If all persons 65 years of age and older in Oregon were
gathered together, their number would create a city about
half the size of Portland.
Nearly 180,000 Oregonians, or one in 10, is 65 years of age
or older. Of these 85,000 are men and 95,000 are women.

Families will need retirement
income and they’ll need it for a
longer time. As families look to
ward retirement, they need to
consider all financial sources
available to them for retirement
income and for money to meet
emergencies that may arise.
' Retired Couple Needs $3100
A basic guaranteed regular in
come, large enough to take care
of the family’s needs, is the first
requirement. According to the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, a re
tired couple needs $3100 for a
modest, yet adequate, level of
living.
-Mrs. Johnston says that retire
ment income of most retired fami
lies comes from many sources.
Social Security provides a base
for retirement income for most
couples and individual workers.
It makes it easier than ever be
fore for young families to begin
early to accumulate retirement j
funds but many retirees need
more income than Social Security
provides, she explains.
Some older people can count I
percent a generation ago.
Both of these means of saving
for the future provide regular in
come, but provide little flexibility
in spending. This is when sav
ings and investments are useful,
reminds the OSU finance special
ist.
Families may not think of it as
such but owning a home, free and
clear, at retirement is income. As
a source of income through rental
or sale, or a place to live, housing
costs are kept at a minimum.
Equal to $200 or $300 Yearly
Owning a home, according to
the Bureau of Labor Statistics, is
worth about $200 or $300 yearly.
Life insurance policies can
sometimes be used to increase
cash income, if necessary. Retired
couples do not need the same
amount of protection as a family
with children, so the cash value
of insurance policies may supple
ment retirement funds, through
regular income or as a source of
cash for an emergency.
Series “E” savings bonds can
be converted to Series “H” bonds
for an annual interest payment.
WEEKEND IN BOISE
