Here in Florida the public employees are up in arms because they are being required to put 3% into their pension funds - for the first time in over 40 years apparently. This money is their money going into their pension funds and they are having a fit that they are having to put 3% of their own money in their own funds.<br /><br /><br />You know how much my husband and I, as self-employed, private sector, business owners, put in our retirement accounts? That's right, 100%. Which is why our retirement accounts are pathetically anemic. Trying to put money away while raising four kids is quite a challenge.<br /><br />Also, you know how much we pay towards our health insurance? That's right, 100%. And it's a major medical policy with a $10,000 deductible. <br /><br />I'm fed up with the whining public employees do about their benefits. They have no clue how the private sector lives and struggles to manage our ever-rising costs.Anne Galivanhttp://homeschooling911.com/blog/noreply@blogger.com
