Customer Reviews
TRS
Informative show; first time listener. Just subscribed.
As information ... in Georgia, the Teacher’s Retirement System is titled TRS. So not only Texas and Tennessee are named TRS, but TRS could refer to any state retirement system.
Also, in GA, participation for teachers in Social Security varies by school district, not statewide. My wife who taught in Cobb county participated in SS and gets both SS and pension with no offset. My neighbor who taught in neighboring Fulton county paid no SS. She gets a pension, but will get no SS or offset SS when she is eligible for SS.
Fixed indexed annuity’s
I listen with great interest to your presentation on your podcast on fix indexed annuity‘s and I have to say that you just flat out don’t know what you’re talking about
I am about to retire in a few months from a job that paid over $100,000 a year
I have two fixed indexed annuity‘s that total up to be $525,000
I’ve had those now for between four and eight years and during the best year I am earn 11% and during some slower years I’ve earned 4%
This past year I’ve earned 5%
In addition I have just under $300,000 within my 401(k) in growth stock funds
The fixed indexed annuity portion serves me very well and we will live off the interest each yearAnd the stock funds are for future years
You said so many untruths in your presentation and I thought to myself if this old Environmental services director can pick out all the untruths that you said
And by the way on my first fix index I chose the 14 year timeframe and on the second one the eight your time frame
Great show
Jim and Chris are very knowledgeable. Explain things in detail, but in terms that are easily understood .
