November 9th 403b Workshop

November 6, 2017

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Brookline Educators

             Presenting the 403b,

To Be…Or Not To Be Enrolled

Should Not Be The Question!!

SIX COMPELLING REASON TO ENROLL IN A 403(B)

  1. A $500,000 dollar nest egg: A 25 year old teacher who invests $200.00 monthly for 35 years – assuming an 8% return – will accumulate a nest egg of almost $500,000 by age 60.
  2. Investment grows tax free: All earnings, dividends and capital gains grow tax free until 70.5!
  3. It lowers your taxable income: If you earn $50,000 per year and contribute $5,000, you only pay taxes on $45,000, a possible savings of $1,000 a year!
  4. Pensions don’t come with a lifetime warranty:
  5. Assuming the historical inflation rate of 3%, the purchasing power of $60,000 dollar pension would be reduced by $27,000 in 20 years, leaving you with a meager $33,220.55 a year.
  6. Three out of five retirees will outlive their assets!
  7. You need a back-up plan: Over 40% of teachers leave the profession before becoming eligible for a full pension.
  8. It’s quick, easy and painless: Bring your smartphone and laptop, and you’ll be enrolled in a Vanguard 403b by the end of the meeting!!!

A BEU sponsored 403(b) enrollment workshop will be held in the Pierce School faculty room on Thursday, November 9 at 3:15 pm. Questions: Contact BEU Financial Consultant, Bob Miller, odysseus7@comcast.net.
