IRA. Are you contributing as much as you
can afford to these accounts? Are you increasing your contributions when your salary rises? Within these vehicles,
are you choosing an investment mix that can offer the growth you’ll need to accumulate a sufficient level of retirement savings?
Even after you’ve “maxed out” on your IRA and 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan, you can find
other tax-advantaged vehicles in which to invest for retirement. Again, your financial advisor can help you evaluate
the ones that may be suitable for your needs.
Still, even after maximizing your investments, you may come up short of what you’ll need, given your desired
retirement date. Consequently, you may need to consider working a couple of extra years. If you like your career,
you may find that moving out your retirement date isn’t so bad — you’ll bring in more earned income and you may
be able to delay taking Social Security, which would eventually result in bigger monthly checks. Plus, you could
postpone your withdrawals from your 401(k) and IRA, giving these accounts more time in which to potentially
grow. (Keep in mind, though, that once you turn 70-1/2, you’ll have to start taking money from your 401(k) and
your traditional IRA.)
In any case, do what you can to retire when you want — but be flexible enough in your thinking so that you won’t
be shocked or dismayed if you need to slightly extend your working years. By “covering your bases” in this way,
you can be ready for whatever comes your way.

What Does
Government
Shutdown Mean to
Investors?
WALKERTON AREA SHOPPER October 7, 2013 3
As you’re well aware, a partial
government shutdown began
on Oct. 1. No matter what one’s
views are on the political issues
that led to this event, it’s probably fair to say that a shutdown is not particularly good news, on many fronts. Although essential services
will continue, including Social Security and Medicare payments, other governmental functions will be
disrupted, and hundreds of thousands of workers will be furloughed. So, as a citizen, you may well have
concerns about the shutdown. But how will the shutdown affect you as an investor?
First of all, you may want to take to heart the slogan popularized by the British in World War II: “Keep
calm and carry on.” You don’t need to panic, nor do you need to make massive changes to your investment
portfolio or even take a “time out” from investing. It’s highly likely that, like all political/economic traumas
in the past, this one, too, shall pass.
To gain some perspective, you might be interested in knowing that the current situation is not unique.
We’ve had 17 government shutdowns in the past, most recently in 1996. And the overall effect of these
shutdowns on the financial markets has not been particularly negative. Stocks dropped during nine of these
shutdowns and rose during the other eight. Once the shutdowns ended, the average stock market gain was
2.5% over the following three months and 13.3% over the following 12 months, according to an analysis of
the S & P 500 stock market index.
Of course, as you’ve no doubt heard, “past performance cannot guarantee future results,” so you shouldn’t
necessarily expect the market to turn in similar results once this current shutdown is over. Nonetheless,
the history of the market’s performance following government shutdowns does tell us something about the
tremendous ability of the financial markets to absorb short-term crises — and then move on.
This isn’t to say that you won’t see some volatility in the days and weeks ahead if the shutdown continues
for a while. The financial markets do not like uncertainty, and while some of this uncertainty may already
have been “factored in” during the past few weeks, as the possibility of a shutdown increased, we may still
see some significant price gyrations.
Try not to overreact to these price swings, if they do occur. If you feel you must do something with regard
to your investments, why not take this opportunity to look over your long-term strategy to make sure it’s
still properly aligned with your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon? Over time, your personal situation
can change in many ways, so it’s always a good idea to review your investment portfolio, and to make those
changes that can help you continue making progress toward your objectives, such as a comfortable retirement.
Furthermore, if we do see some price declines, you may well be presented with the opportunity to buy quality investments at good prices, so stay alert for these possibilities.
Above all else, don’t let the headlines of today scare you away from investing for tomorrow. With patience,
discipline and the ability to maintain a long-term perspective in spite of short-term events, you can develop
good investment habits that will serve you well for a lifetime.
