DECEMBER 2019 19 A Message from a Member of Vegas PBS’ Planned Giving Council

Want to Be More Jason Oshins Member of Vegas PBS Philanthropic? Planned Giving Council Effective Retirement Planning Can Be the Key

’m proud to be part of Vegas PBS’s Planned Giving Council. In this capacity, I empower Southern Nevadans to improve our community by giving to Vegas PBS and other organizations. I While most individuals are charitable, their desire to give often competes with their greatest fear…running out of money. Effective retirement planning ensures that income lasts forever. Once the fear of running out of money has been eliminated, a retiree is free to enjoy life — to travel, to spend on hobbies, to share with friends and family, and to donate to organizations of passion. When people retire, the rules change. In fact, they face unique threats during retirement that don’t impact them during working years. These include: (1) longevity (outliving savings), (2) market volatility, (3) inflation, (4) tax increase, and (5) long term care and healthcare costs. Individually these can damage retirement, and taken together they can devastate it. Retirees are susceptible to these risks, more than those who are still working and have the ability to work longer, decrease spending, or earn more. Now, let’s identify an optimal retirement strategy’s three ingredients: • Protect Your Money: This entails creating guaranteed lifetime income to offset the risk of longevity and is accomplished through a pension, which supplements social security. Some are fortunate to have a pension provided through their employers; for others, we use a portion of their assets to manufacture guaranteed lifetime income. • Grow Your Money: Once guaranteed income is in place, it liberates other assets for growth purposes, to be invested at the appropriate risk level. • Replace Your Money: Finally, we implement a mechanism to replace money spent and enjoyed.This enables retirees to spend their wealth, knowing they’ve provided a legacy, whether for a surviving spouse, loved ones, or benevolent causes. So, how do these relate to retirees’ philanthropic aspirations? Once they have addressed the major risks and implemented this strategy, retirees have the mental space to give to meaning- ful organizations while they’re alive.With this, they can leave behind a more robust legacy and philanthropic footprint. Working with Vegas PBS donors, I get to help them perpetuate their legacies in ways that last well into the future. With their generous gifts, Vegas PBS provides high quality media and services directly to Southern Nevadans. Now who wouldn’t want that?

REWIND SPOTLIGHT

Mysteries of the Jesus Prayer Catherine Ayers and Monday, December 9 at 8 p.m. Matthew Gravelle This special focuses on the ancient and obscure Christian prayer first recited by the Apostles more than 2,000 years ago in the Egyptian desert. Originally passed down verbally from one generation to the next, monks eventually transcribed the sacred words into instruction manuals originally intended only for those dedicated to a life of isolation. During the film, the Very Rev. Dr. John McGuckin and Dr. Norris J. Chumley travel to the caves, monasteries and convents where the faithful still chant this ancient meditation.

WORLDVIEW SPOTLIGHT Living a Lie Mondays at 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. beginning December 16 This Welsh language series is a captivating mix of personal drama and political intrigue set in a fictional Welsh parliament. Catherine Ayers (“Keeping Faith”) stars as reporter Angharad Wynne and Matthew Gravelle (“Broadchurch”) as Harri James. James is a slick political operative who re-emerges from Wynne’s former life in London. The story opens with the ruling coalition thrown into chaos by the death of a party leader in a Cardiff hotel room after a session with a prostitute. Wynne’s father-in-law, who’s also the unscrupulous leader of the New Conservative party, then takes over as First Minister of Wales. Repeats same days at 9 p.m. and 10 p.m.

JACKPOT! SPOTLIGHT Cities of Light: The Rise and Fall of Islamic Spain Saturday, December 14 at 9 p.m. Take an epic journey back into one of the most captivating and important periods of world history, a centuries-long period when Muslims, Christians and Jews inhabited the same far cor- ner of Western Europe and thrived. Here were the very roots of the European Renaissance. But the fragile union dissipated, destroyed by greed, fear and intolerance. Within a few centuries, the fragile union of these people dissipated like smoke.This special explores the causes that destroyed the one civilization of pluralism and interfaith cooperation that for a few centuries lit the Dark Ages in Medieval Europe.
