worried about this. >> we do get a lot of people who come in and are worried about it the oldst baby boomers right now are reaching age 65, and people are living longer today but not necessarily better. and through my conservations with my clients their primary concern is not out living their money. and they out live their money you are in for a big problem. >> right you've got there are several things you say people need to do first of all, panicking is never a good thing we shouldn't panic. >> you should never panic but when it comes to investing and it is very important when you look at your investment portfolio when you are working and in your prime working years that is the accumulation phase in the accumulation phase you may be able to handle stock market volatility as you get closer to the distribution phase it may be more important to reassess and re-examine your

portfolio you may need to make adjustments you never know when another 2008 will hit. >> you've got five financial tips you touched on them here five financial tips for every baby boomer to know number one you say we will put these up on screen you says the never too late. >> never too late if you haven't started to assess your financial situation, stop procrastinating, it is very likely you are going to live you know, if you reach age 65 it is very -- common for you to live into your late 80s early 90s at this point but there are things you can do in order to protect your portfolio against those major down turns. >> okay, you say re-examine your investment strategy what if -- we talk about this all the time hey, you know you are in the stock market, here is when you get in and out all that stuff what if you don't have an investment strategy. >> you need to get one. hope is not an investment strategy. >> that is good. >> a lot of people just do the

whole buy and hold type philosophy, and that is all fine and dandy until we hit a 2002 or 2008 then it is time to reassess your portfolio and there are things that can be done in order to reduce the overall volatility, aside from traditional stocks or traditional bonds. >> mm-hmm is that something -- well, i want to get through the next one then i will ask a couple specifics. the third thing you say review your risk management plan what we always hear is as you get older and close tore retirement age get more conservative is that the right way to approach it. >> generally it is but when talking about risk management i am referring to insurance policies you may have and how that might effect your estate plan when you are working you may have disability insurance life insurance for income replacement purposes and as you get closer to retirement age,

it may be more important to have long term care insurance those costs can derail a financial plan. >> i was just talking to someone about this the main thing we need to do is review our budgets. >> yeah, you have to review your budget it is always a good starting point taking a look at your expenses how you are spending your money during your working years hopefully you are spending less than you are making, and therefore you have cash flow surplus s you are building up that nest egg but during the retirement years, you are going to need to draw on that nest egg, the problem is if you are drawing too high a percentage from your assets it may be unsustainable and possible you are going to need to cut back on expensions and make some sacrifices. >> some of your expensions go up -- expenses go up. medical expenses and the like you say get professional help. >> it is very good to sit down with a certified financial planner go over your goals your

needs, your objectives s the one thing -- and the one thing that is very difficult for someone to do is provide objectivity a planner can provide that objectivity and do the hand holding especially when the markets are down, and your emotions are getting involved. >> i like what you say hope is not a financial strategy many of us have that hope like this is going to work out maybe it won't. >> yep. >> brad with bernard r wolf. >> so praying is out too. >> that's out too. >> thank you for that clarification. >> time now 8:22 a.m. on monday morning today is president's day a time that the nation officially honors george washington and abraham lincoln to mark the occasion the new acceptabilitier for education at ford theatre is opening its doors we are there live with your very first look a little later right here on fox 5

looks historical and it is just a very nice looking book congratulations i know it took you five years of research. >> yes. >> part one comes out this last summer, and part two comes out this month,. >> yes. >> what is the objective here? >> you know i wanted to -- when i began my purpose was to write a book about mat turner that made him more human because the way he has been discussed in history he just hatched from a egg dropped down and i knew from research that he had a wife, that he had at least one child, that he had a mother, and so i just was going to write a story that made him look a little more human as i started doing the research i found out that primary historical document that we have been relying on, that it just didn't meet the muster test it didn't agree with the trial records. >> back in 1831, thomas grey the lawyer wrote the book

confessions of matt turner this is really been the bible if you will of this slave revolt in virginia s that basically along with another book is what you started from the starting point for book one to debunk these myths surrounding this person. >> yes because you know, i had been taught the history, based on the pamphletly thomas grey confessions of matt turner like everybody else who studied him but inside me i guess we are all built differently i have a fact checker so when i meet people if they say consistent things my fact checker goes off, if i hear inconsistency it goes crazy same way if i am reading, inside of me i felt like i needed to find the trial transcripts as i am thinking that, you are never going the find trial transcripts from 1831, but i found them i had

put a google alert on my computer and after some time, an article came up, called reporter she connected me with the county clerk of south hampton county and read the transcript i went there thinking i was going to read it in the record that thomas grey, matt turners attorney and there was a confession in the record and there wasn't. thomas grey wasn't his attorney his attorney's actual name was william parker and matt turner didn't confess he pled innocent i knee standing there that moment what i thought was going to be six months of writing. >> you thought book one and book two are coming out. >> that's right. >> often we take foregranted people know these stories but tell us the significance of matt turner in history and what is his legacy. >> matt turner lead a slave revolt in 1831, predawn hours

of august 22nd, and really one of the narratives coming out of slavery was that the slaves were content because there were other revolts, they were kind of kept quiet, matt turner just splashed all over the news, and really changed the way people looked at shavery and certainly, that narrative that slaves were content it was like a black eye to all of that. and so, virginia, which was thought to have the most mild slavery and i don't know what that means to us now, but matt turner really gave that a black eye >> he would go on to trial and the first book, does it deal mostly with that and proceedings and what happens after the pamphlet. >> the first book is really matt turners story told through the eyes of people who knew him

from his mother who was supposed to be ethiopian, his slave master, a woman named sally francis moore travis, and so we learned his story through them. and learned what happened at the trials, things that if i had only written from his perspective he couldn't have known because there were no black people in the the courtroom another than those who were witnesses or on trial so we learned his story in the first book through other people and the second one after the history as we know it had been debunked then i was able to write a freerhopefully truer story of who he was. >> that is so fascinating we are in the middle of the anniversary of the civil war beginning 150 years ago, this is before that of course but how does he fit in, to the civil war, if we are studying that now where does matt turner

fit in. >> he was 30 years before the up rising was 30 years before the beginning of the civil war really it was almost like he was warning people, that that war was coming, that if something didn't happen, if things didn't change the war was at hand and so 30 years later, what he predicted, and actually some of the african american people from that community called it profit and still calls it profit all most like he was prophesizing the coming civil war. >> could you stick around we could talk all day? >> would love to. >> you should read both books we are talking about this one with the red cover it just came out this month but the resurrection of matt turner part one and two is available at all your major book outlets. >> yes and also available e

book format and audio book for we oral people. >> this is my next project, sharon foster the author of both of these books thanks for coming in. >> thanks for having me. >> fascinating all right. thank you very much. 8:40 a.m. now monday morning a woman in desperate need of a kidney didn't have to look far to find a donor that story when we come back annie. >> good morning tony so the center here separated they are all about it here at ford theatre you will find a different exhibit on each floor about lincoln's life this is the actual set of teeth owned by booth, taken from his body after his capture those are the cool things you will find, coming up we will spend time in the gallery that highlights events immediately following the death of president lincoln stay with us on fox 5 morning news ñ people! look at you!
