AMERICANS CONTINUE TO FACE SAVING CHALLENGES, SURVEY FINDS

According to a survey released last month by America Saves and the American Savings Education Council (ASEC), just 35% of Americans feel they are making good or excellent progress in saving money. Nearly two-thirds (63%) say they’re making fair or no progress. However, nearly 7 out of 10 (68%) say they are spending less than they are earning and saving the difference, and 64% report having emergency savings to cover things like unexpected car repairs. More than three-quarters of respondents say they are paying off their consumer debt or living debt-free. Although these numbers are higher than or the same as they were in 2013, they are lower than they were in 2010. Importantly, the percentage of Americans building their net worth through home equity has declined substantially over the past few years, from 68% in 2010 to 54% this year. And those who expect to live mortgage-free in retirement fell from 78% in 2010 to 68% today. “Only about one-third of Americans are living within their means and think they are prepared for the long-term financial future,” said Stephen Brobeck, executive director of the Consumer Federation of America and a founder of America Saves. Sharp differences between income levels Perhaps not surprisingly, those reporting the greatest challenges were in the lowest annual income levels measured. While no stark differences were noted between the $50,000 and $75,000 income level and the $75,000 to $100,000 range, the percentages dropped dramatically in the $25,000 to $50,000 income range. For example, although more than 8 out of 10 people in the higher income brackets said they had a sufficient emergency fund set aside, just 63% of those in the lower income level said they had enough to cover unexpected emergencies. $25,000-$50,000

Spending plans and saving goals may make a difference The survey authors note that one factor that may contribute to the decline is the falling percentage of Americans who say they have savings and spending plans. The percentage who report having a “savings plan with specific goals” fell from 55% in 2010 to 51% in 2014. Those with a spending plan that includes an amount set aside for saving fell from 46% in 2010 to 40% in 2014. “As numerous studies have shown, those with a plan save much more effectively than those without one,” said Dallas Salisbury, chief executive officer of the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) and chairman of ASEC. “Individuals continue to become realistic about the need to save and plan themselves, rather than assume it will be done for them,” he continued. Each year in its annual Retirement Confidence Survey, EBRI finds that individuals who set financial goals tend to be more confident about their financial future than those who do not. About the survey The 7th annual national survey assessing household saving was released as part of America Saves Week, which took place February 24 to March 1, 2014. America Saves Week is an annual event that brings February 24 to March 1, 2014. America Saves Week is an annual event that brings corporate, government, and nonprofit organizations together to promote good savings behavior. America Saves is managed by the Consumer Federation of America, and the American Savings Education Council is managed by EBRI. Sponsored by these organizations, the survey represented the views of 1,108 adult Americans contacted by phone from January 30 to February 2, 2014.

We were just testing you last issue to see if you read the joke. This week we are including the punch line! THE FLORIST A new business was opening and one of the owner’s friends wanted to send him flowers for the occasion. They arrived at the new business site and the owner read the card, “Rest in Peace.” The owner was angry and called the florist to complain. After he had told the florist of the obvious mistake and how angry he was, the florist replied, “Sir, I’m really sorry for the mistake, but rather than getting angry you should imagine this. Somewhere there is a funeral taking place today, and they have flowers with a note saying, ‘Congratulations on your new location!’” NEW MATH? A boy was teaching a girl arithmetic; he said it was his mission. He kissed her once, he kissed her twice, and said, “Now that’s addition.” In silent satisfaction, she sweetly gave the kisses back and said, “Now that’s subtraction.” Then he kissed her, she kissed him, without an explanation. And both together smiled and said, “That’s multiplication.” Then her dad appeared upon the scene and made a quick decision. He kicked that boy three blocks away and said, “That’s long division!” Smith's Repair: Looking for that durable long-lasting balebed, flatbed, bale handler, carry all?

DEAR DAVE, My wife and I are debt-free except for our home. She travels one week per month and charges her expenses to a personal credit card for reimbursement later. I’d rather we open a checking account with debit card privileges just for these expenses. What do you think? ~Dustin Dear Dustin, I’ve got to say I like your idea better. The problem you’re both facing now is this: if her company ever shuts down, there’s a good chance you guys are stuck with credit card debt. Years ago I had a client who was working for a company, and he’d run up travel and business expenses on his American Express card. Like your wife’s situation, his company would then reimburse him for expenses. Then, he made a business trip to Europe, and, while he was there, his company asked him to pick up some computer equipment. The cost of the trip and equipment was about $22,000. When he returned to the office with all the computer stuff in tow, the front door was padlocked. The IRS had shut them down, and they went into bankruptcy. And guess what else? He never got the $22,000 from the company! Credit card companies don’t care about the circumstances. They want their money, period. You guys have done pretty well if you’re debt-free except for your home. But your wife is playing a game called Financial Russian Roulette, and it could backfire on you both at any time. Never take personal responsibility for company expenses. ~Dave DEAR DAVE, I’m considering a career change and becoming a financial advisor. It would mean a 45 percent cut in salary for three to four years, and I’d have to take on debt in order to survive the cut. Is this a smart move? ~Travis Dear Travis, No, it’s not. You didn’t give me a lot of details about what kind of “financial advisor” you’re thinking about becoming, but there are all kinds of people who put themselves in the category of financial advisor. A little voice in my head tells me you’re actually talking about life insurance sales. If that’s the case, then there are some things you need to understand. One, you wouldn’t be a financial advisor; you’d be an insurance salesman. And two, there’s about an 80 percent fallout in that world. Eighty percent of the people who start as insurance salesmen don’t make it in that line of work. Now, you could be making $200,000 right now. And if that were the case, you’d still be making good money while this new career takes root. Still, I’m not going to send you into debt for a career change. There’s got to be a way around that, whether it’s delivering pizzas at night or beginning your career change on a part-time basis before making the jump. Travis, I want you to live your dream. I also have no qualms about you going into the financial world if it’s what you really want to do with your life. But I’m not going to tell you it’s okay to go tens of thousands—maybe even hundreds of thousands—of dollars into debt to make it happen. Going deeply into debt to become a financial advisor sounds pretty oxymoronic to me. Doesn’t it to you? Don’t do something really dumb with money in the name of advising other people on their finances. That just seems wrong. ~Dave
