Money Talks

Complements of Greg Dugdale Raymond James Financial Services, Inc. Havre, Montana

GettinG Help from a financial professional

Are you suddenly on your own or forced to assume greater responsibility for your financial future? Unsure about whether you’re on the right track with your savings and investments? Finding yourself with new responsibilities, such as the care of a child or an aging parent? Facing other life events, such as marriage, divorce, the sale of a family business, or a career change? Too busy to become a financial expert but needing to make sure your assets are being managed appropriately? Or maybe you simply feel your assets could be invested or protected better than they are now.

These are only some of the many circumstances that prompt people to contact someone who can help them address their financial questions and issues. This may be especially true for women, who live longer than men on average and therefore may face an even greater challenge in making their assets last over that longer life span. In fact, one survey found that women often value advice from a professional in their financial decision-making even more than men do.*

Why work with a financial professional?

• • • • •

A financial professional can apply his or her skills to your specific needs. Just as important, you have someone who can answer questions about things that you may find confusing or anxiety-provoking. When the financial markets go through one of their periodic downturns, having someone you can turn to may help you make sense of it all.

If you don’t feel confident about your knowledge of investing or specific financial products and services, having someone who monitors the financial markets every day can be helpful. After all, if you hire people to do things like cut your hair, work on your car, and tend to medical issues, it might just make sense to get some help when dealing with important financial issues.

Even if you have the knowledge and ability to manage your own finances, the financial world grows more intricate every day as new products and services are introduced. Also, legislative changes can have a substantial impact on your investment and tax planning strategy. A professional can monitor such developments on an ongoing basis and assess how they might affect your portfolio.

A financial professional may be able to help you see the big picture and make sure the various aspects of your financial life are integrated in a way that makes sense for you. That can be especially important if you own your own business or have complex tax issues.

If you already have a financial plan, a financial professional can act as a sounding board, giving you a reality check to make sure your assumptions and expectations are realistic. For example, if you’ve been investing far more conservatively than is appropriate for your goals and circumstances, either out of fear of making a mistake or from not being aware of how risks can be managed, a financial professional can help you assess whether and how your portfolio might need adjusting to improve your chances of reaching those goals.

When should you consult a professional?

Buying Scrap Metals and Batteries.

Copper, Brass, Radiators, Cell Phones, Circuit Boards, Air Conditioners, Computers, Motors, Ballasts, Monel, Carbide, Catalyitc Converters, X-Ray Film, Lead, Stainless, Wire, Starters, Alternators, High Temp Alloys, and Lots More. 701-361-5821 www.bernathconstructioninc. com 1-II:7-I

You don’t have to wait until an event occurs before consulting a financial professional. Having someone help you develop an overall strategy for approaching your financial goals can be useful at any time. However, in some cases, a specific life event or perceived need can serve as a catalyst for seeking advice. Such events might include: • Marriage, divorce, or the death of a spouse • Having a baby or adopting a child • Planning for a child’s or grandchild’s college educationv • Buying or selling a family business • Changing jobs or careers • Planning your retirement • Developing an estate plan • Receiving an inheritance or financial windfall

Making the most of a professional’s expertise •

You’ll need to understand how a financial professional is compensated for his or her services. Some receive a fee based on an hourly rate (usually for specific advice or a financial plan), or on a percentage of your portfolio’s assets and/or income. Some receive a commission from a third party for any products you may purchase. Still others may receive some combination of fees and commissions, while still others may simply receive a salary from their financial services employer. Don’t be reluctant to ask about fees; any reputable financial professional shouldn’t hesitate to explain how he or she is compensated.

• Even if you’re a relative novice when it comes to finances, don’t be afraid to ask questions if you don’t understand what’s being presented to you. You’re not being rude; you’re simply trying to prevent misunderstandings that could backfire later.

• Don’t let yourself be pressured into making a financial decision you’re not comfortable with or don’t understand. This is your money, and you have the right to take whatever time you need. However, give yourself a deadline for your decision so you don’t get caught in “analysis paralysis.”

• If you think your financial life simply needs a checkup rather than a complete overhaul, you’ll need to clarify the areas in which you’re looking for assistance.

That can help you decide what type of advice you’re looking for from your financial professional, though you should also pay attention to any additional suggestions raised during your discussions. Your plans should take into consideration your financial goals, your time horizon for achieving each one, your current financial and emotional ability to tolerate risk, and any recent changes in your circumstances.

• Don’t assume you have to be wealthy to make use of a financial professional. While some do focus on clients with assets above a certain level, others do not.

• Think about the scope of the services you’ll need. Do you want comprehensive help in a variety of areas, or would you be better off assembling a team of specialists? Do you need an ongoing relationship, or can your needs be taken care of on a one-time basis? If you’re a relative novice or having to deal with decisions you’ve never had to make before, someone with broad-based expertise might be a good place to start.

• Even if you feel you need detailed advice from several different specialists--for example, if you own your own business--consider whether you might benefit from having someone who can coordinate among them. A financial professional can sometimes be a gateway to other professionals who can help with specific aspects of your finances, such as accounting, tax and/or estate planning, insurance, and investments.

• If you want comprehensive management, you may be able to give a financial professional the independent authority to make trading decisions for your portfolio without checking with you first. In that case, you’ll likely be asked to help develop and sign an investment policy statement that spells out the specifics of the firm’s decision-making authority and the guidelines to be followed when making those decisions.

If you feel that consulting an expert can be helpful, don’t postpone making that call. The sooner you get your questions answered, the sooner you’ll be able to pay more attention to the things--family, friends, career, hobbies--that an organized financial life can help you enjoy. *February 2012 survey of 1,150 affluent individuals conducted by Spectrem Group, a research/consulting firm focused on the affluent and retirement markets.

Small Businesses...Keeping Montana Strong!

Just like “It takes a community to raise a child”, it takes small businesses to strengthen a community. Without loyal communityminded businesses, many Montana towns would be nothing more than a happy memory. These dedicated companies consistently provide jobs, industry, donations and volunteer services to the patrons who support them. They know that without a healthy economy in their town, their own companies will suffer, so they give back faithfully....When you see them be sure to say, “Thanks!”

North Star Dodge

MULTI-CITY: Ezzie’s Wholesale

Often, the life of an entrepreneur follows a winding path full of unexpected twists and turns. This can be said for the owners of North Star Dodge in Havre.

HARLEM: Jim and Ila Reighard purchased the dealership in 1989 Richman Insurance after its previous owner was killed in an automobile accident.

Their entrepreneurship story truly began over 30 years before, LEWISTOWN: however. Having owned several business ventures prior to this, Snowy Mountain Motors including an oil drilling company for fifteen years, a pizza house Lewistown Rental and bar for eight years in Billings, a dude ranch at Utica and one at Hobson, customer service and the business world were Duane Sparks Chevrolet familiar territory for the couple. North Star Dodge inevitably Co-owner Rocky Preeshl Owner Gary Reighard grew by leaps and bounds under their skilled leadership and CHINOOK: wisdom.

Jamieson Motors As any smart business owner must do, the Reighards planned for longevity by empowering individuals within the company with responsibility and ownership. A young, hardworking, key employee there since 1990, Rocky Preeshl soon moved up the ranks American Garage, LLC from detailer to technician to parts manager to parts and service director. Today, Preeshl is the General Sales Manager and co-owner of North Star Dodge. He is a vital element in keeping the company on track and growing.

TURNER: Later, son Gary and his wife Jennifer joined North Star Dodge in 1995, both leaving previous positions with The Boeing Reed’s Ag Enterprises ~ Turner Supply Company to come “home” to Montana. Each of them took positions working for Gary’s father: Gary started as the parts manager, and Jennifer went to work as the bookkeeper. When Jim and Ila semi-retired in 2000, Gary moved up to become General Manager HAVRE: and dealer principle; Jennifer advanced to Office Manager and accountant.

North Star Dodge It was after this that North Star Dodge-Chrysler-Jeep entered the motor-sports arena with the purchase of a Yamaha dealership. Then, in 2008, Chrysler selected North Star Dodge as one of only three dealers in Montana to bring on BusinessLink, Custom Collision Repair which is an innovative program featuring a line-up of Heavy Duty 4500 and 5500 commercial trucks.

As the company inches toward the 25 year mark in business, Gary, Jennifer and Rocky adhere to the philosophy that made Havre Muffler & Brake their company successful from the start—“Treat ‘em right, every time, all the time.” With a full staff of over 20 hard-working people dedicated to treating customers right, North Star Dodge draws repeat business from as far away as Billings. Yet, they remember that Havre Ready Mix, Inc.~ Baltrusch Construction, Inc. their local community is the key to their success. ~Havre Sand & Gravel, Inc. “We continually strive for the opportunity to sell and serve within the community,” Gary says. “We appreciate the person who gives us the chance and we work hard to give them the best deal possible. We appreciate customer loyalty and we pledge our loyalty to Pacific Steel & Recycling them in return.”

He adds, “One thing I firmly believe is when you spend your paycheck out of town that money does not come back to your Tilleman Motor Co. community. Every chance I get I buy here. Sometimes it costs me a little more, but that money supports Havre and eventually supports my business, as well as others.”

RUDYARD: Besides being strong supporters of motor-cross and hill-climbs throughout the state, North Star Dodge makes a concerted McNair Furniture effort to support the youth in their community. They donate MALTA: to 4-H, Boys and Girls Club, Radio Shack Malta Youth Hockey, Lions Swim Team, First State Bank High School Athletics, MSUNorthern Athletics. In addition, Great Northern Hotel & the company donates a vehicle for Restaurant ~ Maltana Motel MSU-Northern coaches to use when they go on athletic scouting Crossroads Coffee ~ trips.

Feigel Photo As the saying goes, Liquor Haven ~ Travel Haven “Think globally, act locally.” North Star Dodge-Chrysler-Jeep-Yamaha takes care of who and what is Mint Bar around them. And they believe R & G Feeds that will have a big payoff at the end of the day.

LOCAL AUTHOR RELEASES FIRST BOOK

(PRESS RELEASE--) Local author Dawn Colby has written and now published “True Love Ignited”.

Colby said “True Love Ignited” is a book of triumph through the many tragedies of her life and the lessons she has had to learn about the power of God’s love.

“God’s love is a powerful, changing force,” she said. “Love can change any circumstance for good.

It’s the way we look at love that makes all the difference – as we apply 1 Corinthians 13 from the Bible to our everyday life, in our life applications.

As her life unfolded this book was born, Colby said. Writing the book gave her the ability to look back from where she was to where she is now, she said.

“We all need to know that our past doesn’t have to dictate our future,” Colby said. “And this book can give you the tools to do that.”

The book is intended to help the reader on a journey with God, she said, and to reach a destination of freedom from the hurts of this life, no matter what age.

As a mother of two children, a wife of a law officer, a daughter out of the oilfield, a child of a two-parent home, Colby has lived and viewed life from many different perspectives.

What she has learned, she said, is what she is offering to others in the form of this book –the revelation of personal testimonies others can apply to their lives.

Dear Dave,

I’m divorced and have a teenager who will be driving soon. What would be the best way to set up insurance for the child?

~Mike Dear Mike,

I suppose a break-up does change the dynamic somewhat, but with my kids I simply left the car in my name and paid the extra insurance cost for a little while. For me, still being in control of the car as a dad outweighed the additional money I was paying in premiums. Having a minor child running around in the world with his or her name on a car title is not a good plan.

Then, when they turned 18, I put each of their cars into their names. This, of course, was dependent on them behaving and acting responsibly. They were legally liable at that age too. I’m sure the insurance costs went up, but at that point the financial risk and liability factors were on them, not me.

In this kind of situation, especially because there’s more of a potential for disagreements, I think I’d do it that way. Just put it in your name for now, especially if you’re putting money toward the purchase of a vehicle. ~Dave Dear Dave,

My employer recently stopped matching my 401(k) contributions. Together, my husband and I make about $100,000 a year. Should I continue to invest in this option, or should I put money into an IRA? ~Linda Dear Linda,

If possible, I would put 100 percent of my retirement savings into a Roth IRA with good, growth stock mutual funds before messing with a non-matching 401(k). But remember, my goal if you follow the Baby Steps is to be debt-free except for your home, and have an emergency fund of three to six months of expenses, before you begin setting aside for retirement. These are the steps that allow you to be prepared for emergencies and free up your largest wealth-building tool, which is your income.

With your income, both you and your husband could open Roth IRAs and contribute $5,500 each in 2013. That’s a total of $11,000 toward retirement next year, and it’s only 11 percent of your income. With this in mind, I’d advise going ahead with your 401(k)s after your Roth IRAs are in place. That would flesh out the remaining four percent and give you guys 15 percent of your income going toward retirement! ~Dave "TRADE MY LAND IN SHELBY FOR YOUR RV" One of the nicest lots available; would like to trade it for an RV of any type. City amenities, nicest neighborhood. Backs prairie, rural feel, conveniently located, wonderful views! See it at 1146 Sanders Ave., Shelby, MT, between two brand new homes.

Ramblings of a Conservative Cow Doctor

by Krayton Kerns, DVM, State Rep. HD 58

We hope you enjoy reading this feature in Tricia’s Trader. You may agree, you may disagree with Dr. Kerns’ Ramblings, but

you will always have something to discuss over dinner.

Montana Code is Like Knapweed on Steroids

Tuesday morning around 5:30, I was finishing my daily seven mile run before grabbing breakfast and heading to the capitol. It was dark and I was running north on Helena’s Montana Avenue about a half mile from my temporary home. For safety sake, I wear a florescent yellow jersey, a highly reflective body harness, headlamp, and red strobe light. On roads lacking a sidewalk, I run on the shoulder facing traffic should a probable collision require my leap into the barrow pit. This four lane street is mostly deserted at this early hour, and this morning, with no other cars in sight, a sedan zipped past me holding firm in the outside lane; their passenger side mirror missing my right elbow by a mere couple feet. Had the motorist drifted to the left lane we would have passed each other at a safer distance of eight to ten feet. Oh well; he made his point and I kept running.

Fifteen seconds later, another set of headlights approached and at a distance of 200 yards, they shifted to the left lane, before safely passing and drifting back to the outside lane. In the darkness, I smiled, mouthed “thank you” and nodded my head in gratitude; a gesture the minivan driver would never see.

In my last quarter mile, a third vehicle approached; again in the outside lane. This driver held his pickup firmly in his lane and I considered taking an evasive leap over the snow bank piled along the road’s shoulder. Just like with the sedan driver, I could have reached out and slapped the pickup’s rearview mirror as it zoomed past, dislocating my shoulder thereby proving I am stupid; a trait I prefer kept a secret. Now, let me jump to another subject.

I will get back to the sedan and pickup drivers when I make my point at the end of this column.

Montana’s code book grows every session. Beginning with our one page compact to join the union in 1889, our Treasure State book of laws has ballooned past 16,000 pages, stands 16 inches tall, weighs over 50 pounds and

citizens are expected to know and obey every single regulation. Ignorance of the law is not a defense in court; it’s a dang good excuse and I use it frequently, but it is not a defense. Answer me this: Would you buy a new blender if it came with a 16,000 page operator’s manual and you were expected to commit every page to memory before blending your first margarita? Probably not, which is why people lick the salt, slam down the shot of tequila and suck on the lime rather than buy a new blender. Progressives assume citizens will obey every law and this is the special logic behind solutions like gun-free zones. To the left, utopia is but one regulation away and once the magical combination of laws is enacted America will achieve nirvana. Liberals are delusional.

Last week in the House Transportation Committee, we heard HB257 an “act revising laws pertaining to bicycles.” In addition to further defining bicycles and regulating lights and brakes, HB 257 requires motorists to maintain five feet of clearance when passing bicycles. Even though driver’s manuals have required this five foot clearance for six years, and it is common sense, it was never part of Montana Code. We heard emotional testimony from bicyclists who have been critically injured being rear-ended by autos and I empathize with their pain and suffering, but I voted “No” and here is why. Yielding a five foot safe zone to walkers, runners, or bikers is a simple courtesy, but if you were preparing to zoom past a bicycle at highway speeds separated by only inches, I doubt the presence or absence of a law will change your behavior. To close the loop and prove my point, both the sedan and the pickup who zipped past me in the darkness on Montana Avenue were Lewis and Clark County Sheriff vehicles operated by citizens educated in the rules of the road and sworn to public safety. HB257 slipped out of committee 8-3, but logic prevailed on the House floor where we defeated it on a vote of 43-57.

Just like knapweed, it will grow back.
