Income Inequality

[doc_loliday]

I've considered becoming a teacher at community college. With a masters, you can make close to six figures, no research to do, with summer and holidays off, and you only have to teach a few classes a day, and a couple of office hours each week, with the best benefits ever. God, what a great gig.

Just wait until the inevitable free community college, so many resources will pour in.

Who wouldn't want a government job? My God, all the perks & no boss! Marxist nirvana.

Pfft, there is always a boss.

Dude, you couldn't hold a job when there was a boss. Because you're on this forum, I'm behind you, but thank god you got government work.

This isn't government work... this is a corporate environment. I have a pension because I set one up with my credit union.

I got along well with people who were my boss, except one... the rest of the reasons I was let go was because it was the end end of the contract, or I was hired as seasonal. I did 20 years of contract work, and probably only a few years of full-time work. This is the first gig that I actually have a say in what goes on...

The last people that had my job were incompetent... I look like a god damned godsend compared to them.

Set up a withdraw from your account as you get paid for a specific amount ($500 a month for me) and put it into a pension system. My credit union is part of the telephone worker's union, so I get under their pension system. If I do this for 15/20 years, I'll have a nice nest egg... (and that is if I don't increase it as my pay increases too) I also am working off of setting up a retirement fund as well.

It's just going to take time as they say.

Why would you do that instead of save your own money yourself? I'm not familiar with this.

Are you confusing pension with IRA?

Dude, don't voluntarily send money to a pension. Just get an IRA.

Even using the ridiculously downward manipulated CPI concoction shows the median household has lost ground. While median income has remained stagnant since 2000, the CPI is up 44%. Using honest inflation numbers would likely double that figure. Stagnant incomes with living costs 40% to 80% higher doesn’t exactly match the rhetoric of a strong economy being propagandized by the Deep State and their fake news media outlets.
