When the Bible says “one” it means one to the exclusion of all others. That means, not one among two, or three, or five. “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. Who gave himself a ransom for all” (I Timothy 2:5-6) The ransom has been paid, trying to add your two cents is just a show of unbelief.

The Wisconsin Automobile and Truck Dealers Association (WATDA) Foundation, supported by dealerships and other industry partners, annually awards scholarships to students across the state pursuing their education in automotive, diesel, motorcycle or collision at the Wisconsin Technical Colleges.

Among the recipients is Noah Wagner of Boscobel, WI. He will receive a $2,000 tuition scholarship sponsored by Fillback Ford in Highland, WI. They will also provide Wagner with on-the-job training and mentoring while he attends the automotive program at Southwest Wisconsin Technical College (SWTC) in Fennimore, WI. In addition to the scholarship, Wagner will receive a tool set valued at $4,855 from Snap-on Corporation headquartered in Kenosha, WI. The WATDA Foundation has proudly awarded more than 2,200 transportation scholarships since its founding.

Older adults hoping to retire this year may have a new factor to consider. Aspiring retirees may have to play it very smart to ensure they can maximize their savings for the long haul. It’s a one-two punch caused by continuously rising costs of everyday items and a bearish market for bonds - one of the most common hedges retirement plans use to offset stock declines. Bonds have been suffering historic losses, according to data from Barclays Aggregate Bond Index. The typical rule of thumb used to be to spend no more than 4 percent of a portfolio’s original value each year to plan for retirement. With no gains or losses, that money would last around 25 years. However, experts at The American College of Financial Services say that, in today’s economy, 4 percent and even 3 percent may be too aggressive. According to Nora Dowd Eisenhower, executive director at the Philadelphia Mayor’s Commission on Aging, higher food prices, longer life expectancies and higher rents/housing costs often lead to financial challenges for people in retirement. Data from the U.S. Current Population Survey shows a trend in the number of people no longer in retirement. In September 2022, the unretirement rate was 2.6 percent, up from 2.4 percent in August. Wealth advisors indicate retirees need to look long and hard at their spending habits, even spending less than their wealth could support. This can help them ride out the ups and downs of the market that affect prices on goods and services. Working with a good financial advisor also can help retirees manage their savings to maximize their money for the years to come.

How seniors can engage with the community

hough a significant percentage of individuals report desires to retire later in life, many people stop working around the age of 62. The desire for a later retirement may stem from financial concerns or because some people wonder just what they will do when they’re no longer working.

Retirement is a time for hardworking individuals to enjoy themselves and their newfound free time. Interacting with the community can keep the brain engaged and foster beneficial social connections. In recognition of the value of staying engaged, the following are a few ways for seniors to become more involved in their communities.

 Join a club or group. Identify an activity you find interesting and determine if there is a way to get involved with it in your community. Senior centers or adult activity providers may sponsor local programs.

 Participate in worship. Many older adults find they want to reconnect with their faith at this point in their lives, even if attending services hadn t been a top priority earlier in life. each out to your local house of worship and

find out when services take place and which activities they offer.

 Read to children. Volunteer your services at the library by reading to youngsters. Interacting with other generations can be inspiring.

 Volunteer at a soup kitchen or food pantry. Times continue to be challenging for many people who may find it hard to cover their expenses. Soup kitchens and food pantries can be a saving grace for those who might otherwise miss meals. Volunteering some hours at these organizations can do worlds of good and help you make a difference.

 Befriend neighbors. A passing “hi and bye wave may have been the norm when you were busy working a ob. ow that you have free time, you can get to know neighbors better and even take turns hosting gettogethers. Moving to a retirement or active adult community with others in similar positions may facilitate such friendships.

 Volunteer with local government ind out ways you can become involved civically. Perhaps you can run in a local school board election or

 Become a substitute teacher or paraprofessional. any schools are experiencing shortages of ualified staff. ou may find your place helping to shape the minds of youngsters by volunteering at schools or taking on

part time obs in the classroom. Seniors can be more engaged in their communities, thus strengthening their social capital, the term scientists often use to describe the strength of their social relationships, and the extent to which people feel physically and emotionally supported by their communities.

Socialization in midlife can have a profound impact on individuals as they approach their golden years. A study led by researchers at University College ondon found that being more socially active in your s and s predicts a lower risk of developing dementia later in life. The study used data from a previous study that tracked more than , participants between and . Participants in the study completed cognitive testing from onwards. esearchers found that someone who saw friends almost daily at age was percent less likely to develop dementia than someone who only saw one or two friends every month. Strong associations between social contact at age and subse uent dementia were also uncovered. The study supports the idea that remaining socially active in one s s and s can benefit long term cognitive health.

Tips to pick the right time to retire

 Consider age-related benefits. Both the United States and Canada feature government-sponsored retirement income programs and it behooves individuals to familiarize themselves with the rules of those programs so they can maximize their benefits. The Canada Pension Plan (CPP) allows individuals to begin receiving full CPP benefits at age 65, but they also can get a permanently reduced amount the moment they turn 60. The CPP also allows people to receive a permanent increase if they wait until turning 70 to receive payment. Similar age-related rules govern the Social Security benefits program in the United States, where individuals

can begin claiming benefits at age , though those benefits will be reduced by 25 percent. If individuals wait until they’re 66 or, in some cases, 67, to claim Social Security benefits, they will receive their full benefits. The Social Security Administration notes that those who can wait until age to claim benefits will receive as much as 132 percent of the monthly benefit they would have received at full retirement age. These distinctions are significant, especially for people who will be looking to government-sponsored programs to provide significant financial support in retirement. Individuals who won’t rely as heavily on such programs may be able

to retire earlier.

 Pay off your debts. Carrying debt into retirement can be risky. In general, it s ideal to pay off all debts, including a mortgage and car payment, before retiring. Doing so can provide more financial exibility and make it easier to manage unforeseen expenses, such as those incurred due to health problems.

 Consider your retirement living expenses. It goes without saying that a sizable nest egg will be a necessity for anyone hoping to live comfortably in retirement. But the tricky part is figuring just how big a nest egg might need to be. In such instances, individuals

Travel opportunities for retirees

Cruising

Cruising can be an ideal way for older adults to travel. Cruise ships depart from ports across the world and travelers can choose from an array of itineraries.One reason seniors enjoy cruising is because it’s all-inclusive with little extra planning required. Step aboard a cruise ship and en oy a oating hotel complete with food, lodging, entertainment, shopping, gambling, and much more. Organized excursions at ports of call can add to the thrill of cruising.

Guided tours

Escorted tours are another option seniors may want to consider. By working with reputable tour operators,

seniors can engage in affordable, safe and comfortable tours via bus, train or other modes of travel. Tour companies take the work out of the trips by handling the details and showcasing the best locales. Tour experts know when to schedule meals and sightseeing to avoid the crowds so that everyone can sit back and relax on their adventures.

RV excursions

Travel by recreational vehicle is a great way for individuals with time on their hands to see the sights up close and personal. The RV industry exploded during the pandemic because it provided a safe way to enjoy a vacation and get away from home. MARVAC Michigan RV & Campgrounds says currently more

From hand-tailored patient care to 5-star customer service, we are committed to go above and beyond for our guests assuring they achieve an overall state of happiness, independence and optimal health.

than nine million households own an in the United States. There s no age limit to buying an RV, although the RV Industry Association says the average owner is 48-years-old and married. RV-friendly campsites and parks enable travelers to mingle with each other, providing affordable and fun ways to travel.

Timeshares

Seniors who got in on the timeshare bandwagon early in life can choose to enjoy their travel years even further. The timeshare model enables buyers to purchase the right to use particular homes, condos, hotel rooms, resorts, or other accommodations for specific periods of time. For example, some

can speak with a financial advisor and discuss what their retirement living expenses will be. Conventional wisdom based on the Consumer Price Index suggests individuals will need to replace between 70 and 80 percent of their pre-retirement income after calling it a career. But even that figure is not set in stone, as rising in ation, such as the rapid spike experienced in 2022, can uickly put retirees in financial eopardy. By estimating the expenses they might have in retirement, individuals can begin to see just how close or far away from retirement they may be. Budget for in ation so any spike in living expenses can be easier to manage.

timeshare agreements are for one week each year in a designated location. Seniors with more time on their hands may want to revisit timeshare agreements to increase the frequency in which they can use properties or to find timeshare companies that enable swapping properties with others so that different locales can be en oyed. Visiting family

Retirees may aspire to spend more time with family members who do not live nearby. Families may want to consider mother-daughter residences or properties with small guest houses so that seniors can stay in the residences when visiting but have some privacy at the same time.

Tax breaks aging taxpayers may be eligible for

MCG.METROCREATIVECONNECTION.COM

rowing older comes with many perks for those who are open to exploring the benefits. In addition to senior discounts on movies, meals and more, moving into one s golden years could offer some breaks when it comes to taxes and finances.

It is always best to go over tax- and finance related plans with an accountant or certified financial planner to figure out what is in your best interest. However, generally speaking, here are some potential age-related tax perks.

Increase retirement savings

Older individuals can contribute more to employer-sponsored retirement accounts and Roth or traditional individual retirement accounts (IRAs), according to AARP. For 2023, the contribution limit for employees who participate in 401(k) and 403(b) programs, most 457 retirement savings plans and Thrift Savings Plan through the U.S. ederal Government can increase their contributions to $22,500 - a jump of $2,000 from last year. Those over age 50 can maximize contributions even more, up to a total of $30,000.

Larger standard deduction

The Balance Money says for tax year 2022, people age 65 or older can add an extra $1,750 to the standard deduction

they’re eligible for if they are unmarried and not a surviving spouse. Those who are married and file oint returns can add $1,400. For tax year 2023, those amounts go up to $1,850 and $1,500. In addition, the standard eligible deductions increased. Most older taxpayers feel the bigger standard deduction plus the extra standard deduction is more than any itemized deductions they can claim and choose this option when filing their returns.

Reduce taxable income

The ability to contribute more to taxdefered retirement accounts enables older adults to reduce their taxable incomes. This, in turn, reduces the amount that needs to be spent on income taxes.

Changes in filing threshold

According to The Arbor Company, which oversees senior living communities, the filing threshold is the income that must be made before being re uired to file a tax return. Typical taxpayers who are either employees or retired and drawing pensions or Social Security find the threshold increases over age 65. Single filers over age do not need to file returns if their incomes are $14,050 or under. arried filers over age have a threshold of $27,400. If primary or sole

Did you know?

income comes from Social Security or a pension, those over age 65 may not have to file returns at all.

Elderly or disabled tax credit

Differing from deductions, a credit for taxpayers is available to people age 65 or older or retired persons on permanent and total disability who receive taxable disability income for the tax year, according to the Internal Revenue Service. In addition, this credit is for those who have an adjusted gross income or

the total of nontaxable Social Security, pensions, annuities, or disability income under specific limits. The eligibility levels change from year to year. Credits range from $3,750 to $7,500.

These are some of the tax breaks American seniors can expect when filing their income tax returns. Speak with an accountant and financial planner about other perks that come with aging. Individuals also can visit www.irs.gov for further information.

The burden on health care costs in retirement could be a significant hurdle for retirees without a sizable nest egg or effective strategy to cover such expenses. According to the Fidelity Retiree Health Care Cost Estimate, an average retired couple aged 65 in 2022 could need around $315,000 after taxes to cover their health care expenses in retirement. Thought traditional retirement goals like financing travel or relocating to a warmer climate are worthy pursuits, it s vital that individuals of all ages, including those on the cusp of retirement, recognize the importance of saving for health care expenses as well. Such expenses, which include medication costs, are easy to take for granted when individuals are still working. However, Fidelity notes that generics, branded drugs and specialty drugs account for roughly 17 percent of retirement health care expenses. That equates to around $53,500 that might be needed to pay for medication alone.

Considerations for retirees thinking of working part-time

etirement is an opportunity to wave goodbye to the daily grind. Retirees may focus on rest and relaxation, and many make travel a major component of their lifestyle. According to a 2022 Gallup poll, Americans expect to retire at an average age of 66, up from 62 in 2022. However, most do not hold out that long; the average actual retirement age is 61.

There are a few things to know about working during retirement, particularly if a person is collecting government benefits.

 According to the Social Security Administration, those falling under full retirement age for the entire year (which was raised to age 67 for those born in 1960 or later) will be subjected to an SSA deduction of $1 from your benefit payments for every you earn above the annual limit. For 2022, that limit is $19,560. In the year you reach full retirement age, SSA deducts in benefits for every you earn above a different limit, but they only count earnings before the month you reach your full retirement age. For full

retirement age reached in 2022 your limit on earnings for the months before full retirement age is $51,960. After full retirement age, there is no limit on earnings.

 The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada reports that individuals between the ages of 60 and 65 who continue to work while receiving a Canadian Pension Plan (CPP) retirement benefit must still contribute to the CPP. Your CPP contributions will go toward post-retirement benefits. These benefits increase your retirement income when you stop working. However, if you continue to work while getting a CPP retirement pension and are between the ages of 65 and 70 years old, you can choose not to make any more CPP contributions.

 Keep in mind that if you are on Medicare, extra income could potentially trigger surcharges for parts B and D. It s beneficial to speak with a financial consultant to weigh the pros and cons of part-time work during retirement.

Did you know?

 Part-time work does not need to be daily work. Many retirees work according to how they feel. Some options include seasonal jobs, such as driving shuttles in national parks or working during the holidays in retail stores. Or you may use your expertise to consult or start a business.

 A number of people work part-time during retirement simply to get out of the house. Jobs that help you interact with a number of people can be beneficial, as socialization has been shown to benefit the mental health of seniors.

The Alzheimer s Association reports that remaining socially active throughout adulthood can possibly delay the onset of dementia. And that s not the only benefit to remaining socially engaged as an adult, which researchers have linked to reduced rates of disability and mortality. The Alzheimer’s Association® also indicates that social engagement may reduce the risk for depression in older adults. That s a significant benefit, as the ational Council on Aging notes that the risk for depression is elevated among older adults compared to young adults. Retirees can consider a host of ways to remain socially engaged, whether it’s volunteering, participating in clubs or moving to communities tailored to individuals 55 and older. Such communities may facilitate social engagement among residents by establishing or promoting clubs, organizing group sightseeing trips and arranging for other opportunities for inhabitants to get to know their neighbors.

Explore resources for caregivers

aregivers are called on to step in for any number of reasons. Some serve as companions to the elderly, while others assist those with debilitating diseases like cancer. While many caregivers are professionals hired for their services, a good number of caregivers are informal - meaning they are family members or friends assisting loved ones.

Even though they are trying to help others, caregivers often must confront a form of stress known as caregiver burnout. The Cleveland Clinic states this stress is marked physical, emotional and mental exhaustion that occurs in caregivers. This burnout may lead to fatigue, anxiety and depression. While there may not be a way to

completely eliminate all caregiving stress, there are some ways to prevent burnout. Utilizing various resources can be a start. Here’s a look at some available caregiver resources.

 Trusted friend: Find someone you trust with whom you can discuss your feelings, including any frustration you may feel. This can be a neighbor or a coworker with whom you feel comfortable sharing personal details.

 Support groups: Support groups can provide safe spaces to vent with others who are in the same boat. Houses of worship may host support groups, or you can find out about meetings through hospitals or from personal doctors. The National Family Caregiver Support Program was established in

2000 and provides grants to states and territories to fund a range of support that assists family and informal caregivers to care for their loved ones at home for as long as possible. Other groups include Caregiver Action Network and Family Caregiver Alliance.

 Respite care services: Respite care services provide temporary breaks for caregivers by enabling the sick, elderly or injured to stay in care facilities for anywhere from a couple of hours to a few days. Some respite care services will provide short-term, in-home care as well.

 Professional therapist: Many therapists are trained to counsel individuals who have particular issues. Some may specialize in grief or even caregiver needs. Utilize their services if speaking with a confidante is not enough.

Caregivers often put the needs of others before their own. But they may need a little help along the way, which is where caregiver resources can come into play.
