A pay cut can secure futurege
United Press International
NEW YORK — Only two out of every 100
Americans will be able to retire in “financial dig
nity’’ when they reach 65, says a financial planner
who aims to raise that percentage.
Venita VanCaspel is convinced anyone can be
independent no matter what his income. She
does not believe Social Security and most pen
sions will bring that independence.
“Financial planning is like navigation,” said
VanCaspel, whose latest book “Money Dynamics
for the 1980s” outlines a step-by-step process to
independence. “It’s easy to get there once you
know where you want to go.”
But you do have to do some steering along the

“It doesn’t take brilliance or luck — just the
discipline to learn basic money management
techniques and sufficient time to apply them,
VanCaspel said in an interview.
VanCaspel, who was raised in the Oklahoma
dust bowl — “we were poor and I learned the
value of a dollar very early” — calls herself a
“financial missionary.” She believes she has a
responsibility to help people make the most of
their money.
VanCaspel said her Houston firm and others
like it “take all aspects of a person’s finances —
investments, insurance, banking — and bring
them together to make them work for the client.”
She said this is a step you must take, either with
help or on your own.
Finances are very personal and the route to
independence depends on individual tempera
ment, goals and prejudices, she said. But there
are certain “musts.”
“You must have the discipline to put aside part
of the considerable money you will earn — not
keep but earn — in your lifetime,” she said.
Even an income of $1,500 a month means that
$540,000 passes through your hands in 30 years.
The biggest single expenditure during your
lifetime is not a house or an automobile, she said,
but taxes. Because of this, learning to legally
avoid or defer taxes is an important step to inde
pendence.
And if there’s one thing surer than taxes it is
that inflation, which she calls the Robin Hood of
the 80s,” will erode the value of what you earn.

United Press International
WASHINGTON — The nation’s
gas suppliers — now tapping a scant
eight years of proven U.S. conven
tional gas reserves at twice the rate
they are replenished — are bullish
on the future.
Industry officials point to the fal
low energy potential in things like
giant sea kelp, cow manure, water
hyacinth, garbage and peat.
A new American Gas Association
study, in fact, projects gas supplies
will increase an average of 33 percent
to 28 trillion cubic feet a year by the
turn of the century, thanks to new
unconventional sources of methane.
Eugene Luntey, president of
Brooklyn Union Gas and chairman of
the Chicago-based Gas Research In
stitute, confidently predicts gas has
the potential to cut oil imports by 50
percent, or 4.5 million barrels a day.
Beset by severe winter supply
shortages just tour years ago, the in
dustry is now touting gas as the only
domestic fuel capable of filling the
energy gap until renewable sources
become available.
The concept of gas as the main
bridging fuel to the future was even
embraced by ecologist and Citizens
Party presidential candidate Barry
Commoner in his recent book on

energy.
The industry rests its case on
1,000,000 miles of under-utilized
sub-surface gas pipelines, installed
mostly in the last three decades and
ready to carry the new methane
throughout the country.
“Natural gas is a declining re
source but methane is something we
can have as long as plants photo-
synthesize and other creatures
breathe,” said a Brooklyn Union Gas
official.
Luntey’s utility, which serves the
New York boroughs of Brooklyh,
