I’m planning on helping at the retirement homes, with a few friends. We’re younger, and the school counselor is planning on helping us. Does anyone have any suggestions on what we could do to help?

Thanks!

Should I take money out a retirement account to pay for school?

Wednesday, March 16th, 2011
momofkings asked:


I’m a homeschooling mom of 7. Our budget is very tight and with the recent gas prices driving up the cost of living, we’re really struggling. I’d like to get training as a medical transcriptionist so that I can work from home, around my schedule. I do have a job lined up after I get training.

In order to pay for school, we’d have to cash in my husband’s retirement plan from an old job. There’s not a lot in it, but just enough to pay for the school and buy me a new computer and desk to set up a home office away from the kids. Do you think this is a good decision? We really don’t have the money for a loan.
We usually get a ton of money back from the IRS since we have so many kids, so I’m not worried about oweing in April.

I am 19 and want to start investing money for retirement?

Troy asked:


I have an E*Trade savings account getting 3.3% interest, but that is not gaining much. I want to start a retirement account that will have maximum earnings but will allow me to remove funds before the retirement age of 65 without penalties. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

How do I avoid California taxing my federal retirement?

Monday, March 7th, 2011
sioux_chetan asked:


CA is one of 6 states that fully taxes federal retirement. Are there any loopholes or tax shelters to save my federal (military) retirement? Perhaps there is a way to maintain another state’s residency while living in California.
