Own Canada Saving Bonds, says Costello
HENSALL - Armed with alarming figures
and an acute business sense, radio financial
celebrity, Brian Costello, spoke to a crowd
of 500 here on October 1.
Perhaps the main attraction to the event
was the $1000 door prize, but many of those
who attended came to hear Costello's advice
on how to manage their money and also to
hear some of his famed wit.
"Everybody should own Canada savings
bonds," Costello assured'the audience, "but
never more than a hundred -dollars' worth."
He capped the joke by citing that the bonds
are as good as the government.
In all seriousness, Costello was cautioning
the audience against letting their interest in-
come be devoured by inflation and taxes.
Costello continued to shock the audience
by illustrating the horrors of inflation. He
explained that a six per cent inflation rate
would mean a 50 year old person would have
to have an annual income of $71,892 by the
time he or she retired just to maintain the
standard of living now afforded by $30,000 a
year.
The average Canadian currently spends
approximately 54 per cent of his income on
taxes, according to Costello. His advise is
essentially to reduce taxes to the lowest
possible amount and to maximize any
capital gains income, because it is tax free.
"We have to change the way we use the
tax credit system," declared Costello, ad-
ding this is especially important now that
tax reform is on its way. "The tax rules are
going to change dramatically."
RRSPs, in Costello's opinion, are an ex-
cellent investment because of their tax-free
status. "It's a combination of a tax-free en-
vironment and the .highest yield you can
get."
On the other hand, Costello considered
Guaranteed Investment Certificates to be a
poor investment because that interest in-
come will be taxed as of next year. He did
say, however, that if banks are able to
guarantee these certificates, then it stands
to reason that the bank itself should be a
good investment.
"If they're not good enough to own,
they're not good enough to lend to," said
Costello, explaining that the safest way to
own a bank is through the purchase of
shares from a mutual fund. He provided
statistics to show that many mutual funds
are consistently showing return rates of up
to 30 per cent a year.
Phyllis Ballantyne of Clinton receives the grand door prize of $1,000 from Dave Little of
the Financial Centre of Goderich at a seminar in Hensall's Community Centre. The
seminar, which featured the financial advice of Brian Costello, was attended by about
500 people.
Costello also displayed some of his finan-
cial wizardry in his tale of how he dealt with
a question from a 30 year-old woman who
asked him what he would do with $200 a
month.
' 'He replied that the $2400 a year itself was
not much to invest with, but it could service
the interest on a $20,000 loan. This $20,000
could, in turn, be invested in a mutual fund
with a conservative return of 18 per cent per
year.
This investment would double itself every

million by the time the lady is 66.
Other financial tricks are still available to
the taxpayer, such as income splitting, but
Costello stresses the importance of hiring
the services of a professional financial plan-
ner in order to get the most use of these
benefits.
"Use a professional, you'll be much fur-
ther ahead," advised Costello with the
reminder he no longer provides these ser-
vices and is not trying to boost his own
business.
Costello conducts about 200 seminars each
year and is busy promoting his books, all in
addition to his popular radio broadcasts.
The Hensall seminar was sponsored by
the Financial Centre in Goderich. Represen-
tative David I.ittle explained that Hensall
was chosen for the location of this year's
seminar because it was a part of the region
he felt merited attention. Even so, Little
acknowledged that the audience had arrived
from as far away as London and Stratford.
Previous financial seminars had been
held in Wingham. Clinton and Goderich.
