t’s not a one size fits all answer. Do you really need $1 million to retire? Or is it $2 million for a retired couple? Or is it 10 times your current annual salary?

All of these are nice, neat figures you might have heard.

The bottom line is it boils down to what your expenses are and what your retirement income sources will be. The keys are to retire with as little debt as possible by paying off your mortgage, vehicle loans, and other debt such as boats and credit cards and to save as much as possible by contributing to retirement plans, savings, and other sources of income.

To get started, figure out approximately how much you currently spend on an annual basis. Don’t forget food, credit card bills, insurance, and vacations. Check your numbers against your current “bring home” pay. If your expense numbers are significantly higher than your budget and you don’t save anything every month, you may have underestimated your actual expenses. It is very common for people to underestimate expenses and overestimate their investment returns. Surprisingly, when folks come in to my office and bring me a list of their expenses, the most common budget item left off is food. Since we would like for you to continue to eat during retirement, please don’t forget to budget for food. Next, subtract the expenses you don’t plan to have during retirement (mortgage payment, expenses for kids at home, college expenses, etc.). Finally, add back in money for health care. If you retire before age 65, when Medicare will kick in, and your company doesn’t continue paying for health insurance, you will need to do a little research to figure out how much that will cost .

Remember that for most folks, health care costs go up as you age.

We typically estimate that the average retiree spends about 75-85% of their pre-retirement income in retirement to sustain their lifestyle. However, that is just a rule of thumb. You may not be average. Do your research and then do the math to figure out how much retirement savings you will need. Here’s how to figure it.

Add up all the income you anticipate receiving from retirement sources. This should include social security, rental income, and

pensions. If the amount you anticipate from these sources is equal to or more than what your expenses are then you are in good shape. If not, the remainder will come from what you save in your 401k’s, IRA’s, Roth’s, etc.. Now multiply the number of your yearly gap by 25. That should give you the amount of savings you need so that you can draw the recommended 4% annually from your investments.

For example, let’s say your expenses are $4000 per month to keep yourself fed, clothed, housed, and living the retirement lifestyle that you want. You have $1500 from Social Security and $1000 from a pension for a total of $2500 per month. That results in a shortfall of $1500 per month, or $18,000 per year. $18,000 x 25 = $450,000. That’s the amount you will need in your savings for retirement (401k, IRAs, Roth’s, etc.) to close the gap. Now, these are estimates. You’re probably not “normal” or average. Do some figuring and research.

A Honey-Kissed Holiday Tradition

BY KRISTI ROE-OWEN

F

RETURNS

olks who grew up in Tulsa remember the Hamlet for its legendary honey-kissed ham. For many families, grabbing a holiday ham from this local staple is as much their tradition as taking that cruise through Rhema with the kids, and the Hamlet’s dine-in deli has also been beloved

by Tulsans year-round.

Today, the Hamlet has a brand new look and offers the same legendary succulent ham that Tulsans have enjoyed since 1986.

Located at 91st and Sheridan, the update brings a beautiful new look to the local tradition.

With a sharp urban farmhouse look bedecked in touches of warm wood and lovely industrial features, the new storefront offers all the delicious cuisine you crave in a charming setting updated for the 21st century.

Complete with a large, warm patio, the diner offers a walkup counter where guests can choose from their favorite menu items. If you’ve never tried the original grilled ham sandwich, it is a work of culinary art that will bring a tear to your eye.

Situated between two slices of perfectly toasted wheat bread is a generous helping 8

of Hamlet honey-kissed ham served with swiss cheese, crisp green lettuce, fresh, thick tomato slices, and honey mustard.

Another favorite is the ham salad, a sweet blend of Hamlet ham, egg, pickle relish, and some magic secret ingredient they aren’t sharing that makes it one of the most incredible food experiences you can have in T-town. In addition to the Hamlet’s own honey-kissed ham, they only use Boar’s Head quality meats on deli sandwiches, salads and wraps.

If you’ve ever had Boar’s Head meats before, you know it’s a cut above the rest.

Each item on the menu is available one of three ways: as a sandwich, wrap, or salad. The farm-fresh meal is something the Hamlet takes very seriously; every elemental ingredient served

is fresh and delicious.

You can also still pick up a ham for your home at the counter. Hamlet honey-kissed ham is spiral cut around the bone, making it easy to serve. The slices remain in place until you’re ready to enjoy them. They are completely cooked, so they can be heated or served cold on your own Scoobydoo sandwich masterpiece.

For those with a taste for turkey, the Hamlet also offers a whole cooked turkey. Both the ham and turkey are available in portions of 10 to 40 servings.

Stop by the Hamlet and start a new family tradition today.

ften, around this time of year, adult children returning home for a visit realize for the first time that their parents are far more frail than they expected. Although Mom or Dad always report they are “just fine” when you make those weekly phone calls, during a visit, you realize that this is not the case.

Your parents suddenly seem much older, and you see the memory lapses, or shortness of breath, wavering balance, multiple prescription containers, or other signals of waning health.

During holiday visits adult children may notice that Mom requires assistance with grocery shopping and cooking, that transportation and bill paying are problems, or advancing memory loss or fading eyesight or painful joints keep her from normal activities. Her needs are evident and most likely will become more intense.

It’s hard to accept that your parents now need your help. Unless there’s a sudden crisis like a stroke, adjusting to this new reality takes time. Some adult children have to work through their denial that anything serious is wrong. Others might feel reluctant to get involved, fearing they are “meddling” in their parent’s life. And of course, your parents may be against assistance.

There are accepted measures for the Activities of Daily Living that can indicate when a loved one needs assistance to remain in their own home. These self-care tasks are considered necessary to live independently. Using these guidelines you can begin to assess their independence. Can your parents successfully accomplish the following ADL’s on their own? Bathing/Dressing, Walking without falling, Eating, using the Toilet, and Personal Hygiene. Additional instrumental activities of daily living are: Housework, Preparing meals, Taking medications as prescribed, Managing finances, Shopping, Telephone use, and Transportation.

VOTIVA TREATS A VARIETY OF FEMININE HEALTH ISSUES

BY AMY BETH DOBBINS

eauty is actually more than skin deep. The latest in medical technology is proving that at A New Image Cosmetic Laser Center in Claremore. An established leader in anti-aging, New Image has now partnered with Inspire Med Spa at its Claremore location, adding stateof-the-art capabilities to combat the aging process from head to toe.

New Image is the only medical facility to offer the ground-breaking technology in the area. Specifically, an FDA-cleared device, Votiva, is now available to effectively treat patients for everything from visible skincare issues to those of a more private nature, such as urinary incontinence and vaginal health.

The root cause of the visible signs of aging lies at the cellular level, a byproduct of stress, hormonal changes and nutritional deficiencies. Votiva goes beyond

the quick fix at the surface level and enables a holistic approach.

Initially, a patient’s nutritional and hormonal factors are analyzed via consultation and labs. Then, a customized plan is developed which may use Votiva in conjunction with bio-identical hormonal treatment therapy and nutraceuticals which are administered intravenously.

Heather Pile, Director of Clinical Operations for Inspire Med Spa, explains: “We have put together a proprietary blend of vitamins, minerals and amino acids with the purpose of increasing your cellular heath and giving the regenerative process the fuel it needs to maximize our impact… we are strengthening the cell formation and their functions.”

Votiva treats age spots, wrinkling, discoloration and uneven texture through microneedling and radiofrequency— more deeply penetrating the dermal layer, tightening DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS? skin and stimulating Feminine Rejuvenation Event collagen growth. “Aging JOIN US NOVEMBER 16 skin is like a deflated FROM 5PM TO 7PM balloon,” demonstrates Pile, “These treatments fill CALL (918) 341-2000 the balloon anew.”

Votiva also treats feminine health conditions such as stress incontinence and vaginal dryness and discomfort. Dr. Korgan explains: “In my forty years of family practice I have been frustrated with the treatment options for stress incontinence.

Up until now women with stress incontinence had limited options: minimally effective medications with side effects, surgery with its pain and downtime and exercises.

The Votiva offers treatment with little if any downtime. It is also an effective treatment for women with vaginal dryness who either choose not to use hormones or cannot for some reason.”

A New Image is a pioneer in effective anti-aging treatments with Votiva as the most advanced weapon in its arsenal. This new technology not only changes the solution, it changes the conversation, according to Pile: “It’s not just about vanity. It’s about health. The real question is: how young do you want to feel?”

Solving Your Water Problems with Beautiful Gutters

FOR 35 YEARS

BY KRISTI ROE-OWEN

O

ne of the things that makes Tulsa special is its beautiful and varied homes, many of them dating back to the early 1900s. What many do not realize is the important role rain gutters play in protecting homes from damage caused by the wild Oklahoma weather we all know and love.

Without good gutters, a home is susceptible to all manner of problems. Poor gutter systems and clogged gutters can lead to mold and mildew, home and yard flooding, foundation damage, soil erosion, rotting wood, damaged landscaping, and siding damage.

Serving Tulsa for more than 30 years, Rain Guard of Tulsa specializes in providing beautiful, seamless aluminum and copper gutters. The pride of their offerings is a product called Gutter Helmet, “Gutter Helmet was the very first solid leaf protection cover on the market,” owner David Bootenhoff explained. And the product has stood the test of time as the best in its class. Gutter Helmet is perfect for those torrential springtime downpours we Tulsans have come to expect, capturing as much as 22 inches of rain per hour.

Best of all, forget about the chore of cleaning gutters from a ladder. Developed by an engineer from MIT, Gutter Helmet is completely maintenance-free.

And unlike similar products, Gutter Helmet can be installed over existing gutters rather than having to tear down those you already have.

Rain Guard is the exclusive provider of the Gutter Helmet franchise in Oklahoma, and they take great pride in offering a beautiful product with excellent workmanship. Even after 35 years,

Bootenhoff swears by Gutter Helmet, emphasizing, “This is the best product available. If a better product was available, I’d use it.” Gutter Helmet can be paired with a product called Helmet Heat, which keeps the water flowing even through bitter ice and snow storms Tulsa faces every couple of years. It also comes with a lifetime warranty.

Bootenhoff regularly works with architects and installs gutters on some of Tulsa’s beautiful older homes, many situated in historic areas like Terwilleger Heights. Bootenhoff explained that often by the time a home buyer is purchasing a second or third home, he or she knows the damage that water can do to a home and realizes that value of investing in an attractive gutter system built to protect the home throughout the years.

One of the best things about Rain Guard is that their products match the classic beauty of older homes.

Every gutter installation comes with a 5-year workmanship and 20-year material finish warranty which is fully transferable if you sell your home.

And there’s no better time to get hooked up with this beautiful product. Rain Guard is offering a considerably discounted rate through November 15 with a minimum order of 200 feet. When raindrops fall remember to call.

ome health care affords loved ones unparalleled results. Research reveals that remaining in the home with friends or family as caregivers extends not only the quality of life, but also the actual years of a patient, significantly.

Tristate Medical, a Tulsa business since 2003, specializes in safe transport and patient handling systems. “That means we allow clients to be transferred in and around their homes when a medical condition has rendered them otherwise immobile—in and out of bed; to and from the toilet, storm shelters, easy chairs…”

Patients may be immobile due to a temporary condition—following surgery or a car accident—or they may be immobile due to a long-term condition—muscular dystrophy or aging. From temporary rehabilitation to a permanent need, Tristate is able to assess and accommodate a patient.

Once Tristate is contacted, a complimentary consultation and assessment in the home are scheduled. The level of care and equipment to meet the patient’s needs are determined. If a team of medical care providers is already in place, such as a physical and/ or occupational therapist, Tristate works directly with the team members to design a care plan, and, effectively, equips the team with necessary medical equipment.

Additionally, Tristate trains the team on the medical equipment that will serve as the primary in-home

caregivers to the patient. It also services the equipment if issues arise, and quickly— repairs are typically completed within three to five business day.

The average cost to equip a loved one for in-home care ranges from $4,000 to $15,000. Compare that to average costs of $3,800 per month for an in-house nursing facility or $150-$300 per day for twenty-four hour in-home nursing care. Clearly, the financial savings is exponential over time. Though there are out-of-pocket expense in many cases, Tristate works diligently on behalf of its clients to find available resources and funding to defer costs as much as possible.

Moreover, Tristate offers gently used equipment for lease or purchase to stretch its clients’ dollars.

“A client receives a dreaded diagnosis. He and his loved ones are fearful of the unknown future and overwhelmed about what to do. To lay out a plan that is financially viable and tangible… to help them overcome seemingly insurmountable tasks of daily life… it’s wonderful to bring that kind of peace and outlook,” explains Scott Sawyer, Owner and Sales Manager of Tristate, “That is extremely gratifying. We are helping people.”

ith yet another scorching Oklahoma summer under our belt, it’s hard to believe the holidays are mere weeks away. If you are always on the prowl for the perfect gift we’ve found the place for you!

While certainly not new to Tulsa, Canterbury Lane Gifts is an experience that may not be on your radar, but once you set foot into this South Tulsa gem you’ll instantly want to make this your go-to for not only gift giving, but those occasional “treat yourself” days as well.

The store, which is celebrating its 10-year anniversary, originally began as a booth in Windsor Market. Owner Allison Benesh says her mother had her involved from the very beginning. After only a couple of years, their business grew and they moved into a bigger retail location of their own at 10021 S.

says Allison. She goes on to explain, “Our customers are so loyal and building relationships with them over the years is one of my favorite aspects of the store.”

Canterbury Lane prides itself not only first-class customer service, but also the lines of merchandise they carry. Many of the items they sell can scarcely be found anywhere else in the area.

Some of these include Beatriz Ball handmade serving pieces, Caldrea home cleaning line, Isa’s Dead Sea lotions and many objects from local artisans such as Bombdiggity Bath Bombs and art from Laura Austin.

The moment you walk into the store all of your senses come alive with smells and images of holiday whimsy. But, maintaining exquisite customer service is the primary focus. “We want to accommodate each customer with whatever they may need, whether it be a special order, finding the perfect gift or providing that

something extra with our alwaysfree gift wrap.” Allison goes on to say, “Everyone loves to give and get pretty gifts and we’re here to make that happen.”

Allison has a lot of help from her store manager, Jordan Koscielniak, who has just as much passion about shopping local as Allison. One thing Jordan is quick to point out, “You can probably find some of our items online, but those big companies can’t greet you with a smile or give back to the local economy.” Giving back is something the store takes seriously. They are involved with Family & Children Services, Jenks Schools and even various fundraisers their customers partake in. Stop in today to find someting special.

s the only fall-oriented

home and garden show in the Tulsa market, the timing could not be better. The show will feature hundreds of booths with a mix of both local exhibitors and companies from around North America. This expo will help you connect with experts in a broad range of fields including: Kitchens & Baths, Outdoor Living, Energy Savings and Home Technology to name a few. With over 40 major business categories represented, this event will certainly prove helpful to your immediate needs before the end of the year as well as pre-planning spring projects around the house. The show also features a variety of personal products and services, gift ideas, and family-oriented fun for all ages.

The 2017 Fall Home Expo, a Tulsa Home Shows production, opens at noon on Friday, November 17th and runs through 5pm on Sunday, November 19th. It is located in the Exchange Center at Expo Square on the Tulsa Fairgrounds. The show is sponsored by Junk King, which is known as America’s greenest junk removal service, with special thanks to Values Magazine again this year.

Admission and parking are both free and there will be a $500 daily Visa gift card giveaway. Folks enteringg

the giveaway will receive a valuable free gift just for entering, while supplies last.

Now in its 4th year, Fall Home Expo brings all this plus much more to you and your family. Additional show feature include: the Rescue Roundup, HGTV Star Kraig Bantle of Garage Gold fame on stage daily, The Little Light House book fair fundraiser, and The HBA Charitable Foundation Tiny Home fundraiser.

In fact, Santa and his helpers will even be there for great free photo opportunities.

Kraig Bantle will be showcasing highlights from his many years searching for “garage gold,” which refers to items of unexpectedly high value that have lain dormant in a garage or storage area. The passage of time can affect an item’s value in both positive and negative ways. Kraig will be available for question and answer periods as well. During these times, he can help you with his tips and secrets on how to track down the value of items that you have tucked away at your home.

Rescue Roundup is a unique gathering of several of the Tulsa area’s top pet adoption groups. The goal of the Rescue Roundup is to find families for as many pets as possible.

Health & Wellness

The idea of a fountain of youth goes back as far as history records have been kept. It is the talk of myths and legends dating back to at least the days of Alexander the Great. It is no surprise that many people the world over want to stay young and healthy as long as possible while maintaining their youthful energy. The Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon thought he would find this fountain in what is present day Florida, but even he would be shocked by what researchers found in only four known water springs today.

Nobel Prize nominee Dr. Garth Nicolson, has been researching the properties of these water sources after hearing many claims these waters held healing benefits when people drank from it. These claims go back centuries, and even wealthy celebrities have been known to visit these unique springs for their special benefits. The question is, could these springs truly be some type of “fountain of youth” or healing water source?

This started a journey of discovery unlike anything he could imagine. “What we found was amazing, and we knew this was a life changing discovery,” Nicolson says. What his research uncovered after multiple tests from these sources was shocking. The water samples taken revealed these springs have one specific element to the water not found anywhere else naturally on earth. These waters contain large amounts of hydrogen.

According to Nobel Prize winning scientist Albert Szent-Györgyi, hydrogen is considered the most powerful known anti-oxidant on earth. The significance of this discovery revolutionizes everything we know about water and it’s relationship with anti-oxidants.

The scientific studies demonstrating the benefits of antioxidants are unprecedented when it comes to the number of benefits. Some of these benefits are the protection of cells in the body from dangerous free radicals that age our cells. These free radicals oxidize our cells internally much the same way metals rust and apples turn brown when exposed to air. These free radicals are found in our environment and the food we eat everyday thus leading to increased aging of the body, with some becoming chronically ill.

Drinking hydrogen enriched water, floods the cells of the body with anti-oxidants and protects them from the aging process. These anti-oxidants can also be found in a host of fruits and vegetables, but water is the most effective delivery system for these anti-oxidants to reach our cells because of the molecular properties of hydrogen in the water.

Japanese scientists have also taken note of this discovery, and the people of Japan experience some of the best health and longevity of any country in the world. One company has even pioneered a patented way to have this hydrogen rich anti-oxidant water for home use. The device was also awarded numerous patents world-wide, and has produced such great results it is even used in hospitals across Japan. It is estimated that as many as 20% of households in Japan now also use this exciting technology. Using their innovative process, anyone can now have access to this life changing water and experience the benefits.

Many individuals that have struggled for years with the debilitating pain from gout, arthritis, inflammation, diabetes, fibromyalgia, high blood pressure, and a host of other issues have reported amazing benefits from drinking this unique water.

Some have reported feeling younger and having more energy throughout the day. Others have reported healthier skin and hair after using this special water.

After experiencing some of these benefits first hand Brent Nicholson and his wife Rhonda founded a local green country company called IO Pure. They are very passionate about helping others and spreading the word about this unique water “I find a lot of people are worried about what is in their water and whether it is safe to drink or not.” “I also find others are looking for relief from chronic issues like diabetes, high blood pressure, gout, and arthritis,” Brent says. He and his wife Rhonda are also holding a special presentation about this exciting anti-oxidant water, and the first 15 families to attend this presentation will receive a free QuikTrip gas card. If any of this sounds interesting, looks good, or just feels right, you can call 918-747-9100 to find out how to attend this event, and whether this breakthrough in water technology could be a good fit for you or not.

For many years our team has worked tirelessly to be remembered for the ways we have always went above and beyond to solve their problems. From “hello” to “problem solved,” this group is fully focused on an experience customers will enjoy, feel at ease

David said anything that was done here under the Glover banner, we will continue to honor just as before; including Engines for Life.

“This is different from simply maximizing sales of a product. As a result, our biggest strength is customer satisfaction. Our brand is associated with quality products and happy customers...customers who see our quality, feel safe and secure, and say positive things about our people and company.

Good auto service starts with a relationship between the advisor and the customer, and that cannot be obtained when the customer sees a new advisor each time they need service or repairs.

Our long-term service team knows our customers personal vehicles and client fleet vehicles, we pull their history and have experience in its “nuances”, which helps avoid things being missed... and that’s something people appreciate.”

They WOW their customers by scheduling their next appointments and personally follow-up to and verify that everything is okay.

Joe Baker, commercial fleet and diesel service manager, firmly believes that honesty is one of their most important attributes. “We won’t fix it unless it is broke,” says Joe. “We know that it’s imperative to a business owner to have their company vehicles running in tiptop condition. When they need service and repairs they need to be done fast, thorough and efficient.

Our people are fully certified D.O.T. technicians; and also have on staff an ISUZU master certified technician with over 30 years experience. Overall, our truck shop has 75+ years combined experience in heavy duty truck, RV and diesel engines.”

any find it difficult at best to not only plan end-of-life services for their loved ones, but even more so to think about it for themselves. Sadly, at some point, most of us are faced with these decisions we are often unprepared for.

Reynolds & Sons and AdamsCrest Funeral Service has been in the business of helping families for more than 18 years. With two locations, one in Tulsa at 1916 S. Sheridan Rd and the original location in Collinsville at 1501 W. Main, they have been serving Oklahoma families at some of the most trying times of their lives.

Operations Manager Charles Canoe explains that one of their goals is to treat every person who walks in their door with respect and dignity. “I never really understood until I lost my own brother what you go through when a loved one dies. It changed how I do business in every aspect. We’ll do whatever we can to help each family that walks through our doors.”

Reynolds & Sons and AdamsCrest Funeral Service is unique in the fact that they are with the customer from start to finish and as Charles explains, that means round-the-clock service. “If we get a call that someone has passed away, we are the ones who go to the hospital and take the loved one to the funeral home to prepare them for embalming, cremation or whatever their family has chosen for them. We don’t use a service. That alone gives families a lot of peace.”

This distinct aspect of care has led many customers 30 |

to pre-plan their own funerals. The advantage?

“Besides having payment plans,” Charles explains, “the price is locked in at today’s prices and your family doesn’t have to agonize over rising funeral costs. It takes a lot of worry away from your family financially and emotionally.”

Modern technology has definitely had an impact because it allows families to easily share their condolences and grief. It also provides a way for family and friends to help with costs through online funding services. “Many people are in the financial situation of not having the means to afford a service and with the availability of the internet, they are able to get help from friends and relatives,” says Charles.

The business also uses their website for on-line memorials, grief support resources, Social Security and veteran benefit questions.

“We want to provide the highest level of individualized service and care to our neighbors.

That’s who we are.”

sn’t it nice when you meet someone and you just know that they are a genuine “people person?” When you visit with Mike Rener and his service staff at Route 66 Nissan of Tulsa, that’s the feeling you get. They truly enjoy taking care of people and their Nissans.

Mike Rener, service manager, has over 30 years experience

in the automotive business. In his early days, he first began as a lot porter at a dealership in Pasadena, California, and moved to Oklahoma in 1986 where he has since spent his career as a service advisor and was promoted to service manager.

His ability to relate to customers comes from his desire to help customers have an enjoyable and

comfortable experience when they come to the dealership.

He has passed on these caring traits to his staff and customers appreciate their caring attitudes.

“Caring is real at Route 66 Nissan,” says Mike. “Customers have emotions and feelings, and I and my staff sincerely enjoys making everyone who comes here feel comfortable and happy.”

How to Save on Credit Card Processing

BY JOCELYN WOOD, RCB BANK

Ever wonder if you’re paying too much for credit card processing? Follow this guide to discover if you can reduce your costs.

1.

Gather Knowledge

To know if you’re getting the best deal from your merchant service provider (MSP), you first need a basic understanding of credit card processing and fees, according to Eddie Curran, RCB Bank vice president of business services.

Fees vary among companies, based on a wide range of variables.

“Familiarize yourself with the interchange rate,” Curran says. “This is the fee credit card companies charge MSPs to process their cards. This isn’t a flat rate fee but a range.”

Multitudes of factors affect it. For example, is the card a debit or credit? How is the card information entered, swiped, inserted or keyed? Is it a consumer or commercial card?

Are there rewards like miles or points?

“These variables impact the interchange fee per card transaction,” Curran says.

MSPs decide how they charge 38 |

VALUES

TULSA NOVEMBER 2017

for interchange fees and other costs for credit card processing.

A popular payment method is a flat rate. You pay the same price per transaction plus additional costs.

Another option is a cost-plus, or interchange-plus-pricing rate.

You pay the actual interchange rate per transaction plus additional costs. This fee option adjusts per transaction.

“While a flat rate may sound convenient, you may get better transaction pricing with a costplus program,” Curran notes.

2.

Compare Pricing

Processing fees and services are not the same across the industry.

Compare pricing to make certain you are getting the best deal.

Request an itemized list of all fees and services. Then, ask questions. When are fees taken out? How are they calculated?

What assistance is provided in the event of a chargeback? What happens if there is a problem with the equipment? Am I buying or leasing equipment? When will I get my funds? What are the terms? What support is available and when?

“In any discussion, answers to

questions should be very clear,” Curran advises.

“If you feel you’re getting the run around or you don’t understand completely, step away and seek help before you make any decision. Not paying attention to details may get you locked into a long-term contract that may end up costing you lots of money in the long run.”

3.

Choose Wisely

Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Get a second opinion.

Understand the terms of the deal completely, and have it spelled out clearly in writing.

“Take time before you sign,” says Curran. “Make sure the service provider is working to secure a deal that works best for you and allows you to process cards in the manner you need.”

TULSA NOVEMBER 2017

HELPING YOU CREATE THE

RETIREMENT OF YOUR DREAMS

BY MELANIE HASTY-GRANT

Melanie Hasty-Grant and Ken Grant of Waterstone Private Wealth Management offer soon-to-be retirees tips on planning life after retirement.

M

y retirees aren’t sitting around in their rocking chairs!

The retirement bucket lists of today are full of the hopes and dreams that have finally come to fruition. Through sacrificing, saving, and careful planning and investing these folks have reached their goals and are reaping the benefits. From restoring old cars and Cushmans, to living at the lake, traveling to dreamt-about locations like Alaska and Canada, picnicking with grandchildren, loving on pets who are like children, judging rodeos, starting th own businesses, going to their b wl games, bo g bowl and moving to really ol golfi gol ng and retirement cool com mmunit communities, they are busier than ever checking off that than b cket list. In fact, most of bu bucket the time t the when I call them ab about scheduling a meeting t go over their investments, to it is difficult for them to find time. They often tell me, “I’m not sure how I ever found time

to work.” Nothing makes me happier than seeing them get to do what we had planned for over the last years of their work life.

They deserve it.

But, this whole retiring thing is not easy sometimes. It is definitely a process! Of course, the primary goal that I assist clients with at this point in my career is the money goal. We do a complete financial assessment.

One of the biggest questions that pre-retirees have is, “Will

I have enough money to last throughout my retirement?”

Working with a trusted financial professional can help you to determine if the savings you have will be enough or if you need to be saving more. It matters who you trust and who you work with. This is usually a lifetime relationship, and it needs to be with someone that you work well with and that will spend the time needed to make your financial life successful. During the planning

phase, we help clients create a debt reduction plan, a retirement savings plan, and an income plan to replace their salary. However, in addition to adjustments and planning regarding your money, there are also other psychological and emotional challenges. This is where the counselor in me takes over. One of the issues soon-to-be retirees face is redefining their identity. Who am I if not for my job title or company position?

Developing a “you are more than what you do” attitude helps to make this change. Think of how you might transfer skills of your current job into hobbies, volunteerism, or a part-time job.

Another common but related issue is finding a purpose for your life. It’s important to not just be retiring from something, but also to something.One idea to help you develop a new purpose is to develop a bucket list of 100 things or more you would like to do during your retirement. New goals and dreams are important during this time to provide purpose and stability of identity. Develop a sense for how you will create meaning in your life.

Think about how you want to spend your time. There is a lot more freedom of time when retired. Retirees often fantasize about having so much free time to do hobbies, etc. Initially, the 42 |

fantasy becomes reality and it feels exactly as they had envisioned.

They are golfing or fishing every day and having a great time.

However, eventually having a routine helps to normalize the transition. We encourage clients to start “practicing” being retired.

Start doing some of the things on a daily basis that you plan to do in retirement.

Finally, be proactive about potential changes in relationships.

Often there are changes in relationships between spouses, children, and grandchildren.

For spouses, often spending 24/7 together is more than challenging. If one spouse has always been at home, there can

be “turf wars” about who is in charge of what. Also, not having the social time with co-workers in the break room is a change.

If you are used to having a lot of your social interaction needs met at work, then this can be difficult. We encourage clients to be proactive in addressing changes in relationships and expectations. I hope you find this information helpful in preparing for this wonderful time in your life.
