What should I do? I used to work as a primary school teacher, but I couldn’t earn enough money there. So now I work as a private tutor. I help kids get ready for elementary and middle school. I make good money.
But my parents don’t understand why I left a government job with benefits and a future pension. I tell them it’s better to earn more now and save money for the future, but they still think I should go back to school work.
They say I will spend all my savings anyway, and that without a pension I won’t have money when I’m old.
What should I do?

    Be sure you don't become a consumer. Open a brokerage account and invest money systematically and let compounding do the work. Yes you will have ups... and downs, but in the long run you will win. Of course you need to have savings as well, but investing for your future self is the way to go. Your parents nor I were taught that in school...that is why they have that mindset. This just doesn't work in todays world. Just make sure you have enough money for the down times in a HYSA or Treasury bonds. Map out your future now...and remember let compounding do the work overtime.

  • You can still open a pension account with any of the pension managers, walk up to any of their offices and chat with their officers. Sure you can have... both.  more

  • Well if you just want to be comfortable for the rest of your life, stay with the teachers gig and get burned out like many others in that field, then... you will have a pension which may not cover your developed lifestyle.

    You could also make more money freelancing as a "ME.INC" trainer and consistently build a network that will sustain your earning potential throughout the course of your business building speaker career.

    Those titles are Trainer, Teacher, Coach & Speaker which command attractive fees but is a learning process. You Must Think Big, Not Safe.

    But that ball is in your court. Everything takes training and action. You don’t really need motivation because one can motivate an idiot and all they would have is a motivated idiot. Training is key and faith in your abilities as a sharer of ideas.

    Expand on what you know already and learn, not to teach curriculum, but to train others in leadership success. It’s another world but it also helps those who want to train today’s youth.

    I suggest John C Maxwell Leadership Training which is where I decided to connect

  • Retiring is a luxury unless you have a pension, many or at least one dedicated offspring, or are high earning. It makes no sense to plan your work... around retirement when you need more money now. If you cannot retire, so be it. However, don't bank on using a pension when you have outstanding debts and other desires that will make you resent the little comfort you'll have when you are old.  more

  • Igazuk van. Mivel ez kétely benned, menj vissza dolgozni. Masodallasban korrepetálj.

  • I started out making a low salary, but now I'm looking at making over $150k+ for 20 years of teaching and a doctoral degree. When I retire I will... get my SS and my Teacher Retirement plus 401K . My home and cars are paid for so make the choice of what you think will work best for you now and in the future. Can you make a schedule that will allow you to work both???? After school tutoring maybe???  more

  • Can you do both?—that’s what I would do if it’s an option. Continue teaching and do tutoring on the side as a side hustle.
    Personally, I like to... maximize my income now and save and invest aggressively so I can retire early. Government positions also offer great health insurance. Ultimately, it all depends on your goals and your capacity to handle two jobs. more

  • Follow your mind and create an insurance scheme or fund for the future. You don't have to do a job with less rewards for a pension.

  • Go on with your job, professionals don't work for pension, but the perk. Your future is with you now, you can create it and mould it to your test.... After all chasing pension is another job after job more
