401K Financial Planning

Williams asked:


Something like 30% of all Americans have no retirement savings AT ALL (they spent everything), and another 30 to 40% of Americans don’t have nearly enough savings to live comfortably during retirement.

Why is this?

Why do so many Americans live so irresponsibly, and refuse to save for their own retirements?

Are they just mentally dumb, or what?

I am a 19 year old college student. I realize that by the time I reach 65 social security will be non existent. Thats what happens when are government decides to borrow against it. What is the best way to start saving for retirement. I want to put about 500 aside now, and add at least ten percent each pay check. With CD rates so low, is the best investment an annuity? Roth IRA?

Posture Support Brace

asked:


It is somehow corrupt to take our retirement (otherwise known as social security) and use it for other programs then tell we the people we are out of money for our old age. Why is this never addressed for what it is? You can simply replace what was taken from SS with money from the Sentators retirement fund. We the people pay that as well.

Mortgage Debt

Pam77847 asked:


I want to start a business, but we took a second on our house when my husband started his business. It’s going OK, but not as fast as we’d like to see it. I need some cash to start another type of business, but need to do it now. Would it be better to put it on credit cards or take money from my retirement accounts? I thought I heard you can use money from your retirement accounts only to start a business because that is like funding your retirement.
