It's time to sign a AMFA card

[700UW]

No one is paying me anything, how many times are you and others going to post misinformation?

 

[WeAAsles]

On this topic you're more full of it then even what I've seen Nelson pull. You ignore everything that doesn't suit your agenda. Baloney if you don't have an agenda.

Otherwise learn what the phrase "NOT INTERESTED" means. Do you have a problem with that?

So since you are pimping 401ks are you on fidelity or wall street's payroll?

 

[700UW]

So you want the ramp, mechanic and related and maintenance trainers to lose another pension?

 

[WeAAsles]

"I" don't want it. "I" am TWU. "I" do not have it and do not want it. What other people want or don't want is their problem. I do not want it.

Wow man you're a pain in the A.

again you did not answer my question I posted yesterday regarding your 401k  so I figured out quickly that yours was never affected   
 
but then again you just cant resist yourself and your temptations at naggin 700 for every little dam thing    man you seriously need help for your obsession w 700  and your hatred of the IAM and US

 

[WeAAsles]

No hatred whatsoever for either actually. Paint it as you want to though. I do not want a multi-employer union pension from ANY union.

My 401 did ok actually since I monitor and manage it myself. My personal losses were no where near as bad as others I know who don't follow the market. That also is something people should learn. It's called personal responsibility.

And if 700 acts like Tim Nelson I'll call him out just the same. I don't discriminate.

Why even $1M may not be enough for retirement
 
You've been saving like a miser to get ready for retirement. You've pinched pennies, kept that last car for what seems like an eternity. And now you've banked a cool $1 million for your retirement years.

Think you're set?

Well, you very well might be. Then again, you still might be short.

"The good news is there are more millionaires," says Richard G. Dragotta, at LPL Financial in Paramus, N.J. "Over 9 million people in the U.S. have $1 million or more." But, Dragotta says, $1 million might not mean you're wealthy: The new $1 million may be $2 million.

There is no perfect retirement solution today. There are no guarantees. A diversified portfolio of course is the best option. But you have to do your homework to attempt to get the best value and greatest returns? I've already posted many items further on up this thread that the readers can disect to see that a multiple-employer union pension fund does not create that best value. Unfortunately the product sold to fund that retirement option is not selling well here in the US at the moment. That product is union membership. As those ranks drop the fund has more difficulty making it's promised payouts and will need to reduce those promises as an absolute certainty.

Of course I 100% wish that wasn't the current reality but when it comes to financing our future we cannot look at the world through rose colored glasses and have to see the realities for what they are. The word "Pension" is just a word, nothing more. Don't let that word guide your future.

And don't buy into something that others are desperate to have you be a part of to help them at the cost of your own future. At the end of your work life you need to take care of yourselves. No one is going to do it for you.

Getting back on topic;  has anyone heard of a strong card signing at US???

 

[Kev3188]

I thought I saw on here somewhere that the last election at US wound up with an anemic number of votes for AMFA. Like single digit anemic. Obviously, the dynamics have changed quite a bit even since then, so maybe there's some signs of life?

 

[700UW]

It was 8 write-ins I believe.

 

[WeAAsles]

8 write in's and 21 complete idiots.
