Transcription vs retirement

I transcribed for over 40 years, and when I do test now, I usually test up to 95%, and that is just not good enough even for a company I previously worked for that went outsourcing after freezing us out of work. I really loved transcribing and would do it again in a heartbear if I could get a good, steady part-time source. Any suggestions or recommendations? Thank you. I am in Glendale, AZ if that will help. ...

Does anyone know what happens to our 401K? ...

I'm not saying to stay on at a horrible job that you hate. Do something else if you need to, but retirement is not always as great as we've always told it would be. When I look around me, I see all the retired people wishing they had something to do, somewhere to go, and a little bit of money to spend. Their brains don't get a very good workout. Stay active! Don't retire unless you have to. ...

Just wondering if they offer a retirement packet. ...

MTs: I presently work for an outsource company which has sold its MT division to another outsource company. I will be 62 yo come January. I am to the point now of seriously thinking about taking early retirement and only working PT 20 hours a week. If I do that I would actually be making more money that way than I would be working the 50+ hours a week I do now. The thing that I am concerned about is I would have no health insurance unless I pay for it out of my own poc ...

Thinking about taking early retirement and just working part time. I understand I can make a little over 14,000 without reduction in social security benefits. I would however have to purchase private insurance until I am old enough for Medicare. Anyone done this or have any input on it? ...

My minimal wage MT job is offering benefits and retirement account. Wouldn't getting benefits not to mention retirement account eat further into the small-sum paycheck I get now so that it's questionable whether I can pay for food or rent? The way they offer benefits, you think they pay a "normal" amount of money. By the way, is it required to enroll in healthcare benefits now that there's a new healthcare law? ...

39 work days left at this God for saken company. Early retirement is more money before taxes even with the $200 penalty for taking early retirement. No more 65 hour work weeks between 2 jobs. Working part time, 25 hours, as a cashier and customer service rep in a gocery store and making more money than at MModal. 39 Work Days Left at MModal!!!!!!!!! If not sooner if I can afford it!!!!! ...

I'm thinking of going part time at my job so I can do something else on the side. However, I won't be able to have a 401K or PTO. I get medical and dental benefits through my husband's work, so that doesn't matter. For any part timers out there, what do you do to save for retirement? ...

Here are some pictures of that beautiful little island I have chosen to live out the rest of my days. Since you wanted to spend your remaining days there too, I thought you would want to see the pictures. As you can see there are plenty of huts to choose from, I'm not sure which kind I want yet, but I am favoring one of those huts that are in the water. I have also sent a picture of the island from an aerial view so you can see how small it is. I heard Bill gates gave aw ...

I've heard for maybe 10 years now that right now, 2010, is when vast numbers of MTs were supposed to hit retirement age and quit work. What is retirement age? I don't want to retire, but when does a person really need to retire even if they don't want to? ...

15 days and early retirement. Can't wait until I write my letter to MModal to tell them what I think of them--will not do any good and will probably give them a good laugh for the day. Used to love this job, but now HATE it. Social Security with penalty and working 25 hours making more money and will be the end of 65 hour work weeks to make ends meet. VIRTUAL RETIREMENT PARTY!!!!!! ...

My aunt is 63, still working, uncle 66, still working PT but receiving full SS benefits. He has recently been diagnosed with cancer. If he dies, and my aunt keeps working (she is working for the medical insurance), will she receive his death benefit, and will it be the same amout. She is worried about this, well in advance (we hope) and I just wanted to ease her mind a little. Thank you. ...

Hi ladies, I have no work again today, so I had some time to do this. I live in the North and as I look out my window all I see is snow (measured in feet), and I really hate the winter. I thought it would cheer me up to post more pics of our retirement home. I must admit I did get a little carried away, and there will probably be another post with even more pics. I have included in these pics different huts, water, beach and inland, but I could not resist posting some pi ...

A legal contact was inquiring about the connection of medical mistakes related to off-shored transcription mistakes. I have told him to review these boards and hopefully he will benefit from the information here. While he did not discuss the exact case, I think that he will be able to use the off-shore transcription issue to his client's benefit or at least highlight that the provider in question does not have as rigorous control on processing records as other pr ...

I have been offered a position with both. I have; however, in the past, had a position where the employer still owes me $6000. Does United pay and have the work? Does Nuance have enough work for me? I need full time work guaranteed income, like everyone else. Good luck to all out there! ...

Would someone explain to me how is that this company can legally pay us a lower rate for ASR compared to transcription?
