Can Sallie Mae dip into my Roth IRA, investments, savings, cd’s to pay off a student loan?
Scarlett asked:
I’m forced to go overseas to earn my living because I can’t find a job here. I owe 40k in student loans and I can’t pay for them, nor do I want to because the way I see it, this country either owes me a job or an education so I’m taking the education and going where I’m appreciated. Anyway, if I put some of my future hard earned money into a Roth over here and other investments, can Sallie Mae touch any of it to pay for the student loan. On paper, I’m unemployed so I’ve been going to the Sallie Mae website every 6 months to tell them I’m unemployed. That seems to fine fine with the SOB’S because they just keep tacking on interest to the principal, bloodsucking basta-rds! So can they touch any of my money in investments, or should I consider international investments instead? Thanks ahead of time for your answer!
Sure our country is so great that it’s spending 250 million dollars in Iraq. If it can afford that, it can afford to send this whole nation to college for free! France does it and so does Sweden! I’m over educated and can’t get a job here! To the person said ‘this company owes you nothing” I seriously don’t think you knew the pun you created, but this country is a company and we know how great this “company” is to it’s ‘workers’. That’s why all the teachers in California went on strike Friday and auto companies made workers take a pay cut, suspension of pension benefits and pulled their healthcare. Yeah, this is a wonderful country because it really takes care of it’s citizens. I am a human being on planet earth. Being an American is an embarrassment rather than a badge of honor these days. If you don’t like what I’m saying, just keep reading your fairy tales while you stand in the soup line in a few years.
Actually, I meant 250 million dollars A DAY IN IRAQ!!!!!

I am in my early 40’s and I just paid off my mortgage. I have about $130,000 in my retirement account through work, another $30,000 in a Roth IRA, and an additional $15,000 in savings/investments. I make $70,000/year, have no credit card debt, and no car payment. Any advice on what to do with my money now?

How do individual investors make investment decisions in practice rather than in theory?
lovebug_707 asked:
How do they manage their funds/savings/ investments in light of current stock markets? What do efficient frontier and optimal portfolios have to do with this assuming I can invest directly in the stock market and do not need any financial intermediaries like brokerage houses.

Do you support Obama’s plan to tax profits from 401K savings and investments?.I support Obama’s plan because
Wetfish asked:
it is only fair that more wealthy Americans share the wealth of this nation with less fortunate Americans like people who live in the inner cities and the rural poors. People who have 401K are people who have jobs and make more than enough money to put into their saving plans,and then they profit even more by investing their saved money.It is unfair that those who have 401K making even more money from the amounts they already have.By taxing the profit from 401K plans,Obama can use that tax money to help less fortunate Americans who are just getting by.

How much needed to retire down the road?
BK asked:
I am currently 30, single with about 100K in savings/investments, no debt, no other assets. I currently make around 100k+/year with bonus, but I detest my job and would much rather start a modest business or switch to a career that would allow me more spare time. How much do you think I should have saved up to be on track to retire somewhat comfortably down the road?
