Resolved Question: Is vanguard a better choice instead of the Department of Education Retirement system?
(Fri, 27 Aug 2010 16:32:16 GMT)
I recently became a teacher, and through research I found out that I'm going to be placed in tier V which makes a big difference in terms of contributions and years of contribution from tier 4 and below.
Should I just do my own personal investment or would the retirement system still be better?
I live in New York. The Tier 5 requires us to pay 4.85% contribution for our entire career as oppose to 3% for the first 10 years in Tier 4. Looking at that, I don't think it would be worth it.

Resolved Question: Saving for retirement?

I remember when I was in school, one time the teacher said something like, "If you put X amount of money every X amount of weeks into a high interest account, by the time you're 50 you'll have a million dollars in there." So what is the best way to save for retirement while putting small amounts of money into an account? Is it a Roth IRA? Also can I just go down to the bank and set this up or how do I do it?

Resolved Question: Liberals: explain to me why you should have health insurance if you work less than 40 hours per week?

Health insurance is for people who work real jobs, jobs that require that you get out of bed, get in your car, drive to a building, sit yourself in a cubicle or office, do actual work for 40 hours per week and then go home. When you take a vacation, you don't take more than two weeks. Those are what are known as people who should have health insurance/health care.

Resolved Question: Am I understanding this, they cut the food stamp program to pay teacher's?
(Thu, 12 Aug 2010 01:40:40 GMT)
salaries? Isn't paying the teacher's salary the county/states responsibility? Or was this to pay for teacher retirement benefits? Which does nothing for the children. How about supplying students with decent building and books.
In addition renewable energy took a hit too, so I guess we keep depending on non renewable fossil fuels instead of something that can actually pay for itself.

Hello.

So, can he bring my mom.?
We asked another good friend of ours, who is also a retired teacher, and she said it was fine to have the wives come. Is that true.? We don't want to seem rude or anything.
