State and Gov workers like myself almost lost our retirement today if the fed's had'nt bailed out AIG, they insure Ky's retirement. Looks like I can not count on the state for my retirement, so what are some good retirement investments, you have mentioned some, any other ideas? I am getting to the age that retirement age is drawing closer and need to be prepared. Thought that is why I took a State job for was for the retirement and benifits, but now what??????????????????????????????????????????
