I tried explaining this at my last shop steward meeting when a couple knuckleheads wanted to put ANOTHER .20 in one of our pensions. I was told that most members weren't as savvy with their money as me
and that I needed to think of the group as a whole.....that's more than Poppycock! The meeting ended with me suggesting that people were either ignorant or lazy if they didn't at least look into what their money is NOT doing for them.
The bad, .20 went to the pension
The good, discussions have started about a financial course for 2nd year apprentices explaining the three pensions and other ways of investing.
I don't say much in this thread but I'm reading and rereading it constantly....thank you.
