The Social Security Administration currently projects an average retirement of 18 years for a man and 21 years for a woman (assuming retirement at age 65). So, sharing the same vision of retirement (or at least respecting the difference in each other’s visions) seems crucial to retirement happiness.

| Why Don't All Affluent People Become Wealthy? |
Some people are better off economically at 30 or 40 than they are at 50 or 60. In some cases, fate deals them a bad hand. In other cases, bad decisions and inaction are to blame.

In the 40's children were protected... There were no TVs... There were no I phones or I pads... No evening news about killings... Children had less to worry about... Children worried but about things... Things like missing the Lone Ranger Radio show...

By now, we assume that almost everyone knows that Carrol Mitchem, chairman of the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners, was arrested Wednesday night (June 8th) for driving while impaired. Some have called for his resignation because of the arrest. We do NOT believe he should resign.

| "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" |
You've no doubt heard the old saying, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!" The grammar may be unacceptable, but the idea is solid; and it's why the Lincoln Herald is endorsing Sheriff Bill Beam and County Commissioners Bud Cesena and Milton Sigmon in their quest for re-election.

| Taking Charge Of Your Financial Life |
When you are putting together a household, it isn’t unusual to delegate responsibilities. One spouse or partner may take on the laundry, while another takes on the shopping. You might also decide which one of you vacuums and which one of you dusts. This is a perfectly fine way to divvy up household tasks and chores.
