Do you feel like you are prepared for retirement? I really would like to start planning better for me and my husband. How have you prepared for retirement?

I got a Roth 403B years ago and began with $50 a month in. I have GOOD money manager to work with and I trust him. I think that is key. A lot of them are grifters who just want to make bank and don't really care about the job; they won't work with people who aren't giving a lot each month.

This Roth (pre-taxed at 2013 rates) is the best thing I ever did. A lot of people have more and different, but I think this is a good place to start.

I think a Roth account is such a good idea. Especially because no matter what job you change to you can add to it.

I started a Roth years ago. I started with $100 a month and every year when we got a little raise I put that in too. It adds up faster than you think.

That's a great idea! Its hard to make the initial effort but it's worth it.

I am not prepared. We have the MTRS here in MA. I am enrolled in retirement plus, but that is it. I still have 15 more years until retirement. I know it will go fast. Maybe this summer I will research and start a better plan.

I'm mire worriedthan anything. I have put off extra investment because it takes everything we make to just cover the bills and expenses. Now I am 60 with no plan.

You should speak to your school district retirement planner/specialist. They usually come to the schools frequently to advise and help staff to join in on saving up for retirement. You should already be paying into your pension account too.

Would you rather have an overwhelming amount of work on your plate or barely any work at all? I’ve experienced both and I can honestly say that I’d rather have an overwhelming amount of work. If it seems like no one needs my help on anything, I just end up feeling self-conscious about the quality of my work and my reputation as a professional.
