Here is a financial pattern
q businessman has just cut
out for his retirement.
It's a pretty good one. You
might try it on for size.
Il began making this plan
about six months ago while
serving as cleanup man for a
funeral" says this business
man, who is now 81.
1T was an old friend, and
i had been projected into the
role Of advising the widow
what to do about her affairs.
TRY THIS ONCE-In a
situation where the husband
has made no provisions for
dying. It'll make a convert
out Of you if nothing else
ever has. :"
He says he got things
Strengthened out fairly well,
with the help Of the widows
relatives and with six weeks
Of his time.
But l came out of the
experience scared. Because,
for one thing, I discovered
that a widow usually is
richer than her husband ever
was.
This widow, for instance,
had his $500 life insurance
policy, payable in cash. He
never had $500 in cash in
his life. How could she have
ever learned what to do with
such money!"
50
THE BUSINESSMAN'S
plan, at age "a, after his
experience with the widow:
He had $l1,250, in round
figures. hidden away in six
different investments. He
cashed them all in. putting
the money in his checking
account.
Here are the investments
and why he cashed them
In
$4,000 in United States
Savings Bonds mot enough
interest, no protection against
infiation); $1,75O in bank
savings account mot enough
INTEREST," F; $500 in credit union
at his company (too trivial to
matter; $1,000 in a manu-
featuring stock paying no
dividends $500 in a chem
zeal stock Che had paid $725
for it,; $4,000 in a savings
and loan association (no good
reason.
The man figured that what
he needed for retirement -
and what his widow would
need-was not a hodgepodge
OF investments that paid
dividends twice a year, once
a year, on maturity, or when
ever. He needed to buy in
come, by the month If pos
sible.
THE NORMAL MAN is
foolish" he says, Ito try to
invest in the stock market.
You'd have TO study it eight
hours a day solid to know
what company to choose,
when to buy. when to sell,
Only the professionals can do
that. But the professionals

inclined to do what the Gus
toner wants. The customer

or do what Joe said. or play
a bunch. :"
Still, the man explains.
good stocks are paying 4 to S
per cent. It's hard to beat
that. And it's a hedge against
imitation.
So he put his $11,250 into
stocks through the medium
of a mutual fund. (Anybody
dealing in investments can
tell you what mutual funds
are. But invest only in one
that is approved by your
bank or a reputable stock
broker.)
