Arlington, NE (PRWEB) February 2, 2005



Many retirees are caught in ‘money traps’ and don’t even know it, needlessly costing thousands of dollars each year.



Most people are startled to find that there are now more Americans over age 65 than there are teenagers and that the fastest growing age segment in the United States is age 85 and older. With this rapid “graying of America”, it should be no surprise that the senior population controls the vast majority of wealth in this country, yet the looming question remains whether or not they will be able to effectively preserve this wealth for their spouses, heirs and future generations. The good news is that the median net worth of persons age 65 and older has increased by 70% between 1984 and 1999 while the poverty rate for these seniors has been cut by over two-thirds.



However, the bad news is that for a couple turning age 65, there is a 75% chance that one of them will need long term care – and 50% of all couples are impoverished within 6-months after one spouse is admitted to a nursing home (70% of single people admitted to a nursing home go broke within 3-months). Therefore it is no wonder that both wealth accumulation and wealth preservation have become so important.



When questioned about retirement and financial preparedness, most seniors readily admit that they are lacking many vital estate planning and retirement planning documents. Statistics show that fully 83% of people age 50 and older do not have even the most basic combination of legal documents such as a written will, a durable power of attorney and a living trust. The numbers are even more dramatic when including a living will or patient advocacy to the basic combination of legal documents.



In commenting on these shocking demographics, Matthew T. Marshall, Financial Advisor, president of Katam Financial & Wealth Services, and the host of national radio show “Money Evolution” said, “The only consistently successful way for seniors to guard income, protect assets, and maintain or accumulate a financial legacy that they can eventually pass on to the heirs, is to implement simple yet proven financial solutions. It is this overwhelming need for us to share valuable financial information that has spurred us to host a National Radio Show.”



The show titled, “Money Evolution” is aired on www. healthylife. net at 3pm (CST) on Mondays. When asked why he choose to host a show on this station and through this format he responded “It is one of the few stations that will allow a listener in ANY city, state, our country with internet access, the ability to gain insight from our show. Some of our shows will be archived so our listeners can tune in at whatever time is convenient for them. This will also give our listeners the ability to go to www. healthylife. net 24 hours a days 7 days a week to address their financial concerns. There will also be a schedule of upcoming topics and guests (both national & local) for our listeners. They can pay special attention when a topics or topics of their concern are covered”.
