Retirement funds : I used to be a "dye in the wool" Republican until I found out from reading some history, that Big Business in America was found to capitalize on Unethical monarchies & governments in the name of "free enterprise". Now, another point of anger I have is that these CEO's not only make enough in a single day that the common working joe would have to work an ENTIRE lifetime to earn... But, now because of their employment/retirement packages, after they pass away, the funding continues to be collec

Retirement funds : WASHINGTON â?? The famed bean soup served in Senate restaurants is made up of dried navy beans, smoked ham hocks, onions and a million-dollar tab for the taxpayer. That menu for financial distress could be about to change as the Senate, following the lead taken by the House more than 20 years ago, moves to privatize the restaurants, coffee shops and cafeterias located in the Capitol and Senate office buildings. The Senate last week passed a bill authorizing Senate restaurants, now run by th

Retirement funds : We built a home with my parents 4 years ago and have been sharing the mortgage payments equally. After multiple strokes and serious medical issues with both, they are now dependent on social security and have depleted their investments and retirement funds. They cannot cope with their credit payments and need to file bankruptcy. We already had their names taken off the title for the house. They still give me a check each month to cover their half of the mortgage, which is now "rent". They

Retirement funds : I never seem to have enough money and my sister suggested that I get an older boyfriend (around 55-65) because they are so generous with their money. They buy you gifts all the time and make sure that your every need is taken care of. The problem isn't the age factor, but rather how do I get a man in his late 50's to find a 22 year old attractive. I don't want a fling, I want the whole deal - nice car, big house, lots of holidays & kids. My sister says to go for a nice widow or someone like th

Retirement funds : Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Person asked a young Engineer fresh out of MIT, "And what starting salary were you looking for?" The Engineer said, "In the neighbourhood of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package." The interviewer said, "Well, what would you say to a package of 5-weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every 2 years say, a red Corvette?" The Eng

Retirement funds : I am going to be 28 this year and I have about 15000 of funds in my employer sponsored 401K. I am currently in debt though I have a plan to knock it out next year thereby reducing the funds I send to Satan's spawn each month (the credit card companies). I am thinking about starting a Roth IRA next year as well as I understand you can withdraw the money anytime you may need it (such as an emergency, job loss, etc). With the Roth IRA and the contributions to the 401K, I would be saving a comb

Retirement funds : I am a 25 working professional working in the Engineering field and making decent money.

Retirement funds : 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

Retirement funds : I have about 5% of my non-retirement net worth in some shares of WB. It's not a lot of money and I don't need it to pay down debt or buy anything right now. But with everything that has happened in the past few weeks I'm concerned about my position. I've lost about 40% since I've purchased it. If I sell it I'll have a nice write off on this years income tax. If I hold my position I stand to lose potentially most of it if there is a takeover (or perhaps takeunder like BSC). If I do sale

Retirement funds : Spending money in todayâ??s society is becoming more and more of a hassle. What is causing so many people in todayâ??s society to be so conservative with their money? The downfall of our economy has caused many of us to become very careful on what we spend our money on. There are many reasons why so many of us are trying to be careful with the money we earn. No one actually even has anymore extra money to throw around on items they know that they will not need to survive. Another reason t

Retirement funds : Hey guys im 19 and looking for something to start putting money into to retire. I would like to retire early at the age of around 45-50. Wondering if this fund would be good since im very inexperienced with investing and stocks and mutual funds. I heard you want low costs to get it going and a good company and alot of other things. Just wondering if this would be a good one or if you knew anything else about it. Okay, so is it possible to do one of these and retire early at like around 45-

Retirement funds : What exactly can the government do for you, that you can't do for yourself? Through my own ambition I provided my family with good health insurance that gives me piece of mind. It makes me sick to think Obama could mess with that coverage in order to cover the irresponsible. The government bankrupted Social Security and Medicaid. Once again exercising personal responsibilty, I have invested in a retirement fund that will ensure my retirement will be a happy one when I'm older regardless of the

She's always bringing me down and criticizing me..just last night she said I was always screwing things up and that I was a "dumb blonde bimbo" whatever the crap that is.

Retirement funds : My husband is about 5 years from retirement. For many years he worked for a company that was sold to another company. The retirement fund he accrued is in stock and is currently losing about $3000 per quarter. He would like to take the money out of the fund before any more is gone and place it in some type of retirement account with our bank. What could he do that would be tax deferred and earn some interest and be safe?

Retirement funds : This is not a plug for his plan. I am really asking you guys, does anyone else out there have a plan that works better than this? And what is making it better? Dave's baby steps. 1. Save $1,000 to start an Emergency Fund 2. Pay off all debt using the Debt Snowball 3. Save 3 to 6 months of expenses to finish Emergency Fund. 4. Invest 15% of household income into Roth IRAs and pre-tax retirement 5. College funding for children 6. Pay off home early 7. Invest in mutual funds and real

In about a year or so i will be getting a settlement of around 10,000 dollars also that i would like to invest. Now the question is for my situation what would be the best way to invest? I forgot to mention i ordered like 6 books from amazon on a

Retirement funds : The 1980's was largely about raiding companies that held over funded pension plans, pension plans that weren't over funded were often dipped into, in any case a case can be made that company involvement in pension and retirement plans takes away the ability of companies to efficiently and better effectively compete with each other under a free market capitalistic system and hurts revenue, profit, gross domestic product, etc. I am not saying that medicine and retirement plans should be sociali

Retirement funds : My sister is needing nursing home care now since the state deemed over eligibility guidelines for social services home care. Before she can enter the nursing home, she is told it is required she establish a trust fund to the home. My sister is in the end-life stages from cancer; took early retirement and disability. My question is, since she is about $5k over the eligible income guideline, how much of the retirement funds will be turned over to the nursing home? I think SSI funds will all

We need to resolve these issues soon to make sure Social Security continues to provide a foundation for future generations" It also says my full retirement age is 67 yrs old

Retirement funds : While making one of his many guest appearances in Obama's racist, divisive "church", Rev Pfleger says that all white people today are just as guilty as slave owners in the past because they won't give up their 401ks, and everything else they own. Besides being a nut, do you think Rev Pfleger is a HYPOCRITE? Or do you honestly think he has no investments, no retirement fund, no money in the bank, etc????? Why doesn't he set an example for the rest of white America and give up everything he o

Retirement funds : I have a Roth IRA through my bank that has several mutual funds but those are all for retirement and I don't withdraw from them. I have some extra money I don't need unless I would be making a large purchase or theres an emergency. Instead of letting it sit in my checking account, I of course want to get in mutual funds (and eventually e-trade, but that's for the future). My question is how easy is it to withdraw money from a Fidelity or T. Rowe Price account? Can I just transfer money from

Retirement funds : My understanding was that you invest the min or max amount and through out the years you let the interest compund and by retirement you would be amillionaire. But reading certain books they talk about buying stocks, mutual funds, bonds, for your IRA. can someone just explain wha isan IRa how it works, etc. Thank You

Retirement funds : ok im 17 and am wanting to start an IRA. I just plan on putting about $1000 a year into it throughout college, then I will try to adjust that to what I can afford after I get a stable job. I was wondering what the inflation for my fund would be if I retired at the age of 65. Because what would the buying power of my retirement fund if inflation continues to rise as it has throughout the years. say if (for the sake of math) retired at 65 and my IRA matured to $1,000,000 what would the buying po

Retirement funds : The record high stock market - "just another example of Bush policies helping the rich get richer". Government tax revenues are at all time highs - "Only the rich benefit from these record highs. Working Americans, welfare recipients, the unemployed and minorities are not sharing in these obscene record highs". Over 80% of all Americans have investments in mutual funds, retirement funds, 401K's, and the stock market - "That may be true, but probably only 5 % account for 90% of all these inve

Retirement funds : I'm just a poor baker who is trying to save for retirement (20+ years to go). Money doesn't come easily so I save as much as I can. I have a 401k (I pay the company's match) and a Roth IRA. I'm hesitant about investing further in mutual funds (I know individual stocks are too risky). My uncle tells me to stay conservative, to stay in bonds and avoid stocks. But he owned a successful business and now he's trying to protect his wealth. I might have to use a different strategy.

Retirement funds : I need to rollover my old 401k and I'm not sure where to do it at. I am interested in taking a bit of a hands on approach - I love getting on and looking at fund and stock prices even if half the time i have no idea what I'm looking at - but the truth of the matter is that at this time I know nothing about investing. I simply want to be able to put my small amount of money in an account, be able to look up information online and try to get an understanding on what is going on, not have to pay

Retirement funds : I've always had this idea, and now that my 2nd child is graduating and going on to college, it's always been in the back of my head, there choice's of electives if not mandatory classes, I just think upon graduation they should have to have under their belt finance classes, know how to balance a check book, know what retirement funds are, IRA, trading stocks, the market, 401K, maybe an apptiude test see what career choices they have, interest rates, you get the point, I think this should sta

Retirement funds : 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
