re: Retirement Fund Manager
Posted by 2pumpchump on 5/6/14 at 12:37 pm to roguetiger15
Thanks for the insight. As a single 29 yo with no kids, I'm thinking I'm in a position to take on a bit more risk. I currently put in 10% of gross pay (not including employer match) and will likely increase that soon. Total 401K is approaching the $100k mark, so the annual expense would only be $350 to have Fidelity manage it. Seems pretty inexpensive with the possibility of a big upside.

Retirement Fund Manager
Posted by 2pumpchump on 5/5/14 at 5:24 pm
My company uses Fidelity as our 401k provider and they offer what appears to be pretty good rates to manage your 401k allocation (Financial Engines). Right now I have my 401k in a target date fund, but I'm leaning toward using FE since the fees are so low. The management fee is 0.45% per year for the first $100,000.00 in your account and the percent continues to decrease after that.
I figure the ROI using FE would likely be better than the target date fund even with the management fee.
Any thoughts from the MB gurus?

re: Delta board signs off on deal to buy Trainer refinery

Over the past several years, Delta has been a first mover which has allowed them to be in a position where they can take risks. The other legacy carriers have their hands full with mergers and/or bankruptcy. At the end of the day if they lose a couple hundred million, its not a ton of money. The gain could be substantial if you lower your overall fuel costs by a few cents.

This is the approach I'm taking. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't something I was missing.
Best approach to shop mortgages
Posted by 2pumpchump on 4/2/12 at 6:37 pm
I just went under contract to purchase my first property - a condo. I have great credit, and I want to be sure I get the lowest interest rate. Is there a good way to ensure you get the best deal?

your thoughts/views on the program and if it benefited starting your career?
I enrolled in the CIA program just for the internship and went the Big 4 route. I personally think starting your career in the Big 4 is incredibly valuable. I would ask where you plan to live/work. I interned and live in Atlanta, so there are tons of job opportunities to transition into. If you plan to stay anywhere in LA, your options will be limited. After 2 years at Pdub, I joined a large company's IA department and after a couple more years I transitioned into a Finance position.
Definitely focus on your CPA first. CIA does nothing for you outside of internal audit.
re: Game day sign ideas?

Is anyone going to make a sign for the game. I've never done Gameday, but this may be my first go at making a sign.
