How much of my retirement contributions will I get back if I leave my job? I'm employed with the local public school system. I began working for them eight years ago. Through my employment, I have been having an amount deducted from my check to be placed in a retirement account through the school system. The system has been adding funds to it as well, but what I am concerned about is the part I have been contributing. I have decided to leave my job and stay home with my kids full-time. Since my retirement account is not a 401K, it can't be "rolled over". So, I am assuming the school system will have to return my retirement contributions to me, minus what they have contributed and local taxes. Am I correct? If so, will this amount automatically be federally taxed, or will I have to report it on my next tax return? I'm so confused! I don't want to call my employer to ask these questions if I can help it, because I don't want it to sound like I'm more concerned about my money than all they have done for me over the past few years.

Both of us do not have any good guidance from any experienced elders regarding anything in life. So far we have not saved a penny for our retirement. Experienced people please guide me on the follwing: 1) If we do not save will the governments of these two places help us in futureafter retirement? 2) Is setting up a parallel income recommemded? 3) What the conditions of old people who have not saved all thier life (will they be provided medical help)? 4) Is it prudent to save monthly, yearly? 5) Do children take care of poor parents?

Where is the best place to invest money needed BEFORE retirement? With smart money management, there's an outside change Hubby and I will be able to contribute enough to our 401(k)s so that we can possibly retire in our mid-50s. However, retirement account money can't be tapped until a certain age. Since we hope to retire in our mid-50s, does it make sense to stash a portion of our money in an account we CAN tap at that age? If so, should we choose a Roth IRA (so we can withdraw contributions if we retire in our mid-50s), or should we choose a regular investment account? Thanks for any advice/guidance!

Why Are People Buying Holiday and Retirement Homes In Bulgaria? With Health, Hygine and Hospital and Emergency Services at such a primitive level it is virtually suicide to spend any amount of time holidaying in Bulgaria and other former Communist Block Countries! Even monor injuries are treated in barbaric a ludacrus ways! My son had sunburn on his feet and the hospital socked his feet in oil and bandaged them tight. They kept cooking until he was screaming in pain! We had to cut them off and force his feet into a bath of cold water! They do not have the faintest idea on basic first aid! While we were waiting in the hospital an English man was brought in who had had a heart attack and been waiting 5 hours for a ambulance. The taxi drivers in the resort would not take him to hospital! BUY IN HAST REGRET IT AT LEISURE! Spain is still the best place in the world for holiday and retirement homes! Today the medicine and treatment is first class and they have the best transplant record in Europe!

Has anyone heard of any chess event or activity in southern us? Preferably by a sea side town. A friend is a serious chess addict and wants a Christmas to New Year's vacation but isn't much of a vacation without chess--to him. Some seaside place in the southern US known for chess activities would do. Maybe a university retirement place. Know of any? This guy is very GOOD and loves to play the best, particularly speed chess. Even a good player or two in a place like that would likely do. Maybe there's a cruise for chesters. THAT would be PERFECT. All suggestions appreciated.
What makes placing the elderly in a retirement home so bad? I have an aunt. She's about 85. She's never been married and doesn't have any children. We used to live together 'til last year when a slot was opened for her in a home for the aged where she's currently staying at as of the moment. My other relatives and friends are criticizing me bec I had placed her there. You see I live in a country wherein putting people in homes is not very common and it's considered even cruel. I've had this on me for the longest time and honestly I'm ready to explode any minute now. I'm just so sick and tired of all this talking behind my back. People think ill of me bec of what I had done.
will you help me with retirement rollover screwed by new employer? When I left my old employer for this new one, the retirement program at the new place told me that I could rollover the retirement disbursement from the old place. So I called the old place and they and I followed the new place's instructions. The old place sent me a check as a disbursement made out to the retirement program of the new place "for benefit of" me. I called the new place back to find out how to send the check to them and how to get the forms they had said I needed. I was told firmly that they do not accept rollovers, that in order to deposit funds from another place I would have to purchase service credits and only if I qualify to do so (it's a government thing). Which as a new employee, I do not. They didn't care that someone else had told me different. So now I am stuck with this distribution in a check made out to the new company's retirement program which they will not accept! What do I do? The check is not made out to me so I can't just put the money somewhere else.
