The company pension plan is dead and the retirement plans that were to replace them, namely IRAs and 401(k) plans, are ailing.

"When you're struggling to put food on the table and feed a couple of kids, you're not in a position to plan for your future," says Joycelyn Ward, 65, of Juneau, Alaska, who plans to keep working for at least an additional 10 years out of financial necessity. "I wasn't able to start setting aside anything for retirement until I was in my 50s." .
Your Comments : Natives misuse $40m: Ganilau
So we bank on our income from working the tourism industry to survive. Ranjit Singh of Nadi (61 days and 14 hours ago) The reporting maybe misquoting Ratu Ganilau. I pay $180.00 a year after a downpayment of $2,000.00. I have no idea how much of that money is coming the landonwner after NLTB takes out their share. It can be hard to swallow that kind of figure tossed around; in the millions especially when you take into account not only the NLTB cut but also that many tenants do not pay their rents. I think to solve the problem across the board we have to be honest in our all parties. The tenants, the NLTB, the chiefs. My personal view is to let me pay direct to my landowner's house. Truth & Freedom of New Zealand (61 days and 14 hours ago) The 40m sounds very big indeed but when the money goes around the mataqali it is not really much left.

Sundance: Chris Pine And Alan Rickman Talk Bottle Shock
Due to technical difficulties, the press was asked to wait outside the conference room (which was actually a tent set up just outside the Yarrow hotel) while they got things fixed. Leanne and I got situated near the door and this afforded us the opportunity to see the various cast members of the film walk right by us.
Id like to pretend as though I was unfazed by the sight of actors like Alan Rickman, Eliza Dushku, Freddie Rodriguez, Chris Pine or Bill Pullman as they walked by me but lets face it: I may wear a press badge on the outside, but on the inside I was squeeing like a dorky fangirl. Rachael Tayler, who is also in the film was present as well. You might remember her from her role as the hot blonde Aussie tech-geek in Transformers.
We were eventually let into the tent, which was surprisingly warm and the conference got started fairly quickly.
