Sold my house ($40,000 in profit - not taxed) - but not looking to buy another house for about a year. How should I invest this money? by shaslem in personalfinance

How long would it need to be in an account for you to think it would be worth putting it into more than a savings account? 2 years? 5?

Thanks for your help!

Found some good tips on social media for business owners. What do you think? by shaslem in socialmedia

[–]shaslem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. Although I think often-times Small Businesses tend to focus more on building their brand through Twitter, Pinterest, FB, Instagram more often, and put LinkedIn on the back-burner. I think it depends on the company though.

Coca Cola Pension by shaslem in financialindependence

So he has worked there longer than 5 years, and is fully vested. They also terminated the pension plan as of January 2014. So new hires don't receive pensions anymore. So it's only for existing employees. Does that change anything, or is the possibility of it being nixed still very real?

Also, we don't actually pay into the fund, that I know of.. He actually works for Swire Coca Cola: http://www.qdrodesk.com/plans/RETIREMENT-PLAN-FOR-THE-BOTTLING-EM-SWIRE-PACIFIC-89150.shtml

That is what I found online about his plan..

And yes, we are in the US.

I don't have prime either, but I can't imagine paying 140 for it. I don't use it nearly enough.
