— How saving and sensible investing can pay for a long, active, comfortable
retirement – Thomas Heath (DIERSEN: Your required minimum distribution (RMD)
says a lot about how successful you were saving for your retirement. My RMD is
only about $10,000/year. It would be much greater if my Democrat superiors in
the federal government had not wasted my career and forced me to take their
early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: White
and his wife live mostly on the dividends from 62 blue-chip companies,
including Coca-Cola, Bristol-Myers, Ford, Verizon, Caterpillar, American
Electric Power, Duke Energy, Baxter Labs, Johnson & Johnson and PPG
Industries. He also owns a couple of exchange traded funds (ETFs). He said all
the holdings have appreciated “a lot,” but he doesn’t plan to sell
any because, (a) he doesn’t need the money and (b) selling would create a
sizable tax bill. (He hates the “required minimum distribution” that
he must take on his tax-deferred retirement accounts because they raise his
taxes.) White is fortunate in one respect. His father, who was an engineer with
New York Telephone, gave him early training in investing and taught him the
value of owning shares in good companies. It took me until I was 40.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Chicago CEOs outrun peers on pay, while employees trail national median The
wide pay gap reflects the area’s high concentration of big companies with lots
of low-wage workers. – STEVEN R. STRAHLER (DIERSEN: Trump’s salary is only
$400,000/year. In today’s dollars, my GAO salary in 1997, when I was 49 years
old, was $127,654/year. That pay ratio is only 3.13. If Trump’s salary was
adjusted for inflation, it would be $704,687/year today. I should write a book
about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who viciously
demonize, viciously denigrate, and viciously condemn government employees as
being overcompensated. My GAO salary would have much lower if I had not earned
a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related
master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional
certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related
professional license when I was 32. My GAO salary would have been much higher
if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.)
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/news/chicago-ceos-outrun-peers-pay-while-employees-trail-national-median
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The
average Jo working at a Chicago public company made 1.3 percent more last year,
lifting her median wage to $68,262—barely 1 percent of the middling CEO’s $5.6
million. For the second consecutive year, proxy filings compare CEO
compensation to the median-paid employee’s. Excluding a couple of outliers,
this so-called pay ratio ranges between 661 and 12 at the 107 local companies
reporting so far. Chicago’s median pay ratio rose from 111 to 113.5 in 2018.
That’s well above the nationwide median of 74, with a typical local CEO making
14.6 percent more than counterparts around the country. The opposite was true
for median-paid workers at Chicago-based companies, who made nearly 20 percent
less than the national median of $84,398, which rose faster last year than
Chicago’s median.)

high-potential youngsters from disadvantaged backgrounds. So far, they’re
hiding the formula of how 15 different variables, including a school or
neighborhood’s poverty levels, housing stability and crime rates, will be
weighed in boiling everything down to a single, simple number. Bad beginning,
especially for an institution committed to teaching and learning.)
