Retirement Mistakes NC Public Employees Should Avoid
We’ve seen too many NC teachers, firefighters, and public workers make the same mistakes—mistakes that threaten their retirement.
—
Mistake #1: Counting Only on Pensions
TSERS doesn’t cover 100% of your income.
Better Way: Build supplemental income with liquidity.
—
Mistake #2: Ignoring Hidden Fees
403(b) and 457 plans often carry hidden costs.
Better Way: Audit your plan and add fee-free reserves.
—
Mistake #3: No Liquidity
Emergencies mean borrowing at high interest.
Better Way: Build your own reserve system.
—
Mistake #4: No Legacy Plan
Pensions end with you.
Better Way: Build generational wealth with a blueprint.
