Investing is the key., And investing money is just like invest­ing your time and effort in a new

·, whether to take a new job. You may decide to be cautious or aggressive. You might want to ask someone who's been there for advice. You may want to do some library research.

Deciding On Your Goals

Investing money takes the same kind of work as picking a school, or starting a business, or deciding on a new job. First, you have to determine what you are looking for. Next, you generally discover that you might have to make some trade-offs. Third, you make a decision and actually act on it, rather than putting it off until tomorrow. ·

Many people use mut1,1al funds in order to get their money to work harder for them. A mutual fund is J! company that makes investments on behalf of its share-holders.

or for some combination of these. Most people would like to invest their money and have absolute safety, high growth in their princi­pal, and lots of income, preferably tax-free.

However, managing your money, just like picking a college or evaluating a job offer, requires being realistic. You can go for high growth or for ta·x-free income, but these items generally won't come in the same mutual fund. You can diversify your port­folio by having more than one kind of fund working for you.

The Investment Company Institute has a "Guide To Mutual Funds" which covers more than 2700 load and no-load mutual funds. It includes explanatory material for the novice mutual fund investor.

Slst State of Security Life Insurance Protects 81 Percent of U.S. Families

News USA

(NU) - Some 155 million Amer­icans have this in common: they are protected by some form of life insur­ance today.

The significance of this, says the American Council of Life Insurance, is that this growing population might be dubbed the 5 lst State of Security.

This security state would boast that 81 percent of its households have life insurance protection, with an average coverage of $110,000 -as is the case in the U.S. today. This is by far the largest family security net system for spouses, children and other dependents - exceeding both social security and private pension plans.

In addition to providing coverage for millions of persons, life insur­ance companies have hundreds of billions of dollars invested in America mainly on the local level - in industry, real estate, mort­gages and government bonds, the Washington, D.C. based trade asso­ciation says. This is not cash lying around in some vault, but active American capital generating jobs -American jobs - by the millions.

American Capital for American Jobs

Altogether, life insurance and pri­vate pension reserves account for 12 percent of America's capital markets, second only to banking in the private sector, according to the Council.

And, unlike foreign sources, these funds provide a particularly stable source of long-term capital.

In your community, the funds are used in projects such as low and medium income housing, local health care and hospital facilities, education _and transportation im­provements and local business development, to name a few.

And on top of all of this, life insurance today costs 30 percent less per $1,000 of coverage than in 1960. . If you would like a state-by-state breakdown on the impact of life insurance industry investments, write to the American Council of Life Insurance, Department W, 1001 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20004-2599 or call 202-624-2410.*

Quit Smoking Now! by Judith Sheldon

NEW REASON FOR GIVING UP SMOKING: By now, you've prob­ably heard all sorts of reasons for chucking tobacco out of your life: its effect on your cardiovascular sys­tem; its tendency to age the skin; its effect on your respiratory system and, of course, its implication in

various types of cancers including (via passive smoke - i.e., the smoke from someone else's cigarettes) cancer in part of the female repro­ductive system.

Now, there's added proof that smoking appears to be linked to the formation of cataracts - a clouding of the lens of the eye.

A study of 838 men showed that the risk of developing cataracts increases with the continuation of smoking. Higher cigarette usage was

PAGE 18 Choose Credit Cards Wisely by Bryon Elson

As of September 1, 1989, the Federal Reserve Board requires credit-card issuers to state "clearly and conspicuously" their methods for calculating balances, annual percentage rates, grace periods, annual fees and other related infor­mation.

Selecting the right card should be easier than in the past, if you know what the terms mean. One of the least understood, but most impor­tant factors to consider when selecting a credit card is the annual

percentage rate (APR). The APR is the rate of interest a

bank charges on your credit card balance. Credit card issuers charge different rates and use various methods of calculating interest. Some methods cost more than others.

The first method, and the best for you, is the acljusted balance method. With this method, the interest charge is based on the amount you owe after subtracting your payment from the previous balance.

The most costly manner of calcu­lating interest is the previous balance method, in which you receive no credit for payments made during the billing period. Instead, you are charged interest on your balance at the end of the previous month.

Another way to calculate interest is the average daily balance method. In this case, the bank adds your balance for each day in the billing period anbd then divides the total by the number of days in the billing period.

Another factor that can affect interest costs is the grace period. Grace period refers to the period starting when an item is posted to

THE CHOICE MAGAZINE your account and ending when the interest is first calculated against it:'· As with interest rates and calcula­tions, the grace period will vary among card issuers.

Some credit card companies will start charging interest as soon as an item is posted to your account. H it gets posted on the first day, you will be charged for a full month of interest before you even get a chance to pay your bill.

Your best choice is a credit card that allows at least a 25-day grace period. Then, you can pay your account in full each month without being charged interest.

At one time, only travel and entertainment cards charged an annual fee. Now, bank credit cards charge from $15 to $50 for the use of their cards. On occasion, you will find a card advertising no annual fee.

However, some issuers promise no annual fee and then charge a transaction fee for each purchase, or bill you for a monthly fee for any month in which you actually use the card. Another gimmick to watch for is the card with no annual fee that converts to an annual-fee card in the second year, without the issuer notifying the card holder in advance.

THE CHOICE MAGA ZINE Senate Battle Still Ahead by Matilda Charles

CATASTROPHIC HEALTH INSURANCE: DOWN BUT NOT OUT? The battle over adequate protection of seniors facing long and costly medical care is not yet over according to sources inside Washington. I'm told that it's not important what finally happens to the Catastrophic Health Insurance program that was repealed by the House of Representatives several weeks ago. Even if the Senate manages to save some parts of it, for all intents and purposes, this prog­ram has been pretty well zapped into the legislative scrap heap.

However, don't be surprised at the emergence of a totally new program some time in mid 1991, and this one will have some pretty powerful supporters from the private sector.

P.S. To the woman who wrote saying she takes issue with my citing other countries for the way they provide medical care for their senior citizens - saying she didn't want to live in a "Commie-type state .. . " I'd like to point out that the countries to which I referred include three with conservative governments: Canada, Great Britain, and West Germany.

THE "EYES" HAVE IT: A new study by the American Optometric Association found that 82 percent of Americans don't know that Medi­care covers many more eye health services of both optometrists and ophthalmologists. For example, under current Medicare law, cov­ered services include the eye health part of your examination when you have a symptom or complaint requiring a visit for the examination and the necessary treatment. Medi­care also covers glasses or contact lenses following cataract surgery.

However, at this time, Medicare does not cover prescription glasses or contact lenses unrelated to catar­act surgery, nor for the part of the eye exam to determine the lens prescription.

For more information, send a self-addressed, stamped business size envelope for a free copy of "YOUR VISION: THE SECOND 50 YEARS" to: Communications Cen­ter, American Optometric Associa­tion, 243 N. Lindbergh Blvd., St. Louis, Mo. 63141.

MEDI-GAP INSURANCE: With

the status of catastrophic health care still unresolved, it's more important than ever to understand what type of insurance you may need beyond Medicare - if, indeed, you do need additional protection. In September I noted that I would appreciate hearing from those who can provide more information on private insurance policies, and I want to thank Robert R. Jones of Robert R. Jones & Associates for taking the time to respond to this bid and for citing an excellent analysis of this subject titled "Beyond Medi­care," "Consumer Reports," issue

1. Sweat equity. Buy an inex­pensive house, then, fix it up yourself to increase the value. 2. Lease-option. Lease­option agreements are flexible.

They can be written to give the buyer more than three years to decide whether to buy the house he is leasing. 3. Equity sharing. Under ttiis setup, sometimes called equity participation, an investing partner provides the down payment in exchange for a share of the profit when the buyer sells the property. Some times the resident and the investor share the monthly morgage payments, and some­times the resident pays "rent" tc the investor, so that the investo pays the morgage and can deduct the interest on his taxes 4. Pre-foreclosure. Getting a house in pre-foreclosure is a good opportunity. since it can often be obtained simply by assuming the owner's delin­quent morgage payments. 5. Seller-financing. Here the seller himself finances the deal, accepting monthly installment payments from the buyer at rates near or above current morgage interest rates. 6. HUD homes. First-time home buyers can take advan­tage of the low prices offered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development on more than 45,000 homes in cities across the country. These HUD homes have been acquired by the department after the owner has defaulted on an FHA mar­gage.

But that is not nearly enough to help the 14,000 terminally ill children in addition to thousands of chronically ill youngsters whose activities are severely limited.

Currently, Esposito says he "works seven days" a week trying to keep up with the volume of child requests and helping out the other chapters. He sees the headquarters role as a coordination office and service bureau for the chapters which will continue to rely mainly on volunteer help.

HOME HINTS

GARAGE OPENER - We put an automatic garage opener on our garage door and I had a really hard time keeping up with the "bopper" to open or close the door. So, I bought some self-gripping tape and glued one piece onto the back of the bopper and another small piece on the carpet hump between the two front seats. After sticking these together, the control stays put.

Now when l need to either open or close the door, I don't have to search for the opener; it's right there! Jamie R., Houston, Texas

MISSING CORK - After a recent dinner party, I was left with a nearly full bottle of wine, but no cork! It had been accidentally thrown away. I couldn't imagine how I was going to save the contents.

Then a friend suggested using a small piece of candle. When I tried to place the candle in the bottle, it was too big. So, I simply used a knife and carefully shaved off some of the wax until the candle fit Into the bottle perfectly. Kathy W., Newtown Square, Pa.

MUFFIN TIP - I ertjoy making muffins, but when I'd pour the batter into the muffin cups, I couldn't get the same amount in each cup. I would end up with different size muffins. .

Since most of the baking I d~ is for bake sales, it is important to me that the muffins all be uniform. Now I use an ice-cream cone scoop and scoop the batter from the bowl and put one even scoop in each cup. The muffins are all the same size and sell much better. Linda P., Louisa, Ky.

STICKY MEA TI.OAF - This is the way that I make meatloaf and it is great because it keeps it from sticking to the bottom of the casser­ole dish.

I place a couple of strips of bacon on the bottom of the dish and then add the meatloaf mixture. It is easy to remove and has a good flavor. Helen C., Moorpark, Calif. ·

Rookie League Kenko Baseball A Safe Approach to Youth Sports

(NU) - All baseball fans are aware of the dangers of the wild pitch. A fast-ball hurling out of con­trol towards a batter's head or chest is a frightening sight for players,

coaches and parents. Rookie League Baseball is a new

organized youth program that uses a pitching machine and a lighter bat. But the biggest change is the substi-

v~u·n be surprised how low our prices are right now.

THE CHOICE MAGAZINE tution of a rubber composition base­ball such as the Kenko baseball with a rubber coating and an air­filled core, which responds very much like a regulation baseball when hit but has a very low impact punch when it strikes a player.

These changes remove the fear of baseball injuries without sacrificing the integrity and traditions of the sport. By minimizing the chances of bone crushing blows, player partici­pation is increased and additional attention can be focused on improvement of basic baseball skills.

Supported by Major League Teams

The Rookie League is currently supported by several major league teams including the Baltimore Orioles, New York Mets, Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers. It has spread rapidly across the United States in recent years, and there are now 94 programs with thousands of youngsters participating.

"We've had great success with this program designed for the 6-to-12-year-old age group, which uses a pitching machine that throws only strikes and a rubberized ball that is safe. It is designed for action, fun and minimum expense. It is also designed to admit all who want to play and serves as a good· bridge between T-ball and the programs that are more formal," says Dr. Bobby Brown, president of the American League according to an article in Oregon youth magazine.

From 1983 to 1988, 10 children ages 5 to 14 died after being struck by a regulation ball in baseball games, according to statistics com­piled in July by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Three other youngsters died after being hit with softballs and another died after being struck with a bat during the 5-year period.

It's unknown how many baseball injuries occur each year, but a definitive CPSC study indicated there were approximately 86,500 hospital emergency room-related injuries to children 5 to 14 years of age in organized baseball and soft­ball in 1983.

By contrast, in all the Rookie League games played during the past four years, not a single player had to leave a game due to an injury from being struck by the ball.
