Retirement planning company : Last month, my boss asked me to leave my current position as there will be newcomer to replace my post. He offered me a job to the other company because that's my only option. One condition for me to get paid for the tenure of my service (18 years) is a retirement plan which is 1 month per year of service but I need to resign ASAP. I'm negotiating for a 2 months/year of service but he decline it as impossible since we really don't have an approved retirement plan yet. Up to this time, I hav

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

Over the past 2 1/2 years, attrition and layoffs have reduced the work force of 8,000 by about 1,800 altogether.

Retirement planning company : Dear employee: As a result of the reduction of money budgeted for all department areas, we are forced to cut down on our number of personnel. Under this plan, older employees will be asked to take early retirement, thus permitting the retention of younger people who represent our future. Therefore, a program to phase out older personnel by the end of the next fiscal year, via retirement, will be placed into effect immediately. This program will be known as S.L.A.P.

Retirement planning company : Hi, The company I work for has stopped our 401k plan (3 months ago). There are only three of us in the company (myself and my two bosses) and I have a 5% partnership in the company. They pay me a profit share of 5% as an annual bonus. They do not contribute to my 401k plan. They also told me that rather than pay me my bonus as salary, they would prefer to pay it into some sort of retirement account. However, since I am trying to save up for a down payment, I would still prefer to receive

Retirement planning company : I'm an agribusiness administration major and I plan on going for my mba as well.

Retirement planning company : 1.John is saving for his retirement. Today is his 40h birthday. John first started saving when he was 25 years old. On his 25th birthday, John made the first contribution to his retirement account; he deposited $2000 into an account which paid 9% interest, compounded monthly. Each year on his birthday, John contributes another $2000 to the account. The 15th (and last) contribution was made last year on his 39th birthday. John wants to close the account today and move the company to a stock fu

Retirement planning company : 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 planning company : Currently the politicians have thier own medical & retirement plans that we pay for then suggest we buy our own when our tax payer dollars pay for their medical care &lve their pay along with their retirement which is not social security linked according to what I understand.

Its income statement doesn't show any negatives and its stock has been up over the past couple of years. Is Beckman Coulter's 401k retirement plan sound? Are there an

Retirement planning company : 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

Retirement planning company : Hello, I work with a small company that is not based in the US. As such we have only about 20 employees (currently) in the states. The 401k plan choices we have are horrible, Federated funds (High rates, bad performance). I'm looking to write a proposal to my HR dept that explains why we need to switch.

Retirement planning company : My company will match up to 4%. 4% is what I currently contribute. Since it's tax-deferred, I'm tempted to contribute up to the max of $15,500 annually. Or should I invest the money elsewhere, where it could make a greater return? My 401k plan has averaged 6.73% 3 years, 10.10% 5 years, 4.37% 10 years. It was down for last year: 1.11%.

Retirement planning company : I work for a private company in Texas. Their retirement policy states you must be at least 26 years old before you begin your retirement plan.

Retirement planning company : I have a 401k with Nordstrom. I was employed there over the summer. Now they told me I have 30 days to do something with my funds it or I would receive a distribution of the funds (I think). The reason they are doing this is because the amount is so little, it's $175. So my question is should I just take the money and pay the penalties or should I do a rollover into a completely new account that I would set up and what sort of account would be recommended? I have another account with the Teach

Retirement planning company : http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6138972/ I propose that the major auto makers build this car and nothing else for 1 year, those willing to do so are exempy from taxes (not inclluding payroll).

Retirement planning company : I understand the 801(k) refers to a dividend reinvestment plan. In 2002, without my knowledge (because I didn't read all my mail), I received a deposit of less than $250 in company stock in a dividend reinvestment plan related to my retirement. That money now is worth almost $1200. Not bad for less than 6 years. I wish I had put all my investment into that program.

Retirement planning company : The Federal job application asks for salary information from all of your previous jobs. Does anyone know if the government verifies salary? I'm not going to lie on my application, but would like to know how to correctly answer this question... Is it acceptable to list your salary to include incentives? For example, if my current company GIVES a guaranteed extra 5% contribution into a 401k plan, can I add this to my salary? Not to be confused, the 5% is NOT a match, rather they give you 5% on
