Dear wife's beloved aunt passed away and she inherited a small portion of the aunt's retirement TSA (tax sheltered annuity), which I understand is similar to a 403(b).

The other is not a company and is generally doing it to supplement their primary income, or they could be retired or whatever.

I feel as though most investors are recycling their income into principal and expenses, or building a reserve for that "Ugh oh" moment, with the idea of retirement in the forefront.

These might be cash funds or retirement funds.

The big question that I have battled with for years: should I get life cover and an retirement annuity?

My husband just retired from his 9-5 at age 43 and will never work a traditional job again.Is it for everyone?

I'm a new investor and plan on retiring from the military in the next two years.

My concerns are now she will not have a retirement through her employer which puts a lot of responsibility on me to make sure real estate works out and we can build enough for retirement. 

From a time perspective they have 20 years to go until they could retire, I retired the day I started doing a job, that most would wait until after retirement to do.To me real estate has proven to be the ultimate form of job security, I cannot be downsized, I dont have to hang around 10 years to get a raise, I am not a pawn on the board of someone elses pocket book.

I have about 20K in retirement, but it's not liquid.
