Retirement Planning for California Teachers
California teachers face unique retirement decisions involving CalSTRS pensions, 403(b) accounts, and sometimes 457 plans.
Understanding how these pieces work together is key to building a reliable retirement income plan.
I work with teachers in Turlock, Modesto, Merced, and throughout California’s Central Valley to help them think through these important financial decisions.
Common Retirement Questions for Teachers
• How does my
CalSTRS Pension work?
• Should I contribute to a
403(b)?
• What is the difference between a
403(b) and 457 plan?
• How can I turn my pension and savings into a
second retirement paycheck?
• How should my investments change as I approach retirement?
