Retirement Savings Plans

403b / 457 / IRA / SEP / 401k

Are a Failure!

5 Reasons You Shouldn’tContribute to a 401(k)

March 16, 2011

1) If there is no employer match.

2) High Fees.

3) Higher Tax Rate (at withdrawal) in Qualified Plan.

4) Larger Tax Bill at Withdrawal (larger balance).

5) (Likely) Future Tax Rate Increases.

“Why It’s Time to Retire the 401(k)”

“The ugly truth is that the

401(k) is a lousy idea,

a rotten repository for

our retirement reserves …”

“…The biggest factor in whether the 401(k) works as designed has

to do with when you retire. If the market rises that year, you're fine.

If you retired last year, you're toast.



If you retired last year, you're toast. And the chances of your

becoming a victim of this huge flaw in the 401(k) plan are pretty high.





The market fell in four of the nine years since the beginning of the

decade. That means anyone retiring this decade had a nearly 50%

chance of leaving work in a down market.





The market fell in four of the nine years since the beginning of the

decade. That means anyone retiring this decade had a nearly 50%

chance of leaving work in a down market. In fact, your chances of

retiring into a down market are even greater than that: forced

retirements spike in recessions just as the stock market is tanking.”

“Guaranteed accounts don't have to be run by the

government. The ERISA Industry Committee that

represents the nation's largest employers, has proposed

a system that would allow individuals the ability to buy

a guaranteed retirement account on their own. Some

government regulation would be needed, but it would be a

‘Private Plan’ .”

“But the policy would be portable. Contribute for 30 years

and you would be guaranteed income in retirement, no

matter how many employers you worked for.




Combine your retirement-insurance check with the

money you get from Social Security, which can equal as

much as 50% of final pay, and presto: you have something

approaching retirement security.”




Combine your retirement-insurance check with the

money you get from Social Security, which can equal as

* 52% of workers (not including home equity) have savings less than $25,000.


* 75% have savings less than $10,000.


* 75% have savings less than $10,000.

* 36% of those over 55 have saved less than …

$10,000!

Most Americans will be too poor to retire at 65!Nov. 1, 2009 / Center for Retirement Research at Boston College

51% are at high risk of falling short ofhaving enough money in retirement.



“The disappearance of pension plans, as well as troubles with the Social Security system, place younger Americans at a higher risk of being unable

to hold on to their standards of living during retirement. The cradle-to-the-

grave relationship with the employer is severed…






Younger people have to be responsible for their own retirement.”






Younger people have to be responsible for their own retirement.”

“Retiring won’t become impossible, but it will require some thoughtful

planning. Many workers will need to save and invest more, reduce

debt and work longer to maintain their standard of living in retirement.”

“The homestretch before retirement is often the most anxiety-inducing because workers have neither the time nor the financial capacity to recover before they begin taking withdrawals.”

Taxes MUST go UP!

Don't put any more money in yourtax-deferred retirement savings

August 19,2009


“This is heresy in a world where people hate taxes … (but) things

have changed in the past year … The old thinking was that you

should defer tax bills until ‘you are in a lower bracket at retirement’.

August 19,2009





Higher bracket is more like it.

August 19,2009





Higher bracket is more like it. If you are 45 and prosperous, plan on big federal deficits

and higher income taxes when you retire in 2031.

Future Taxes Make 401(k) Less Advantageous

November 6, 2009

Since 401(k)s were created in the early 1980s, the general assumption was that a saver would pay lower taxes in retirement, when their income was

certain to be lower. So saving pretax dollars and delaying taxes made sense.


November 6, 2009



Now, particularly for higher earners with the largest 401(k) balances,that assumption is fading as hikes in tax rates seem likely.


November 6, 2009




(Another) problem high earners may face by saving only in a pretax 401(k)

is that, years later, large withdrawals could trigger the tax on Social Security.


November 6, 2009




(Another) problem high earners may face by saving only in a pretax 401(k)

is that, years later, large withdrawals could trigger the tax on Social Security.

(Not deferring taxes) is a good choice for higher earners whose incomeisn't likely to fall in retirement and for young investors, who will likely

see their salaries and taxes increase.

Juicing Your Life Insurance5 June 2010

This year's hottest life-insurance product is well-suited to an era of sudden "flash crashes" and overall uncertainty: It appeals to people eager to capture stock-market gains while avoiding undue risk. The product (is) "indexed universal life”.


The twist in these new policies is the use of a stock-market index to help determine the interest rate for the cash-value account. In many versions, insurers link to the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index, but cap the annual interest rate …


The twist in these new policies is the use of a stock-market index to help determine the interest rate for the cash-value account. In many versions, insurers link to the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index, but cap the annual interest rate … For downside protection, some policies promise a minimum interest rate of as much as 2%, even in losing years for stocks, while others simply protect against losses.


The product "resonates with people" says the chief actuary (for one co.).

“It has a guarantee sopeople can sleep at night,

and it has upside potential”.
