| 7/9/2008 4:30:51 AM Wed, 09 Jul 2008 05:49:20 EDT Retirement: When time isn't on your side Remember the last time you left the house late for an event and figured you could make up for it by driving a little faster? Tue, 08 Jul 2008 10:26:23 EDT Pension plans suffer huge losses Falling stock markets around the globe and the credit crunch are putting the pension funds of some of the largest U.S. companies into deeper financial holes, according to a report released Monday. Fri, 04 Jul 2008 07:01:30 EDT The best way to take a pension If you're one of the lucky 30 million American workers still covered by a traditional defined-benefit pension plan, you'll likely be faced with a crucial and irrevocable decision when you retire: should you take your pension in the form of a guaranteed monthly check for life or should you grab all of your pension money up front and manage the funds yourself? The vast majority of retirees choose the lump sum - 90% of them, according to the Society of Actuaries. Before you join them, consider the risks. Fri, 27 Jun 2008 06:32:57 EDT Divorced from you, still married to your money As you may already know, June is the most popular month in this country for weddings. So now that the marrying month is almost over, I thought it might be a good idea to turn the focus to - what else? - divorce! Mon, 23 Jun 2008 16:37:07 EDT Don't micromanage your 401(k) You can keep shifting your investments around according to market conditions, but a better strategy is to diversify, buy and hold. Fri, 20 Jun 2008 07:00:25 EDT Retirement: Why your 'number' doesn't matter Back in the '60s, when the musical "Hair" was heralding the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, the popular catchphrase was "What's your sign, man?" But with Hair now a nostalgic memory (in my case literally) and boomers more concerned about retirement than about Jupiter aligning with Mars, the new mantra is "What's your number?" Mon, 16 Jun 2008 07:29:37 EDT Uncle Sam can fund retirement - Obama With most Americans doing a lousy job saving for their Golden Years, Barack Obama says the government has to step in. Tue, 03 Jun 2008 05:51:07 EDT Fat pensions spell doom for many cities The jig is up. For years, politicians have been playing what amounts to a multi-trillion-dollar shell game with state and local pensions. They've doled out lush retiree benefits to their heavily unionized workforces, knowing that they could shove the cost for those benefits onto future generations of taxpayers. Wed, 11 Jun 2008 05:59:46 EDT Financial advisers preying on senior citizens Question: I was at a presentation to senior citizens who have most of their funds invested in fixed income products (CD's). The presenter showed how our investments are taxed and we don't keep up with inflation. He scared the hell out of us.
