Invest for retirement : HE HAS SAID NUMBEROUS TIMES HE WILL RAISE TAXES! But during an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press," Obama said taxing more of a person's income was the option he would push for if elected president. He objected to benefit cuts or a higher retirement age. "I think the best way to approach this is to adjust the cap on the payroll tax so that people like myself are paying a little bit more and people who are in need are protected," the Illinois senator said. Already Obama has said he will rais

Invest for retirement : I just started investing with a 401k back in late September 2007. Since then the market, of course, has been quite volatile. My 401k is a little less than the sum total of my contributions so far. I have 23 years to retirement, but you can see where this would be discouraging to a new investor. I keep telling myself the market is at a discount right now and that's a good thing...but this is a mindset that is going to have to develop over time. Is there anyone else on here who began investing

Invest for retirement : I asked this question in more detail in the Investing category, but I was wondering in general if this is a good strategy: IF my 401k options are mediocre, BUT my Roth IRA investments are better, THEN would it be best to drop the 401k options where they overlap with the Roth IRA and put most of my 401k into the stable value/money market option it offers? In other words, a conservative 401k balanced with a more growth-focused Roth IRA? Thanks for your input! I'm 44 years old by the way, and a

Invest for retirement : Let's say you have your money that you worked so hard for for years, placed in an investment, one that you are counting on to provide for your retirement years put in the hands of someone who says he is going to change the investment strategy without specifics?

Why then are those of you trusting someone who has NO

Invest for retirement : American Solutions promotes an idea where you would have an option take the money you typically contribute to social security and invest it in the purchase of annuities. You could cash this annuity out at retirement and get a monthly payment. As an investment, you would likely earn more. You would still have the option of using the current system of putting away for your retirement, but this second option would be different in that you could pass on this investment to your family.

Invest for retirement : I have an interest in investing and retirement planning. In my humble opinion, it is absolutely unnecessary to invest in mutual funds with a sales load. It is just throwing away money when there are so many quality companies such as Dodge & Cox, Vanguard, Fidelity, etc. that offer funds with no sales charge. I looked at my friend's retirement options through his employer. EVERY SINGLE FUND had a front-end load of between 4% and 6% and most funds also had 12b1 fees. Most of the funds offer

Invest for retirement : It sounds to good to be true. Basically you just keep reinvesting this money every 60 days @ 2.67%. So after the first 60 days you end up with $260. Take that amount at 2.67% for 60 days and you have $416. you can do this all the way to $25,000. I don't know much about this stuff. I think it's investing in penny stocks or possibly out of country. Not sure. Can anyone tell if this is legit? I think it's called P - 2 - P investing.
