and they were roth sistered only in one location. still are fueling debate whether the areas should be expanded. now, only people living within 12 miles of the plant have been ordered out. >> and there is trace amounts found in the bay area revels. trace amounts are the key words here skpechl perts are clear on this point. it's not dangerous. >> lunchtime at uc berk lism a place that has nudging in common with japan. but feet away on the banks of strawberry creek amy would disagree. water sampems would prove it. >> want to see what do you see? where does it go? >> an alarmist would be worried because testing shows the presence of iodine and this is also in our air that diluted into runnoff. there are traces in the milk. this professor noticed because they've set up a series of collectors but they're not concerned. >> this amount of radiation is small less than what we can see every day in the environment. >> but the fact they see any traces send people running for cover. in reality equipment is sensitive probably sensitive to a fault

beyond that since you are already living on what your making, i would make two roth ira contributionsyear. the reason i would put the money in a roth as opposed to a traditional ira is you can get at those contributions if you need the money. try to keep it in there to allow it to grow. it gives you flexibility just in case. >> we're proud of you. our next question says we were able to short sale our home and have worked since then to pay off debt and save a down payment. we were told it would be two years before we could even approach a lender. is there anything we can do now to get ready? explain the short sale. >> a lot of people are in this situation. they had a foreclosure on the home and it was due to a short sale. they were under water on the mortgage. they weren't able to pay it and now the situation is will they be able to get a new loan in two years. really, the law says three years for an fha loan for a freddie mac or fannie mae loan up to four years. they will probably not be able to do it in less than two years. they can try with a private lender but the rate will go up.

so don't take money out of your 401(k), don't take it out of a roth i.r.a. or an i.r.a.are holding off for retirement. the loans that you can get for college are some of the lowest interest rate loans there are. so you're much better off taking out new debt for college, and specifically for that payment, by both the student as well as the parents, than you are dipping into parents' retirement savings. >> talk about people that want to start planning now. really start planning out way in advance. what are some steps that they can take? >> one of the best things any parent can do, and really y can do this at any point, something that you can do even when you're child is just born is start a 529 plan. these are plans that have tax deferred savings inside of them. when you actually take the money out for qualified education expenses, it is not taxed at a federal level. however, there's about 80-plus of these plans out there. so you need to choose one that's right for you. some of them are higher in fees. look at those fees and make sure they're not outweighing the benefits.

i roth bay bridge ride.ighway 4 westbound, it is improving just a bit, we may not be tracking this is a hot spot much longer. it looks like a normal rough ride for highway 4. an earlier accident backed it up solid. 680 southbound, it has benefited from this law right on highway 4 west, it kept a lot of traffic away from this commuted to the san ramon valley to walnut creek. it is starting to slow rate at the top of your screen, for your ride up to alamo and livermore in your route.look for, chains are requ, off 50 as well, and 80. highway 88 is closed from kirkwood to silver like. an accident in palo alto on 1 01 southbound that may not only be affecting the freeway but the university on ramp. we will update that in our next report. >> mark: a strike as hundreds of workers are striking at the civic steal and casting after contracts expire yesterday. >> reporter: you can see several hundred workers out on the picket line this morning. they walked out last night. their contract expired yesterday, they took a s

we also have $10,000 between a money market, roth ira and savings.to take the 7 out of that 10 and pay that off? >> garrett has a great question, especially given his medical condition. >> garrett, first of all, congratulations paying down that debt as well as you can. do not touch your savings. you said it. i think you answered that question, you said you have health concerns. i can sense from what you're telling me that you feel sometimes that money is a tight situation. you feel broke sometimes. that savings is for you for an emergency. but here's some tips. go back to your credit card statements. there is new disclosure now that the credit cards companies to have tell you exactly what you need to do, pay every month to be out of debt in that card in three years' time or less. that may be more aggressive than what you're used to. three years is tangible. see what you can do. the closer you can pay off that debt in three years, i think that's going to be your solution. do not touch your savings because you may need that. that's for you. you deserve

but retirement accounts, when you withdraw money from them -- because i'm assuming this is not a rothitional ira or a 401-k, you will owe income taxes on the money. listen to me carefully. you have to stand in your truth and here is the truth of this matter. $700,000 in a retirement account, you will be lucky if you get 4% on that. that's $28,000 a year before taxes. after taxes, maybe $18,000 or $20,000 a year. that's going to give you $1800 a month of income to live on. you can't do that. you're 60. average age of your life expectancy could be 20, 25 years. i'm so sorry to break this news to you, but, no, you do not have enough money to retire at 60. you need to wait as i said yesterday, in my opinion, until you're 67, hopefully 70 when you can get full advantage of your social security. >> margaret, i don't know if that was the advice you wanted but i thank you for the call. i hope it helps. >> thank you. >> we have a lot more people, suze. will you come back tomorrow and gert.ot t vouernk got y ou y ch.>mu ynkcher v. we're back after this. about wa. but sometimes i wonder... what'
