have absolutely nothing saved for
Retirement-Yahoo Finance Dec.

5. • History of Retirement Plans:
– Prior to 1929 only 3% of Workers Were Covered
by a Retirement or Pension Plan.
– During the 30’s, Despite the Great Depression, of
Those Workers Lucky Enough to be Employed
(37% Unemployment )Those Covered By Pensions
Rose to 15%.
– In 1935, as Part of the New Deal Social Security
Was Passed and Became an Important Part of
Retirement Security.
6. • Social Security Was Designed to be a Supplement to
Retirement Income Not Entirely Replace It.
• Unions Played an Important Role in the Expansion of
Retirement Benefits and Employee Benefits
Including: Health Care, Sick Time, Vacation Time and
Most of the Traditional Benefits We Have Come to
Expect From Employment.
• In 1965 Medicare Passed Which Became the 2nd Pillar
Underpinning Retirement.
7. • The Arab Oil Embargo in 1973/74 Vastly
Changed the Employment Landscape.
• After World War II Europe, Japan and Russia
Were Left Decimated as the War Was Fought
on Their Soil.
• This Left the United States and its Companies
Unchallenged.
• The United States Became a SuperPower
Economically and Militarily.
8. • The Creation of the Nations Roadway System Under President
Eisenhower Had Built the Foundation of Modern
Infrastructure.
• The Man on the Moon Project in the 60’s and the Space
Shuttle in the 70’s Created Great Innovations Such as: the
Creation of the Integrated Circuit, Microchips and Provided
the Application and Funding for Advances in Energy,
Agriculture, Health Care, Communications, Ceramics (Think
Fiber Optics) Computer and Digital Technology.
9. • This Laid the Foundation for Companies to
Adopt the Research the Government Did in
Manufacturing, Energy, Communications,
Health Care ,Computer and Digital Technology
Which Was Adopted by Companies Like IBM,
Microsoft , Apple, GE, AT&T, General Dynamics
and Many Others.
10. • However, in 1973/74 the Arab Oil Embargo and
the Skyrocketing Price of Oil Changed the
Economics of Doing Business in the United States.
• We All Know the Rising Price of Oil Resulted in
Hyper Inflation at the End of the 70’s and early
80’s.
• At the Same Time, the European and Japanese
Economies Began to Recover From the
Decimation of World War II.
11. • The Global Supremacy of Corporate America,
What We Now Call the Dow 30 and S&P 500 Was
Challenged by Foreign Companies.
• This Combination of Events Began to Break the
Social Contract That Existed Between Employees
and Their Companies that had been Fostered by
the New Deal, the Creation of Medicare and
Unions.
• The Paradigm of Employee Benefits Was About to
Change .
12. • In 1978 a Little-Known Section of the IRS Code
called 401(K) Was used to Create the 401(k)
Plan.
• This Represented a Major Shift in How People
Saved for Retirement.
13. • Up Until This Point Companies Provided Retirement
Income Benefits by Investing Money From Corporate
Earnings in a Plan that the Company Managed on Behalf
of their Employees.
• These Plans Known as Defined Benefit Plans Paid a
Monthly Income to Employees When They Retired
(Usually at the Social Security Full Retirement Age of 65).
• Retirement Income Paid by Company Defined Benefit
Plans was based on a Formula. Usually, the Retirement
Income Benefit Paid Benefits Based on the Best 5 Years of
the Last 10 Years of Service.
• So, the Company Pension Plan, Social Security and
Medicare Were the Pillars On Which Retirement Was
Based.
14. • The Birth of the 401k and the IRA (the Individual
Retirement Account) in 1980 Put the Burden of
Saving and Managing Retirement Assets Squarely
on the Shoulders of the Individual.
• Individuals Now Had to Save Their Own Money
and They Had to Manage Their Own Retirement
Plan Assets.
• This was All Driven by the Economic Pressures We
Have Been Discussing.
• Traditional Defined Benefit Company Pension
Plans Began to Disappear.
15. • In the Late 70’s and Early 80’s Additional Pressures
Began to Build. Whole Industries Began to Decline.
• One of the Most Notable Case Studies is the Steel
Industry. Companies Like U.S. Steel, Bethlehem Steel,
J&L Steel, National Intergroup and Others Stopped
Investing in their Mills.
• Mass Layoffs and Steel Mill Closures Decimated Areas
Like Pittsburgh, Akron, Cleveland, Birmingham,
Alabama and Many Other Cities.
• Pension Plans Had to Be Rescued by the Pension
Benefit Guarantee Corporation. A Government Insurer
of Defined Benefits Pension Plans so They Could
Continue to Pay Benefits.
16. • A Few Defined Benefit Pension Benefit Plans
Still Exist Today. However, Most Organizations
Have Either Converted Them to What are
Known as Cash Balance Plans. A Defined
Benefit Plan With No Guaranteed income
Benefit but Still Managed By the Company.
• Or a 401k Defined Contribution Only Model.
17. • No Discussion About Retirement Plans and
Retirement Income is Complete Without a
Discussion About Health Care and How the Cost
of Health Care Impacts You During Your Working
Years and in Retirement.
• If You Remember, Until the Mid 1980’s Health
Insurance Benefits Were Largely Paid for by Your
Employer.
• But, In 1987/88 Something Happened.
18. • The Cost of Health Care Began to Skyrocket. Advances
in Technology in Testing Such as: the MRI and CT Scan,
Advances in Treating Cancer, Spinal Treatments and
Other Diseases and the Cost of Drugs and
Pharmaceuticals Pushed the the Cost of Health Care
Higher.
• Advances in Bio-Technology Such as: the Mapping of
the Human Genome in 2002, Genetic Treatments
Which Have Been and Are in Development, the Use
and Application of Stem Cells, Regenerative Therapies
and Gene Splicing While Providing Life Saving
Treatment Continue to Raise Heath Care Costs.
19. • In 1988, in Response to the Rising Cost of Health Care
the Government Made-a-Decision to Cap the Cost of
Health Care at 18% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
This 18% Cap Exists to This Day.
• GDP is the Sum of All Goods and Services Sold in the
United States and is Measured Quarterly and Annually.
• To Contain the Cost of Health Care the Government
Gave Birth to a Health Insurance Concept Called
Managed Care.
20. • Managed Care First Was Expressed in a New
Type of Health Insurance called the Health
Maintenance Organization (HMO).
21. • The Purpose of the HMO Was Several Fold:
– 1. Lower the Cost of Health Care by Limiting Your
Provider of Heath Care to One Organization.
– Require Your Primary Care Doctor to be at the
Center of Managing Your Care and Approve All
Referrals to Specialists.
– Require the Individual Receiving Care to Be
Financially Responsible for a Portion of their Care
to Provide an Incentive to Only Seek Care When
Care is Needed.
22. Which Type of Health Insurance Is
Right for You?
• There Are Now Many Different Types of Managed
Care Plans Ranging From: HMO’s, Preferred
Provider Organizations (PPO’s), Medicare
Advantage Plans for the Retired and the Disabled,
Traditional Medicare, Medicaid, Indemnity Plans
and Others.
• As Health Care Has Become More Expensive, and
Requires a Greater Contribution by the Insured,
Health Care Needs to be Looked at Differently.
23. • If You Were Going to Buy a House or Car. We
All Know That to Make a Large Purchase We
Usually Have to Finance it Before We Buy it.
• Health Care Has Entered a Realm Where it is
No Different. We Are No Longer Able to
Obtain Health Care Unless We Can
Demonstrate How it Will Be Paid For.
24. • Therefore, We Must Separate the Financing of
Health Care From the Provision of Health Care.
• Once We Know How our Health Care Will Be Paid
for it Will Be Easier to Obtain it. It Will Also be
Easier to Obtain the Right Type of Health Care
Rather Than Settle for What Health Care
Providers Are Willing to Offer Based on What
They Think We Can Afford.
25. • This Truth is Especially Important in Retirement
When Your Income May be Less Than When You
Are Working.
• At a time in History When You are Typically
Required to Pay Approximately 20% of Your
Health Care Expenses.
• More if You Need Care Outside of the Provider
Network Your Health Insurance Company Has
Established Relationships With.
26. • Health Insurance has Also Followed the Model
that Occurred in Retirement Plans.
• As People are Now Responsible for Saving for
their Retirement and Managing Their
Retirement Assets. People Are Now
Responsible for Contributing to and Managing
the Cost of Maintaining Their Health.
• This Raises a Number of Questions?
27. • How Much Do I Need to Save?
• How Much Income Will I Need When I Retire?
• How Do I Balance the Cost of Educating My Children Against
My Need to Save for Retirement?
• How do I Insure Against an Interruption in Income Due to an
Illness , a Change in Compensation , Loss of a Job or if I lose
the Ability to Take Care of Myself?
• What Type of Health Care Will I Need?
• How Long Will I Live?
• How do I Protect My Savings, Investments, Home and Other
Assets If Someone Tries to Lay Claim to Them Due to a Health
Care or Other Financial Liability?
28. • These Are the Issues of Our Time
• The 4th Industrial Revolution
• A Shifting of Risk
29. Three Aspects to a Retirement Plan
– There is the Account Itself
– The Benefits the Tax Code Provides to the Account
– The Investments Held In the Account or Plan
30. Purpose of a Retirement Plan
–To Accumulate Savings, Investments and
Assets Which Can be Used to Create
Income During Retirement.
–When You No Longer Want to or Cannot
Work.
31. What is a Retirement Plan
• A Retirement Plan is an Account That
Offers Benefits Defined in the Tax Code
for:
• Depositing Funds
• Saving and Investing in the Account
32. • Defined Benefit Plan:
– Is a Company or Organizational Pension Plan That
Pays a Specific Income Benefit.
– Contributions Are Made by the Company or
Organization Out of Earnings .
– Plan is Managed by the Company or Organization.
33. • Defined Contribution Plan:
– Employee or Individual Saves Their Own Money.
– Employee or Individual Manages the Money in the
Plan.
– Accumulates a Lump Sum of Money to Create
Income During Retirement.
– We Will be Focusing on Defined Contribution
Plans.
34. Principles of Retirement Plans
• Must be Managed in the Best Interest of Employees and
Their Beneficiaries.
• Fees Must Be Reasonable and Fair (Means Low and Offers
the Best Value).
• Most Parties to the Plan Are Considered Fiduciaries to the
Plan Including the Companies and Organizations Who
Create the Plan.
• Money is Held in an Account That is Held Separately From
Company or Organizational Assets.
• Holds a Special Legal Status Where Plan Assets May be
Protected From Potential Creditors.
• Must be Managed So All Employees Benefit From the Plan
(Not Just Key Executives or Owners).A Concept Called
Parity.
35. • Structure of a Retirement Plan:
– Requires a Plan Document
– Which Creates the Plan
– Determines the Features, Terms and Conditions
Under which the Plan Operates
37. – Role of the Trustee or Trustees
• The Trustee of the Plan Has the Job of Ensuring the
Retirement Plan is Operated Solely for the Benefit of
Those Participating in the Plan and Their Beneficiaries
• This Person is a Fiduciary
• Controls The Retirement Plan
38. Mom – The Practically Perfect Picture
of a Fiduciary
• A Fiduciary is a Person Who is Held to the
Legal Standard of a Prudent Expert Who is
Responsible for Safeguarding the Interests of
Participants in Retirement Plans.
• A Fiduciary is Personally Liable for Their
Decisions.
• Most Parties to a Retirement Plan are
Considered Fiduciaries.
39. Structure of a Retirement Plan
– There Must Be a Bank, Brokerage Firm, Insurance
Company or Other Financial Institution Who Holds
the Money and Investments Within the
Retirement Plan Account.
– This Institution is Known as the Custodian.
40. – Your Choice of Custodian Determines:
• The types of Savings and Investment Options That Are
Available to You.
• The Level of Account Insurance in the Event of a Default
by the Custodian or Financial Institution Holding the
Account, Savings and Investments .
• Fees That are Charged for the Retirement Plan Account.
• Your Choice of Who Administrates Your Retirement Plan
Account.
41. • Role of the Third-Party Administrator
– Breaks Out the Balances from the Retirement
Plan Account so Each Employee or Participant
Understands How Much they Have Accumulated
in Their Retirement Plan.
– Tracks the Value of Each Investment Option
Within the Plan.
– Tracks the Value of Savings Options Within the
Plan.
– Produces Statements for Each Participant.
– Does the Annual Tax Form Filing for the Plan.
42. Structure of a Retirement Plan
– Depends on the Type of Retirement Plan.
– The Number of People Participating in the Plan.
– The Investments Held In the Plan.
– Generally , the Greater the Number of People
Participating and the Number of Investment and
Savings Options in the Plan the Greater the Degree of
Complexity of the Plan.
43. What Are The Traditional Benefits
• An Annual Tax Deduction From Your Gross Income
Reducing Your Taxable Income.
• Example:
– If You Earn $100.00 and contribute $10.00 to Your
Retirement Plan (10% Contribution) You can deduct the
$10.00 from Your Income of $100.00 and only be taxed on
the remaining $90.00 of Income After Your $10.00
Contribution.
