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 “Every day is new; something hasol. way.

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.

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 XOX X«< ySH&'ZStS? met SNBgSMk VNtgi TENDER LOVING CARE! i FOR YOUR ?
