DID YOU KNOW?
Do you have a pension plan? Are you counting on it for your retirement? Well, good luck. The chances are that when it comes due it won’t be
there. Don’t kill the messenger. I’m here to help you and I’m not from the government. You have read about many companies that are
in default on their pension plan payments and many
others that are discontinuing contributory
plans. In other words you are on your own when
it comes to creating a retirement plan. We won’t
discuss health benefits also being eliminated at
this time. If your employer will not help (I said help
and not provide) with your saving for the future
what can you do? If you don’t have a rich
relative you better look in the mirror and see
who is going to take care of you when you decide
to retire (or be fired). You may not be able to
find another job or you might not be in good
enough health to work at all. That nest egg
better be there. Many small businesses do not have the
capabilities to have even a simple plan because
there are restrictions and legal requirements
that can be expensive as well as liabilities the
company does not wish to take on. Ask the boss
if he will implement one, but don’t blame him if
he refuses. It is ultimately your responsibility
to take care of yourself. If an employer cannot or will not set up a
retirement plan for you then it is up to you to
do for yourself. You can do this at no charge at
almost any brokerage company or bank. All it
takes is some of your time. These institutions
want your money and will do the paperwork with
you. My suggestion is with a large well-known
discount broker. A simple IRA can be done very
quickly. You will want what is called a Self Directed
IRA. This allows you to invest your funds in
almost anything. Stick with safe equities such
as money markets, mutual funds and Treasury
Bonds, maybe some in each category. Because most
people are not familiar with investing do not
put money into unknown equities such as Limited
Partnerships. See if you can have your employer make a
direct deposit each payday into that account as a
deduction from your paycheck. That way you won’t
spend it before you get there. Brokers and bankers will want to give you
“advice”. Don’t listen. Do your own research as
to how to make money. The most important thing
about the stock market is knowing when to sell
NOT when or what to buy. If you don’t have an
exit strategy then do not invest in the stock
market. Stay with nice safe Treasury bonds. When you do reach retirement the pension
plan you set up will then decide your diet of either
cat food or filet mignon. That decision is up to
you starting right now.
