retirement is something we all look forward to, but with so much information out there how do you know if you're making the right decisions in regards to social security, roll overs, investments, the whole nine yards. tackling some of that for us today, two premier retirement

they are referred to as nevada's retirement brothers. it's question day. we'll direct those to nick. >> make sure they go to the smart one. >> we got these retirement questions. we got question number one. i plan on retiring in the next five years. should i pull my money out of the stock market when it takes a dive or leave it where it is? >> go ahead. >> if you're planning on retiring in five years, th question is taking money out of the stock market, that's a difficult question. we would have to do an analysis on the portfolio and review everything to make that determination. rather than just giving an answer to that simple question. >> that was a political answer. >> he gave you no answer at all. here is the thing. if you're five years away from retirement it shouldn't be a big dip that has you exit the market. it should be that you're getting so close to retirement. you got to ask yourself do i want to lose my money when i'm

left to recover losses or do i just want to make sure i protect what i have? most people who come into our office are coming in saying i see retirement around the corner. i don't want to take big, excessive risks. i remember what 2008 was like, i remember 201, because they worked during the technology bubble burst. they worked during the sub prime mortgage mess. but they have many future years worth of contributions to make up for the losses. if you're five years away ask yourself that question. do you have enough years of contributions to weather a big market decline? and if you answer that question no, because i'm retiring soon there is your answer. >> i'm the king of terrible analogies. once you're ahead, you don't want to take all the spins. >> we feel like that viewer watching that show, saying what are you doing? as advisers sometimes people come in and we look at that and they're pressing their luck over and over again and we're thinking you're just right

you already can accomplish your retirement dreams. why are you pressing your luck on this? let's protect what you have. >> i like that. >> we can take a -- the rest of the show is -- okay. all right. >> how far in advance do i need to meet with a financial adviser to craft a full retirement plan? some this. some people very seldom getting an early start on it. when is a good time? >> what's your answer? how far in advance? >> i say depends on where you are on your stage of life. if you are -- for instance for us we specialize in people in 50 and older. so someone is going to retire in the next ten years, 50 or older, we are the adviser that specializes for that particular niche. if someone is 30, 40, they need a different adviser that is focused on maximizing growth

risk. we're not as good as other people out there that might specialize in that. if you're retiring an adviser like us is the way to go. >> that was a good answer. my answer, if you haven't had that plan yet, today. call our office today. it's never too soon to have a retirement plan. >> very smart. question number three. if i retire and begin receiving my pension benefits, pensions i wish i had them, can i still work with the pension benefits? >> yes, you can. you have to take into consideration the tax consequences of that retirement income, that pension coming in. if you have a significant job or significant income coming in, sometimes if you defer that pension benefit a little while longer, it will grow, the monthly payments the income would grow more later on. if you say no i want to work part time and a opinions, just to supplement my pension and possibly social security income you can absolutely do that. we like to say what are the tax ramifications of that? does your pension plus a job make your social security 80%

sometimes we'll find that that part-time job is actually costing you more in taxes than it's actually creating in income. >> might as well sit back and relax. >> exactly. that's why we like to evaluate that. >> let's get the last question in. how do i calculate if i have enough money to retire? >> 45 seconds to answer that question? great question. because that's the question everyone asks. have i saved enough to have money last the rest of my life. we'll look at you one on one, and help you determine how long your money can last. we'll be honest with you and say hey, you know, this is actually how much income you could realistically expect the rest of your life. >> we have to know how much you spend. is your house paid off? how much does it cost you to live every month? as soon as we know that we can tell you your number. >> these all are questions from viewers. we want to make sure they know that they can e-mail you with these questions. >> absolutely. >> and the e-mail is right there

brothers.com. make sure we get some of your questions answered. hard answers. easy answers, hard questions. i don't know. >> great answers to great questions. >> there we go. i like that. great having you, gentlemen. if you would like to learn more about how to retire well abe and nick make it easy. call the number on the screen. if you want a three copy of the book seven secrets to the happy retirement, the number is on your screen. for more information about the retirement brothers v website ashton strobelt.com. they have their own radio show that airs on three different stations. they're famous. thanks, shawn. time for your senior care moment, sponsored by the spotlight senior services guide. did you know medicare fraud errors and abuse cost taxpayers $60 billion per year? the nevada senior medicare patrol exists to help medicare beneficiaries and their families, and caregivers, detect

welcome back to "the morning blend." are you at risk of a heart attack? this morning we dive into the details on what exactly can trigger one. and how you can reduce your chances of having one. >> dr. keith boman is a cardiologist with wellhealth cardiology and joins us more. how are you, doctor? >> great. glad to be here. >> talking about a positive subject today, something we all have to shine a light on, because this ends up affecting so many of us. 43 seconds in the united states, every 43 seconds someone has a heart attack. >> wow. >> explain what a heart attack is and what the difference is between a heart attack and stroke. >> essentially a heart attack to the heart is the same as a stroke to the brain. >> okay. >> the same process. so what we talk about today with the heart would apply to someone

the brain and not the heart. >> okay. >> so heart attack is essentially a problem with circulation to the heart. as you know, the heart has its own arteries that supply it. and they're very small, 3 millimeters. very small. >> wow. >> there is four or five of them, but they're very small, just like the end of your pen. and over a period of time as we get older we develop plaque in those arteries. and generally the plaque you won't know it's there, dsn but as the plaque grows, sometimes one of those plaques splits or cracks, just as if you were to touch your finger. what would happen if you cut your finger? you get a clot. what happens inside the core theiry artery is the body doesn't know it's your finger or it's inside your heart. it doesn't know the difference. and a clot forms on the plaque. and when that happens, it occludes the art require, so

we're only talking 3 millimeters. >> we have a model here. this is a -- this is blown up for scale for us. >> this is really blown up for scale. >> i'm thinking -- you think of the heart, you think it's these huge arteries. >> this is really quite impactful the way this is presented. the first presentation here is a normal artery. you can see it looks clear. there is no yellow plaque. plaque is made up of calcium, fat and other components, which you can see o to time. >> wow. >> but -- >> it's where you want to be. >> this is where you want to be. this is where you don't want to be. so the process that occurs that i was explaining is the plaque builds, as you can see here. it doesn't cause a problem. then what happens is the cells that cover the plaque split or become unstable. and the body thinks you've cut yourself. and so it sends clotting material -- >> trying to protect itself. >> exactly. doesn't know the difference.

we didn't know this 25 years ago. we didn't know what really caused the heart attack per se. as you can see from the final presentation here, the red clot then blocks the artery. so now there is no blood that goes past that clot, and the heart tissue that's distal to that clot doesn't have any oxygen, doesn't have any nutrients. remember, the heart doesn't rest, it's always beating. so it doesn't take long for the heart to say give me some oxygen. give me some nutrients. what happens is now it goes into a state called ischemia, not getting enough oxygen. and if that lasts long enough, five, ten minutes, you start to have cardiac tissue that dies. that's a heart attack. >> wow. my goodness. a lot of information. >> we're trying to keep it simple. >> that's what it is. more than i've known about heart attacks. >> it's really quite simple, but quite complex.

but it's a plaque and a clot that occludes a small artery in the heart that causes the heart attack. >> that is what is going on in the inside. and thank you for that explanation because i thought it was practical today. what's going on on the out snide how do i know if i'm having a heart attack? >> some people don't know. there is a certain percentage, and it's low, that can have a heart attack and don't have any symptoms. let's talk about the symptoms, because i think that's where we're going. generally you will have chest pain. re the number one reason why people go to the emergency room. and just by history, we can get a pretty good idea, is it your heart or not. let's talk about the chest pain that's consistent with heart attack that we're talking about. the pain is usually at rest. you're usually sweaty. the pain itself is generally sub sternal in the heart area but doesn't have to be. it usually radiates to both arms, the left arm, the neck, or

>> oh, wow. >> and there is usually some nausea associated with it. it doesn't go away in five minutes. most people describe it as a heavy pressure. but it doesn't come and go usually. it's usually continuous. now, the key is to get an electrocardiogram because ekg will show the ischemia. and the diagnosis is easy at that point to make. and in some cases if a paramedic is called they can do an ekg site. so we know in the emergency room that they're going to bring that person in and he's having or she is having a heart attack and do appropriate therapy. >> technology has come a long way. >> it has. >> that's pretty -- >> as long as it works. >> when it works. so yes. >> i was talking to you in the waiting room before we walked in and you said since the 1980s, there has been tremendous advances. >> oh, yeah. >> the information available is really -- >> when i started practicing, i

we didn't know that this clot formation was what was causing the heart attacks. it took another ten, 15 years to figure out the physiology of how that was happening and how plaque cracks or becomes unstable. generally you don't know you have these plaques. and these plaques don't just occur in the heart, they occur in all the arteries but more significant in the heart because arteries are so small and doesn't take much. >> it's unbelievable how small they are. i want to talk about reduce our risk of having one. >> there is something you can't do, family history and genetics very important. but there are certain known risk factors. and i think we talked about them on a frequent basis. diabetes if you have it. obese it needs to be controlled. hypertension, smoking is probably the worst in terms of accelerating this plaque formation. >> don't do it. >> don't do it. >> it's bad news. >> it is, by far the number one

in your life if you have it. >> it's incredible. powerful information. great having you. want to be on the left of that, not the right. >> these left. >> that left. know the signs, and risks, prevent a heart attack. if you want more on wellhealth cardiology head to the website on your screen. a couple community events to tell you about as we head to break. it's customer appreciation night at the west wind drive in movie theater. movies, including the new ghost busters, angry birds movie, central intelligence with kevin hart. and i think i said angry birds, but i'll say it again, angry birds. gates open at 6:00. >> in support of louisiana flood relieve the lsu alumni foundation is hosting a fundraiser at louisiana kitchen. it begins today at 4:00 p.m. and

and if down -- it's downtown in summerlin location.

time for our pick of the liter sponsored by best pete is a good boy. 13-year-old cooker spaniel, and he's a handsome guy. >> joining us once again is kathy jung, president of the nevada spca and beautiful 13-year-old pete. beautiful. >> isn't he great? he does act like a puppy. he's a 13-year-old puppy. he's so much energy. he is very, very busy.

>> got busy there for a second. you notice how -- you said his me and he didn't turn and look at me. >> yes. he is deaf, but your dogs are smart. they can learn sign language. you know, he does know sit. he does know to shake. he'll give you his paw if you hold your hand out. he's such a good little boy. he would be great in a family. a family that likes, you kw, down and watch tv together he would curl up with the kids in a second. >> i think pete likes the whole ear love. >> oh, he does. he likes butt rubs, too. >> oh, my goodness. >> we're going to try that out. do we know anything about his story? >> he lost his home because his family moved into a much a, which is an awful story to hear because there are so many apartment homes that will take dogs. and that's okay, because they -- maybe the family didn't have

deserved, but they called us for an appointment and we welcomed him in. now he's looking for a forever home. >> he's such a cute boy. >> you can stare at him. his ears and he is a great smile and all about the tongue. >> he is certainly. and here is the thing. he is going to sleep eventually. >> yes. >> might be in an hour, might be five hours from now. when he does sleep we would like him to sleep in comfort. which is why when you adopt shall did. >> you want to try the bed out? come here. >> you adopt pete, you get a complimentary dog bet from best mattress. >> that's right, a great thing because the cover is washable. >> oh, boy. >> i'm worried about you. but he would love to go home with the bed and the cover is washable. >> he's like i'm -- this is why, he's young. >> there is too much toe see

but he is a great little dog. he is neutered, current on all of his shots. >> and i read that he's also potty trained. >> yes. he is house trained. now, he has lived in a shelter environment so you need to take him home and get him used to your schedule. a little refresher, teach him where the doors are and get him on your time. i'm sure you get up earlier than most people do, so you get this dog on your time and it would be a perfect match. >> there is that transition when you bring home a new pet,ig it's like having a houseguest, you need to show them where the bathroom is. >> this is outside and this is in. so if you want to adopt him come down to the sang chew hairy on dewey drive. >> yes, 4800 west dewey drive. we like to do it in the lobby, in a controlled environment, because we've heard awful stories when they bring them home. >> you see that happen, families get out of the car with their dog and come in and find a match

>> of course. and you he may not get along with your dog. you're picking their best friend. so sometimes it's great to bring up two or three and let them make their match. >> caramel last week. >> caramel i don't think went home. that's okay because there was a lot of great interest when they came down and they went home with somebody else. so that's great. >> you have a special situation. you have some puppies that need fostering. >> yes. we have puppies that came in that don't have a mom, so he would with like to see them go home to a -- to a they can -- it's a three-month commitment. we'll supply you with all the supplies you need to take care of them for three months. >> you supply the warmth. >> that's right. you supply the kisses. >> i love it. kathy, it's great having you. >> thank you so much. >> thank you for everything you do. if you would like to adopt pete head down to the nspca shelter on west dewey drive. for more information visit the website or call the number on your screen. they're also on facebook and twitter. >> if you adopt pete you get a

has no name, what's the name? >> well, all indications it's going to be the nighthawks. they had so many legal hurdles having to do with nights that they had to go another direction. >> okay. >> and i think they saved three different names with hawks, and all, and nighthawk i think is the best of the three. >> bill folek said he loves the name and that's the biggest tip off he's given t understand that that is barring some issue that would come up that they're moving ahead on nighthawks. >> can i ask you, how do you feel about that name? >> i'm okay with it. you know, we have a lot of nighthawks that come to vegas. late nighthawks. and so it's -- it sort of fits into our fabric of being a fun spot. >> if there was no blackhawks i would feel better about it.

issue with it. what color is the sky at night? black. so you know. >> too many hawks? >> too many hawks. a lot of hawks. >> i don't care. call them the liberaces. >> all right. >> who is the manager going to be? >> well, that's going to be the next big step. the next big step is they're going to do the naming, and do and i had hoped that that might include the naming of the manager, which i sort of hoped that patrick awaoo who resigned in denver last month or earlier this month, but he's -- i think the new management rightly felt that his temperament was sort of an issue. he's got a great collection of talent and just sort of flamed out the last two years. and part of it was that he would

would sulk, if you were down, you know. >> can we talk about the pete rose restaurant? >> yeah. >> what's with that? >> it closed. it closed just short of couple -- couple months short of a year. and i liked it. i was there a number of times, and pete did his part in trying to make it work. he was in there on a regular basis. but i think he was probably just too e the other thing it's sort of like politics. if you got half the people that like you and half the people -- and i'm not sure what the percentage is, but he's got his detractors out there. and they might not, you know, and might be just teams that used to beat his teams that he doesn't really -- they wouldn't care to support him. so sorry to see it gone. >> tony saka, he was honored by

association and now he's moving. >> yes, tony has been around town for 30 years, real veteran. and he's going to do something at valley's in the same venue where wayne newton has been working for, what, i think since april. >> oh, wow, okay. >> so it's -- sounds like it might be a four wall deal, but i think -- and also i think it's a matinee, and good for him. he's done a lot of things for this town with his tv show that dating back 30, 40 years. >> no question. >> last week we had a fun time talking about the olympics and all the think nanny begans. do you have a michael phelps story? >> my favorite michael phelps story is after the '08 olympics, he came to vegas, everybody knows that, and he was known for wearing the hoodie and trying to learn poker.
