Greetings,
I am a new member to this forum and I am eager to learn as much as I can. I am a male, 31 year old teacher residing in TX. Lately, I started thinking about retirement and I feel like I need to open up a 403b. However, my district offers a bunch of providers and I do not know which one to choose. I don't even know what I should be looking for when picking a provider. Could someone please advise on which company I should choose and why? I've been working for 6 years and I am planning to retire by 60. I have pasted the names of all the companies below.
ACTIVE - HISD 403(b) and 457(b) Providers - as of 1/27/2015
Provider Phone Number
Provider Websites:
Annuity Contracts
Non-Annuity Contracts
403(b) Contract Provider
Roth 403(b) Contributions
