The 5 year barrier?

LOL!

being a bar owner I can tell you that beer is usually kept at 38*

assuming you had a 40* SST
that would be minus 2* compressor superheat!
good way to sell new compressors!

I keep my beer at 42* because I have too hard a time getting negative superheat.

I am a 4th year residential HVAC service tech, work at a small shop (3 employees, a working owner, and a secretary) in a small town (13,000). I was just wondering what other folks are doing for retirement. I have brought up the topic serveral times to my boss but he seems to dismiss it. I am generally happy with my current situation but I just want to make sure I am getting the most out of my career.

Start your own Roth IRA. Company pensions are a thing of the past, most have gone to 401k. 401k's are only good if the employer provides matching funds.

It all depends on the individual. I have guys with 3 to 5 years experience that I would not trade for anything, then I have guys with 25 years experience and I wonder, in what?

roth IRA

mutual funds

May I ask the details About the ROTH IRA? Do they match a percentage? I'm the only non-family employee and the other two "workers" mainly install and I do most of the service. They likely have the company to fall back on so they do not have any other types of retirement.

you just get your own roth ira.

if you want to approach your boss,
see if he will match up to 10% of your gross pay?

so if you make 50k
you save 5k
and boss puts in 5k.

We get 6% of our contribution matched up to $3800

You know what they say. If you want 5, ask for 10. This is also the way politics works, but eventually someone has to budge on their end.
