Teacher retirement plans unfair and corrupt

Clark has talked in the past about the mistreatment of school teachers. Teachers are usually offered very inferior retirement plans. And now there is a criminal element involved. Annuity salespeople are taking a massive chunk of teachers’ retirement savings and the teacher unions are letting it happen. Clark doesn’t understand why legislators allow teachers to have an inferior retirement plan to begin with. Now, like bees to honey, many offers available to teachers are corrupt, overpriced and unfair. Unfortunately, it’s up to teachers to provide for their own retirements. Teachers should go to tiaa-cref.org and set up a plan there. If you have your plan with another organization, transfer it to TIAA-CREF immediately. It’s safe and fair.
