retirement is ending the daily work chore so it’s really not a personal matter. Retirement at home is a different thing as it means he’s reached 65 or 66 and can stop working altogether. I suspect your dad will not quit working so a mere congratulations card is in order. From the police stand point it is an honor and achievement. So your card could say you’re proud of his achievements.

Question by Karen: What should I give my father in law as a retirement gift?
My father in law is retiring on the 30th. He is a big Columbus Blue Jackets fan, but I feel that he has alot of BJ stuff already. I dont want to give him money because he will give it right back to us. I just feel that we (my husband and I) should give him something, other than just a card. What do you suggest?

Question by KDiddy: How much should I be saving each year for retirement?
I just turned 34, don’t own a home but plan to buy in a few years, my annual income is about $ 49k, and my employer contributes up to $ 1000/year. I haven’t contributed anything to my 401k so far but do have my employers pension plan. I’ve been with my employer for over 5 years so I’m fully vested, but I plan on making a career change in the next couple of years. Also, I’m financially strapped because I’ve been paying off credit card debt but in about 3 more months I will have most of it paid off and much more money left in my pocket each month. I want to make the most of my employers contribution ($ 0.50/dollar up to $ 1000/year) without emptying my wallet. Also, what should be my goal amount for retirement?

Answer by NetZomB
34 yrs old … 6% is good. As you age you should increase the amount.
Fidelity has a great online tool to help you figure it out.

Question by Barefeet guy: Should I build up my savings or pay off my credit cards?
I have about 150$ in a savings account, about 3,000 in Credit card debt. The Car is paid for, only other debt is the house. I do have some money in a trust if I would get in major trouble but its really there for retirement. I have about 12,000 in a 401k(which were not touching of course).
I have 1800$ on one card, about 900$ on the other. How should I go about attacking this?

Question by Liberty Belle: What should i get my uncle as a retirement gift?
The invite said “No gifts” but i don’t like going anywhere empty handed. I have about a 30 dollar budget.
He was an electrician and sometimes golfs or fishes.
A 30 dollar gift certificate seems cheap, don’t think i want to get golf balls or anything like that… any ideas?
by the way -i don’t think a nice bottle of wine would be a good gift.

Answer by Wanger
Go to a sports shop or the sports area at Walmart and get him some fishing lures or something like that. I’m sure he’d like it.

Retirement should mean wondering how you found time to work
Retirement is another word for opportunity. Retirement speeches should emphasise this. That doesn’t mean, of course, that everyone sees it that way. For those who have to retire because they have been given compulsory retirement or because of ill health it is often not easy to face the future. Yet whatever reason people have for retiring it is always the start of a new way of life.
Retirees have that most precious gift, that of time. They have time to talk to their neighbours over the fence. They have time to play with their grandchildren. They have time to take trips. What a pity though that they don’t all avail of the other opportunities that are out there. A retirement speech should be motivational and say “Go out there and do something special with your life now that you have the time.”
There are all sorts of classes for instance where retirees can improve their minds, or make their bodies fitter. Adult classes don’t have to be hard work. They can be great fun depending on the subject you choose. It can be really exciting to study something new that you have never studied before. By choosing reflexology classes for instance you can enjoy watch a class full of people enjoying getting their feet rubbed! The writer of a retirement speech should do his homework and find out just what is available locally.
There are dozens and dozens of clubs and associations anxious to welcome new members. You don’t have to spend more time at the golf club but could take up archery or join a dramatic society instead. Can you sing? If so why not join a choir or take part in a musical? Maybe you would like to meditate or do a class in theology? A good retirement speech will make the retiree think of all the options available to him or to her.
If the retiree is giving a speech he or she will probably be in reflective mood. Undoubtedly he or she should speak of the friends made at work and the enjoyment the job gave. He or she may have to thank a colleague for helping or indeed all those who contributed to a farewell gift. The speaker may tease those who will still have to face the rush hour traffic while he or she is playing golf or enjoying meeting friends.
Retirement speeches should convey the message that retirement is about having time to do all those things you’ve always promised yourself you will do.

Question by Sasha Rayan: How should I handle the lack of support for my wedding?
Hi, I need some advice about how to proceed to plan my wedding. My fiance and I got engaged june last year. We have been together for 8 years, though never lived together and dont have kids either. Both our families reactions leave alot to be desired. The wedding is supposed to be in Nov this year.
My problem is that his parents overstep the boundaries and order things without me even seeing it first ( i.e. venue, invitations) even though they hand us the bill. They are of the ‘get it over and done with’ mindset. I cancelled those things which they ordered because it was too expensive and the designs of the wedding invitation (colour and wording) was totally different to my taste. On the other hand my parents and siblings have no interest at all. Everything seems to turn into an argument. No one has offered and congratulations, help (practical, advise or financial). My family still havent confirmed that they would take the day off work yet. (we are having a friday wedding as venue hire cost is cheaper on weekday)Each set of parents seem determined to prove that the other set should shoulder the financial responsibility.
We then made it clear that we will pay for everything ourselves. However my family is still complaining about their cost eg. buying a suit or new outfit to wear to it and petrol travel cost on the day. My parents keep wanting me to sacrifice on everything (eg I should not have a photographer or videographer, or flowers.)
Lately they’ve been pressuring me to call off the wedding and cancel reception, and just get registered. My mum has been extremely disinterested, and has not asked once how anything is going. I’ve gone dress shopping alone with my partner. If I bring it up, my mum says she’s too busy and says that having a wedding is a waste and that it is affecting her retirement.
i feel quite stressed cos I feel no one cares or is happy for me.
My question is: I feel hurt and isolated I suppose, and I am struggling with how to include our parents on our wedding day? How would I make sure these arguments dont surface on the day? Should I exclude them? I just want to be happy on my wedding day, and I want anyone present at our wedding to be happy for us as a couple as well.
N.B. My parents approve of my fiance, they just dont think i deserve a nice wedding.

Answer by seamstress
The solution to your problem is simple.
Make your own wedding plans just the way you want them and can afford them. Send invitations to those you want to invite.
Keep all of your wedding plans from all of them. Do not share anything with them. If they ask, just have a standard answer “You will see on our wedding day”. If they are not planning on attending, then tell them you will share photo so they can see after the wedding is over.
Understand that by going to them and expecting them to be happy or give good advise, financial or otherwise, you are opening yourself up for disappointment and the rejection you feel. Do not do that to yourself. This is a happy time for you and by communicating with them, they are raining on your parade, because you let them. Stop that. Keep your plans totally private so they cannot pick apart what you are doing. That is the ONLY way you can protect yourself from their negativity.
Now, get going, you have a lovely wedding to plan.
