The Dissadvantages of Using CSI’s Forums…..

Below is an example of a posting on the CSC Interactive Online Forums.  I’ve gone on about how these forums provide useful information, but it does have its downsides.

Am I reading this correctly ?

Yearly contribution amount determined by an acturay to ensure sufficient $ in plan on the other hand a limit of 2,444 imposed per year.

Aim = provide 2% of pre retirement income,

times # years served

So I have 20 years left to work 2,444 x 20 = 48,880

Actuary calcultes pre retirement income = 150,000py 150,000 x 2% = 3,000 times 30 yrs ( I have been working 10 years already) = 90,000 gov.

says I’m allowed 48,880 contributions

Actuary says I need 90,000

What happens now ?


I didn’t change any of the formatting, so the spacing is as is.  Needless to say, people tend to make questions a lot harder then they really are.  As you may already know I am no grammar/spelling guru here, so I’m not referring to that.  But complete sentences and some basic background referencing may help others decipher your gibberish code.
