Complaints do get action if they are reported to the appropriate agency and in the right manner. Most people don’t like to complain so they let it go by until they are driven to it by some outrageously defective product or service. To properly lodge a complaint write a letter, don't telephone. This way the letter serves as a record for both of you. Also in most cases we will think through a letter more carefully. A sarcastic letter is easily ignored but a factural. simple stated complaint will usually receive some attention. Retailors and manufacturers are interested in selling their product or service so they want to please the consumer. If you need advice or consolation the Consumer AdvisoryCouncil, in care of Indiana Dept. at Commerce. 336 State House. Indianapolis 46204. is the agency to contact. They can advise you on the proper action to take. Nationally The Presidents Committee on Consumer Interests. Washington D.C. 20506. will give advise and help solve individual problems.

Retirement Planning

Don’t believe the old song about “it takes a worried man to sing a worried song ” It need not apply to the breadwinner who is looking forward to retirement If he plans ahead James Heubner, president ISI Sales Corp, a San Francisco financial planning and investing service, says careful planning can help solve the problem of a continuing income after retirement “And one vehicle that can be used to assure such an income is the annuity.” he points out i An annuity can be purchased before retirement and can work for the investor during that interim Heubner explains This type of savings plan is similar to a savings account in that the premium paid for an annuity is invested by the issuing company It earns interest and is paid back to the purchaser in regular monthly installments Here’s how it works Take for example, the case of Mr Green a 60-year-old civil engineer who plans to retire at 65 Over the vears he had accumulated $15,000 m his Savings account and wants to use this money to supplement his Social Security and pension income He could invest in either an installment return or a cash return annuity In an installment return plan, most of the premium paid remains invested and draws interest. In a cash plan, the investor receives a set monthly amount until the annuity is exhausted. In the case of Mr. Green, at the age of 65 he would receive $144.51 per month on an Installment refund plan. On a cash program, he would get $138.87

Or he could take an immediate monthly income. of $94 with an installment refund annuity of s9l with a cash refund plan. On the other hand, if Mr. Green waits until he is 65 to buy the $15,000 annuity he would get only $lO5 monthly payment and $lO2 cash refund If he waited until he is 65 and buys the annuity, i* would cost him $20,400 to get the $144.51 monthly payment “In effect, Mr. Green could increase his monthly income from an annuity by more than 45 per cent if he buys when he is 60 and defers payment until he is 65,” Heubner emphasizes • i The worst tempered people I’ve ever met were people who knew they were wrong.
