Can North Carolina TEACHERS Finally Hang Up the Chalk?

For many NC teachers, retirement feels close—but unclear.
You may have a pension estimate… but not a full picture.

The reality? A large number of educators underestimate:
• How long retirement may last
• How much healthcare will cost
• How retirement timing affects lifetime income

That’s exactly why we hosted a Retirement Ready Live focused on one question:
Is retirement truly affordable for NC teachers—or does the plan need refining?

Common Retirement Blind Spots for Teachers

1. Pension Timing
Leaving even slightly earlier than planned can reduce income permanently.

2. Healthcare Costs
Premiums before Medicare often exceed expectations.

3. Inflation
Over a 25-year retirement, everyday expenses can double.

4. Savings Gaps
Pensions work best when paired with intentional 403(b) and 457 strategies.

The 5-Question Retirement Checkup

During the session, teachers answered questions like:
• Have you verified your pension estimate recently?
• Do you know your real monthly retirement expenses?
• Could your income last 25+ years?

Teachers with 4–5 “yes” answers were well positioned.
Those with fewer uncovered opportunities to improve outcomes now—before retirement.

Why This Matters

Small adjustments often lead to meaningful results.
Several teachers discovered that waiting slightly longer or reallocating savings significantly improved lifetime income.
