January 2014 • GOOD TIMES – 3

By Paul NeimanA couple yars ago, there was a story out

of India that the last typewriter factory hasust shut its doors for good. The reason?

Typewriters are becom-

ing obsolete since mosttyping is now done on acomputer. It turns out thatthe story wasn’t entirelyaccurate, as there are a fewcompanies that still makeelectric typewriters.

Back in 1956, a ladynamed Bette Nesmithworked as a typist for abank. She wasn’t a verygood typist, though, andfound herself erasing herfrequent mistakes with apencil eraser. When her em-ployer switched over to elec-tric typewriters, she could no longer eraseher mistakes on the new type of ribbon, soshe set out to invent a product that wouldallow her to paint over her mistakes. Bettecreated the invention of Liquid Paper,which was originally known as MistakeOut, to help her in her job.

Bette experimented with many differ-ent combinations of ingredients until she

found the right formula. Later, after she hadalready begun selling bottles of her LiquidPaper, she was red from her job. The r-

ing turned out to be a blessing, though, asit enabled her to devote all of her time toher Liquid Paper business. Sales beganto skyrocket and, in an attempt to ll the

demand while keeping her

costs down, Bette had herson, Robert, help her ll thebottles of Liquid Paper.

By 1975, her company,the Liquid Paper Corpora-tion, employed 200 peopleand produced 25 millionbottles of Liquid Paper thatwere sold in 31 countries.She later sold her companyto Gillette for $47 millionplus royalties.

I don’t mean to changethe subject, but back in1997, the 1960’s pop band,

The Monkees, staged their 30th Anniver-sary Reunion Tour. Only three of the origi-nal four band members participated. DavyJones, Micky Dolenz and Peter Torkinson,a.k.a. “Tork,” were all there, but what hap-pened to the fourth Monkee? Why wouldhe skip their reunion tour?

Could it be because the missing Mon-kee was in much better nancial shape

than the other Monkees? If so, how did hebecome wealthier than the others?

Remember when I men-tioned that Bette Nesmith’sson, Robert, helped her llthe bottles with Liquid Pa-per in the 1950’s?

Robert is his rst name,but he goes by his middlename of Michael. Youprobably remember him asMichael Nesmith, guitar-

ist for The Monkees. Youknow … Bette’s boy.

Congratulations …you’ve just solved the“Case of the Missing Mon-kee.”

Celebrating Winter “I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so

gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and

perhaps it says “Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.” – Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass

Wh o ma need to think


6/86 – GOOD TIMES • January 2014

One of the greatest chal-lenges when it comes toplanning for retirementis trying to predict futurehealthcare expenses. Ad-ditionally, many people are

living longer – well into their80s or 90s – which makesthe need for long-term careincreasingly likely for manyAmericans. But the realityis that many people have notyet evaluated whether or notlong-term care insurance isa good option for them.

What exactly is long-term care? At its most basiclevel, long-term care is dened as ser-

vices a person might need at some pointin life – usually, but not exclusively at anolder age – to help perform many of theactivities of daily living. These servicescan be delivered in the home or in placeslike a nursing home or assisted living fa-cility.

No matter what kind of long-term careyou or your family member requires,there are potentially signicant costs as-

sociated with it. Accord-ing to the U.S. Departmentof Health and Human Ser-vices, the average cost ofcare in a private room ata nursing home for one

year was $83,000 in 2010.It also reports that 70 per-cent of those turning age65 will need some formof long-term care in theirremaining years. Most ofit may occur in the homewhere it is typically morecost-effective (but still ex-pensive), while about one-third of Americans over

65 will require nursing home care.

Look beyond the numbersAll too often, the numbers alone aren’t

enough to motivate people to considerplanning for these costs in advance. Afterall, who doesn’t think that we’ll be able tobeat the odds and not require expensivecare during our lives?

Even if you feel like you can take thechance, there is a more important reasonto consider obtaining some kind of long-

term care protection – to help protect youfrom becoming a burden to your spouse,children or others who might be respon-sible for your care. Having some form of

long-term care insurance gives you moreoptions for care when you need it and re-lieves others of that physical and nan-cial responsibility. The strain on thosewho nd themselves in the caregiver rolecan be tremendous. Having an insurancestrategy in place may help limit the stresson your loved ones.

The options availableMany have the mistaken impression

that government programs like Medi-care* will pay for their long-term care

needs later in life, but Medicare only cov-ers certain services and care, and only fora limited period of time. Also, Medicaidwill likely only provide benets once youspend down your assets.

You’ll likely need to consider a pro-tection plan of your own. There are dif-ferent ways you can approach long-termcare coverage:

•Self-funding – to do this, you needsufcient savings to cover potential futureexpenses, which can be several hundredthousand dollars. This isn’t a realistic orvery reliable option for most people.

•Traditional long-term care insurance – this provides reimbursement up to astated daily maximum and for a set pe-riod of time for long-term care expensesyou incur. It helps protect your personalsavings from the dramatic impact of careexpenses. Policies vary, so you need toseek the level of coverage that’s appro-priate for you.

•A combination policy – you also canconsider a life insurance policy that in-cludes a component that provides long-term care coverage.

While you’re considering your choic-es, be sure to fully read the ne print andunderstand the terms of the coverageavailable so you know what type of pro-tection is right for you.

Choosing the right courseBefore making any decisions, be sure

to:•Determine if insurance is appropriate

for your situation and if so, how muchinsurance is enough. First, consider theresources you may have available to helpfund long-term care and understand therealistic costs for services where you live.Then determine what kind of coverage isbest for you.

•Understand that care costs in the fu-ture will likely be signicantly higherthan they are today due to ination. Youmay want to ensure your policy addressesthis.

•Assess how long-term care premiumst into your budget and your long-termnancial goals.

If you determine that insurance isright for you, remember that the sooneryou can purchase coverage, the lowerthe premiums will typically be. For helpevaluating your insurance options or de-termining how insurance ts within yourlong-term nancial plan, consider meet-ing with a nancial advisor.
