Inflation and Your Retirement Income Strategy You might not think much about infl ation. After all, it’s been quite low for the past several years. Still, you may want to take it into account when you’re planning your retirement income strategy. Of course, no one can really predict the fu-ture course of infl ation. But it’s a pretty safe bet it won’t disappear altogether — and even a mild infl ation rate, over time, can strongly erode your purchasing power. Consider this: If you were to purchase an item today for $100, that same item, in 25 years, would cost you $209, assuming an annual infl ation rate of 3%. That’s a pretty big difference. During your working years, you can hope that your income will at least rise enough to match infl ation. But what about when you re-tire? How can you minimize the impact of infl a-tion on your retirement income? One thing you can certainly do is include an infl ation assumption in your calculations of how much annual income you’ll need. The number you choose as an infl ation factor could possi-bly be based on recent infl ation levels, but you might want to err on the conservative side and use a slightly higher fi gure. Since you may be retired for two or three decades, you might have to periodically adjust the infl ation factor to cor-respond to the actual infl ation rate. Another important step is maintaining an investment portfolio that can potentially pro-vide returns well above the infl ation rate. His-torically, stocks have been the only investment category — as opposed to investments such as Treasury bills and long-term government bonds — whose returns have signifi cantly outpaced infl ation. So you may want to consider owning

an appropriate percentage of stocks and stock-based investments in your portfolio, even dur-ing your retirement years. Now, you might be concerned at the mention of the words “stocks” and “retirement years” in the same sentence. After all, stocks will fl uctu-ate in value, sometimes dramatically, and even though you may be retired for a long time, you won’t want to wait for years to “bounce back” from a bad year in the market. But not all invest-ments move in the same direction at the same time; spreading your dollars among a range of asset classes — large stocks, small and mid-cap stocks, bonds, , certifi cates of deposit (CDs), foreign investments and so on — may help you reduce the impact of volatility on your portfolio. And you don’t even have to rely solely on stocks to help combat infl ation. You could also consider Treasury Infl ation-Protected Securi-ties, or TIPS. When you pur-chase a TIPS, your principal increases with infl ation and de-creases with defl ation, as mea-sured by the Consumer Price Index. Your TIPS pay interest twice a year, at a fi xed rate; this rate is applied to the adjusted principal, so your interest pay-ments will rise with infl ation and fall with defl ation. When your TIPS matures, you will receive adjusted principal or original principal, whichever is greater. As is the case with other bonds, though, you could choose to sell your TIPS before it matures.*

Work with your fi nancial advisor to help de-cide what moves are right for you to help pro-tect your retirement income from infl ation. It may be a “hidden” threat, but you don’t want to ignore it. Yield to maturity cannot be predetermined, due to uncertain future infl ation adjustments. If TIPS are sold prior to maturity, you may re-ceive less than your initial investment amount. If bonds are not held in a tax-advantaged ac-count, investors will be required to pay federal taxes on the accredited value annually, although they will not receive any principal payment un-til maturity. When the infl ation rate is high and the principal value is rising signifi cantly, the taxes paid on TIPS may exceed interest income received. Therefore, TIPS may not be suitable for investors who depend on their investments for living expenses.

Are your investments readyto fight inflation?

Edwin F. WaszakEdwin F. Waszak, 83, of Dougherty, died peacefully surrounded

by his loving family on Saturday, Aug. 8, 2015 at the Mercy Medical Center North Iowa, Mason City.

Celebration of Edwin’s life started with a visitation from 4-6 p.m., Tuesday, Aug. 11, with a 4th Degree Knights of Columbus Rosary at 6 p.m. followed by memorial ser-vice and then military honors provided by American Legion Post #354, at the S.T.P.A.T.S. Buri-al will be held in Mary, Queen of Heaven Cemetery, Hillside, Illinois at a later date. Family suggests memorials to Edwin F. Waszak memorial fund. Hogan-Bremer-Moore Colonial Chapel, Mason City is helping the family with the arrangements.

Edwin was born Sept. 27, 1931 in Cicero, Illinois the son of John and Irene (Maziarka) Waszak. He attended Our Lady of Charity Catholic School, Cicero, Illinois.

Edwin enlisted in the Unit-ed States Army and served as a squadron leader during the Kore-an War and was involved in the Battle of Bloody Ridge where he received a purple heart.

Edwin married Joanne Brej-cha Oct. 9, 1954 in Cicero, Illinois. They lived in Cicero, Illinois then Berwyn, Illinois, where he was a meat cutter. After he retired they moved to Las Vegas, Nevada. In 2009 he moved to Dougherty, to be closer to his family.

He enjoyed reading, fishing, golfing, bird watching, wildlife and tinkering in his shop. He was an avid sports fan especially watching boxing and participating in martial arts where he received two black belts. He also participated in Harness Horse Races as a driver and trainer. But his greatest joy in life was his family. He always put them first.

He was a former member of St. Patrick Catholic Church until it closed and was most recently a member of St. Mary Catholic Church, Greene, and a member of American Legion Post #354 Dougherty.

Edwin is survived by his two children, Laura (Dennis) Campbell, Dougherty, and Edwin A.
