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?

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.

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.700UW said:
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.

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?
