Work toward your own financial independence day
SUBMITTED BY PATRICK ZAMKIN
We’re getting close to the Fourth of July, our national Independence Day. This celebration may get you thinking of the many freedoms you enjoy. But have you thought of what you might need to do to attain financial freedom?
Your first step is to define what financial independence signifies to you. For many people, it means being able to retire when they want to, and to enjoy a comfortable retirement lifestyle. So, if this is your vision as well, consider taking these steps:
• Pay yourself first. If you wait until you have some extra money “lying around” before you invest for retirement, you may never get around to doing it. Instead, pay yourself first. This actually is not that hard to do, especially if you have a 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan, because your contributions are taken directly from your paycheck, before you even have the chance to spend the money. You can set up a similar arrangement with an IRA by having automatic contributions taken directly from your checking or savings account.
• Invest appropriately. Your investment decisions should be guided by your retirement goals, along with how long you have before you need the money and how comfortable you are with different levels of investment risk. If you deviate from these guideposts — for instance, by taking on either too much or too little risk — you may end up making decisions that aren’t right for you and that may set you back as you pursue your financial independence.
• Avoid financial “potholes.” The road to financial liberty will always be marked with potholes you should avoid. One such pothole is debt —
Real Estate Questions & Answers
Question: I knew I would have to go through the buyer’s inspection when I accepted this contract, but now I am told that FHA has to inspect my Home and that the repairs they require must be completed in order for the buyer to get their loan. I am not happy about this. Is this correct?
Answer: First of all, congratulations on getting an accepted offer on your home. In many markets, that is not easy to do. But that does not mean that the deal will close. Contracts have contingencies that must be satisfied in order for a closing to take place. Example: Contingent on your buyer getting a loan, Contingent on a satisfactory home inspection, Contingent on your home appraising to at least the purchase price, etc.
If you have a buyer who is obtaining FHA financing, your deal is also contingent on you completing the repairs required by the FHA inspector/appraiser. The FHA inspector is an appraiser sent to determine the value of the home and look for significant deficiencies according
to FHA criteria such as obvious mold growth, chipped paint on windows older than 1978, broken glass, lack of GFCI’s by sinks, etc. If they find defects then they will require repairs which they will reinspect, to ensure the repairs were made correctly. These required repairs are usually minor if the homeowner has kept their home in good shape.
You are not required to do these repairs. You may say no and look for another buyer that is obtaining conventional financing or paying cash. The problem is that in many markets, the vast majority of all qualified buyers are using FHA financing.
The smart move would be for you to do the repairs and enjoy your check at closing.

the higher your debt burden, the less you can invest for your retirement. It’s not always easy to lower your debt load, but do the best you can to live within your means. A second pothole comes in the form of large, unexpected short-term costs, such as a major home or auto repair or a medical bill not fully covered by insurance. To avoid dipping into your long-term investments to pay for these short-term costs, try to build an emergency fund containing three to six months’ worth of living expenses, with the money kept in a liquid, lowrisk account.
• Give yourself some wiggle room. If you decide that to achieve financial independence, you must retire at 62 or you must buy a vacation home by the beach, you may feel disappointed if you fall short of these goals. But if you’re prepared to accept some flexibility in your plans — perhaps you can work until 65 or just rent a vacation home for the summer — you may be able to earn a different, but still acceptable, financial freedom. And by working a couple of extra years or paying less for your vacation home expenses, you may also improve your overall financial picture. Putting these and other moves to work can help you keep moving toward your important goals. When you eventually reach your own “Financial Independence Day,” it may not warrant a fireworks display — but it should certainly add some sparkle to your life.

Neutrality is a myth! At least, when it comes to spiritual formation it is.
When Christians talk about being formed more into the likeness of Jesus, maybe you’ve politely discarded that idea. “I don’t need to be formed to be like anyone. I’m content to just be me.”
That sentiment may be genuine, but the conclusion is false.
When your grandmother told you, “We don’t talk about people that way,” you were being formed. When you watched the news last night, you were being formed. When you choose every morning to make a pot of coffee, and every evening to scroll on your phone before bed, those choices form you! As much as we like to think we can decide independently exactly who we are and what we believe, we can’t. We’re lumps of spiritual clay, and we’re more pliable than we’d like to believe.

WORD: Take Responsibility for Your Actions
by Janice R Newman
We often find ourselves at the crossroads where our decisions lead to consequences, both positive and negative. Reflecting on my childhood, I recall the frequent discussions from my parents saying that I needed to “own up and take responsibility for my actions.” As a young child, all I remember was thinking why on earth would I admit to what they were accusing me of? I would surely get in trouble and subsequently face punishment. However, as I matured, I came to understand the profound importance of taking responsibility for one’s actions. It wasn’t just about-facing consequences but also the thought that if I didn’t, an innocent person would bear the blame and would endure my punishment instead. No matter what the action was I was responsible and accountable for the outcome and results good or bad.
By deciding to take responsibility for your actions, it shapes your character and how the world views you. Accepting responsibility empowers you to take control of your situation and your future. You become more proactive in making informed decisions and choices because you are accountable for the outcomes. This will lead to better decision-making and a greater likelihood of achieving your goals and aspirations. Being responsible decreases rash quick reactions and behaviors while increasing patience and logical thinking in making rational sound choices. This can lead to more positive outcomes.
You gain personal growth and development of your character when taking responsibility for your actions. It’s necessary to take responsibility for all our actions or inactions such as our choices on what to do with our money, what we eat, taking care of our health, who are our friends, or our actions at work. When you own up to your mistakes, you learn from them and are less likely to repeat those same errors. This contributes to self-awareness and self-improvement when you confront your flaws and work on their improvements. You build character by not running away from your mistakes and facing fear head-on. Our character demonstrates a level
of integrity, honesty, and accountability. It also brings trust and respect to our relationships. Those qualities contribute to the best versions of ourselves.
Taking responsibility for one’s actions prevents the unintentional consequences of an innocent person being blamed or harmed for your actions. We often shift blame to someone else to reduce consequences for us. Pointing the finger at a sibling or a friend to take the blame to remove accountability is not uncommon. In Genesis 3:12, Adam blames God for giving him Eve, who talked him into eating the apple from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (ESV). Also, in John 5:7, the man with the infirmity for 38 years by the Pool of Bethesda, blamed others for his reason that he had not entered the water to be healed when Jesus asked him (ESV). Neither man was willing to take responsibility for their actions. Avoiding responsibility and shifting blame onto others or external circumstances can have a detrimental effect on your character, how people view you, and future outcomes. Our character is influenced by our actions on taking responsibility. We learn from our mistakes and attempt to rectify them can improve our personal growth, ethical character development, and achieve positive outcomes in life. Our actions influence others to do the same as setting an example for others by demonstrating our honesty, reliability, and integrity on justice and fairness. You cultivate resilience in learning from your actions which can foster becoming better equipped to face life’s trials with grace and determination. We learn from our setbacks and adversity to improve our overall influence and impact.
Facing responsibility is not a burden, but a need to foster independence, growth, character development, and prevention of unintentional consequences of others taking the blame.
We should foster accountability and integrity to embrace responsibility, which is a powerful tool to shape a better you, those around you, and a more fulfilling future. Y? Why Not!

conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.” The Apostle Paul is urging us to take our easily-formed selves and submit to Jesus’ way for our lives.
Are you content to sit back and let the cultural values of the world form you? Or are you ready to share the reins of your own formation with the Holy Spirit of the Almighty God?

Jackie Younker was a selfless and generous woman to know and love. She modeled a life rich with hard work, putting others first, and being an exceptionally loving wife, mother, and grandmother. Her warm personality, cheerful demeanor, and infectious smile will forever be remembered by her many special friends and loved ones. Mary Jacqueline was welcomed to the world on December 18, 1936, in South Haven, Michigan, by her mother, Mabel Lucile Roper and her father Harry Rimbach Roper. She was the third of four children: Harry, George, Jackie, David. Her birth brought much happiness to the family home.
Jackie lived a typical childhood of the times. She and her family moved to Hammond, Indiana, in 1940 and into her childhood home at 840 Carroll Street. She attended the local schools and completed her studies at Hammond Technical High School with a focus on secretarial/office worker studies. She enjoyed her high school years cheering for the Tech Tigers and being with her friends. Jackie graduated in February 1955. She and her brothers and mom and dad took several camping trips to Pullman, Michigan, tenting on Springbrook Lake. During those trips many other relatives would visit to spend time with them. Jackie would row the boat while her brothers spent the day fishing. Eventually they got a motor to power the boat, and her rowing days were done. The boys may have been tired of telling her how and where to row. In the fall of 1953, while still in high school, she met the love of her life, Glen. During
their courtship their romance blossomed, and marriage was inevitable! However, there were some stipulations before they were to get married. First, Glen told Jackie she needed to graduate from high school and second, he would build a house for her. The stipulations were met and the happy couple joined in marriage on April 2, 1955, at First Christian Church. They had their romantic honeymoon in Williamsburg, Virginia. Together, they raised seven wonderful children: Tonnie, Keith, Cindy, Kevin, Kenny, Kerry, and Kelly at the house they built in Dyer, Indiana at 515 214th Street. She and Glen modeled a fun-loving relationship for their family. She was known to play tricks on Glen, like spraying him with the hose from the sink or chasing him around the house with a bucket of water! There were many fun times when they were together. Over the years, they enjoyed square dancing and bowling together as well as taking road trips with family and friends. The family enjoyed long road trips to multiple state parks, including Turkey Run, McCormick Creek, and Clifty State Park. The family played numerous card games together of Cribbage, International Rummy, Tripoley and many others. They also played countless board games of Sorry, Monopoly, Scrabble and many others. There was always some kind of game or activity going on with the Younker Family. Another family tradition was spending time at the family cottage in Decatur, MI. As a family, they spent numerous days over the summer months at the cottage. Jackie’s favorite time was hosting all the grandkids over the Fourth of July at the cottage. It was her special time with all the grandkids as they grew up. She loved to just break into a song whenever she felt like it and shared her love of music with her grandchildren whether they wanted to hear it or not. Sometimes they would join in. Her family will always cherish her spirit of having fun and enjoying what life has to offer in the moment.
In Jackie and Glen’s retirement years they liked to travel. They enjoyed trips to Las Vegas for the slot machines, spending the cold winter months in Florida, and traveling to visit family and friends all over the country. Even when they traveled, they managed to make family their priority and made time to visit their children and their grandkids and other relatives that were along their travel path. Family life with aunts, uncles, siblings, cousins, nieces and nephews
was very important to Jackie. So much so that she organized a couple of very large family reunions in 2000 and 2010. She and her children worked together to assemble the Roper/ Levine family reunions that gathered over 200 people! Jackie always loved spending time with her extended family and looked forward to making memories together.
When it came to her later years, Jackie remained active. She enjoyed gardening and tending to her flower beds. She also loved jigsaw puzzles, crosswords, cryptograms, and was a voracious reader. Social and outgoing, Jackie met regularly for lunch with her lifelong friends. Some of them she had known since kindergarten, and others from her high school days! One of her favorite things to do was to work on her family genealogy. She would spend hours and hours canvassing census records, Ancestory.com, old family photos, old family notes all in the effort of putting the puzzle together of her family tree. Using her creative writing skills and storytelling she made a 150-page booklet of her family history which took you back in time. She was very proud of it and shared copies at the 2010 reunion.
Mary Jacqueline (Jackie) Younker went to be with our Lord and Savior Saturday, June 21, 2025. Jackie was preceded in death by her parents Harry Rimbach Roper and Mabel Lucille Roper. Her husband of 68 years, Glen Edward Younker. Brothers, Harry (Lucille) Roper, George Roper, and David Roper. She is survived by her sistersin-law, Karen Roper and Wanda Roper.
She is also survived by her children Tonnie Pahl, Keith (Donna) Younker, Cindy Bielak, Kevin (KarRon) Younker, Kenneth (Lori) Younker, Kerry (Patty) Younker, Kelly (Terry) Younker; 14 grandchildren; 15 great-grandchildren; and 9 great-greatgrandchildren.
Join the family in celebrating Jackie at a visitation and sharing of life stories on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, from 5-8 PM at Smits Funeral Home, 2121 Pleasant Springs Lane, Dyer, IN 46311. Family and friends are also invited to an additional visitation on Wednesday July 2, 2025, from 10-11 am. Funeral service will begin at 11 AM on Wednesday, July 2, 2025, at Smits Funeral Home. The interment will be at Skyline Memorial Park, Monee, IL.
A Valuable Lesson: Influence of Cartoons on Kids
by Reshaun Dominic Sims-Grant
Reshaun is a student at Unity Christian Academy, he is very good at writing and loves his little brother a lot. He really likes cartoons and was very passionate about writing about their positive effects on kids..
Some people think cartoons like The Amazing World of Gumball, Spongebob Squarepants, or Fairly Odd Parents are a bad influence for the younger generation. People will say they have a brain numbing effect on kids or they teach no life lessons. Now I know screens are very prevalent today and people, especially kids, are easily influenced by what they see online as it could be very harmful to their sense of morality or their very being. In reality, despite their bad reputation, these shows teach very valuable lessons if you take the time to watch them. Cartoons show kids how to express themselves or they fuel their imagination more and help them creatively.
First, cartoons help kids express themselves. Certain cartoons that may seem wacky or nonsensical can actually fuel a child’s sense of being. A cartoon like Ben 10 for example was a major inspiration for the type of person I am today. While I did fantasize about having a watch that could turn me into aliens, I also wanted to be the type of person that people could rely on without looking for anything in return. Ben 10 taught me that no matter how you may think you aren’t up for the job, you can be a hero, too. Also,
according to the International Journal of Science, Engineering, and Technology, cartoons help young people develop their vocabulary and help them discover the world by teaching them social norms including respect for authority figures, teamwork, and others. This article shows that kids can learn how to be respectful to the older generation while still being true to themselves through cartoons.
Second, cartoons can be a source of fuel for a child’s imagination. A cartoon like The Regular Show has a lot of imaginative things that children can think of easily. They thought of a piano keyboard that could do anything if you made a song about it, a sandwich with every meat on it, or a video game character that could come out of the tv. There are many more examples I could use, every episode is something new and different from the last one. This shows kids that your imagination is endless and a really good source of personal entertainment. And, according to the National Library of Medicine, cartoon characters serve as a rich source of inspiration for children, stimulating their creativity. This shows that cartoons can be inspiration for a big imagination for kids.
Finally, I am a firm believer that watching cartoons is almost a necessity for children in today’s age. They deliver deep lessons in a fun and enjoyable way. While there may be some shows that have no valuable lessons for kids, that doesn’t mean that they all shouldn’t be watched. Parents should still watch out for what their children are watching because it’s not all good. Cartoon shows are great at giving lessons and fueling children’s imaginations. They shouldn’t be disregarded based on what the media says about them or what some shows may portray in a single clip. Next time you see someone you know watching a cartoon, you should really look at it before you judge prematurely.
