Retirement is the point where a person stops employment completely (or decides to leave the labor force if he or she is unemployed). A person may also semi-retire by reducing work hours. Many people choose to retire when they are eligible for private or public pension benefits, although some are forced to retire when physical conditions don't allow the person to work any more (by illness or accident). In most countries, the idea of retirement is of recent origin, being introduced during the 19th and 20th centuries. Previously, low life expectancy and the absence of pension arrangements meant that most workers continued to work until death. Germany was the first country to introduce retirement in the 1880s. Nowadays most developed countries have systems to provide pensions on retirement in old age, which may be sponsored by employers and/or the state. In many poorer countries, support for the old is still mainly provided through the family. Today, retirement with a pension is considered a right of the worker in many societies, and hard ideological, social, cultural and political battles have been fought over whether this is a right. In many western countries this right is mentioned in national constitutions. From Wikipedia under the

Investment MOT Hargreaves Lansdown From Google News Search: "Retirement" What is the best retirement option for someone that wants to save on his own? Q. I am a foster parent and I get paid by my agency through a per diem. That means the money I get paid is tax free. And since I don't have a full time job, I don't have a retirement plan. I want to start saving for the future. Can any one help? Asked by jagorion - Mon Jul 16 23:26:31 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Although you don't have a retirement plan through your employer, you still have good options. If you have a spouse that does have a retirement plan at work, you can probably contribute to what is called a "spousal IRA." You get the right to invest through your spouse's earned income. Like any other IRA, there are two types, the Roth and the Traditional. Unless your spouse makes a whole lot of money, I'd suggest the Roth. Just mention that when you open your account. You have to file your taxes jointly and make less than $156k (in 2007), but you can contribute up to $4000 (in 2007). If that situation doesn't apply to you then you might be able to contribute to an IRA yourself using the money you earn as a foster parent.

My mom retires Friday after 33 years at her job as a secretary.My nephew's 5th birthday is on the same day. I want to throw them a small, family only party. I want to have my sister, her husband, my niece (age 6), my father and boyfriend attend. I plan on having the party at my parent's house (my apartment is too small) on Friday evening. I want it to be more elegant for my mom but also fun for my nephew. I would like to serve appetizers and cook a special dinner something kid friendly yet elegant (chicken parmesan or salisbury steak). Maybe separate cakes (vanilla for mom, chocolate for nephew), cheap champagne to toast the retirement and sparkling cider to toast the birthday, etc...(this is where you fill in your ideas on things) Asked by Allison B - Tue Aug 28 11:03:38 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A.

Q. I am 24 years old and plan on retiring when I am 65 years old. Questions: - Do I go to my bank or somewhere else to get started? Any suggestions? - How do I know how much to put in each month? - Once I start an account, is it a required bill, what if I have an emergency and can't afford to put in that month? - What about the economy, you hear about people losing everything in their retirement accounts right now, how do I protect myself from that happening?
