Delaware State University's College of Education, Health & Public Policy will host a Weight Management Strategies Conference on April 5-6 in the Martin Luther King Jr. Student Center.
Under the theme of "Obesity doesn't have to be a Delaware Epidemic," the conference will include health care professionals, community advocates, service providers and members of the public for an educational event that will focus on strategies for overcoming the First State's obesity problem.
The conference is taking place during National Public Health Week.
In 2011, about 29 percent of adults in Delaware were obese, according to a study by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Trust for America's Health. This earns the state 19th place among all states and Washington, D.C., for the percentage of obese adults, those with a body mass index of 30 or higher, in a report from the two organizations called "F as in Fat: How Obesity Threatens America's Future 2012."
According to the study, if the state's obesity rate continues on its current path, 65 percent of Delaware adults will be obese by 2030, earning the First State third place for the highest obesity rate.
Dr. Frederick K. Asinor, dean of DSU's College of Education, Health and Public Policy, says that the level of obesity in Delaware is unacceptable because this is a disease that something can be done about.
"It is a consequence of our choices. And many of those choices are made passively, in a comfortable but rigor-free environment," Dr. Asinor said. "So we can prevent obesity by excising and reducing our fat, sugar and salt intake knowing that these are products that are linked directly to obesity, heart disease, cancer and stroke, among other killer diseases."
The conference is designed to facilitate the creation and the implementation of weight management strategies for communities, companies or organizations that reduce the incidence and prevalence of obesity.
The conference will include as a keynote speaker Dr. Calvin B. Johnson, founder and president of the Altre Strategic Solutions Group, LLC, and the 24th Secretary for Health of Pennsylvania, as well as special guest of honor Dr. J Nadine Gracia, deputy assistant secretary for Minority Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The conference will also feature a number of health and social work professionals from the Mid-Atlantic Region, including:
Hank Cardello – director of Obesity Solutions, Hudson Institute
Dr. Donna M. Christensen –member of the U.S. House of Representatives (U.S. Virgin Islands), Congressional Black Caucus' Health Braintrust
Dr. Jodi Dampeer-Moore – associate professor, DSU Dept. of Nursing
Dr. Susan M. Gross – research associate, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
Dr. Erica M. Jackson – associate professor, DSU Dept. of Public & Allied Health Sciences
Dr. Tina L. Jordan – professor, DSU Dept. of Social Work
Rich Killingworth – chief of Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, Del. Division of Public Health
Dr. Giridhar Mallya – director of Policy and Planning, Philadelphia Dept. of Health
Megan A. Maloney – visiting professor of movement science, DSU Dept. of Public & Allied Health Sciences
Mary Kate Mouser – executive director, Nemours Health and Prevention Services
Terry M. Murphy – president and CEO, Bayhealth Medical Center
Dr. Karyl Thomas Rattay – director of the Del. Division of Public Health
Dr. Margo Wooten – director of Nutrition Policy, Center for Science in the Public Interest

50 New Year's Resolution Eats
If you're not quite ready to say goodbye to animal protein but still want to try working more meatless meals into your regular routine, meat substitute ingredients, like veggie burger patties or veggie crumbles (used in this lasagna recipe), are a good place to start. Though meatless, they're still processed foods, so it's good to be mindful of how much you're consuming. In moderation meat substitute products can be a great way to stay away from real meat but still get some of its texture and flavor into your dish.
Recipe: Vegetarian Lasagna
Tofu is a go-to source of protein for many vegetarians, or those just looking to replace meat in some of their meals. A soy-based product, tofu often comes in soft, firm, and extra-firm varieties. Firm and extra-firm work well in stir-fries, like this one, because the tofu will hold up to high heat and keep its shape. The soft type works well for smoothies, soups, and desserts. Because tofu itself is so mild, it easily absorbs the taste and aroma of whatever spices, marinades, and other flavorful ingredients you choose to cook it with. Pressing firm tofu, as this recipe calls for, compresses it and rids it of excess water, giving it an even more satisfying texture.
Recipe: Three-Pea, Cashew, and Tofu Stir-Fry

Gordon,Your pizza both looks and sounds delicious. I have been meaning to try a clone of a California Pizza Kitchen Thai Chicken Pizza but I think I like your version better. In fact, your crust looks a lot like the crusts shown in the CPKI pizza cookbook. I think you should write up your pizza again and post it in the California Style board, along with the dough recipe you used and how you baked the pizza. That way, your fine work will get more attention and visibility than in this thread. Peter

NYPA President Zeltmann Re-Elected EPRI Chairman
Stephen Shoenholz
Printer-Friendly Version
May 31, 2005
ALBANY—Eugene W. Zeltmann, president and chief
executive officer of the New York Power Authority, has been re-elected
to a second one-year term as chairman of the Electric Power Research
Institute (EPRI), the power industry's international research and
technology organization.
Zeltmann's term on EPRI's 32-member Board of
Directors, which began in 2001, was also extended for a year. He was
originally nominated to the board by the American Public Power
Association and occupies a seat designated for the public-power sector.
"I look forward to continuing my work with EPRI at
a time of critical importance for the electric power industry in this
country and worldwide," Zeltmann said. "The challenge of balancing
growing energy needs and environmental concerns has never been greater.
EPRI is uniquely positioned to meet that challenge and to provide major
benefits to the industry and to society."
EPRI members account for more than 90 percent of the
electricity produced in the United States.
Zeltmann's tenure as chairman has been marked by a
number of major EPRI initiatives, including programs to create a more
reliable and versatile power transmission system by using advanced
computer technology and to promote coal gasification and other
technologies that will combat global warming.
In his full-time post at the Power Authority, the
nation's largest state-owned electric utility, Zeltmann has presided
over various collaborative efforts with EPRI. These have included
installation at the Authority's Marcy Substation near Utica of a
convertible static compensator, the world's most advanced device for
controlling voltage and power flows on transmission lines.
The two organizations also worked together to
develop a pioneering system for instantly detecting problems in
generators at hydroelectric plants. They are now participating in a
program to demonstrate DaimlerChrysler's Sprinter van, a hybrid utility
vehicle that will plug into the power grid and will use electricity to
run, emission-free, for up to 20 miles between battery charges.
In addition to serving as EPRI chairman, Zeltmann is
co-chairman of the Electric Drive Transportation Association and vice
chairman of the Large Public Power Council, an organization of the
nation's largest public power utilities.
Zeltmann came to the Power Authority in 1997 as
president and chief operating officer and was named to his current
position in 2002. He previously had been appointed in 1995 by Gov.
George E. Pataki to serve as a commissioner of the New York State Public
Service Commission and was named the PSC's deputy chairman the following
In more than 25 years as an executive with the
General Electric Co., Zeltmann served in senior management positions
related to energy and environmental trade issues, market-development and
communications programs, and operational and environmental planning.
He graduated with honors from Beloit College and
earned a master of arts degree and doctorate from Johns Hopkins
University in physical chemistry.
Zeltmann and his wife, Susan, have two children,
Laura and John, and live in Clifton Park, N.Y.

I have a Composite Acoustics Cargo guitar with a Fishman Matrix VT. I also have a Martin D-28CW which is an absolute monster, into which I had an Anthem installed. I'm making this post because my Martin with the Anthem generates a MUCH quieter signal into my pre than the Cargo with the Fishman.
When I run the Fishman into my pre (a Venue DI), I set the pre's gain to about 3.5 to just avoid clipping (per the Venue DI's lights) with the Fishman's volume pegged. But when I swap out the guitar and use the D-28 and the Anthem (with volume pegged and a fresh battery, battery check shows five lights), I have to turn the Venue DI's gain all the way up.
Now when I do it, the Anthem sounds awesome. Even with the Anthem set to max mic mode I get excellent feedback rejection onstage. But I'm surprised the signal from the Fishman is so much hotter than the signal from the Anthem.
The biggest issue is that I have to reach down and turn that gain knob when I switch guitars, I can't just whack the A/B and go. Of course I could turn down the Fishman's volume but it seems odd to throw away good signal and replace it with more pre; I'd rather get the Anthem UP than turn the Fishman DOWN, if only because I've been taught to send all the signal down a wire I can to increase S/N.
I have done the obvious. Good batteries in both. Same cable in both instances, no A/B box. I've tried both Phase positions, and different mixes of mic/element, and all along the volume's travel. And as I said, the Anthem sounds great (I've had compliments on it). But is it intended to be so much quieter than the Fishman Matrix VT?
Thanks for any feedback!!

Topic: Startup vs BigCo salaries
I hope someone can enlighten me. I currently work in a consulting company doing Java development and I'm paid about market rate for a guy with 3 years of experience. Is it generally expected that working for a startup means I'll take a pay cut? I understand there are other means of compensation like equity, vacation etc, but I'm looking for a very general statement regarding salary expectations. I ask because they e-mailed asking what my salary expectations are and this is my first experience with a startup.

Speech Video
Opening the First Ordinary Session of the 15th Parliament
Amman, Jordan
2 December 2007
(Translated from Arabic)
Prayers and peace be upon our master Muhammad, the honest Arab Hashemite Prophet,
Honourable Senators,Honourable Deputies,
Peace, God's mercy and blessings be upon you,
In the name of God, and with His blessing, we inaugurate the first ordinary session of the Fifteenth Parliament, with hope and optimism in this new assembly – a collection of many qualified Jordanians who have been elected for the first time. We hope they will be a qualitative addition that enriches the work of this parliament, enhancing its ability to serve and achieve through its work with the executive authority in the spirit of unity, with faith in the homeland's progress and enthusiasm to participate and a sincere desire to serve.
Honourable Senators,
Honourable Deputies,
The coming stage of dear Jordan's march is a continuation of the process of building, reform and modernisation. It is of utmost importance because it is full of challenges and requirements that should be realised. This calls for work, over the next four years, in the spirit of partnership, cooperation and complementarity between the legislative and executive authorities, and in accordance with the principle of majority rule with respect for the opinion of the minority within the framework of the Constitution, in both letter and spirit.
Public service allows no room for personal interests, or interests that are related to district, party or narrow tribal affiliation. The interest of the homeland and its citizens supersedes all differences and considerations. Hence, our ultimate goals should define the relationship between the two authorities: realising the biggest share of public interest, facing up to all challenges, whether political, economic or social, providing a decent life for citizens and realising comprehensive development that guarantees a bright future for this homeland.
The Constitution identified the duties and responsibilities of both authorities, the executive and the legislative, and defined the mechanism and nature of their relationship in order that executive policies and legislative process would constitute a circle of homogenised and integrated work, while consolidating the executive authority's right to realise the people's aspirations in various fields and the legislative authority's right to monitor and hold accountable.
Honourable Senators,
Honourable Deputies,
Our vision for Jordan's future is clear and ambitious; its pillar is comprehensive reform and modernisation - political, economic and social - for the sake of attaining the ultimate goal: improving citizens' standard of living and providing the means for a decent life to every Jordanian family. This is the duty of all: myself, the government and you, the two houses of parliament. I repeat: what is required is to improve the citizen's standard of living. This for us is a principle to which we are committed in governance and administration, and not just a slogan that some reiterate to achieve interim or momentary goals.
When talking about political reform, the first thing that we want to emphasise is the importance of entrenching awareness of democratic culture, and developing political parties that enable Jordanian citizens' real participation in decision-making, provided that intentions are loyal to the homeland and to the preservation and defence of our immutable national principles, and not subject to outside agendas. This demands the entrenchment of the principles of justice, equality and equal opportunity, on the basis of merit, rooting these principles and concepts in our national culture and transforming them from the realm of mere talk into reality of work, away from doubting and posturing.
As for our economy, one of the most important priorities is increasing the economic growth rate, enhancing financial and monetary stability, handling the debt problem, rationalising expenditure, boosting our self-reliance, enhancing the role of the private sector in national development and building on the achievements that have been realised by Jordan in the signing of Arab, regional and international economic agreements, so that Jordan becomes an economic centre attractive to investors.
Our vision of social life is focused on increasing Jordanian citizens' income, in all social sectors, in a way that ensures a decent living for every Jordanian family. We also must seek the just distribution of development returns through economic projects that take into consideration the geography and demographics and the particularities of each governorate. We are additionally keen to provide every citizen with a good level of basic services and bridge the gap in the standard of health and education services and infrastructure between the capital and rural areas, the Badia and refugee camps.
I have noted that in years past, the government has not implemented all the projects and plans required of them, in spite of the availability of the necessary funding for these projects. On the other hand, the legislature hampered the government's work by delaying the endorsement of requisite legislation. I am confident that partnership between your honourable assembly and the government can guarantee the realisation of the achievements to which we aspire for the future of Jordan.
We realise that promoting Jordan, enabling Jordanian citizens' participation in development and improving their standard of living requires numerous laws, which should be passed to implement the necessary policies and plans to realise the desired development. Primary among these is legislation related to enhancing transparency and accountability, such as a law concerning a national ombudsman, legislation related to human rights, the rights of women and children, the protection of youth and adolescents and to encouraging investment and tax reform. Of equal importance are executive assignments in a number of sectors - political, economic and social - to which the government has committed to planning and implementing in the best possible manner. Here, we respect and appreciate parliament's role in monitoring the government, and following up its work in implementing projects, plans and the National Agenda.
Honourable Senators,
Honourable Deputies,
My government is committed to working, over the coming months, on providing a social safety net that protects the poor and expanding health insurance coverage. The quality of food products, drugs and water must be actively monitored to preserve citizens' health and safety. In addition to the right to health and safety, citizens have a right to learning and education, to be equipped with knowledge, experience and skills that qualify them to enter the job market.
I directed my government to make the year 2008, with God's permission, the year of housing projects, so that those of limited income, public service employees, members of the armed forces and the security institutions will enjoy descent housing, in appreciation of their contributions to building the homeland and protecting its achievements.
From this democratic forum, I call on the legislative and executive authorities to start a positive dialogue on the Landlords and Tenants Law to come up with practical solutions that take into consideration the realisation of social security, justice, and the interests of all, whether they are landlords or tenants.
We have also made a strategic choice to diversify our energy resources and rationalise consumption so that neither citizens nor the homeland will remain hostage to the fluctuation of oil prices on the international market.
Honourable Senators,
Honourable Deputies,
Justice is the base of governance. We therefore emphasise that we will continue to enhance the independence of the judiciary, to realise justice among people and the rule of law for all, without exception.
And because youth are the future of Jordan, we emphasise that we will continue to support them and open doors for their capabilities and abilities to enhance their participation in public life, and enable them to participate in building their homeland.
As for the freedom of the press and information, we do assert, from this house of democracy, our commitment to preserve and protect this freedom, so that the media will be the monitor's eye that uncovers truth on professional and objective basis, and in the spirit of responsible freedom. This is on condition that it is Jordanian in its belonging and nationalist in its goals and message. The Constitution guarantees the freedom of opinion and expression. It is not acceptable to send a journalist to prison for a difference in opinion on a public issue, as long as this opinion does not entail abusing the rights of others, their freedoms, honour or dignity.
Our armed forces and the security institutions remain the symbol of the power, security and stability of this nation. They protect its progress and achievements, and they are partners in the development process. We will do our utmost to continue modernising their capabilities and providing them with all that they need in terms of most up-to-date weapons, training and preparedness, so that they remain, as they have always been, a symbol of efficiency and capability and an outstanding example in this regard.
Honourable Senators,
Honourable Deputies,
A strong, invincible and prosperous Jordan, is a Jordan that is able to support and stand by our brothers, whether in Palestine or Iraq. From this forum, and from this magnanimous parliament, we call on them, in the name of brotherhood and the bonds of religion and nationalism, to overcome their differences, unite their ranks against sedition and embrace dialogue as a means to reach mutual understanding and settle disputes.
Concerning the peace process in the region, Jordan adheres to the option of a just comprehensive peace, for which the late, great King Hussein, may God bless his soul, worked, so that the peoples of the region and generations to come would enjoy security and stability, strangers to the calamities of conflict and war and their destructive outcomes.
Hence, we emphatically tell Israel that ending the occupation of Arab and Palestinian lands, withdrawing there from and implementing legitimate international resolutions are the only way to realise just, permanent and comprehensive peace, and to guarantee a safe future for the region's peoples and its coming generations. We also say to the Palestinians that strength is in unity and weakness in disunity; so, unite your ranks and seize the available opportunity to realise peace and establish your independent state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Honourable Senators,
Honourable Deputies,
Jordan is determined to carry on with its legitimate and historic role to confront the campaign of distortion being waged against our honourable religion by rejecting extremism, violence, and takfiri thought. We will continue to convey the true principles of Islam, the religion of moderation and tolerance. God Almighty says in the Holy Quran: "Thus have we made of you a nation justly balanced, that ye might be witnesses over the nations."
We will stand up to anybody who tries to abduct our religion or to monopolise Fatwa for political reasons, for the purpose of using religion as a tool to subdue others for the sake of special or suspicious agendas. We will activate the role of historic religious institutions and enable trusted scholars to play a role in activating the principle of Ijtihad and Fatwa to cope with contemporary social, political, intellectual and scientific developments, and to guide the nation's conscience and human culture, while preserving the essence of our religious belief and the great message of our religion.
Honourable Senators,
Honourable Deputies,
The responsibility you shoulder is great: public service is about answering a call to duty and assuming responsibility. It is not just about gaining prestige. You have ahead of you four years of work, and they are enough to achieve much. We entrust you with this responsibility and you are worthy, God willing, of this trust. Beloved Jordan deserves that we all work for it with utmost loyalty and a sense of belonging.
I ask God the Sublime to grant us all success in serving this homeland, and realising the ambitions of our good giving people.
Peace, God's mercy and blessings be upon you.

CHC Uses Aircraft Orders to Build Maintenance Capability
CHC Helicopter Corp. is using its latest orders for new aircraft as leverage to build the overhaul and maintenance capability of its Heli-One unit. The Vancouver, B.C. operator's worldwide helicopter support division has ordered 12 new S-92s and 13 new AW139s, many of which CHC says are committed to customer contracts. In exchange, Heli-One gains the right to complete post-delivery modifications on Sikorsky Aircraft S-76s owned or operated by CHC and third parties and overhaul and repair the main, tail and intermediate rotor transmissions of CHC S-92s. It also gains the right to complete post-delivery mods on CHC AgustaWestland AW139s. If Heli-One meets certain requirements, it could extend its completions and overhaul work to aircraft owned or operated by third parties and to CHC's GE CT7-8A (on the S-92) and Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6C-67Cs (on the AW139).

Skip to comments.The Biggest Retirement Myth Ever Told
Posted on 05/03/2013 7:05:30 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
One of the darkest risks facing America is that so few of us are prepared for retirement.
It's shocking, really. According to ConvergEx Group, "Only 58% of us are even saving for retirement in the first place. Of that group, 60% have less than $25,000 put away ... a full 30% have less than $1,000." According to Nielsen Claritas, Americans age 55 to 64 have a median net worth of $180,000 -- less than they'll likely need for health care spending alone during retirement.
I recently asked Joseph Dear, chief investment officer of CalPERS, one of the world's largest pension funds, whether America was ready for retirement. Without delay, he snapped: "No!"
We have a retirement problem. A very serious one that shouldn't be discounted.
But it is nothing new.
Same as it ever was
The notion that these challenges are new -- that there was some golden era when Americans were prepared to kick up their feet and enjoy retirement in financial security -- is a myth. By some measures, retirees are in a better position today than at any other time in modern history.
Let's start with something simple. The entire concept of retirement is unique to the late-20th century. Before World War II, most Americans worked until they died.
The best way to show this is the labor force participation rate for men age 65 and up:
For most of us, I think the nostalgic sense of America's golden era of retirement is set between the 1950s and the 1990s. That, we often hear, is when workers had pensions and were able to retire with security. But as much as twice the percentage of men were still working into their elderly years back then compared with today.
The truth is, that 20th century was brutal for most elderly. As Frederick Lewis Allen writes in his 1950 book The Big Change: "One out of every four families dependent on elderly people and two out of every three single elderly men and women had to get along in 1948 on less than $20 per week [$193 in today's dollars]."
There are a couple of reasons for this. First, those retiring in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, were in their prime earning years during the Great Depression. Not exactly fertile ground for saving.
More importantly, Social Security used to pay out much smaller benefits, even adjusted for inflation.
When Ida Mae Fuller cashed the first Social Security check in 1940, it was for $22.54, or $374 in current dollars. Today, the average monthly benefit in real (inflation-adjusted) terms is more than three times larger. Since payouts are set with a calculation based on wage growth, not just price inflation, real Social Security benefits have risen consistently over the last half-century:
But hold on, I hear you say. Didn't workers have private pensions to rely on in previous decades?
Some did, yes. But only a minority. There has never been a time in American history when the majority of retirees took in income from either a private or public pension (outside of Social Security). Nothing close to it, in fact.
Nevin Adams of the Employee Benefit Research Institute tells the story: "Only a quarter of those age 65 or older had pension income in 1975 ... The highest level ever was the early 1990s, when fewer than 4 in 10 (both public- and private-sector workers) reported pension income."
Mr. Adams continues: "In other words, even in the 'good old days' when 'everybody' supposedly had a pension, the reality is that most workers in the private sector did not."
Here's what's really interesting. In 1975, 15% of all income reported by those 65 and older came from pensions, according to Adams. By 2010, that figure actually increased, to 20%.
The bottom line, Adams writes, is that "even when defined benefit pensions were more prevalent than they are today, most Americans still had to worry about retirement income shortfalls."
As a matter of fact, retirees had a lot more to worry about in past decades than they do today.
The Census Bureau's measure of poverty -- based largely on how much of a household's income is devoted to basic food necessities -- for those age 65 and up has plunged since the 1960s, continuing to fall even during the financial crisis:
By this metric -- and I struggle to think of a more complete measure of financial wellbeing than poverty -- those age 65 and up have never been in better financial shape.
What about age?
The most common rebuttal to what I've presented so far is likely that we're living longer today than we were in the past. So, even if retirees have higher incomes and more security today, they need it because they have to finance a longer retirement.
There is some truth to this, but probably less than many assume.
While there has been tremendous progress in life expectancy over the last century, most of the gains have come to the young.
According to the Centers for Disease Control's actuary tables, someone born in 1950 could expect to live to age 68.2, while someone born in 2010 could expect to live to 78.7.
That's extraordinary: An extra decade of life expectancy gained inside of two generations.
But the gains have been much smaller for those who survive into their retirement years. A 65-year-old in 1950 could expect to live 14 more years, while a 65-year-old in 2010 could expect to live another 19 years. The gains continue to diminish from there. A 75-year-old in 1980 (the earliest we have data on for that age group) could expect 10.4 more years of life. Today, they can expect another 12 years -- a gain of a mere 1.6 years.
Just like the good old days
Let me clearly state what these statistics do not show. They do not show that Americans are prepared for retirement, or that there is no retirement crisis.
There is a retirement crisis.
But there always has been one.
The lack of savings is a grim problem that will affect millions of Americans for decades to come.
But that's nothing new.
Most retirees will have to cut back on their standard of living.
But they always have.
Many will be reliant on Social Security.
But that's been the case for decades.
"When all is said and done," Adams writes, "we're all still challenged to find the combination of funding -- Social Security, personal savings, and employment-based retirement programs -- to provide for a financially satisfying retirement."
"Just like in the 'good old days.'"
Divorce lawyer here and more and more of my cases involve older people (55+) with no retirement or maybe no more than $30K and they plan to spend that soon. Sad. Oh, and usually with lots of debt and the house not paid off. Calling Dave Ramsey.
Even with a very nice IRA and savings, I'm already looking for a large refrigerator's empty box which I can live in, in a vacant lot, away from the city. After the coming train wreck and SHTF. Stop by sometime, and we'll split a Big Mac & Fries. Heh.
I will work until I cannot. That said, it is awful hard to put away the millions they advise when you get hit from every angle with taxes and rising prices, low investment returns, all the while salaries stay basically static.
The one thing my ex father-in-law said that I agreed with was you will never get rich working for somebody else. I have just never been in a place to make that jump without enormous risk (that I cannot take with my kiddos).
I look at retirement like the false premise of home ownership. Buy a house, pay it off, but stop paying taxes and see how long you own it. The federal beast is in a catch 22. On one hand they need you to work forever and pay taxes and on the other they need you to retire and make room for other workforce acquisitions.
It's even harder to put away the amount they say you should, when you don't make enough to do that in the first place.
RE: it is awful hard to put away the millions they advise when you get hit from every angle with taxes and rising prices,
Heads up, according to Obama's recent budget proposal, you cannot save too much. He is proposing to cap your 401K and IRA to a max. of $3 Million.
Of course most people will shrug and say — Hey, it doesn't affect me, I don't have that much money for retirement.
But note — IT ALWAYS STARTS WITH A HIGH NUMBER, and then slowly, but surely as the government runs out of money, the number goes DOWN.
The Saul Alinsky playbook is always GRADUAL, not a big bang. Get people complacent and used to tiny oppressions until they become pliable.
Obama majored in this in college and he is applying what he learned. That is why he does not want his college records released.
You are so correct, we never really own an thing as long as the tax monster lives.
As for retirement, unless one saves about 25% of gross at a RoR of at least 6% per year from age 20 or so until age 60 or so and has no debt at that time... forget about it. Retirement is not going to happen.
Your F-I-L was right, you are most likely never going to get rich working for someone else. Not so sure that it is possible very often even now with the tax monster we have.
Thanks, sfl.
Work till you die. It is immoral for capable people not to work.
RE: Work till you die.
Assuming businesses will hire you when you're of Social Security age.
Why didn't you link to the actual article?
This link is to something else on Real Clear Markets.
It's never too late to start.
I did when I started my current job in 1985, my wife did in 1994 when she accepted a postion in a Corp. HQ. We started low. I had 25 bucks a pay (bi-weekly) deposited in a TSA (403b). The wife had more put in hers because her company matched hers with 50%. You will Never find investments that will constantly earn you that rate.
Every year or two based on our monthly bills we talked about how much should be increase that amount.
We Have taken a few vacations over the last 30 years but even they are on the cheap. Tent to the Big Lake, camp out and fish, a hunting trip out west or Canada. But not every year.
We also rarely eat out. Nor do we do the Movies. Maybe once or twice a year. We raise a garden, chickens and a few hogs. Sell a couple to friends to cover part of the cost.
You may never get "rich" working for someone else, however I think a more appropriate saying is "It is not how much you make it's how much you spend".
My personal opinion is that Way to many people think life consists of eating out every night, trips to the bar and or Movies and other forms of costly entertainment over the weekend. Same with Phone, internet and cable TV costs.
The other biggy to me is what people spend on Vehicles. Maybe it's my age but spending 35-50k on a vehicle that most can't afford and then full coverage Insurance is like getting your paycheck cashed into twenties then piling it up and burning it.
We drive used vehicles. When we buy they are 2-4 years old low milage vehicles. We drive them until the fall apart. Usually get 10-12 years out them.
Start small and pay attention to all the small stuff that you spend money on. Cut some of the non essential out and stick it away. After a few years you will see what a small amount can turn into.
That. One of the best posts I've ever seen in any personal finance related thread in the twelve years I've been a FReeper. I would add to the "it's how much you spend" part of the plan by saying "it's not how much you make, it's how much you keep."
The plan you describe works nearly every time it's tried.
I know of some elderly who are happily married and enjoying retirement, except that they would retain more of their retirement if they were divorced and living togther. Any truth to this?
Thanks. Most of what I wrote is based on todays lifestyles and knowledge my Grand Parents (lived thru the depression)passed on to me.
Correct link.
But thanks for the article posted, enjoyed it more than the link you provided!
The same with my parents. They both lived through the depression, and raised a family of four by making do with what they had. None of us never went hungry, unclothed, or uneducated.
The same type planning has served Mrs. abb and I quite well as we now enter into retirement.
They'll have to go waaaay down to get to the amount I'm able to save. I'm not going to worry unless I win a lotto.
YEP...what YOU said.
HA...I think Mercat will say YES!
I don't think so but it is possible. If say, the wife never worked, she might get more social security if she divorced the husband. I would never advise it since it would put her at risk going forward if husband decides to leave her but I suppose with the right agreement and estate plan it could be done. In Kansas however they would be common law married which could complicate things. There probably are people doing this. I did have a case once where the wife wanted to take care of a seriously disabled man but could not receive state aid for doing so since she was his wife. She divorced him, set up a separate address at the home, and continued living there.
I agree with you wholeheartedly....
except for the car thingie...
I buy em new and then drive them till they are dead..
what most people fail to accept is that your retirement is a bill, just like all your other bills..
it gets paid monthly, regardless...
and yes, EVERYONE can put something away, but that means doing without fancy cars, vacations, expensive furniture, eating out, etc...
living frugally is a lifestyle...
wifie and i were at one time both making just above minimum wage, with a house and 2 kids, and still put money away, we just did without the fancy stuff...
"Even with a very nice IRA and savings, Im already looking for a large refrigerators empty box which I can live in, in a vacant lot, away from the city."
I'm planning to live in a van down by the river.
That. One of the best posts Ive ever seen in any personal finance related thread in the twelve years Ive been a FReeper. I would add to the its how much you spend part of the plan by saying its not how much you make, its how much you keep.
The plan you describe works nearly every time its tried.
I agree...found the post very thoughtful/helpful in explaining retirement financials.
We've put aside retirement funds since I was in my early 20's. Always 15-20%...between retirement and personal savings. I just always went on the assumption that SS would not be there when I retired and so I had to be able to have enough put aside. The DH always put aside around 10-15% of his earnings as well (between retirement and savings). He also has a defined retirement plan.
We've been fortunate that our kids and grandkids have been self reliant and have never needed a 'hand'. And they've been building their own nest eggs since they all started working.
I think for us, it's our German/Dutch heritage...frugal and thrifty. :) And self reliant when it comes to finances.
Right now, today, this afternnon, or as soon as you can, should you be BEFORE retirement time or age, do this simple mathematics exercise.
If you are renting, outside of big cities, figure 3% a year MINIMUM.
If you are paying for cable connections, figure 5% a year MINIMUM.
Your light bill, for the sake of the exercise, figure 10% a year, MINIMUM.
Your telephone bill, again, for the exercise, figure 12% a year, MINIMUM.
Your auto gas bill ... the year before Obama was locally, $1.44 a gallon. It has gone up to $3.84 on the roller coaster. This is year 5, no? That's $2.44 in 5 years, or
%0.588 a year. Remember, that is locally.
The cost of a loaf of bread, not made by the local now-shut-down Hostess bakery, has risen EQUAL to the price of auto gas! That does not count, those nice rye bread loaves, that cost $4.00 each.
Use these as indicators for the years ahead you have until you retire. Figure what your budget might be with those inflated costs, and decide if you can afford to retire, from THAT budget.
If you are buying the house, yes, you may reach the end of the mortgage, but you will never reach the 'end' of taxation upon that house! Don't forget those figures, either.
Maybe the problem is that Americans expect to retire. It's a relatively recent notion that was put forth to sell Social Security was it not?
In generations before that, when the elders were no longer able to work, their children took care of them.
Work and save all your life, retire, have a health issue, the government takes every dime of your money and throws you in a shitty nursing home on Medicare where you'll eat tapioca pudding through a straw for your remaining days. Is that the "retirement" we are not ready for?
OK, I have a coupon for the Big Mac. What color will your refrigerator box be?
With retirement the feds lose tax money why would they want to help you to retire?.
I won't be able to afford those ritzy neighborhoods.
Biggest and most powerful defense against personal economic disaster? The intact traditional family....Dad, mom, the kids, grandparents, aunts, and uncles. Add hard work and traditional values and you have the number one threat to liberal thinkers and career politicians.
I may have to draw SS anyway. Not because I need the money, but to punish my co-workers for being young. ;-)
I've come to the conclusion that God meant for Man to work as long as he could.
That is my plan. The house is paid off when I reach 70. Can't retire before then. Work at least that long, and I'm thinking 72, socking some money away into the 401K. You can do that, so I've read.
I turned 65, today, so I'm thinking 7 more years. I'm in good health; I like what I do, the company I work for; the people I work with. Why not? I knew a man who was still working at 80.
How many of the percentage of retired people were government workers and how many were private sector?
I'm not going to worry if I DO win :)
My only issue is the older I get the less I am able to keep up with the new techie stuff. I just don't have it in me to work 12-14 hours a day with the hipsters anymore. Going from lead engineer to a dev manager role helped.
So, I may have to change careers which is darn near impossible over 55 unless you self-employ or downgrade.
If anything beyond basic metallography, fracture analysis, hardness testing, and chemical analysis is needed, I send it out. I still have to put it all together for the report at the end, though.
Maybe, when I retire, I'll just get a part time, say 3 day-a-week job, for fishing money, or something.
I've trusted in the Lord all my life, sometimes with more faith than at others, and so far, it's worked out pretty well for me.
"Assuming businesses will hire you..."
Start your own business. Be self employed. Develop skills that people will pay for.
In the socialized 21st century, those who saved will be ripped off for the benefit of those who did not. It's not fair, you see, that some scrimped and saved their whole lives and have more.
I thought I was reading a post I would have written. Spend less than income, invest wisely and you will do okay. We currently drive a 14 yo and 8 yo vehicle. When we replace them, we write a check for a 4 or 5 year old one with medium mileage. We watch spending on luxuries, we do eat well on what we can't raise (organic and very low carb intake). Keeps our weight down which equates to less medical expenses so we can work longer. OBTW, my dad retired at 83 due to health reasons

New Zealand: 9th September - 23rd October
It's less than 2 weeks to go!
Here's a cute Lego cartoon to get you in the mood:
Lego Rugby World Cup
I'll be shouting for Ireland as usual. Although I think it will be more a case of shouting at Ireland.
Too old, too injured to get very far I fear.
All Blacks should be too strong and are aware of there lack of WC success and will be wnating to put it right.
Austrian? I didn't know they were playing, Cake!
I think NZ will do it this time as losing the Tri-Nations will be a wake-up call for them.
Ireland have been v. unlucky with injuries, felt so sorry for Paddy Wallace in the last game. I think they may struggle to qualify
I expect France to be absolutely squished by NZ as revenge for '99 and '07. They will then play England in the QF where they will lose, in the rain, again
But until then - ALLEZ LES BLEUS!!!
ALL BLACKS anything else just isn't rugby
Reminds me of Dumb and Dumber. "I'm From Austria" - "G'day mate, slap another prawn on the barbie"
England - Probably not as far as I'd like
It will never be the Bottlers year.
No, I will be at my rugby club. You can't beat it.
I think the Aussies will have it, the Saffers have one game and struggle to change it when that doesn't work. Les Bleus will be magnificent. And then fall apart dramatically when it really matters. The All Blacks will go out in the quarters with a whimper, along with Wales and Ireland. Scotland may as well save the fare and hotel by staying at home. Argintina are no longer a surprise when they do well. Italy could pull off a shock or two, but it won't be enough. One of the outsiders will get into the quarters and everyone will support them, as long as it's not their team they're playing of course!
All Blacks. Two losses staged by the management without telling the players to ensure they remove the regular overconfidence that plagues them going into the World Cup as favourites. Shame they couldn't have come up North for a strategic loss, but they'd never lower themselves to that, or reduce the mystique that surrounds the Tri-Nations teams. (Wow, Argentina are going to be coming up and doing Grand Slams of the Isles in a few years!)
I'll be supporting Wales passionately for their four matches, and then probably have to switch to supporting France. Definitely in the pub early doors, miss what would have been a decent sermon probably including references to David and Goliath, but back for Sunday Roast...
BTW, ITV4 are doing a series of Rugby World Cup programmes with Lawrence Dallaglio and Craig Doyle. There was a good one on NZ on Monday night and there's another one scheduled for tonight at 9pm.
Good luck for your Ironman, FB!
Good luck in that Ironman Wales, FB! Strangely I believe we might have the measure of SA, who are basically the same curate's egg (but with green bits instead of red) and we'll be throwing all our fit players in. By the time we play Namibia we'll have no regular first team players left, and then Fiji will deliver the coup de grace to our second string. So you'll be hearing a lot of cheering news for an hour or so of your stupidly long bike ride which I don't envy you, though I really envy you that finishing feeling!
Cake, yeah, I think we do, but you need good rugby and strong rugby. If you don't have both, I'd rather have strong rugby. But it is boring...
Wyn-Jones needs to shine somewhere before he can shine on a world stage. He's not in a good year. Bit like Ryan Jones a couple back. Charteris might not be the perfect complement in the way Gough was. Warburton is going to be challenging for the top spot and SA will be very interesting for him. A glut of 10s at the moment, but the 9s are a little off and we're short of 12s and 15s. Pack is good, if not strong, but weaker at 2, 6 and 8 even though there's a wealth of back row players. We need our top props to stay fit or we're stuffed.
England need decisions made right across the backs, and not just at centre, so I don't know why everyone focuses there. Scotland need some players to turn up at rugby clubs around the country. Ireland need to just put out either the Munster or Leinster teams and stop mixing them up.
Can't see anyone beating New Zealand this time; they really look too good.
Australia seem to have sorted out their scrum, so should be very competitive.
South Africa will do well, but they seem to have come off worst from the Tri-Nations; they need to improve to win it.
No idea what Martin Johnson's messing about at; there really is lots of English-qualified backs talent in the Premiership, but england loook no further forward in finding a midfield combination than they've been for years...and without that, our exciting back three won't see enough of the ball to win.
Ireland must be worried. They're in no sort of form.
Wales have been going ok and should have a good tournament (but they're not going to win it)
I've seen Argentina v. Wales then their second string v. Worcester; they weren't very good in either game; their much-vaunted forward power seemed sadly lacking (and Worcester stuffed 'em up front)
Not really seen anything of the others, so I'll (unusually) keep my big mouth shut...
Mad Marc Lievremont will be stepping down after the RWC and Philippe Saint-Andre will be taking over:
New French Coach
Always liked him as a player and I think he did an OK job at Sale? It will be interesting to see if he's more consistent with his team selection or he pulls names out of a hat the way ML seemed to!
Ahh, my French didn't get much further than 1st year of A level at evening class, FB
Le singe est dans l'arbre
3 sleeps to go
Flashmob Haka
Boss at work is a rugby fan so I'll be able to watch some of the build-up and match on Friday
