1.normally, the school matches 403b more than pension
2.stock mkt will not give you 4% a year. why not use actual historical
performance to calculate? The market can be tough to ride
3.besides retirement income, there is also death benefits with pension,
which is a very large sum (true?) for family
also some questions
how is pension death benefit affected by distribution of retirement income?
does money accrue interest after pension withdrawal starts? |

K****D 发帖数: 30533 | 8 Well, I assumed option (2) in the question -- spend less than 2M before
death. A person with 2M retirement balance is likely a person that likes
to save and plan, and thus his/her preference would be not to run into
situations that's short of cash.
Therefore, let's imagine by conservative planning, this guy has come up
with a plan to spend only $50k/yr on average, which is about $1.25M in 25
years (when he is 90). This should most likely take care of the

发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Sun Dec 22 17:11:42 2013, 美东)
pension 是要contribute salary的 11.54% (我的理解是employer 会match?)
optional retirement plan叫啥 401a,可以自己通过fidelity账户管理,contribute
工资的 7%,employer match 7%。
我的理解是pension的话就是交给退休基金管理,401a可以自己选择股票或者基金?
pension的plan employer也会match contribution的吧?如果是这样,那就是工资以外
,employer 还额外给11.54% ??? |

D*****t 发帖数: 558 | 14 to answer the last part of your question: when you buy a target retirement
fund (say 2040), as time progresses, fund manager will gradually decrease
the fund's risk profile by increasing bond allocation and reducing equity
allocation. This way, when you are near retirement age, it's quite unlikely
that you will have a huge hair cut. ( nobody can guarantee complete risk
free even with a 100% bond portfolio) |
