Open Question: Why is Chrysler sitting at the free money trough with Ford and GM?
(Fri, 03 Sep 2010 16:46:55 GMT)
Ford and GM are publicly traded companies and their stock is subject to impact average Americans and their retirement plans. I don't agree with a bail out, but I see why they are at the table begging. I can't believe no Senator or Representative in either of these trips to Washington asked Chrysler why they were there also. They are a private firm held by a private company that has plenty of money. If they need money shouldn't they just ask the parent company for it? Are we really going

Resolved Question: Should I put more money away?

I am currently putting away 20% (before tax) of my income into 3 different retirement plans (7% on 401K, another 7% on 457 plan and 6% on pension plan).
I make about 97K a year on a steady basis, more or less. For those who are curious, I work for the County as a System Administrator. Anyhow, doing the math, about 20% of 97K is $19,400. Which leaves an adjusted gross $77,600.

My IRA has been bleeding money for about a year and a half. IMHO - My so-called fund "manager", whose name I won't use but sounds like "C. More Rice" (which is what my family is going to be doing if this economy doesn't pick up), has been totally useless. I've called several times in the past several months, and when I ask the question as to "what should I do?", I get nothing but dead silence on the phone, followed by the programmed "stay-the-sourse" rhetoric. Well, I got this same rhetoric

McGwire Company’s pension fund projects that most of its employees will take advantage of an early retirement program the company plans to offer in five years. Anticipating the need to fund these pensions, the firm bought zero coupon U.S. Treasury Trust Certificates maturing in five years. When these instruments were originally issued, they were 12% coupon, 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds. The stripped Treasuries are currently priced to yield 10%. Their total maturity value is $6,000,000.

Provide Middle Class Americans Tax Relief
Obama will cut income taxes by $1,000 for working families to offset the payroll tax they pay.
* Provide a Tax Cut for Working Families: Obama will restore fairness to the tax code and provide 150 million workers the tax relief they need. Obama will create a new "Making Work Pay" tax credit of up to $500 per person, or $1,000 per working family. The "Making Work Pay" tax credit will completely eliminate income taxes for 10 million Americans.

Voting Question: Want to reduce fed tax from income windfall (sec.179) ?
(Fri, 22 Aug 2008 14:35:59 GMT)
I just volunteered for an involuntary retirement plan. Under the plan I get 13 months pay as a lump sum. This combined with a good bonus, and 4 months of pension give me roughly 2 years pay in 2008. I'll be paying 100k fed tax, all at 33% rate. Next year with my pension I'll be at half pay and 15% marginal rate. Too bad we can't income average anymore.
I'm pretty sure I will do a "donor advised fund" at Vanguard to "prepay" the next 20 years or so of charitable giving, but this won't put too

Resolved Question: This is what the problem is with fuel prices in the u.s.a.?
(Mon, 16 Jun 2008 17:08:37 GMT)
the problem is the u.s.government ! they have been protecting the oil companies because they get alot of lobbyists that donate or give them money. also president bush and cheney own and have investments in oil wells so it would not be beneficial to them or the oil companies. the smartest country was Brazil that learned from the 70's oil crisis. as we laughed at them for investing time and money into there infrastructure to grow sugar cane to convert to ethanol. now they are oil independent and

I want to start saving for a down payment for a house. I want to start investing in a retirement plan. I have no savings at all.

Health care is one of the issues that both candidates plan to improve. Hillary Rodham Clinton plans to lower cost and have affordable health care insurance by providing tax credit for all people based on their income. This plan will insure individuals not to pay more than the limited percentage of their income even though if people become ill or loose their job health care insurance won’t be lost. However, business will have a choice of either offer coverage or make contribution to public, dep
