30、ct it. Youre entitled to whatever benefit youve earned and you might even be entitled to take it now. “A lot of people forget they have it, or they think that by waiting until theyre 65, theyll have a bigger benefit,“ says Wayne Bogosian, president of the PFE Group, which provides corporate pre-reti
31、rement education.Your former employers should send you a certificate that says how much your pension is worth. If its less than $5,000, or if the company offers a lump-sum payout, it will generally close your account and cash you out. It may not seem like much, but $5,000 invested over 20 years at e

34、million in lost benefits for more than 12,000 workers.If you have a traditional pension, retiring early costs more than you might expect.

35、rs of service and you leave three years early, youd get a pension 90 percent of the full amount.But thats not how- it works. Instead, you take an actuarial reduction, determined by the employer but often around five percent a year, for each year you leave early. So retiring three years early could l
36、eave you with only 85 percent of the total amount.When you retire early with a defined-contribution plan, the problem is you start spending investments on which you could be earning interest.

45、feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But this is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for

Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. When equals meet, a person who is five minutes late is expected to make a short apology. If he is less than five minutes
