MONEY TALKS A Few Planning Rules of Thumb

By Eric Jorgensen

1. Is there an average amount most people spend on groceries? How do I know if I’m spending too much?First - I will never tell someone they are spending too much on any-thing, it’s not for me to say. What I will continue to do is help them understand what they have avail-able and work with them to weigh what their priorities are. From there we sort out what to they should be spending.But if you’re just starting out with and would like a good baseline to estimate how much you may be spending on groceries, I recom-mend USDA’s cost of food plan (https://www.cnpp.usda.gov/sites/default/files/CostofFoodJan2018.pdf). It’s a PDF, and breaks it down by family size, ages and a range of plan types (thrifty to liberal).2. We want to have children; how will this affect our plan? USDA has another great tool - the Cost of Raising a Child Calculator (https://www.cnpp.usda.gov/tools/CRC_Calculator/default.aspx). What I really like is the feature asking where you live, because it can help those considering a move understand in real terms what will happen to their cost of living. Downside, it doesn’t consider the

cost of raising a child with a dis-ability.Given the broad range of disabili-ties, from physical to intellectual/developmental, I haven’t found a single rule of thumb to use. This is because calculators like the US-DA’s consider a child’s care until age 18 in most cases, and when you have a child with a disability you could be caring for them for much longer.So, I ask parents to calculate how much they are paying out of pock-et for therapies and other disabil-ity specific costs per month. This gives us an annual expense, which is then multiplied by the number of years they reasonably expect to care for their child - in most cases I encourage them to expect to trans-fer the responsibility around age 70. Not being cruel, but realisti-cally how able do many of us think we will be to perform very physi-cal tasks for our adult children?3. How much should I spend on a house? Lenders will almost always of-fer more to my clients than I am comfortable with them taking on. I encourage families to spend no more than 30% of their gross in-come (so if you make $100k don’t spend more than $30k/year) on housing expenses. Where do I get this number from? From HUD’s website - “Families who pay more than 30 percent of their income for housing are considered cost burdened and may have difficulty affording necessities such as food, clothing, transportation and medi-cal care.” (https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/comm_planning/affordablehousing/).

The Watkins Mill, Kennedy and soon Paint Branch-Springbrook Clus-ter Projects are a collaborative and multi-agency approach to identifying and supporting families in need of various resources through their school communities. Each cluster project works with staff in a set of schools in their respective demographic area and is supported by a multi-agency team from county/state agencies such as Dept. of Recreation, State’s Attorney’s Office, Office of Eligibility and Sup-port Services (TCA, SNAP, etc), Ser-vices to End and Prevent Homeless-ness, etc. Each cluster meets twice a month and invites the identified family to participate in a 40-minute meeting to identify needs and brainstorm and action plan to try and best support the family in meeting those needs with the ultimate goal of family stability.

Continued from page 1load the food. They drove to Watkins Mill High School as the event was in full swing, and organized themselves to distribute two bags of healthy, nutritious food to each family who presented the voucher they’d received at the MCD-HHS table. So after a fun and informa-tive day, “Rock the Block” families left with a wonderful surprise of healthy, nutritious food, and good information on how to improve their family’s stability.

SHARE is proud to partner with The Watkins Mill, Kennedy and soon Paint Branch-Springbrook Cluster Proj-ects on this, and on future events, to strengthen community. Inspire yourself to think of interesting and unusual ways to put SHARE to work in your own community.

Pantry basics for your cabinet:

Onions, garlic, potatoes – kept in a dark place with good air

circulation.

Pasta, rice, oats, beans, lentils, flour baking powder, sugar,

nuts, dried fruit

Pepper, salt, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, vinegar, thyme,

oregano.

STAYING COOL THIS SUMMER

Close curtains when the sun is streaming into your

windows to keep out extra heat. Open them when the

sun has moved on to give you the daylight you should

have in your home, without the extra warmth.

Choose stovetop and microwave cooking at this time of

the year rather than using the oven. If you do need the

oven, group your cooking to take advantage of the start-

up and cool-down time. My grandmother always put her

roast and casseroles in the hot oven when her bread

was finished baking.

Our bodies are 50% water (by weight). Do not ignore the

importance of keeping your body hydrated. Sometimes

when we may think we’re hungry, we’re simply thirsty.

Pure, clean water is what we need, not sugary drinks.

Meal preparation: Make vegetables the center of your

meal. Start planning based on the vegetables you have

that are fresh, then consider what grain you’d like to have,

and only then should you think of your protein.

The “Real” Independence DayAdapted from Constitution Daily

Officially, the Continental Congress declared its freedom from Great Britain on July 2, 1776, when it approved a reso-lution and delegates from New York were given permission to make it a unanimous vote.

John Adams thought July 2 would be marked as a national holiday for genera-tions to come.

“The most memorable Epocha, in the History of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Fes-tival… It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade with shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illumi-nations from one End of this continent to

the other from this Time forward forever more,” Adams said about what he envi-sioned as a July 2 national holiday.

After voting on independence on July 2, the Continental Congress needed to draft a document explaining the move to the public. It had been proposed in draft form by the Committee of Five (John Ad-ams, Roger Sherman, Robert Livingston, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jeffer-son) and it took two days for the Congress to agree on the edits.

Once the Congress approved the ac-tual Declaration on Independence docu-ment on July 4, it ordered that it be sent to a printer named John Dunlap. About 200 copies of the Dunlap Broadside were

printed, with John Hancock’s name print-ed at the bottom. Today, 26 copies remain.

That is why the Declaration has the words, “IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776,” at its top, because that is the day the ap-proved last version was signed in Phila-delphia.

(Most of the members of the Conti-nental Congress signed a version of the Declaration on August 2, 1776 in Phila-delphia. The names of the signers were released publicly in early 1777. So that famous painting showing the signing of the Declaration on July 4, 1776 is a bit of an exaggeration.)

The late historian Pauline Maier said in her 1997 book about the Declaration that no member of Congress recalled in early July 1777 that it was almost a year since they declared their freedom from the British. They finally remembered the event on July 3, 1777, and July 4 became

the day that seemed to make sense for cel-ebrating independence.

Maier also said that the Declaration (and celebrating its signing) was stuck in an early feud between the Federalists (of John Adams) and the Republicans (of Thomas Jefferson). The Declaration and its anniversary day weren’t widely cel-ebrated until the Federalists faded away from the political scene after 1812.

In 1870, Independence Day was made an unpaid holiday for federal em-ployees. In 1941, Congress made it a paid holiday for them.

In the last letter he ever wrote, Thom-as Jefferson spoke in 1826 of the impor-tance of the day. “For ourselves, let the annual return of this day forever refresh our recollections of these rights, and an undiminished devotion to them,” he said. Two days later, Jefferson and Adams both passed away on the Fourth of July.
