Green Retirement

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, in presenting the City’s $6.6 billion budget for the coming year, announced an additional 1,600 San Francisco City employee layoffs.  This is in addition to the San Francisco City layoffs that have already occurred.

Since before the first San Francisco City layoffs were announced late last year, I attempted to help the City of San Francisco avoid layoffs, by offering the free use of Green Retirement to identify which of the City’s employees were in a position to retire.   Employees should be attending retirement parties instead of pink slip parties.

I contacted Mayor Gavin Newsom’s office, David Chiu, the SEIU, San Francisco Unified School District, in a futile effort at preventing layoffs.  It is obvious that the politicians and bureaucrats are not interested in stopping layoffs, that the loss of jobs is being used, by various interest groups to enhance their own power.  And it is obvious, that I am not going to be successful, in sparing  City employees from being laid off.

Therefore, I suggest that all San Francisco city employees that have been laid off, or that are facing layoffs visit the Green Retirement website and try the free retirement calculator.  Your layoff may be a blessing in disguise.  After trying the free retirement calculator, you may discover that you are in a position to retire, and can stop worrying about finding another job.

Green Retirement enables individuals to retire with much less savings than is possible with traditional retirement planning.  Traditional retirement planning calculates how much savings you need for retirement based on your salary.   A calculation that over-estimates your retirement savings needs, is completely inaccurate, and forces you into wage slavery.  The Green Retirement formula calculates how much savings you need for retirement based on how much you will spend in retirement.  It is a far more accurate formula and method, which gives you control over your retirement savings needs, and enables you to retire with much less savings.

So, whether you are a laid off San Francisco City employee or not, try the free retirement calculator and find out if you can retire.  When I spoke with Supervisor David Chiu’s office a few months back, and my free offer of help was rejected, I warned that more layoffs would be inevitable.  Good Luck to All
