Smart Moves To Focus On Family
September 2017
|Kiplinger's Personal Finance
THEN: Raffi and Elaine Boloyan first appeared in the April 2006 issue of Kiplinger’s, shortly after Elaine had left her job in human resources to be a stay-at-home mom. At the time, Ava was 2 and Roman was 5 months.
To prepare, they had moved in 2002 from pricey Marin County, Calif., to American Canyon, in southern Napa County, which meant a longer commute to Raffi’s job as a city planner in San Rafael but a much lower cost of living. Mortgage rates were dropping at the time, so they refinanced to reduce their payments even further. They had started contributing the maximum each year to a Roth IRA for Raffi and a spousal IRA for Elaine, and they had opened 529 college savings plans for their kids.

THERE'S more to Mairs & Power Growth than its name implies. The managers favor firms with above-average earnings growth. But a durable, competitive position in their market- “a number-one or number-two position and gaining share,” says comanager Andrew Adams—and a reasonable stock price matter even more.

Look Beyond the Tech Giants
I am hooked on a podcast called Acquired, in which two smart guys do a deep analytical dive, typically lasting three or four hours, on a single successful company such as Coca-Cola or Trader Joe's. Ben Gilbert and David Rosenthal, a pair of venture capitalists, are especially adept at explaining what's behind the success of such tech giants as Alphabet (symbol GOOGL, $320), the former Google, which recently merited 11 hours and 42 minutes of dialogue all by itself.

How to Pay for Long-Term Care
A couple of months ago, I wrote that many Americans significantly underestimate how long they could live in retirement (see “Living in Retirement,” Dec.). With the possibility of a 30-year retirement becoming more common, retirees need to plan for so-called longevity risk to make sure their assets last a lifetime. And the longer you live, the more likely you'll need to pay for some form of long-term care. That can range from assistance with activities of daily living to in-home care to a nursing home stay.
