Proactive retirement planning for women

By Al Martinez Guest Columnist

Retirement planning can be an overwhelming undertaking, especially for women. Women face unique retirement challenges, such as caretaking responsibilities and lower average savings rates than men. However, with proactive planning, women can make retirement a time of financial security and well-being. Let’s look at women’s obstacles in retirement planning and discuss strategies to help them prepare for retirement.

May Face In Retirement Planning

Women may face several obstacles in their retirement planning journey. One of these is taking on caretaking responsibilities that can make it challenging to save for retirement or even continue to work in general. In addition, many women also have lower average savings rates than men, which can put them at a disadvantage when preparing for the future.

Other potential obstacles for women include the gender wage gap and a lack of access to pension plans. The gender wage gap means that for every dollar setting a schedule for visits with the court and, of course, paying the $100 bench warrant fee.

The court first tried the Self Surrender Week strategy men earn, women earn only 82 cents on average. This can lead to lower overall retirement savings and less access to employer-sponsored or government pensions due to lower wages.

Strategies To Help Women Prepare For Retirement

Fortunately, there are a few strategies that women can use to plan for their future proactively. The first is talking openly about money with partners or family members who support and understand your goals. This will provide emotional support and tangible advice on managing fi nances and retiring in October 2021, after Griego learned of another court’s experience at a conference.

Gutierrez thinks the COVID19 pandemic and not knowing comfortably.

In addition, it is essential to be proactive with setting up your own retirement accounts (like IRAs), so you can benefit from any employer contributions or tax benefits associated with those accounts. Finally, adjusting your budget now to include room for savings will help ensure that you will have enough money saved when it comes time for you to retire.

If you have questions, contact a financial advisor familiar with women’s retirement planning needs to help you determine your best strategies.

Griego’s reputation discouraged a lot of people from taking advantage of it.

“We didn’t get very many the fi rst time,” Gutierrez said. “We hope this time we get a little more now that people know how she runs her court.”

Gutierrez said the court hopes to do the event annually.

Defendants can go see Griego for the same treatment throughout the year, but only between 9 am and 2 pm on weekdays. Self-Surrender Week is aimed at raising awareness and making it easier for defendants by extending the hours they can seek relief. they were shot.

Teacher Of The Month

Hunt said he has a list of favorite things when it comes to his job, but on the top of that list is the moment when the kids begin to understand a concept, when he can see the “a-ha moment” come across their faces.

Offi cer Andreas Stamatiadis — were injured, and transported to the San Juan Regional Medical Center.

Stamatiadis, who was shot while driving to the scene, and the four civilians were treated and released from the

“Those [moments] are just warm and tingly down in the tummy,” Hunt said.

As a middle school teacher, Hunt said he really enjoys interacting with his students, but he said one hard part about the job is knowing that he doesn’t have a hand in what they might experience outside of the classroom.

‘I can control as best I can what their experience is like inside this space, but when they go home or in to the community, when they go deal with any difficulties or struggles they have that I don’t have any impact on, it’s tough hospital. Discenza is reportedly recovering from a wound to her pelvis.

Seven more people were reportedly treated at the scene for injuries such as cuts from fl ying glass.

Hebbe expressed remorse to watch them do that and not be able to help,” he said.

Middle College High School English teacher Jeffery Collier Kempton works side-by-side with Hunt, both literally and physically. The mens’ classrooms are right next to each other, and every spring semester they participate in something called “Englishistory,” which is a curriculum that combines the two subjects. Hunt and Collier Kempton work together to infuse history content with English skills.

Collier Kempton called Hunt “a great teacher” who is during the May 17 press conference. At the time of the shooting, he was in Wisconsin visiting his father. He said that as soon as he heard the news from one of his officers he and his wife began the trip back to New Mexico.

“It is a difficult thing to have such a strong connection with the community and with the department and know that we’re in the middle of something like this and know that I’m not there,” Hebbe said. “It was very difficult.” fun to work beside.

“Mr. Hunt cares very deeply about being prepared and presenting everything he can to the students,” Collier Kempton said. “When he puts together even a single lecture he’ll often read multiple books about that topic just so he can get at the lived experiences of that event or that time period so that he can give it life for the kids.”

Collier Kempton explained that Hunt doesn’t just relay information to his students.

“It’s not just that he’s giving them information. Instead, he’s inviting them to care,”

Collier Kempton said.

“When he received the Teacher of the Month award, Hunt said he was very surprised. He also gave a shoutout to other Gallup-area teachers.

“There’s lots of really excellent really deserving teachers in town,” Hunt said.

So while the History Channel dream may be in his rearview mirror at this point, Hunt knows he’s exactly where he’s meant to be.

“Telling stories to eighth graders [is] a ton of fun, so to heck with hoity-toity History Channel stuff,” Hunt said.

Heavy Metal Festival

| FROM PAGE 15

Donned in her Levi’s jacket with heavy metal band patches, Yatsayte addressed the crowd and handed out brochures about MMIW. She said she was excited that the event was a heavy metal music festival.

“Everyone has their own genre of music and I’m glad provided the county with whatever information they requested. The public accusations are, therefore, mistaken.

Secondly, BFS was criticized for seeking outside funding without the County’s “permission,” and this seems to be the basis for the County’s unwillingness to actually implement and manage the BFS appropriations for which they are the designated fi scal agent. We would hope that any issues in this regard would be resolved professionally, with it was the metal scene to help with the event,” Yatsayte said. “With this type of music, it draws everyone together and it just went hand-in-hand to talk about this emotional subject.”

While getting ready to hit the stage, Dave expressed his thoughts on the mini-festival his wife put together.

“If we could help one family or two families or more, it’s all worth the cause to come out good communication, and in the spirit of cooperation.

There are two key issues at hand: Number one, there are many families in McKinley County suffering from domestic violence. BFS is the primary service provider for parents and children who are at risk from abuse or neglect by other adults in their households. Alcohol abuse is a major contributor to these tragic circumstances, but there are other factors in play, as well.

We believe it is and play,” Dave said, “Metal music is so powerful and it has a message behind it.”

Dave explained that heavy metal is so profound on the reservation and mainly so underground, but by performing for such a great cause it would hopefully change the minds of those who think otherwise.

“When people see heavy metal followers, they often think of nothing but a bunch of unconscionable for our local governments to deny resources in support of these families. The need is so great that our only recourse has been to seek as much outside funding as possible to meet the urgent needs of these suffering county citizens.

Number two, our current facilities have serious deficiencies for which funding has been appropriated. However, the county has failed to cooperate with BFS in putting those resources to use. In the delinquents, when in reality we [heavy metal followers] are just simply chill people listening to heavy metal music,” Dave said.

Before the event started, he said he hoped it draws in the heavy metal fans who “just want to head bang together for a worthwhile cause.”

The event drew in heavy metal fans of all ages. In total, the event raised close to $500. Delvena and everyone who meantime, we have proposed a plan for a new facility and comprehensive program based on international best practices, and we are pursuing funding to make that a reality.

It would be in the best interests of BFS, the County and the County community for there to be the highest degree of cooperation and support possible from all of our public agencies.

Sincerely,

Emily Ellison Executive Director of Battered Family Services

was involved were surprised at such a great turnout and hope to do this again in the near future.

“Music is healing and this is a great way for all of us to come together with no alcohol or drugs and to concentrate on our family and the good times,” Yatsayte said.
