Let’s Talk About Retirement

Holly asked:


My husband lost his job and we’re down to nothing. I know it isn’t a good idea to cash out a pension but we have to feed the kids somehow. We’ve thought about cashing out his pension from his former employer but are worried the kids will lose medical insurance (medicaid) and the only job he has been able to find (his current job) is only part time so no medical insurance is offered. We live in Minnesota.

Doodlebug asked:


I was there on a working visa, which meant that if I became unemployed or retired, my visa would be invalid and I would have to leave. I understand paying tax - I did use some public services, walk/drive on well-lit roads etc. However, since I was ineligible to receive unemployment benefit or pension in Japan, why did I have to pay for these from my salary?
Shichido - I know it sounds like dodgy company dealings, but I wwas working for the Ministry of Education (contracted to the local Board of Education, in the Town Office) so I don’t think they were breaking the law.
Joriental - I might not mind so much paying for today’s older generation if I knew I could expect the same when I retire. The truth is, I’m enrolled on a private pension scheme and I expect very little from the British (not Japanese) government once I’m old enough to retire. As for paying for Japanese pensioners - why should I, when I’m not Japanese and the terms under which I was in Japan would not have allowed me to retire and claim a pension there? That’s not wa or social responsibility, it’s exploitation.

I have been offered a job for much higher pay, but they do not have a pension plan like my present company does. Both have 401K

Bonny asked:


We have an IRA with sizable sum in it. Currently, my husband is buying back several years worth of his pension since he did not initially enroll in when hired. It is costing us almost $500 a month for the buy back, plus another $500 for the regular pension deduction. We still owe $20K to the buy back. Can we transfer money from our IRA to the pension to pay off the buy back without paying taxes on it?

You belong to an unusual pension plan because your retirement payments will continue forever (and will go to your descendants after you die). If you will receive $30,000 per year at the end of each year starting 25 years from now, what is the present value of your retirement plan if the discount rate is 5.5%?

zak asked:


I have paid over 30 years of class 1 national insurance contributions (nics) and have heard that there is going to be a change in the number of qualitying years to receive a full state pension - being reduced from 44 years to 30 years. Does this mean I will still have national insurance deducted from my salary, or will I be able to stop paying it?

I worked for a company long enough to become vested. I have not worked for them in about 8 years. I recieved a check of what I had contributed to my retirement when I left, when I didn’t roll it over to a new employer’s account. Does this mean I won’t recieve a pension from them?
