Retirement

[education]

:) Hello to everyone. I have a quick question. I've been thinking about going to school and getting my ba in nursing. The question i had was was is the length for retirement on a average?

Retirement will depend on you - where you decide to work (benefits, 401K, your age, etc). I guess it would be best to investigate different agencies or educational institutions where you are interested in teaching and find out whether they provide any retirement benefits. Of course, state jobs (or federal), usually have great plans.

My husband worked for the state of NC at a psychiatric facility, and he retired with full benefits, including full pay and insurance. I wish I had been as fortunate, but I love where I work, and I love OR nursing.

So as I usually joke, my retirement is "DEATH"

Then, too, there are Social Security issues to consider.......(that is, if there's still anything left in the kitty when WE get there! )

To collect full social security benefits, you have to work till a certain age - and NO, folks, it is NOT NECESSARILY 65!!!

Depending on your age, you may have to work BEYOND that to collect full S.S. benefits (I, for ex., must go till at least 68).

Not counting on S.S. being there, but sure will be a pleasant surprise if it IS......
