Marathon Weekend Kicks Off With Health & Fitness Expo

ANN ARBOR (WWJ) - New researchby the University of Michigan shows that 40 percent of older Americans postponed retirement in the wake of the Great Recession.

The research is the first to link actual data on household wealth just before and after the downturn to the retirement plans of a nationally representative sample of Americans age 50 and older.

Brooke HelppieMcFall, an economist at the U-M Institute for Social Research, said the typical household lost aboutfive percent of its total wealth between the summers of 2008 and 2009. She said the average personwould need to work between 3.7 and 5 years longer than they planned in order to make up the money they lost.

But people do not intend to work long enough to make up everything they lost.

In considering when to retire, people make trade-offs between their desire for more leisure and for more time to spend with friends and family, and their desire to be financially secure in retirement, McFall said in a statement.

So the typical person we surveyed who planned to work longer because of the recession only planned to work about 1.6 years longer than they had originally planned. That isnt long enough to make up what they lost, but theyre trading off time for money.

In general, research shows that people who decided to postpone retirement also expected to leave less for their heirs.

With funding from the National Institute on Aging, McFall conducted the analysis using longitudinal data from 900 participants in two ISR studies: the Health and Retirement Study and the Cognitive Economics Study.

She found that people who were pessimists about whether the stock market was going to rebound in the next year, and people who were within two years of their initial retirement age, were the most likely to say they planned to work longer.She also found that the greater the loss, the more likely people were to delay their retirement. Still, she saidvery few people decided that they would work long enough to recoup their entire economic loss.

In the analysis, McFall took into account financial wealth, including stock market, cash and retirement accounts, and net equity in housing wealth, as well as the likely value of future earnings, based on the income and the unemployment rate in the counties where participants lived.

Excerpt from:
Retirement Plans After The Great Recession

And if you need to save for your childrens college as well as your own retirement, youve got a daunting challenge on your hands.

The cost of a college education continues to rise faster than inflation, at roughly 5 percent per year. The average sticker-price for four years at a private college is now more than $150,000 including $38,589 for the 2011-12 school year. Even going to your states university runs close to half that total at an average $17,131 a year, according to the College Board.

Retirement is far more expensive than that.

How do you balance those important objectives? Here are five considerations to keep top-of-mind as you juggle both:

1. PUT RETIREMENT FIRST.

Student loan debt has risen above $1 trillion and the average students debt at graduation now exceeds $25,000, according to the Project on Student Debt. Hoping to keep their own kids from being overly burdened, parents often unwisely sink thousands of dollars into their childrens education that otherwise would have gone toward their own retirement.

The latest evidence of this largesse came in recent survey results by Ameriprise Financial that showed that only 24 percent of baby boomers were putting away money for their future, down from 44 percent at the end of 2007. Yet the level of support they were providing their children and other family members had not changed.

Paying for college has to take a back seat to retirement, says Kalman Chany, a New York financial aid consultant and author of Paying for College Without Going Broke.

The real dilemma is whether youll have enough money left for retirement after repaying your debt, Chany says.

Dont give in to the temptation to pitch in heavily for college without making sure your retirement savings are on track. You may well leave yourself short in the future, especially with retirements now often spanning three decades.

5 ways to balance retirement and college savings

LONDON A new survey by Prudential says people in the UK who want to retire this year are looking forward to traveling the world (36 percent) or enjoying themselves (43 percent). Only 5 percent plan to spend anything on charity.

But the top priority seems to be a prerequisite for their dreams: "Prudential has revealed the results of new research which shows the top priority for people intending to retire this year is saving money to ensure they have enough to live on in retirement. Nearly 6 out of 10 people (57 percent) said saving will be a top priority," the press release said.

"Today's retirees are likely to spend longer in retirement than previous generations," Vince Smith-Hughes, retirement income expert at Prudential, said in the survey press release, "so it is encouraging to see that they understand the importance of saving money to ensure they can live comfortably. Saving shouldn't be regarded as something that suddenly stops once you retire, and the current generation of retirees seems to be more aware of this than ever before."

But for many in the U.S., retirement may just be a pipe dream.

CNN Money featured an article titled "Delaying retirement: 80 is the new 65." About a quarter of middle-class Americans have so little savings that they are planning to delay their retirement until they are at least 80 years old.

Eighty years old is two years longer than average life expectancy meaning that many people are working to save enough money to die some day.

"It sounds depressing, but for many it's a necessity," the CNN article said. "On average, Americans have only saved a mere 7 percent of the retirement nest egg they were hoping to build, according to Wells Fargo's latest retirement survey that polled 1,500 middle-class Americans."

People had a median savings of about $25,000. Their median goal was $350,000.

Clive Crook, a Bloomberg View columnist, said Americans' problem is not Social Security solvency, but that it won't be enough to retire on. "When they retire, many baby boomers will see a far bigger drop in their standard of living than they had expected," he said. "Many will have to work longer, whether they want to or not."

Retirement savings: Too little too late?

The proverbial elephant was in the room - or at least at the Congo Square stage - Friday afternoon at the New Orleans Jazz Fest. To his credit, Mystikal addressed it right away.

"How many of y'all heard I was in jail?" he asked the crowd. "Well, I'm here, so y'all know that was a lie. Now, how many of y'all heard I was going to jail?" There wasmore subdued noise; even at an outdoor festival in response to a headliner's prompt, it feels odd to hoot and holler about impending incarceration.

"Well," Mystikal answered with a sheepish grin, "people talk too much."

Friday's Congo Square set should have been just another in Mike Tyler's accumulating collection of triumphs following his release from prison in early 2010. After serving a six-year sentence for sexual battery and extortion charges, the rapper hit the ground running. He sold out several shows at the House of Blues and ignited Congo Square in 2010 and 2011 with a live funk band.

Almost immediately after his release, he threw himself into the studio with KLC, the producer who had masterminded the bulk of his definitive '90s work for the No Limit label. In late 2011, he signed to New Orleans' other heritage hip-hop independent, Cash Money, whose influence in the world of contemporary rap is nearly unparalleled.

Headlining the Young Money Cash Money showcase at SXSW in 2012, Mystikal was electrifying. Fans from the '90s welcomed him home with open arms, and listeners whose introduction to YMCMB came with new sensations Drake and Nicki Minaj were captivated by his bombastic energy.

Then, about two weeks ago,he was sentenced to three months in jail forviolating the terms of his five-year probation with a domestic violence charge. He will return to jail May 14.

"I'm going through some bad things," he admitted onstage. "But it's gonna be all right."

Mystikal, in white jeans and T-shirt, took the stage with a full funk band, Hot Sausage,that included DJ C. Smith, Galactic's Ben Ellman on baritone sax and Danny Kartel on guitar. The band wore black YMCMB T-shirts customized with Mystikal's name. New Orleans hip-hop icon Mia X, Mystikal's No Limit labelmate, joined him onstage for a snippet of "Make 'Em Say Ungh."

Even before Mystikal fully explored the possibilities of live instrumentation, the comparisons to James Brown flew fast and furious. With a full band, the similarities are pretty apparent; KLC and Leroy "Precise" Edwards' production on Mystikal's best-known songs -- Friday he performed many, including "Tarantula," "Danger," "Never Gonna Bounce," "Here I Go," "The Man Right Chea" and the particularly appropriate "If It Ain't Live It Ain't Me" -- was already funky. Live onstage, Mystikal goes into full-on soul brother mode, yelping, growling and undulating to the music.

Mystikal addresses personal problems in emotional New Orleans Jazz Fest set

Phillies ace Roy Halladay had an uncharacteristically bad start on Wednesday, giving up a six-run lead to the Braves in what eventually became an 11-inning, 15-13 loss to Atlanta.

Afterwards, the media was informed that Halladay would leave the team for personal matters. The timing -- perhaps coincidental and perhaps not -- is curious, but for now, Halladay's departure is none of our business. The only way that changes is if it's something baseball-related and right now that doesn't appear to be the case.

This has nothing to do with baseball, a person with knowledge of the situation told Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly.com.

And that's why the consensus approach to Halladay's departure has been reverent silence. You won't hear mention of the issue, at least as to how it might be part of the reason for Halladay's bad start, from pitching coach Rich Dubee (via MLB.com).

"At times it doesn't seem like his stuff is accelerating through the hitting zone," Dubee said. "At times it does."

Dubee did say, via CSNPhilly.com, that it was "mostly [Wednesday]" when he saw those struggles from Halladay.

It could have been the heat, Dubee said. I dont know. It could be release point. It was a combination of a bunch of stuff. It wasnt a good night."

So maybe part of it is the personal issue. That's fine, it's not like Halladay --as much as he might pitch like one sometimes --is an actual robot. If he's dealing with family issues, he needs to be given space and privacy to do so.

But if it's something that relates to his baseball performance, then it becomes a concern. If you want an example of this, look towards Giants first baseman/outfielder Aubrey Huff, who recently left the team for "personal reasons" that ended up being anxiety.

That's not to knock anxiety: it's a legit problem. But it's also something that directly relates to Huff's ability to perform on a baseball field. No one's lacking sympathy for Huff as a result of his distress, but the fact that his mental condition will effect how he performs on the baseball field does change the way the Giants go about business.
