Third Annual Pastors United Gala and Banquet emphasizes ‘Power in Economics’ By The Milwaukee Times staff The third annual Pastors United Banquet & Gala honored eight community leaders from the Central City and heard a fiery keynote speech on personal finance by Dr. Claud Anderson. The theme for the gala this year held, April 23 at Cardinal Stritch University was: “Power in Economics,” which also happens to be one of the primary objectives for the organization this year. The gala banquet sold all 300 tickets printed. Blacks will never have true power in America until they own and manage property in substantial numbers, said Anderson. In addition to being the author of four bestselling books, Dr. Anderson is also a community activist, president of PowerNomics Corporation of America Inc., and also president of the Harvest Institute Inc. He was state coordinator for education for Florida under Gov. Reubin Askew during the 1970s and was appointed by President Jimmy Carter the federal chairman for a commission of governors of southeast states. He also served as assistant secre-
tary in the U.S. Dept. of Commerce. As an entrepreneur he built Maryland’s largest seafood processing facility. He has also owned several radio stations, retail food outlets and a residential construction company. Dr. Anderson said that America was founded by property owners and that blacks are uniquely positioned within early American history because they were denied the opportunity to accumulate property and therefore political power, because for the first 250 years or so blacks were considered the property of others. Dr. Anderson said that blacks should be proud of their heritage and their ability to survive amid such a hostile environment. Unfortunately those unique historical circumstances blacks endured in America have left them for the most part unfamiliar with the power of property. In addition to Dr. Anderson there were a number of persons who spoke on various aspects of economic empowerment, including Pastors United President
Dr. Claud Anderson Gregory Lewis who said that the organization has begun accumulating and rehabilitating residential properties in Milwaukee with the objective being “to put our people in a position to buy and own property. We do not have enough of our people in position right now, but we can prepare and put them in position,” he said. Greater Spring Hill Baptist Church Pastor Danny Washington added addition-
al details of what Pastors United is calling its Faith Builds Milwaukee program to buy and rehabilitate foreclosed and abandoned residential property. Brothers and Sisters in Christ Serving Minister to Milwaukee Richard Schwoegler explained that his organization is available to help train church congregations in taking on residential property restoration, an initiative which could not only benefit the neighborhood, but also help the congregation make a small profit. Darvin Moore provided a brief explanation of how Pastors United can assist individuals with restoration of an individual’s credit record. Pastors United also honored a number of long-time members of the community including pharmacist Dr. Lester Carter, who received a Lifetime Achievement Award for successfully running Milwaukee’s only blackowned pharmacy for more than 40 years. Bishop Aaron Woods, co-founder of the Action for Christ Church in Milwaukee,
received the Faith Award. Apostle Charles Watson received the St. Paul Award for his promotion of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and “promoting the Gospel of Jesus Christ and imparting tools to combat any force that would come against Christ’s Church.” Bradley and Laura Thurman were honored for their successful startup business, Coffee Makes You Black. Sharon and Larry Adams were honored for co-founding the Walnut Way Conservation Corporation with their neighbors in 2000. Walnut Way aims to improve the quality of life in the Walnut Way neighborhood. Jacqueline Chesser was honored for her successful start-up business www.goodygourmets.com, which has retail stores and ships gourmet flavored popcorn. The New Pitts Mortuary President Michelle Pitts was honored for her leadership and success in growing the company. Industry bosses President Mario Dickens was honored for his work hosting the Back to School initiative, which has donated more than 500 book bags in partnership with other Milwaukee area businesses.
State Assembly member asked to leave Wauwatosa forum on racism
An off-hand racially insensitive attempt at a joke became a minor political issue April 25 after a staff member of the Wauwatosa School District asked 10th District State Representative David Bowen to leave a meeting called by students to discuss racism. A Wauwatosa West High School sociology class was scheduled to have a discussion on racism April 22. When Principal Frank Calcarco looked in on the class he noticed one black male student sitting quietly in the back of the room and not much discussion taking place. Without thinking he attempted what he told Rep. Bowen was a poor attempt at a joke that he thought might spark some discussion. Without thinking further he pointed at student Thomas Leonard and asked the class to please tell the kid that it was no longer the 1960s and

Earlier this year Prince announced he was writing a memoir, tentatively titled “The Beautiful Ones.” In New York, the news hit hard. "There was an uproar in my office," said Janelle Rubin, who works on the Far West Side. "Everyone's really upset." Likewise, a South American tourist, on her first day of a trip to New York, told PIX11 News, "He was a king of rock... even in Argentina." "We're from Minneapolis," said three young men visiting the city from Prince's hometown.

By Rev. Judith T. Lester, B.Min. M.Th
Alcohol Awareness Month (Conclusion) Addiction is a family disease that stresses the family to the breaking point, impacts the stability of the home, the family's unity, mental health, physical health, finances, and overall family dynamics. According to the National Council of Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, living with addiction can put family members under unusual stress. Normal routines are constantly being interrupted by unexpected or even frightening kinds of experiences that are part of living with alcohol and drug use. What is being said often doesn’t match up with what family members sense, feel beneath the surface or see right in front of their eyes. The alcohol or drug user as well as family members may bend, manipulate and deny reality in their attempt to maintain a family order that they experience as gradually slipping away. The entire system becomes absorbed by a problem that is slowly spinning out of control. Little things become big and big things get minimized as pain is denied and slips out sideways.
Without Help, Active Addiction Can Totally Disrupt Family Life And Cause Harmful Effects That Can Last A Lifetime. Support groups such as Al-Anon and Nar-Anon are available for the friends and family of people suffering from addiction (alcohol and drugs, respectively). While these support services are important for making connections with others who may be trying to navigate day-to-day life with addiction in the family, so is seeking professional therapy. Individual therapy for each family member, not just the addict, is important for the mental health of both the addict's spouse or partner and children, and meeting with a therapist as a family can help improve communication among family members, rebalance the family dynamic and give family members a safe environment to express their anger, fear and other concerns. Family therapy may also be helpful in preventing the children of addicts from succumbing to the disease themselves. If you or someone you know is struggling in silence
with alcohol, there is help available. The following are a few helpful links for family and friends of addicts: • Al-Anon.org - For family members of alcoholics. • Nar-anon.org - For family members of addicts. • Gam-anon.org - For family members of gamblers. • Coda.org - For co-dependent individuals. • Adultchildren.org - For adult children of alcoholics and addicts. Beloved, perhaps you’ve never struggled with alcohol or drug abuse, but chances are you know someone who
is or has in the past. It is this writer’s prayer you will keep them as well as their family in prayer, praying for healing of the alcoholic family member or friend.

Community advocate Nellie Weddle celebrates 80th birthday
Photos by Yvonne Kemp
For nearly three decades Nellie Weddle, former owner of the Surfside 16 Bar and Lounge, sponsored an NBA Pro-Am Men’s Basketball League and a Youth-Am Basketball Program. Eventually Nellie sold the Surfside Lounge and ended her involvement with the basketball leagues only to become an active volunteer with the Neighborhood Leadership Committee. On April 24, 2016 Nellie decided to celebrate her 80th birthday by inviting NORI’s Community Heroes to a Recognition Banquet. All proceeds from the birthday celebration at the Italian Community Center will be donated to Nellie’s Outreach Resource Initiative (NORI), which works to establish partnership relationships in neighborhood communities throughout the city of Milwaukee with private foundations, businesses, corporations, banks, religious institutions and community-based organizations.

Education
Wednesday, May 4, 2016
COMMUNITY COLUMN As graduation approaches, ed major counts on family With graduation just weeks away, Saidah Sheppard is wrapping up her second year of field placement at an elementary school, practicing her elevator speech and revising her resume for a UWM School of Education career fair. In December, she plans to squeeze every penny she possibly can from her first paychecks as a full-time teacher and take her sons to Disney World. “They deserve something good that’s just for them, even if it’s only for two or three days,” Sheppard says. “My boys have been through a lot.” At 24, so has Sheppard. She credits her ability to make it through to the support she’s received from her immediate family and her UW-Milwaukee family, the Life Impact program for student parents. Since 2005, Life Impact has worked to break the cycle of poverty by supporting nearly 200 students who could most benefit from a college degree, but are least likely to graduate: disadvantaged students raising young children. Life Impact has beaten the odds with a retention and graduation rate of 86 per-
Saidah Sheppard does one of her favorite things, read with some of her favorite people: her second-grade students at Kluge Elementary. cent and an employment rate of 96 percent for new graduates. Applications are being accepted through May 13 for fall 2016 students at https:// www4.uwm.edu/lifeimpact/ HowToApply.cfm. Already enrolled UWM students and incoming first-year students are encouraged to apply. A small advising staff provides academic and emotional support, family workshops and career-planning services to Life Impact scholars. The personal attention changes
lives, but the program’s financial support is key: Scholars receive a $5,000 renewable scholarship and access to emergency funds that can help pay the rent, buy textbooks or even cover brake repair. Sheppard enrolled at UWM in fall 2012 as a young mother with an associate’s degree in education from Milwaukee Area Technical College. “I always wanted to be a teacher,” she says. “I was a tutor in middle school, and I helped a little boy who was
struggling in reading get back on the right reading level. I feel I’ve always had a knack for it.” Her UWM studies went well, but family life proved challenging. Married “super young” in 2008, Sheppard needed help to continue her studies after she and her husband divorced. She overheard a classmate talking about Life Impact and applied. “I’m a good writer. I took my time with the admission essay. To tell you the truth, I just had a feeling: ‘This is it’.” Life Impact allowed Sheppard to stay in college after the divorce. Her mother, a retired Milwaukee Public Schools teacher, watches the boys while Sheppard works and goes to class. Still, there have been unexpected challenges. Sheppard almost had to choose between repairing the brakes on her car and paying her rent. Enter one Life Impact’s major innovations – access to emergency funds. “It felt weird asking for money so I could pay rent and fix my brakes,” Sheppard says. “But the advisors were so welcoming when I
did. Life Impact is really like a mini-family. Natalie Reinbold, the program manager, just met with me, and we went over my budget. They treated me like a regular person.” The ability to meet many needs in one place is part of what makes Life Impact unique, said Lindsey Reichlin, a research associate at the Institute for Women’s Policy Research. “We haven’t seen a program quite like this in terms of combining the life coach aspect with services such as emergency funds. It’s pretty well-rounded.” As a new teacher, Sheppard hopes to share her passion for early literacy in Milwaukee Public Schools, the system that educated her and now teaches her sons. She encourages other young parents to apply to the college program that helped her. “I wouldn’t be able to be a teacher without Life Impact,” she says. “It’s a light at the end of the tunnel, telling you that you can finish college – or give you the support you need to start college if you didn’t think you could do it. You can.”

Where do we expect Black children to learn about mental health? (Part 1 of 2) Issues that have been plaguing people behind closed doors take center stage when our stars let us in to their personal battles. Singer Tweet opening up about depression and actress Lisa Nicole Carson writing about living with bipolar disorder are just two of the few stories about Black people and mental health that make it to our eyes. Millions of Americans suffer from mental illness, but in our community there’s a hush-hush policy on the disease. While the signs can be overt as emotional outbursts or violent fits, others aren’t so easy to detect. It could be your co-worker who sweats excessively because they’re tense at staff meetings, or your best friend whose surprisingly quiet and reserved lately due to the loss of a recent relationship. We all walk in the midst of people in need for mental health attention everyday. Some of us are
recognizing the need for this and taking action, While a lot of our people still have this thing about mental illness. “This thing” we speak about keeps many of our people from reaching the doctor and discussing our feelings. In a culture where we don’t speak about certain things, going to a shrink is countercultural in a way. However, mental illness in the Black community is undeniable. The numbers speak where mouths don’t
express the need. According to Mental Health America adult Blacks run a 20 percent greater risk of reporting psychological distress. Experts say that a number of factors help account for this increased risk. Barriers include attitudinal differences that affect the openers to address the issue, cultural disregard for mental health issues and environmental differences contribute to the growing gap of knowledge about mental health in the Black
community. Latria Graham’s article for Marie Claire shows us the clear challenge of living in a world as a youth where mental illness isn’t embraced by Black culture. In the article, Graham writes: “My parents diminished the severity of my issues. My mom went so far as to call my disorder a “white girl’s problem”—she said it was basically a luxury issue. I am the daughter of a farmer and an entrepreneur, and their day-to-day problem-solving skills are meant to handle issues like food, water, shelter, and money, so mental health just wasn’t a tangible enough issue.” Students from low income backgrounds feel the impact of their communities even as they enter the assumed safe space of schools. School leaders are concerned about the traumatic experiences their students go through. Bejeray Morrison, a high
school college counselor for a low income high school in Chicago, says that it’s almost impossible to expect students to not be affected by the places they reside. “Adulthood is often thrust upon our youth before it’s their time. Not only do they start working early, but they start grappling with deep emotional issues before their minds are fertile enough to embrace it,” Morrison explained. “There’s a constant reminder of pain as my students walk down the street. Friends and family dying has got to shake the minds of our kids. Why wouldn’t it ?” Morrison has been working in the South Chicago community for years and she sees firsthand the impact that trauma has on college attendance. In her quest to get kids enrolled in college, she unpacks the layers of emotional baggage that comes with this issue of mental health support. (Continued next week)
Why do black babies have twice the infant mortality rate?
Black babies are succumbing to infant mortality at double the rate of White babies across the nation. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports that the national infant mortality rate is 6 percent, Whites come in at 5.1 percent , while 11.1 percent of Black babies are dying. Why are our babies dying at such a high rate? The healthcare disparities in the Black community are vast. The lack of quality healthcare access combined with hereditary factors are the reasons why many believe Black women are suffering so greatly from this problem. Venus Standard, a certified nurse midwife (CNM) and Lamaze certified childbirth educator, says the answer to problem has many layers. “The health care challenges of an African American woman are multifaceted. The sequelae of complication can increase drastically when pregnancy is added into the equation. While some challenges are a result of their inability to access quality health care, others are a direct result of lifestyle choices, i.e., obesity, hypertension and diabetes or toxic substances abuse
such as smoking, alcohol or drugs,” Standard explained to BlackDoctor.org. “There’s not a whole lot you can do about your hereditary challenges, and while socioeconomic restraints can limit your ability to change your physical environment, we all have the ability to make conscious lifestyle choices.” Conscious lifestyle choices during pregnancy are what experts like Standard believe are key for a healthy baby. Standard shared with BlackDoctor.org four things Black women can do before birth to help ensure a healthy baby: 1. Diet Trips to Popeyes and your favorite greasy spoons have got to stop, ladies. This childbirth educator says that you should “Eat little to no fried and/or fast foods and increase your fruits and vegetables. Also, make sure to stay hydrated with water and keep an eye on portion control.” 2. Exercise Breaks out those running shoes and that Nike warmup suit that you only wore to look to cute in. Even though you’re pregnant you can still get a nice sweat in. Standard (Continued on pg. 14)

Personal finance gifts for the new graduate
College graduation season is upon us. How about a gift that will really mean something to a student in your life? The way I see it, the best graduation gift isn't just a check in an envelope – it's coming up with a few great, memorable ideas to help a new grad get a great financial start in life. At a time when money skills for young adults have never been more important, consider the following:
•Buy them a session (or more) with a money coach. If you already work with a qualified financial planner or professional tax preparer, why not pay for a session or two for the new grad to help them work out their first budget as a working adult? Take the time to talk with the professional about specific financial issues the grad will need to address as well as their first, formal budget setup if they've never budgeted
before. • Help them get a start on their retirement savings. Again, most of these gift ideas can come from one person or a group throwing in cash contributions. Consider taking your new grad out to open a Roth IRA (https://www.irs.gov/ Retirement-Plans/RothIRAs) or Traditional IRA (https://www.irs.gov/Retirement-Plans/Traditional-IRAs). Early retirement investing is one of the most
important lessons any new college grad can learn. • If they're continuing school, create a 529 plan or contribute to an existing one. Many new college graduates return to school to start a master's degree or other advanced training. If such an idea makes sense for your finances, consider opening or contributing to a 529 college savings plan (https://www. irs.g ov/uac/529-Plans:Questions-and-Answers) to
support their continuing education. A 529 plan is a college savings plan set up by a state or educational institution that offers tax advantages and potentially other incentives to make it easier to save for college and other post-secondary training for a designated beneficiary, such as a child or grandchild. A friend or a relative can set one up and name anyone as a beneficiary – the new grad, another relative, even yourself – and there are no income restrictions on doing so. You'll also be free to change the beneficiary if necessary. One suggestion – before you act, talk it over with the new grad or his or her family members to make sure this is the best approach for helping with their future education. • If your new grad loves a company, consider buying them a few shares. Again, evaluate this decision against your own finances and pa-
rental opinion, but if there is a particular company the new grad has bought merchandise from or otherwise has taken a great interest in, consider going with them to a brokerage to buy a few shares in the company. Make it a lesson not only in the purchase process, but in the valuation, tax and ownership issues anyone has to deal with as a long-term shareholder. Even though he or she will probably own more investments in mutual funds over a lifetime, understanding the ownership of individual stocks will inform all the investing they do. Bottom line: Money issues can be daunting for today's new graduate. Why not disarm their concerns with some solid advice from experts you trust? By offering up basics in budgeting, saving and investing, you just might become one of their favorites.
Four lies we tell ourselves that can sabotage our retirement
We like to think it’s things beyond our control—job layoffs, market downturns, big unanticipated expenses— that undermine our planning
efforts and make achieving a secure retirement such a challenge. But the truth is we often inflict the most serious damage on our own by de-
luding ourselves into believing we’re making reasonable decisions when we’re not. Here are four examples of the kind of lies we tell our-

selves (or, for a more charitable spin, the excuses we make) that can can dramatically sabotage our chances of retirement success. Lie #1: I can’t afford to save now, but I’ll definitely get serious in the future. The problem with this justification is that it may take longer to get started than you think, as demonstrated in a recent Prudential TV commercial featuring Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert. The spot opens with a shot of a big blue wall that shows the ages 20 to 45 depicted on a vertical scale in five-year increments. Gilbert asks a group of young people put a paint mark on the wall at the age they think they should start saving for retirement. He then asks an older group to mark the age at which they actually started to save. The idea is to visually portray the retirement savings “action gap”—the difference between when we know we ought to start sav-
ing and when we eventually get around to it. In this case, based on a survey of more than 2,500 people done before the shoot, that gap was six years, with the youngsters saying they should start at age 26 on average and the oldsters having launched their savings effort at 32. If you think getting a late start saving for retirement of just six years is no biggie, think again. A 26-year-old who makes $40,000 a year, gets 2 percent annual raises, saves 15 percent of yearly pay and earns 6 percent annually on his savings would accumulate a nest egg of just under $1.2 million by age 65. If that person waits six years until age 32 to get started, his nest egg would total roughly $855,000. That’s $345,000, or almost 30 percent, less for missing just those initial six years. If our fictional 26-yearold holds off 10 years until age 36, the nest egg shrinks to $685,000, some $515,000, (Continued on pg. 15)

Infant mortality (Continued from pg. 12) said ,”This can be as simple as walking for 30 minutes 3-4 time per week. “ 3. Blood pressure and blood sugar management Since you’ll be eating better and working out, be sure to check your blood sugar. This can be supported with diet and exercise along with medication if prescribed by your health care provider. 4. Avoid toxic substances And of course, things like drugs and alcohol must be completely eliminated in order to decrease the risk of infant mortality. After Birth There have been a number of initiatives to encourage Black women to breastfeed. Statistics have shown that women who breastfeed decrease their child’s chances of dying from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Initiatives such as Black Breastfeeding Week and Instagram accounts like Blactavist are doing a lot to push
the agenda of breastfeeding in the Black community. Leigh Anne O’Connor, an international board certified lactation consultant, has been working with breastfeeding families for two decades. Her work in the Black community has revealed some very shocking news regarding Black women during pregnancy. She says that a lot of Black women aren’t treated fairly in the hospitals because of their race. O’Connor believes that doctors don’t see Black women as empowered and capable, which leads them to offer things like cesarean sections right away (which isn’t standard protocol). C-sections in the Black community are higher than any other race. This method of childbirth makes breastfeeding even harder. The longtime advocate of breastfeeding believe that children who are breastfed are healthier and have decreased risk of illnesses, suck as asthma, leukemia, obesity, eczema and type 2 diabetes to name a few. O’Connor also says that having a doula during pregnancy can also decrease the risk of infant mortality.

THIS WEEK IN
Four lies about retirement Friday April 29: On this date in 1992, the Rodney King riots in Los Angeles began. This was one of the first urban insurrections since the 1960's and it shocked many Americans who had come to believe that the days of explosive racial tensions were behind them. According to the officers, King emerged from his automobile in an aggressive manner that suggested he might have been high on drugs. Before handcuffing King, the police delivered some 56 blows and kicks and a number of shocks from a stun gun to the fallen body of the suspect. A bystander captured the beating on videotape and within two days the footage was being broadcast on national television. King brought charges of brutality against four of the policemen. The officers, who claimed they acted in self-defense, were tried before a predominantly white jury in a white middle-class suburb of Los Angeles. On April 29, 1992, all four men were acquitted. Within two and a half hours of the verdict, a crowd of furious protesters gathered at the corner of Florence and Normandie Streets in South Central Los Angeles and through the next day and night rioting exploded across 50 square miles. At the same time, smaller disturbances occurred in cities such as San Francisco, Seattle, Atlanta, and Pittsburgh. Saturday April 30: On this date in 1862, L’Union, the first black newspaper in the South was published in New Orleans. The paper primarily spoke for the state's established community of free people of color, although also for slaves and newly freed blacks. The paper suspended publication on July 19, 1864. However another publication was begun soon after. It too ceased publication after a short while. The New Orleans Tribune traces its heritage back to the shortlived second publication in 1864 and claims to be the newspaper of record for the black community of New Orleans. Sunday May 1: On this date in 1865, former black slaves started Memorial Day in America. The event occurred in Charleston, SC to honor 257 dead Union soldiers who had been buried in a mass grave in a Confederate prison camp. They dug up the bodies and worked for 2 weeks to give them a proper burial as gratitude for fighting for their freedom. Together with teachers and missionaries, black residents of Charleston organized a May Day ceremony that year which was covered by the New York Tribune and other national papers. The freedmen cleaned up and landscaped the burial ground, building an enclosure and an arch labeled, “Martyrs of the Race Course.” Nearly 10,000 people, mostly freedmen, gathered on May 1 to commemorate the war dead. Involved were about 3,000 black school children newly enrolled in Freedmen’s schools, mutual aid societies, Union troops, black ministers, and white northern missionaries. David W. Blight described the day: “This was the first Memorial Day. African Americans invented Memorial Day in Charleston, South Carolina. What you have there is black Americans recently freed from slavery announcing to the world with their flowers, their feet, and their songs what the war had been about. What they basically were creating was the Independence Day of a Second American Revolution.” Monday May 2: The Children’s Crusade of the American Civil Rights Movement’s began on this date in 1963. This was a march by hundreds of school students in Birmingham, Alabama, on May 2, May 3, May 4, and May 5, 1963, during the Movement’s Birmingham Campaign. Organized by Rev. James Bevel, the purpose of the march was to walk downtown and talk to the mayor about segregation in their city. The next day, Birmingham police chief “Bull" Connor brought in fire hoses to ward off the children and set police dogs after the children to stop the marches. Though the fire hoses and dogs used prevented them from meeting the Mayor, the students remained nonviolent. This event prompted President John F. Kennedy to publicly and fully support passage of the Civil Rights Acts, something he would not live to see enacted. Tuesday May 3: The Supreme Court of the United States struck a decisive blow for racially-restrictive housing covenants on this date in 1948 when the justices ruled 6-0 (with three not attending) that racially restrictive covenants cannot be enforced by courts since this would constitute state action denying due process of law in violation of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. Shelley v. Kraemer did not outlaw covenants, but prevented a state from enforcement of the practice. The case arose when a white homeowner in St. Louis refused to follow the code and sold to a black family. Wednesday May 4: African American, self-taught photographer Richard Samuel Roberts was born on this day in 1880. Roberts rented a studio in the heart of Columbia, S.C.’s African American commercial district on Washington Street in 1922, at the same time working as a post office custodian from 4 a.m. to noon. For the next 14 years, the thousands of pictures that Roberts took comprise a stunning visual history of every aspect of the African American community in South Carolina’s capital city. He frequently took his camera into the heart of the segregated Black District of Columbia and also to other towns and cities in the state. Roberts’ clientele was, for the most part, Columbia’s black population. He photographed every facet of his community including bankers, teachers, social workers and even magicians, although he also made portraits of all people, regardless of race or economic conditions. After his death in 1936, his children stored his negatives in the family home in the Arsenal Hill section of Columbia. Roberts’ work came to light in 1977, when researchers at the University of South Carolina’s South Carolinian Library, through his children, retrieved more than 3,000 negatives. Many of Roberts’ portraits have been collected and published in a book, “A True Likeness: The Black South of Richard Samuel Roberts: 1920-1936.” The pictures are the most realistic collective images of South Carolina’s African-American life in the early 20th century, especially the rise of the economically secure middle class. www.milwaukeetimesnews.com
(Continued from pg. 13) or nearly 45 percent, less than with the early start. As Gilbert says in the commercial, “This gap between when we should start saving and when we do is one of the reasons why too many of us aren’t prepared for retirement.” Lie #2: If I fall behind, I’ll make up for it with higher investment returns. This rationale sounds convincing enough, but it implies you have control over how much your investments earn. News flash: You don’t. While you likely can improve investing results by sticking to low-cost index funds, you’re still pretty much at the mercy of whatever raw returns the financial markets deliver, which many pros expect to be considerably lower than there were in the past. Of course, you can try shooting for higher gains by, say, increasing the percentage of your portfolio you invest in stocks or by channeling more of your money into high-octane investments like technology and emerging market shares, bu doing so necessarily means taking on more risk and dramatically increasing the chance of your investing strategy going badly awry. In short, anyone who thinks he can count on his investing prowess to make up for poor retirement planning is deceiving himself or simply doesn’t understand how the financial markets work. Either way, he’s playing a dangerous game. Lie #3: I don’t need to do a full-fledged retirement check-up. I have a pretty good feel for where I stand without crunching the numbers. Really? So you can assess in your head how
much the savings you’ve already accumulated will grow between now and the time you retire plus how much you’ll save over the rest of your career will add to that amount, and then gauge the probability that that the sum of those figures will be able to support you over a retirement that could last upward of 30 years. Just when did you receive your Nobel Prize in economics? Fact is, the only way you can realistically gauge whether you’re on track toward a secure retirement—or, if you’re already retired, see whether you’re spending down your nest egg at a sustainable rate—is to plug information about your savings and investments into a retirement income calculator that can estimate your odds of retirement success (or hire an adviser who can do the analysis for you). Even that won’t guarantee 100 percent accuracy. After all, we’re talking about projections, which are inherently squishy, especially when so many variables (how the markets will perform, whether you’ll meet your saving and spending targets, how long you’ll live) are involved. But by doing this sort of analysis and then repeating it periodically—say, every year or so— you’ll be able to get a sense of whether you’re moving closer or farther away from your goal and then make gradual adjustments, if necessary, to get back on course.
Lie #4: If all else fails, I’ll just work in retirement. Again, this assertion seems plausible at first glance. Indeed, the Employee Benefit Research Institute’s 2016 Retirement Confidence Survey reports that 67 percent of workers are planning to work for pay in retirement. But just as there’s a disconnect between when people say they’ll start saving for retirement and when they actually do, so too is there a gap between the number of people who claim they’ll work in retirement and how many actually do. And in fact, the EBRI survey finds that only 27 percent of retirees have actually worked for pay in retirement. That’s not to say that future retirees might not act differently, if for no other reason that these days retirees can easily shop for jobs by going to sites such as RetiredBrains.com and Retirementjobs.com. But that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll find a job that you enjoy or that pays as much as you’d like, or that you’ll be as eager to hold down a retirement job as you thought you would be before you retired. Bottom line: Working periodically or part-time can be an excellent way to raise some extra spending cash and stay more socially engaged. But working is a better solution if you’re doing it because you really want to, not because you have no other choice.
