Work with a non-profit housing counselor who is familiar with loan modifications

Advice for Homeowners:Tip#3: Stick With It

Spend Less Than You Earn
Every month we get richer or poorer. If we take in more money than we spend, we
get richer. If we take in less than we get poorer. We can build a surplus at any salary.

Expensive Ways to Spend Money
More than 20% of Americans use Payday Lenders, Pawnshops, etc.
Over half of households carry a credit card balance from month-to-month.
These are ways that we end up spending much more than the price of items we buy.
If we pay only the minimum on our credit cards we end up paying as much as 5 times our original bill.

make profits? What sort of customers do they
love? Why?

One-Legged Retirement Approach
No Pension No Social Security Just Savings/Investment Wobbly! Unstable! Avoid!
34
![Page 35: Zach Teutsch, Director Investor Education Project National Labor College](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032806/56813451550346895d9b37ab/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The 2-Legged Retirement Approach Most Americans have only
two legs to their retirement. Social Security Personal Savings
Stable as long as it leans on something: Generous employer
contributions Strong stock market
performance Be Careful!
35
![Page 36: Zach Teutsch, Director Investor Education Project National Labor College](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032806/56813451550346895d9b37ab/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Defined Benefit Pensions Are Important!
Defined Benefit = payments are guaranteed. Pension benefit is based on salary and years
served. The stock market doesn’t impact your ability
to retire. Employer takes on risk, not employee. Money managed by investment professionals.
36

Financial Security: Investing

Time To Invest
Once we have gotten rid of our debt and setup our emergency fund, we can set aside money every month for investment.
Automate so we don’t have to remember every month. Auto-pay ourselves first!
38
![Page 39: Zach Teutsch, Director Investor Education Project National Labor College](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032806/56813451550346895d9b37ab/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Money Grows
“The most powerful force in the universe is compounding interest.”
The sooner you start saving and investing, the sooner you will have the resources you need.

Asset Allocation
Asset classes are different types of investments
- stocks, bonds, real estate, etc
Allocation means the percent of total money available that you invest in each class.
The investment mix should give you the highest return for the lowest level of risk for your particular circumstance.

“Do not put all your eggs in one basket”
![Page 45: Zach Teutsch, Director Investor Education Project National Labor College](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032806/56813451550346895d9b37ab/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Age and Asset Allocation
The younger you are the more risk should be in your portfolio (including Deferred Comp) to increase it’s likely return.
The older you are the more conservative you should be so you can minimize risk.

Smart Choices in Difficult Times Try hard to conserve funds
meant for retirement. Understand the tax bite
Withdrawals before 59½ can carry a 20-30% tax that can be avoided but by waiting until 59½.
20% will be held by plan manager to insure tax payment.
If you rollover, do it directly to avoid taxes.
