The Weekend Edition•July 31, 2020•Page 2 3 Ways To Prevent The PandemicFrom Spoiling Your Retirement – Whenever It Is!By Albert LalondeThe pandemic has brought

the possibility that some olderworkers will have to retiresooner than they planned.One factor is that people 65

and above are considered tobe among the highest-riskgroups for severe illness fromCOVID-19. Thus, as the econ-omy opens back up, babyboomers in particular arethinking twice about returningto office environments thatcould expose them to an in-creased risk of contracting thedisease. And while in some cases re-

tirement decisions will be vol-untary, retirement may beessentially decided for someolder workers due to jobsbeing eliminated as strugglingcompanies restructure. One report showed retire-

ments of people from 50 to 65and over have surged be-cause of the pandemic.Medicare eligibility starting atage 65 and full Social Securitybenefits soon thereafter be-come economic incentives.But as we know, it takes a lotmore than government aid toget us through the retirementyears. And for older workers who

planned to work long enoughto collect full Social Securitybenefits but instead retire ear-lier, that could have perma-nent financial consequences. Filing at the earliest age of

62 will get the retiree only75% of their annual full bene-fit. Whereas every year youdelay filing for Social Securitypast full retirement age bringsan additional 8% until you turn

70.People often keep working

as long as they can so theycan continue to add to theirretirement savings while alsobenefiting from employer-sub-sidized health insurance. Many older workers from the

40s on up think they will needto work longer because of thecurrent economic crisis. Butdue to the pandemic, weseem to have less controlover length-of-career consid-erations than ever before. Andbecause of that, it ups theante on taking care of your re-tirement funds in advance ofretirement, and knowing waysto grow them and balance therisk to them.When trying to figure out

how to protect your retirementportfolio in the uncertainmonths ahead, remember thatsometimes, trying to saveyourself from future marketvolatility can result in major in-vesting mistakes. Here aresome examples to avoid dur-ing this recession:• Being too conservative.

Finding a foothold for financialstability is on many people’sminds given these nervoustimes, but stability can betaken a bit too far. For exam-ple, focusing almost exclu-sively on fixed-incomeinvestments limits your growthpotential. They won’t match the

growth of equities when theeconomy rebounds. One ruleof thumb: the majority of thosenot yet retired should put at

least half of their portfolios inequities, and the younger oneis, the higher the percentageof equities. You can reduce risk and

achieve stability by improvingthe quality of your equities,such as those with well-re-garded management and con-sistent customers, and thosethat have paid dividends overa long period.• Ceasing to invest.While

some companies havepaused matching employee401(k) programs due to thepandemic, it’s not out of the

question that they’ll one dayresume when a recovery en-sues. But no saving plus noinvesting equals putting your-self much further behind forretirement. If you can afford to con-

tribute to an IRA or 401(k) dur-ing the recession, do it.Suspending your investing be-cause of concerns that yourpositions will lose value is aback-sliding strategy that canbite you. As the economy climbs

back, share prices increase,but if you sat on cash whilewaiting for a recovery, youwon’t benefit from the up-swing. And later on you’ll payhigher prices for those shares,when you could have gottenthem for less.• Trying to time the mar-

ket. Basing investment deci-sions on current marketconditions is tricky. Some peo-ple are making those kinds ofdecisions, such as selling offor pausing contributions, toprotect themselves from futuremarket declines. But for example, when de-

ciding to liquidate, you later

may have to decide when toreinvest. Will that timing al-ways be good? No. Even pro-fessional fund managers havedifficulty timing the market. Soit’s better to remember thatyou got into the stock marketin the first place because,over long periods, historyshows it often trends up. Don’treact to what’s happeningtoday. Stick to a consistentschedule of investing. And re-member: long-term growthhelps fund your retirement.About Albert LalondeAlbert Lalonde, a financial

The Board of Supervisors recently endorsedfederal legislation that would begin to repair theharmful, ineffective, and wasteful aspects of massincarceration - linked to the passage of the 1994federal crime bill - by transforming the nation'scriminal justice system to promote shared power,freedom, equality, safety, and human dignity.Chairwoman Marcelia Nicholson proposed the county reso-

lution in support of a federal bill from Massachusetts Repre-sentative Ayanna Pressley, known as the People's JusticeGuarantee (H. Res 702, 116th Congress, 1st Session).Pressley's bill calls for wholesale reform of the criminal legalsystem, including mass de-carceration at the local,state, and federal levels, andfor repealing the failed poli-cies of the so-called war ondrugs and 1994 crime bill."The effects of failed poli-

cies like the 1994 crime billare plain to see: billions ofdollars wasted on buildingprisons, millions of lives ru-ined by unjust prison sen-tences, and countlessfamilies torn apart by massincarceration. It's long past time to shift

our public dollars away frombuilding prisons and lockingpeople up, and towards edu-cation, school counseling,after-school programs, andrestorative justice," saidNicholson.Nicholson's resolution high-

lights the fact that the 1994crime bill led to billions ofdollars in spending on prisonconstruction, "putting tremen-dous pressure on State andlocal municipalities by addingadditional budgetary con-straints," and much less spent on preventing violent crimesagainst women or funding drug courts, mental health clinics,youth programs, supportive housing, or promoting employ-ment and entrepreneurship.The adopted resolution calls upon the US Congress to

pass, and the President to sign, the People's Justice Guaran-tee, "legislation that would acknowledge the harms and inef-fectiveness of mass criminalization and mass incarceration,and begin to repair the damage wrought by the 1994 CrimeBill, and the punitive, expensive, violent, and racist systemsof criminalization, by investing in the health and well-being ofcommunities and our nation."

5 Financial PressurePoints To EvaluateDuring COVID TimesFinancial pressure is a part of life for most people,and now the COVID-19 pandemic has brought newfinancial pressure points or exacerbated existingones for many individuals and families. But to navigate those pressures and build a successful financial strategy, you

must first identify where the pressures are coming from, says John Smallwood(www.johnlsmallwood.com), president of Smallwood Wealth Management and au-thor of It’s Your Wealth – Keep It: The Definitive Guide to Growing, Protecting,Enjoying, and Passing On Your Wealth.“Once you’ve identified financial pressures,” Smallwood says, “you can decide

what steps you will take to mitigate or reduce that pressure now and in the fu-ture. But if you don’t take any steps, you may end up repeating the mistakes ofthe past and never reach your financial goals.“Major lifetime events such as the pandemic and the financial crisis of 2007-

2008 can result in big financial setbacks for people and their portfolios for yearsthereafter. But identifying financial pressure points allows you to capture uniquedynamics and elements of your financial life and form the building blocks of awealth plan.”Smallwood says to identify specific financial pressures, focus on the following

areas:• Family. “The key to a successful wealth plan is not just the numbers,” Small-

wood says. “What matters is the family dynamics – spouse, ex-spouses, chil-

dren, parents, siblings, and in-laws. And right now, changes within a home canbe tremendous because of the virus.” There are business struggles and cash-flow issues. Meanwhile, children are at home more because schools are uncer-tain of when they will be in session. Smallwood says the ages, health, andfinancial situations of all the individual members of the family can have an im-pact on the overall finances.• Income. “The majority of people have less than $50,000 in the bank,” Small-

wood says, “and they have more in qualified and nonqualified assets. Wheremost balance sheets fall down is by looking only at income. You also want to lookat all of the liabilities and future liabilities, and how assets and interests will de-termine income and cover your obligations in the future.”• Taxes. Knowing the details of your taxes can lead to better planning around

them and lessen that pressure point. “Most people do not know what they reallypay in federal or state taxes,” Smallwood says. “If you look at the income and un-derstand where the taxes are, you can begin to find strategies for reducing theamount of income that shows up on a tax return, but still get money back andgrow the wealth.”• Savings. What percentage of income are you actually saving, and where is

going? “If it’s going to a retirement plan, we want to know whether any availableemployer match is being maximized,” Smallwood says. “Is the savings being builtup in life insurance cash values or annuities? But when it comes to saving, it’s allabout the habit itself.”• Debt structure. Debt can include everything from credit cards to car loans,

mortgages to student loans. “The key with debt is to look at how it is structured,”Smallwood says. “Is the cash flow optimal? Paying off debt is a form of savings,but if it’s done the wrong way, you won’t have enough liquidity.”“It’s critical to view the whole financial picture and see where you are spending

and saving money currently,” Smallwood says. “If you don’t know, you’re notgoing to get to where you want to go.” About John L. Smallwood, CFP® John L. Smallwood is a senior wealth advisor (www.johnlsmallwood.com) and

Leading A SmallBusiness ThroughCOVID And OtherTroubling TimesWith the coronavirus shaking up the economy and upending

the day-to-day operations of businesses, it’s perhaps more criti-cal than ever that corporate CEOs and small business ownerssummon up all their leadership skills.Employees who usually are just down the hall are now work-

ing remotely from home. The supply chain is disrupted. Andcustomers and clients may be changing their spending habits. But, as important as business savvy and financial expertise

can be in riding out all the economic effects of the pandemic,other traits also come into play and may be just as essential,says Marsha Friedman, a successful entrepreneur who stillleads a business she launched three decades ago.“One of those essential traits is courage,” says Friedman,

founder and president of News & Experts (www.newsandex-perts.com), a national PR firm. “Thirty years ago when I startedmy company, I probably would never have said it takes courageto lead a small business, but without it, I assure you, you’ll fail.”Friedman, who is also the ForbesBooks author of Gaining the

Publicity Edge: An Entrepreneur’s Guide to Growing YourBrand Through National Media Coverage, understands thisfirst-hand. Her firm, like many businesses, endured tough eco-nomic times after the 9/11 attacks. Revenue dropped and bank-ruptcy loomed as a real possibility.“I had to figure out how to turn my company around,” she

says. “It took courage, endurance, and perseverance, but Iknew I could not go back, so I had no choice but to go forward.” Courage is just one of what Friedman calls the 5 C’s for build-

ing and maintaining a successful business through the goodtimes and bad. “They’re the guiding principles I’ve learned

through the ups and downs and all the mistakes,” she says.“They can work during the difficulties we now face as well.”In addition to courage, Friedman’s other C’s are:• Caring . First, care enough about yourself and your dreams

to believe you can achieve success even in these dauntingtimes, Friedman says. “Just as important is caring about yourstaff and creating a positive work environment for them despitethe troubles we face,” she says. “Be supportive of themthroughout this situation that is bringing additional stress toeveryone’s lives.” Finally, a good business leader cares aboutcustomers, Friedman says. Be willing to listen to their con-cerns, take responsibility for mistakes, and correct them.• Confidence. Most people have faced and overcome chal-

lenges in life. The confidence that allowed them to prevail overthose challenges needs to be brought into play in businessmore than ever right now, Friedman says. “Believing you canreach for and achieve your short-term and long-term goals isessential to getting you there,” she says. “Maintaining your con-fidence is important to get through these unsettling times.”• Competence. It’s critical to stay up on the disruptions in your

industry that the coronavirus is causing. “If you’re forced todownsize, this may be the time to reorganize and tap into theskills and abilities of your remaining team that are different fromthe roles you hired them for,” Friedman says. “That’s why it’s al-ways important to have hired competent people who you canrely on no matter what the situation.”• Commitment . Stay dedicated to your goals no matter how

difficult that becomes during these challenging conditions.Friedman says there may be times when this will be not onlydifficult, but downright painful. That was the case for her duringthose tough times after the 9/11 attacks. “I had to make drasticcuts, including letting go beloved employees.” she says. “But Inever wanted to suffer a failure, and so I stayed committed tothe goal and succeeded in pulling the business through thoserough times.” “As we face the current challenges, you have to stay the

course, remain positive and show caring for everyone related toyour business,” Friedman says. “Most of all, no matter how dis-mal it seems right now, you need to have confidence that youare going to get through it.”About Marsha FriedmanMarsha Friedman, ForbesBooks author of Gaining the Public-

ity Edge: An Entrepreneur’s Guide to Growing Your BrandThrough National Media Coverage, is a successful entrepre-neur and public relations expert with nearly 30 years’ experi-ence developing publicity strategies for celebrities, corporationsand professionals in the field of business, health and finance.Using the proprietary system she created as founder and Presi-dent of News & Experts (www.newsandexperts.com), anaward-winning national public relations agency, her firm se-cures thousands of top-tier media placements annually for itsclients.

Recent study outlines grim reality for AfricanAmericans in Milwaukee

In a recent study - TheState of Black Milwaukee inNational Perspective: RacialInequality in the Nation’s 50Largest Metropolitan Areasin 65 Charts and Tables -published by the Center forEconomic Development atthe University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, professor MarcLevine outlines a reality thatmany Milwaukee residentsknow all too well.The study states, “On virtu-

ally all key measures ofBlack community well-being,Milwaukee ranks at or nearthe bottom when rankedagainst other large metropol-itan areas. Moreover, when we exam-

ine historical trends in somekey areas, the results areequally grim: Black Milwau-kee is generally worse offtoday than it was 40 or 50years ago.”7th District Alderman Khalif

J. Rainey believes the studyhits home for many Milwau-keeans. “The findings of this study

are devastating as it relatesto Milwaukee’s Black com-munity, and both the city andstate need to continue priori-tizing support for Black com-munities so we can work toeliminate disparities,” said Al-

derman Rainey. “I plan to in-troduce a communication fileregarding this study and willextend an invite to Dr. Levinewith the hopes he will dis-cuss this report in greaterdetail with the CommonCouncil.”Some of the study’s key

findings include: Milwaukeehas the second-lowest Blackhomeownership rate amongthe nation’s largest metropol-itan areas at 27.2%; In Mil-waukee, Black infantmortality rates, teen preg-nancy rates, and low birth-weight babies rates rank

among the worst for Blackcommunities in the nation’s50 largest metropolitanareas; and Milwaukee regis-ters the third-highest rate ofBlack incarceration in stateprisons among the 50 largestmetro areas in the US (mea-sured by Black incarcerationrates in the central county ofthe metro area).The full study can be ac-
