RETIREMENT PLAN IS KEY TO CONFIDENCE, SURVEY FINDS Retirement confidence is highest among workers who say they or their spouse have a retirement plan, such as a work-sponsored plan or an individual retirement account (IRA), reports the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI). In its 2015 Retirement Confidence Survey, EBRI found that 28% of those with a retirement plan said they were “very confident” about their ability to afford retirement, compared with just 12% of those without a plan. In addition, 34% of workers who said they or their spouse have a retirement plan had saved at least $100,000 for retirement, while 64% of those without a plan say they had saved less than $1,000. “Those without a retirement plan seem to understand they are likely to have difficulties accumulating adequate financial resources for retirement,” said EBRI research director Jack VanDerhei. “Forty-four percent of workers without a retirement plan are not at all confident about having enough money for a comfortable retirement, compared with only 14% of those who have a plan.” Confidence on the rise EBRI found that overall retirement confidence continues to rise from the lows of the 2009 to 2013 period, as 22% of workers were very confident in their prospects for retirement, compared with 13% in 2013. The percentage of workers saying they are not at all confident remained statistically unchanged at 24%. Retirees also exhibited a brighter outlook, with 37% saying they were very confident in their ability to afford retirement, compared with just 18% in 2013. Saving hurdles The cost of living and day-to-day expenses were the top reasons for not saving (or not saving more), with half of workers reporting these factors as deterrents. Despite these factors, however, nearly 70% said they could save at least $25 more per week than they had been setting aside. Red flags Although the percentage of workers reporting strong confidence in their ability to pay for medical and long-term care costs has increased over the past several years, the 2015 percentages are still cause for concern. Just 18% of workers said they are very confident they will have enough for medical expenses in retirement, while 14% said they were very confident about paying for long-term care costs. Sixteen percent of workers said the age at which they expect to retire has changed over the past year; eight out of 10 of those people said they expect to retire later than planned. Unfortunately, these workers may be in for an unexpected surprise--many retirees reported that they had to leave the workforce earlier than planned due to factors beyond their control. About the survey The 25th annual Retirement Confidence Survey was cosponsored by EBRI, a private, nonprofit, nonpartisan public policy research organization that focuses on health, savings, retirement, and economic security issues; and Greenwald & Associates, a Washington, DCbased market research firm. The survey was conducted in January and February 2015 through 20-minute telephone interviews with 2,004 people, including 1,003 workers and 1,001 retirees. Full results can be viewed at www.ebri.org.

Fort Peck Summer Theatre Opens 46th Season with “ALWAYS….PATSY CLINE!”

FORT PECK, MT--Featuring dozens of Patsy Cline’s greatest hits, Fort Peck Summer Theatre (FPST), opens the much anticipated 46th season with the international hit musical Always…Patsy Cline. FPST favorites Debra Berger and Pam L. Veis star, celebrating the famous singer through the eyes of her biggest fan. The production also features a live on-stage band, led by musical director Jack Barrett, with Evan Goldhahn & Morgan Phelps (who starred as the Crickets in last season’s runaway hit, The Buddy Holly Story) and Haley Owens. Glasgow native Berger (starring as Patsy) returns to her FPST roots after a few years’ hiatus. Currently based out of Minneapolis, she continues to work as a professional performing artist. Veis’ many FPST credits include her touching performance as Daisy in last season’s Driving Miss Daisy and the hilarious Eulalie Shinn in The Music Man.

June 3, 2015.......................................................................... Volume XIII Issue 11............................................................................ Tricia’s Trader 12 In the land of the free, home of the brave, lies the Treasure State in all its grandeur, and unless you’re a newcomer here you’ve heard and felt the heartbeat of Montana’s economy, appearing in the form of Agriculture. Tricia’s Trader celebrates all that is Montana Ag by acknowledging the agencies, organizations and people who serve as the voice for their industry--not always unified, but absolutely passionate and devoted to their respective purposes. Since it’s impossible for the Ag Industry not to intertwine with utilization of this state’s natural resources, you’ll see features that discuss those industries as well. If you’ve ever wondered what all these groups do, what they stand for, who they support and why, you will never be handed a better opportunity to learn than in Tricia’s Trader over the course of 2015 and 2016, where we examine each faction in detail.
