Minimum Balance Plan
#271
You're not understanding that most pilots hired in the last 15 years have no interest in "guaranteed returns," pensions, deferring taxes, or some third party entity managing our money. We have never seen this type of thing work out well.
Most of us expect (hope) to be in roughly the same tax bracket in retirement as we are now. We also are fairly certain tax rates will actually be higher by the time we retire. That's why we want to pay taxes now.

We are all for it if it's optional, just like we are all for world peace without war. It won't be optional. Having a MCBCP if you choose to overfund is a good ting. That's not flushing cash down the toilet, that's reallocating for efficiency and tax free capital growth.

You are already commandeering mine on behalf of the U.S. government. Congratulations by the way, and if you got 20% DC you'd have more. That doesn't happen without the MBCBP because you are effectively just asking for more wages.

Why are you opposed to it then? It's overages of a few thousand per year right?
Your hobby has nothing to do with my retirement.
You can preach all you want. I was in real-estate and got out (except for a few REITs) because I didn't want the exposure and my time was more valuable to me. I hope everyone takes your and trips advice, just do it with your own earnings. You are costing us all capital appreciation and tax efficiency. I'm not interested in your situation. I'm interested in the PWA and the tax efficiency that every pilot who doesn't choose to take your advice deserves.

I'm not sure what exposure or workload you were concerned about that drove you out of real estate. If you ask for advice vs making assumptions you would be surprised to learn how little time is spent on a properly structured portfolio. Landlording single family value add is for people with more time than money, but that is the assumption people make when they don't know the options. Owning apartments, self storage, NNN or pooling funds to be a hard money lender are what people with pilot sized income/assets do.

yes, I would have more with a higher DC percentage. There’s no reason that needs to come with a mandatory MBCBP except you saying so.
#277
Your stupid notion that overages aren't retirement money needs to be put to bed. Without a tax sheltered place to grow retirement funds there's no argument for more DC.
#278
Go take your excess DC and buy Municipal bonds since you're all about chasing tax shelters
