How should you pay for short-term financial goals?

AS you go through life, you will likely have long- and short-term financial goals. But how will your strategies for meeting your long-term goals differ from those needed for your short-term ones?

If you’re like most people, your biggest long-term goal is achieving a comfortable retirement. And for this goal, a common strategy is putting away money in tax-advantaged retirement vehicles, such as your 401(k) and IRA.

So, how should you go about preparing for shorter-term goals, such as a family vacation, home renovation, wedding or major purchase?

For starters, determine what your goal is, how much you can spend on it and when you’ll need the money. Even if you can’t pinpoint a precise amount, you can develop a good estimate. Of course, the sooner you start this process, the better off you’ll be, because you’ll have more time to save.

Your next decision involves the manner in which you save for your short-term goal. Specifically, what savings or investment vehicles should you use? The answer will be different for everyone, but you need to make sure that your investments align with your risk tolerance and time horizon. And you’ll want to ensure, as much as possible, that a certain amount of money is available for you at the specific time you’ll need it.

If you aren’t able to save enough to reach a short-term goal, you have other options — you can borrow what you need, or you can potentially sell investments to cover the cost. How can you decide which choice is best?

To help make up your mind, you’ll first want to consider some of the most common borrowing options: credit cards, home equity loans, personal loans and margin loans. (A margin loan lets you borrow against the value of investments you already own). How might each of these loans fit into your overall financial strategy? Will the repayment schedule work with your cash flow and budget?

You’ll then want to compare the costs and benefits of borrowing, in whatever form, against selling investments. For example, if you can borrow at a lower interest rate compared to the return you think you can get from your investments, borrowing might be a reasonable choice. You’ll also need to consider other factors, such as your credit score, taxes, fees associated with selling investments and time needed to repay debts.

If, for instance, selling investments will trigger a large amount of taxes, borrowing might be preferable. You’ll also want to consider whether there’s a penalty or high costs associated with selling investments. In addition, if you have a long time horizon for a loan, you may want to sell investments to avoid paying interest for a longer period of time, and thus driving up the overall cost of borrowing.

Finally, keep in mind that you may have built an investment mix designed to align with your goals and risk tolerance. If you were to sell any of these investments to meet short-term needs, you would want to consider the need to rebalance your portfolio to maintain your desired asset allocation.

As you can see, there’s a lot to think about when it comes to paying for short-term goals. But by carefully evaluating your options, you can make the choices that are right for your needs. 

REMEMBERING SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2001

ON Sunday, September 11th in the early morning, the team at Rancho Sahuarita hosted a special event for residents at the Armed Forces Tribute to commemorate the 21st anniversary of September 11th. Community residents united to pay their respects and reflect, and witnessed a Flag Folding Ceremony by local vets, an invocation and a 21-gun salute by the Marine Corps League, Brian A. Terry Detachment #1126, and light refreshments.

The Lady Titan Honor Guard was on site for the presentation of the colors, while resident Ronald T. Nicolas played a powerful rendition of Taps. Commandant for Detachment #1126, Mitchell “Mickey” Miramontes, served as the guest speaker, and Rancho Sahuarita’s very own Event Coordinator, Charlize Diaz de Leon, moved all in attendance singing “God Bless America”.

Miramontes shared his thoughts on the event and its significance to him saying: “Thank you, Rancho Sahuarita for the opportunity to pay tribute at your 9/11

Memorial Ceremony and Patriots Day. We’ll never forget the events that took place 21 years ago in New York City, Washington DC and Pennsylvania. Lives were impacted forever and history proves that we stood united amidst the chaos.”

He continued: “The ultimate sacrifice was paid by many. Without them our Nation would not be what it is today. I thank God that such men and women answered the call to preserve our freedoms and way of life. Semper Fidelis! Oorah!”

Jasmine Creason, Lifestyle Director for Rancho Sahuarita shared, “This morning was an opportunity for our residents to pause and reflect, and to remember the lives lost that day. It is an honor to be part of such an important event, and to be able to work with veterans and activeduty members to make it happen".

"Coming together to remember those lost each year is something our community truly values, and it is a privilege to be able to honor their memory.” 

OCTOBER

• October 7 - Draconids Meteor Shower. The Draconids is a minor meteor shower producing only about 10 meteors per hour. It is produced by dust grains left behind by comet 21P Giacobini-Zinner, which was first discovered in 1900. The Draconids is an unusual shower in that the best viewing is in the early evening instead of early morning like most other showers. The shower runs annually from October 6-10 and peaks this year on the night of the 7th. The first quarter moon will block out all but the brightest meteors this year. If you are patient, you may still be able to catch a few good ones. Best viewing will be in the early evening from a dark location far away from city lights. Meteors will radiate from the constellation Draco, but can appear anywhere in the sky.

• October 8 - Mercury at Greatest Western Elongation. The planet Mercury reaches greatest western elongation of 18 degrees from the Sun. This is the best time to view Mercury since it will be at its highest point above the horizon in the morning sky. Look for the planet low in the eastern sky just before sunrise.

• October 9 - Full Moon. The Moon will be located on the opposite side of the Earth as the Sun and its face will be fully illuminated. This phase occurs at 20:55 UTC. This full moon was known by early Native American tribes as the Hunters Moon because at this time of year the leaves are falling and the game is fat and ready to hunt. This moon has also been

given to the MUSD Food and Clothing Bank. Since 2008, the POWER Grant program has awarded $735,000 in grants. For more information or to apply go to www.trico.coop/power-grants.

“As a cooperative, Trico is dedicated to serving its Members and our community. We have been a part of these communities for over 75 years, and our Power Grants program is one of the many ways we help to make a positive difference.” Brian Heithoff -Trico CEO/General Manager.

Trico Electric Cooperative, Inc., is a not-for-profit electric cooperative serving more than 45,000 customers in Marana, Corona de Tucson, SaddleBrooke, Mt. Lemmon, Sahuarita, Green Valley, Three Points and Arivaca. Formed in 1945, Trico is owned by the people it serves. 

known as the Travel Moon and the Blood Moon.

• October 21, 22 - Orionids Meteor Shower. The Orionids is an average shower producing up to 20 meteors per hour at its peak. It is produced by dust grains left behind by comet Halley, which has been known and observed since ancient times. The shower runs annually from October 2 to November 7. It peaks this year on the night of October 21 and the morning of October 22. The thin, crescent moon will leave mostly dark skies for what should be a good show. Best viewing will be from a dark location after midnight. Meteors will radiate from the constellation Orion, but can appear anywhere in the sky.

• October 25 - New Moon. The Moon will be located on the same side of the Earth as the Sun and will not be visible in the night sky. This phase occurs at 10:49 UTC. This is the best time of the month to observe faint objects such as galaxies and star clusters because there is no moonlight to interfere.

• October 25 - Partial Solar Eclipse. A partial solar eclipse occurs when the Moon covers only a part of the Sun, sometimes resembling a bite taken out of a cookie. A partial solar eclipse can only be safely observed with a special solar filter or by looking at the Sun's reflection. This partial eclipse will be best seen in parts of western Russia and Kazakhstan. It will be best seen from central Russia with over 80% coverage.

Support our Students and Our Schools this November

JEREMY SHARPE, MANAGING PARTNER OF RANCHO SAHUARITA

ON Tuesday, November 8th, local voters will be asked to support two crucial overrides for our schools, Proposition 492 and Proposition 493.

Proposition 492, the District Additional Assistance (DAA) Override (also known as a Capital Override), is a budget measure which helps to pay for critical instructional and student materials, furniture, transportation, technology, and improvements to existing facilities on the school campuses. These are items which cannot be covered by the state allocated district capital budget or bond proceeds. By continuing their support of this override, voters will give local educators the support and tools they need to continue enhancing students’ educational experiences, which serve as building blocks for future success in their careers and their lives.

Proposition 493, the Maintenance and Operations (M&O) Override, funds valuable programs and services for the district, (the costs of which are not fully covered by the state).

According to the Sahuarita Unified School District (SUSD), over 100 staff positions are funded from this measure, such as teachers, athletics, security, counselors, NJROTC,

career and technical education, instructional aides and more. Furthermore, this override also helps enable small class sizes, which allow for individualized attention and existing programming.

Rancho Sahuarita has always supported SUSD's overrides because investing in education adds value to our residents' lives, and to our community. Quality schools have always been at the cornerstone of Sahuarita, and parents can rely on SUSD to provide their children with a well-rounded education.

Furthermore, since almost 100% of future

jobs will require at least a high school education, everyone benefits from a strong school system that produces an educated future workforce.

Both budget overrides are a continuation of the existing overrides already in place, and the district expects that there will no new increases in taxes. In 2023, it is anticipated that the overall school district tax rate will decrease.

Great schools create great communities. Please support a bright future for the children of Sahuarita by voting YES on Proposition 492 and 493 this November. 

DIY FACIAL CARE

Pomegranates are known as a super fruit. The pomegranate is high in flavonoids, vitamin C, and Polyphenols, which are amazing antioxidants. These antioxidants found in the pomegranate help the body fight free radicals as well as slow anti-aging.

INGREDIENTS

2 teaspoons of Pomegranate peel powder Rose water

DIRECTIONS

Mix the powder and rose water until you have formed a paste.
