CORNING CHAMBER Ham dinner and auction Saturday Dr. Kisung Kim, a pe- diatrician, has recently joined Dignity Health Lassen Medical Clinic. Kim received his medical degree from the School of Medicine Sungkyunk- wan University in Seoul, South Korea and com- pleted his pediatric res- idency at State Univer- sity New York Downstate Medical Center and Kings County Hospital in Brook- lyn, New York. Kim is a member of the American Academy of Pe- diatrics, is fluent in both English and Korean, and brings his intense focus on children to the North State. "I am interested in learning all that I can in order to better treat the children who come to see me," Kim said. "I want to know what they're think- ing and feeling because it can sometimes be dif- ferent from what their parents say so I encour- age them to talk to me. It is my hope to keep all of the children who are my patients healthy because children are the key to our bright future." MEDICAL Pediatrician joins local Dignity Health group International Women's Day, observed on March 8, celebrates the social, cultural and politi- cal achieve- ments of women. Yet, women con- tinue to face many chal- lenges. For one thing, women still encounter gen- der-specific obstacles to their important financial goals, such as a comfort- able retirement. If you're a woman, what can you do to get past these barriers? First of all, you need to recognize them. Here are a few to consider: Longer life spans — A 65-year-old woman is ex- pected to live, on average, another 20.5 years, com- pared to 17.9 years for a 65-year-old man, accord- ing to the National Center for Health Statistics. That's another 2½ years of life — and 2½ years more of ex- penses. Lower incomes — Women working full time in the United States typi- cally are paid 80% of what men earn, according to Census Bureau data. More time away from the workforce — Men work an average of 38 years, compared to just 29 for women, according to the Pew Research Center and the Social Security Admin- istration. The gap is largely due to women taking time off to care for young chil- dren and elderly parents. Women who work substan- tially fewer years than men will miss out on hundreds of thousands of dollars in earnings and many years of contributions to 401(k) s or other retirement plans. These statistics certainly are sobering — but they don't mean you are power- less to improve your finan- cial security. In fact, you can do quite a lot, includ- ing the following: Boost your retirement plan contributions — Put in as much as you can af- ford to your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored plan, and increase your contri- butions whenever you get a raise. And even if you have a 401(k), you may still be eligible to contribute to an IRA. Invest for growth — Some studies have shown that women may invest less aggressively than men. If you invest mostly in con- servative vehicles, you may run the risk of falling short of your financial goals. To achieve these goals, you'll need a reasonable amount of growth potential in your portfolio. Extend your working life — If you like your job, you may want to consider sticking with it a couple of years past when you ini- tially thought you'd retire. You'll be able to add to your retirement accounts, and the extra years of work may help you increase your Social Security benefits. These payments are based on an average of your high- est 35 years of earnings, so if you have a zero in some of these years, it will pull the average down. Conse- quently, your extra years of work may help erase those zeros. But even if you have a long, unbroken work re- cord, your extended ca- reer can help you in regard to Social Security, because the extra money may mean you can afford to delay col- lecting benefits — and the longer you wait past 62, the bigger your checks will be — at least until you turn 70, when they "max out." You'll help yourself by becoming familiar with the special issues women face in meeting their long- term goals. As you know, women have met chal- lenges successfully for a long time. After all, Gin- ger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did — except backwards, and in heels. Thisarticlewaswrittenby Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.
