I need the help of smart people srsly

I gotta write this paper and I am stumped as to where to even begin seeing as this has be 5-7 pages.

Some suggest that we as a nation are entering a “new era of retirement.” Explain what is meant by this new era.

What is the Pension Protection Act of 2006? What protections does it provide for workers? And, where does it fall short?

Discuss the pros and cons of the 401k as a retirement plan and discuss why it has become a widely used plan by employers.

Considering the trends and forecasts for retirement, what are the implications for policies like Social Security?

Well everyone is pretty much screwed. The only hope is investing in being a slum lord because poor people always need a place to stay.

You're only screwed if you're stupid.

How long do you have absolution? I'm too tired to answer all this right now, but would be willing to do it tomorrow some time if you have time.

Who

Write a story about a little hamster living in an igloo somewhere around the north pole, the hamster has two siblings, a brother and a sister, who he takes care of, since his parents never came back during a snowstorm.

They are now faced with the hardships of everyday life, plus this is the year 3120 and crazy fundamentalist super-vegans have taken over the world. Humanity is rapidly dying off due to the vegans outlawing food produced from living objects (including plants). So now the hamster and his two siblings who have previously been living off the scraps of humans that have settled at the north pole (the rest of the world is too hot to live in) will have to find another source of nourishment.

you'll get an A+ for sure

Google this all. I for one, have enough faith that even with all the baby boomers retiring, Social Security will still manage to stay a float (goddamn you LBJ for making it a general fund!) or so I pray.

Oh I think it was theone#s or something.

It happened at least a year ago, it was one of the funniest things ever. I remember him coming to the aim chat whining that he might lose scholarships if he got plagiarism on his record or something lol.

The new age of retirement begins in wiping out the Florida everglades so when you hit sixty, you are transported there and have to live out the rest of your days in a retirement home bitching about the humidity and convinced that the nurses are trying to kill you...which is ridiculous because that's the doctor's job.

i think that saving for retirement should be taught in schools in the hopes that people will start doing so in their 20s so they don't have to wait until they're like 50 and realize they're screwed.

Financial Planning and Money Skills should be core courses, as well as business etiquette. Especially for science majors.

i'm pretty ambivalent about saving for retirement. i mean when i become a teacher i will be eligible for a pension but i'm pretty apprehensive about pensions anyways. there's something about trusting someone else (especially my employer who's looking to get me to do the most for the least amount of money possible) with 20-40 years worth of savings and expecting them to dole them out to me as I get older that seems so... too good to be true? wishful thinking? whatever it is, i'll just get my hyperintelligent children to become moderately to incredibly successful and leech off them because that is the cycle of life my friends

I don't plan on living past say, 50.

Irreunregardlesslessly, I'm hopefully going for a career in media where I should make a reasonable amount, also to be supplemented by the whole stand-up thing (which will also help springboard me to a decentish writing job. I also plan on marrying someone who's relatively good at organising future plans like pensions etc. because I, for one, completely suck at anything that isn't to do with the "here and now".
