Addressing the Retirement Income
Gap for Teachers

Elevating Your Ballet Journey

Closing the Retirement Money Gap

Teachers should talk to money experts to make sure they have enough for retirement, even if their pension might not cover everything.

Understanding how much pension money might be missing and looking into other options like 403(b) annuities is really important for a safe retirement.

Getting Ready for Pension Changes

As states adjust pension programs to address deficits, teachers nearing retirement must stay informed about potential changes that could affect their benefits.


For example, if a state decides to increase the retirement age or reduce the pension payout, it could impact teachers' financial plans by as much as 15%.

Being ready to understand and adapt to changes in pension plans helps teachers get ready for retirement and ensures they can make necessary adjustments to their savings or retirement timelines.
