That's not the case today. In today's world, to have sufficient amounts of money to retire, you must have enough to have a rising income throughout your lifetime. How do you figure out how much you should have-to retire? You need to look at what it costs to live a month. If you've never calculated that number, now is the time to do so. Look at your take-home pay and use that as a guide. For example, if your take-home pay is $5,000 and from that money you are only saving $500 a month, you know that your living expenses are approximately §4,500 a month. From that number, you can make adjustments for retirement. As an example, if there is someone you are sup­ porting (such as your children) that you will not be supporting in retirement, you can back off some of those expenses. In addition, if you no longer have a house payment, you can fac­ tor that into the equation. On the other hand, don't forget to factor in travel or other things in retirement that will increase your expenses. Once you determine what it costs to live a month, back out what you will receive from Social Security and any pen­ sion. On a year-by-year basis on our birthdays, we receive a benefits estimate from Social Security. The number is fairly accurate. Once you subtract out from living expenses, pension and Social Security, you are left with a monthly shortfall. To deter­ mine how much you need to cover that shortfall, multiply that number by 12 (for the year­ ly shortfall) and then multiply that number by 20 to 25. The number you calculate is the amount of investments that you will need to be able to retire and to have a rising income throughout your lifetime. For example, if it costs you §5,000 a month to live and you receive $1,000 from Social Security and you have no pen­ sion, your shortfall is $4,000 a

OUR VIEWS Vote for Monit, Pitsenbarger

On Tuesday, May 8, residents in the Wayne-Westland Community Schools will go to the polls to fill two four- year terms on the Board of Education. The past few years, voter participation has been poor at best, partly due to the lack of candidates. This year is dif­ ferent, incumbents Martha Pitsenbarger and Skip Monit are facing Brian Mulligan Bhagwan Dhashairya and T. Cortez Spann Jr. in their bid for new four-year terms. We believe candidates should have a strong under­ standing of the workings of and the issues facing the school district. The two candidates that do are Martha Pitsenbarger and Skip Monit. Collectively, they have some 20 years of experience serving on the board. They've held a variety of board posi­ tions and served on many of its standing committees. Monit came to the board after helping win voter approval in 1998 of a $108 million bond issue that brought the district's schools into the 21st century. As a board member, he has served as school board president, vice president and treasurer. Pitsenbarger is completing her 12th year on the board, having joined in the early days of Proposal A when the district found itself short on cash. She, too, has served as board president, but her most familiar role is that of board secretary. There's no mistaking who they are there to represent — the students. As members of the board, they have made the decisions that put the students and their education LETTERS first. As a result, the district has tightened the belt on spending and preserved the educational program.
