Just ask TW. I'm the best damn shiny shoe sales whore this side of the mississippi. I still just prefer calling myself a Financial Consultant though. While I am full service, I specialize in retirement planning.

Are shiny shoes a good investment strategy for retirement?

I'm kinda pissed right now about retirement. My old company is trying to screw me for about 15k from my 401k. This is after I saved them about 8 million dollars. Also, the accounting lady where I"m at now is in her 80s and it took all my efforts just to get direct deposit. When I told her I wanted 15% pre-tax money to go into my IRA, she told me "forget it".

I swear if we brought back those old adding machines with the handle you've got to pull back, she'd do cartwheels. She had a heart attack when I upgraded her office 97 to office 2003. I can't wait to upgrade her to office 2007.

doesn't compute. 401K's don't allow for any subjectivity. Either you have $15K or you don't. Is it a vesting policy you are having an issue with? Sometimes those can be overly and neeedlessly complex.

separate issue - 15% pre-tax into your IRA? In addition to your 401K?
