Your Retirement Finances Are “Golden” With Retirement-4-U’s New 20-Year Plan
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 20, 2004
Retirement-4-U, a retirement planning and consulting firm, is happy to announce its new 20-Year Retirement Plan for those planning an early retirement, those on the verge of retiring, or those lucky folks who have just recently retired.
Retirement-4-U already offers plans such as the Retirement Validation Plan, Retirement Modification Plan, a 10-Year Retirement Plan, and a 30-Year Retirement Plan. This new 20-Year Plan fills in the gap between the 10 and 30 year plans. It is designed to predict your financial circumstances over the next 20 years, so that you may enjoy your golden years with peace of mind.
This 20-Year Retirement Plan includes a 20 Year Income Forecast accounting for inflation, withdrawals from interest, Social Security income, 401k, pension, income taxes and variable expenses. The plan also includes suggestions for adjusting or maintaining expenses to best realize your retirement goals and unlimited phone and email support throughout the retirement planning process. Retirement-4-U can map out your financial future so you can get a good idea of how to spend your retirement years.
Retirement-4-U combines personal attention with modern technology, getting to know you through a series of question worksheets sent to you for a period of a few weeks. These worksheets will ask you about your income and assets, your investments, your expenses, and your personal retirement goals.
You can fill out the information worksheets at your own rate, each usually taking about 3 hours. After Retirement-4-U has learned about who you are, what your financial situation is, and what you want for your retirement future, then comes the benefit of their own personally developed system for retirement analysis.
This analysis combines a personalized approach with modern technology, including Retirement-4-UÂs own specialized computer software designed to crunch the big numbers, taking into account inflation, multiple employment benefits, pensions, social security and more. Only a combination of a powerful computer program and personal attention given to your own situation and goals can give you a strong, detailed financial plan for the next 20 years of your life.
Retirement-4-U was founded in 2001, born out of the founderÂs frustration with the state of existing retirement analysis for early retirement planning. With over 80 years of combined financial planning experience, along with over 50 years combined experience in software development, the people at Retirement-4-U are experts at helping you plan your financial future.

Do You Know which Pension Plan is Right for You?
Do You Know which Pension Plan is Right for You?
It is a fact that people are living longer and healthier lives. Planning for your future post-employment, therefore, is of utmost importance. Indeed, according to research, you can spend as much as a third of your life in retirement. Whilst this may seem appealing, it is vital that you understand how to financially support yourself in lieu of a regular income.
Most people who have contributed regularly to their national insurance payments throughout their working lives will receive a state pension. However, since this currently only amounts to £4,953 per year, you would be hard pressed to survive on this alone. What, then, can you do to make sure you have enough money to retire with?
One of the best ways, say the experts, is to join a pension plan. Not only will you be working towards ensuring you have a comfortable retirement, but having a pension is one of the most tax efficient ways of saving cash for the future. But, with so many different schemes around, how do you know which the best option for you is?
Generally speaking, there are two types of pension plan you can contribute to: an individual pension, and a company pension. Within these, there are then a number of sub-categories.
An individual or private pension is basically one that you set up independently of any employer or third person. It can be an effective option, since you can hold onto it and keep paying into it, regardless of your employment status. If you opt for this type of scheme, you must then decide whether to take out a personal, stakeholder or self-invested pension. There is a vast amount of information regarding these, which is available both through the internet and also from different financial institutions.
A company pension, on the other hand, is often felt to be more desirable as there are a number of related benefits and advantages to be had. For example, a money purchase plan will be set up by your employer and sees both them and you contribute monthly payments. These are then invested into a range of different assets.
This type of pension plan also offers the user a huge amount of flexibility, such as being able to make one-off payments, or to increase or decrease your monthly input without being penalised. It is also possible to transfer the pension to another company if you switch employers. Before you do this however, it is advisable to consult with a financial advisor.
Final salary pension schemes are also a popular choice, and can offer the retiree many benefits. Based on the amount of money contributed to the plan, as well as how long you worked with the company, you are guaranteed to receive a percentage of your final salary for the duration of your retirement.
So, if you want to ensure the financial well being of your retirement, it definitely pays to find yourself a pension plan. Just remember to do your homework and find one that suits your individual circumstances.

Anthem Waives Contract Clause That Hindered State Health Insurance Plan
A state-run health insurance program may have an easier time contracting with hospitals after the state’s largest insurer agreed to waive a clause in its own contracts.
Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Connecticut has a “most favored nation” clause in its contracts with medical providers that requires hospitals to offer Anthem the same or better discounts offered to other insurers. Anthem’s arrangement has made it difficult for the state-subsidized Charter Oak health plan program to secure contracts with hospitals.
Last month, Attorney General Richard Blumenthal asked Anthem to exempt Charter Oak, a program for uninsured adults that serves about 13,000. Anthem waived the clause on Wednesday, said Anthem spokeswoman Sarah Yeager.
“This agreement enables hospitals to freely accept Charter Oak without fear of financial repercussions from Anthem for breach of contract,” Blumenthal said Thursday.
Yeager said Anthem never intended to have hospitals pay Anthem at Charter Oak’s reimbursement rates.
“Anthem supports efforts and initiatives that expand health coverage to Connecticut’s uninsured and underinsured populations,” Yeager said.
In 2008, the state started offering the Charter Oak health plan to provide coverage to uninsured adults between 19 and 64. The state contracted with three private insurance plans — Aetna Better Health, AmeriChoice by United HealthCare and Community Health Network — to manage networks of doctors and hospitals for the Charter Oak plan. In December, 17 of 32 hospitals in Connecticut had agreements with Charter Oak insurers — none in Windham or Middlesex counties.
Blumenthal has an ongoing investigation into Anthem’s most-favored-nation clauses, which he said in December undermined competition and deterred hospital enrollment in Charter Oak.
“I am pleased that Anthem has recognized the need to carve out Charter Oak from this clause, but have continued concerns about the potential anti-competitive impact on the health insurance market,” Blumenthal said. “I commend the company for its continued cooperation in this important ongoing antitrust investigation.”
In the summer of 2008, the state started offering Charter Oak as a state-subsidized health plan to provide coverage to uninsured adults between 19 and 64. The state contracted with three private insurance plans — Aetna Better Health, AmeriChoice by United HealthCare and Community Health Network — to manage networks of doctors and hospitals for the Charter Oak plan.
Charter Oak, as any government-subsidized program such as Medicaid and Medicare, typically pays less to hospitals than commercial insurers. The most-favored-nation clause would require a hospital to offer Anthem rates as low as those offered to Charter Oak. Hospitals can’t afford to lose revenue from treating customers who have Anthem, which insures 1.5 million in Connecticut, by dropping the insurer to accept Charter Oak patients.
As of last month, hospitals that don’t participate in the Charter Oak plan included Bristol, Danbury, Day Kimball in Putnam, Griffin in Derby, Johnson Memorial in Stafford Springs, Lawrence & Memorial in New London, Middlesex, Midstate in Meriden, Milford, Norwalk, St. Francis, St. Vincent’s, Stamford, Waterbury and Windham.
