FYI: Last week, I attended a teacher’s conference in Orlando, Florida. They asked me to speak about saving and investing. Many of the teachers were young.
I spoke to those teachers, often one-on-one. We talked about issues faced by all young people–not just teachers. College costs, once reasonable, are now priced through the roof. Student loans hurt. Defined benefit pensions, once robust, are melting faster than polar ice caps. In their place, many of the teachers are stuck with high-cost variable annuities for their retirement (courtesy of poor decision making at their school district levels).
