We all hope for long,
healthy lives. But there’s
a serious “side effect” of
longevity – the possibility of
outliving our money. How
can you help prevent this?
It’s useful to know the
seriousness of the threat.
Consider this: About 41%
of all U.S. homes in which
the head of the household
is between 35 and 64 are
projected to run short
of money in retirement,
according to the Employee
Benefit Research Institute.
While this statistic
indicates a cause for concern,
it certainly doesn’t mean that
you are necessarily headed
for trouble – because there’s
a lot you can do to help build
and manage enough resources
to last a lifetime. Here are a
few suggestions:- Consider your estimated
longevity. On average, a
65-year-old man can expect
to live another 17 years,
while a 65-year-old woman
can anticipate about 20 years,
according to the Centers
for Disease Control. Of
course, you’ll want to take
into account your health and
family history of longevity
to arrive at a reasonable
estimate. You can then use
this figure to help determine
how much money you’ll
eventually need. To play it
safe, you might even want to
try to build an income stream
that can last beyond your
estimated lifespan, possibly
up to age 90.- Don’t overlook health
care costs. When budgeting
for retirement, allow enough
for your health care expenses,
which can be considerable.
Even with Medicare, you can
expect to spend anywhere
from $4,500 to $6,500 per
year, per person, for traditional
medical costs. Also, you may
want to prepare for two to
three years of long-term care
expenses, which currently
range from about $50,000 per
year for home health care to
over $100,000 per year for
a private room in a nursing
home. - Keep building assets for
retirement. While you’re
working, constantly try to
put away as much money as
possible for your retirement
years. Each year your salary
goes up, increase your
contributions to your 401(k) or
similar employer-sponsored
retirement plan. You may also
want to contribute to an IRA,
depending on your goals.
And within your retirement
savings, make sure you devote
a reasonable percentage of
your investment dollars to
growth-oriented vehicles that
align with your goals and risk
tolerance. - Seek out sources of
guaranteed income. As
a retiree, you will receive
Social Security benefits – and
the longer you wait before
claiming them, the bigger
your monthly checks will be.
But you might also consider
investments that can provide
a source of income you can’t
outlive, such as annuities.- Revisit your strategy
before you retire. As you
near retirement, you may want
to review your investment
strategy, possibly adjusting
your risk level so that your
portfolio would be somewhat
less susceptible to market
volatility. This is also a good
time to review your spending
needs in retirement. - Maintain a reasonable
withdrawal rate. Once you
are retired, you’ll likely need
to start withdrawing from
your 401(k), IRA and other
investment accounts. To
avoid taking out too much
money too early in your
retirement, you’ll need to
set a reasonable, sustainable
withdrawal rate based on your
assets, age and retirement
lifestyle. A financial advisor
can help you determine an
appropriate rate.
It will take dedication and
determination to help ensure
your money doesn’t run out
during your lifetime. But
you’d probably agree that it’s
well worth the effort.

Vikings sweep doubleheader with visiting Maple Valley boys
Brett Bremer
Sports Editor
Lakewood and Maple Valley, a pair of
young varsity baseball teams, played mostly
even for ten and a half innings Tuesday before
the Lakewood offense blew up to score eight
runs in the bottom of the fourth inning.
The eight runs snapped a 7-7 tie and the
Vikings went on to a 15-7 win over the visiting
Lions in that second game of their season-open-
ing Greater Lansing Activities Conference
doubleheader Tuesday at Lakewood High
School.
Lakewood won the opener 4-3.
Both teams had the chance to get a bunch of
their ballplayers down south during their
spring break weeks, but there is still plenty to
work on.
“It was great just being outside and getting
on the field. We went south and we had a week
where the weather didn’t do it and we’re just
getting back into it. We’re so young. We’re so
inexperienced. We just have to play to get bet-
ter,” Lion head coach Bryan Carpenter said.
“That is the positive. We have a lot of work on.
We have a lot of things to shore up, but we
were down 7-0 in the start of this game and
then come back and tied it at seven. A young
team down early coming back, that’s a posi-
tive.”
A three-run home run by senior second
baseman Nathaniel Graham over the left field
wall was the highlight of the eight-run surge
for the Vikings. It was Graham’s second hit of
the inning. He led off the inning with a single
and went to third on a single by Walker
Klifman.
Graham was 3-for-4 in the game-two win
with five RBI. Klifman was 3-for-3 with a run
scored. Blake Price and Ashton Pfeifer had two
hits apiece. Gavin Willette, Price, Landon
Makley, Nathan Willette and Asher Teigeler
had two RBI each and Ashton Pfeifer drove in
two runs.
“We had kind of a fall-apart inning there in
the second game. We got up big, seven runs,
and then we came out and gave up seven runs
and made some mental errors, some physical
errors and it just added up,” Lakewood head
coach Brad Tacey said. “Then we just held
serve until that last inning and we just started
hitting the ball again like we did in the first
inning.
“That is how it is going to be with a young
group until they get it figured out. I am really
impressed with the way that they played now.
That is a good [Maple Valley] baseball team.
They’re going to win some games. They’re
really young too, but that is a good ball team.”
Makley got the win in relief. He as charged
with four unearned runs over the course of the
final four innings. He struck out eight and
walked two. Gavin Willette started the game
and struck out one in an inning of work after
coming on in relief in game one.
Camden Carpenter took the loss in relief for
the Lions.
Chanse Courtney was 2-for-3 with two dou-
bles. He scored a run and drove in three runs to
lead the Lion offense. Carpenter, Jessey Deppe,
Jakeb McDonald, Christian Huissen and Cal-
lan Hoefler had one hit each. Huissen had two
RBI and McDonald drove in a run.
The Lions were down 7-0 in that second
ballgame after one inning, but then scored
seven times themselves in the top of the second
inning.
“We put the ball in play, and I think one of
the biggest things was just putting pressure on
them on the base-paths moving and making
them aware that we’re there. That is something
that we’ve worked on,” coach Carpenter said.
“It seemed to get in the pitcher’s head a little
bit when we had guys wiggling and moving.”
The two teams were back and forth in game
one. Lakewood led 2-0 after three innings. The
Lions took the lead with a run in the fourth
inning and two more in the top of the fifth, but
the Vikings answered right back with two runs
in the bottom of the fifth inning.
Graham got the win on the mound. He threw
five innings, giving up three unearned runs. He
struck out seven, walked five and allowed two
hits. Gavin Willette threw two scoreless
innings of relief with one hit allowed and three
strike outs.
Graham and Acker had two hits apiece in
game one for the Vikings. Acker had a double
and an RBI. He scored two runs. The only
other hits for the Vikings were a double off the
bat of Makley and singles by Tyler Storm and
Blake Price.
Coach Tacey was especially excited to see
the performance from the freshman Acker.
Courtney went the distance on the mound
for the Lions. He struck out ten and walked
three while giving up seven hits and the four
earned runs.
“He threw a great game,” coach Carpenter
said. “He threw 100 and some pitches in his
outing. He is strong and he is ready to go. I was
pleased with that outing. He got ahead in the
count and he threw strikes. He went to thefastball and Callan [Hoefler] called a great
game. Callan is really good back there [at
catcher] and he knows the situations.”
Courtney and Hoefler are both sophomores,
but coach Carpenter said they have played a lot
together during the summer over the years.
“[Hoefler] knows how to talk to Chanse and
get Chanse to do what he needs to do and keep
him in the moment.”
The Lion offense had singles by Hoefler,
Ayden Wilkes and Courtney. McDonald had an
RBI. Hoefler, Wilkes and James Wiser scored
the three Lion runs.
Lakewood got the lead back in the bottom of
the fifth of game one with Garrett Feighan and
Acker hitting back-to-back singles to open the
inning. Feighan stole second and third and
came home on Acker’s single.
Courtney got a line out and a strike out, but
couldn’t quite get out of the inning without that
go-ahead run scoring.Gavin Willette pitches for Lakewood
