Teacher Talk
Dan and Scott are back for a repeat visit and they have big news about a new feature they have added to their website. Listen to find out more.
403bwise is on a mission to improve options for teacher retirement plans and to fix a broken system. In the spirit of "sunshine is the best disinfectant," they have added new data sets to their website to allow teachers to both find "good vendors" while also evaluating school district plans. They also discuss why investment costs are so important and share their favorite investing option for retirement accounts. Enjoy!

Quotes:
“Every school district should have their teachers first and foremost in their mind and go out and offer good choices. Use your power. It should be a privilege for these salespeople, these financial companies to have access to your most important assets.” -Dan
“You can’t really control much when it comes to investing in the stock market. There is very little you can control. But there are two things you can control. One is how much you pay in fees. Two is how you will react when the markets go down. If you can control those two factors, you will do better than most people around you, including professionals.”-Scott

Tim's saving habits started at seven when a neighbor with a broken hip gave him a dog walking job. Her recovery, which took almost a year, resulted in Tim getting to know the bank tellers quite well (and accumulating a savings account balance of over $300!). His recent entrepreneurial adventures have included driving a shredding truck, analyzing executive compensation packages for Fortune 500 companies and helping families make better college financing decisions. After volunteering in 2010 to create and teach a personal finance program at Eastside College Prep in East Palo Alto, Tim saw firsthand the impact of an engaging and activity-based curriculum, which inspired him to start a new non-profit, Next Gen Personal Finance.
