For a very long time, they were a dual income teacher/teacher household. You know how much money they make. For a long time, they tried IVF to have children. You know how much that costs. He has put money into his children’s 529 plan. They had a house that they sold when he moved into the governor’s mansion. Until his decision to run for office, the Walz family had a perfectly middle class life.

This is not a failure, it’s a good thing. He didn’t sell himself out and make himself beholden to special interests, which means that he could actually work on behalf of his constituents without external pressures. I think we have became so used to corruption in politics that when we see someone who is not, it seems like a bad thing.

He actually has 5 pensions. You’re not counting his pension as current gov, which will allegedly be $60,000 a year.

I tried to figure it out, I think with a single term probably half of that. But

What he has not done, is to enrich himself while in office.

Saving money and wisely investing them is not illegal enrichment, it is indicative of financial education and wisdom. I am an immigrant and I don't know anyone who does not own a house by the age of 40 and who does not have at least a million in various investments by the age of 40. To be old as Tim and not to own a house and not to have any investments other than government pensions is very concerning. If he cannot manage his own money and his own spendings, how we can trust him with our money?

This is such a bizarre take, and I say this as an immigrant with investments and a home. If you have enough of a pension to support you for the rest of your life, what exactly is the problem?

He owned a house. He sold it, when he moved into the governor's mansion. He will surely buy a new house.

Surely? He might be outpriced now to buy the house.

He has investments - they don’t show up on the financial disclosure forms because certain types of investments don’t have to be listed. He has multiple pensions and no debt so has a positive high enough net worth. Managing money well means having enough coming in to cover expenses and having enough extra for emergencies. Wall more than meets that definition. And either you know that and are just trying desperately to make Walz look bad (but aren’t fooling anyone) or you have zero understanding of finances. This dog won’t hunt with middle America who would LOVE to be in Walz’s financial shoes.

Money management is a problem. The person for 40 years did not learn how to manage money. Huge red flag.

He’s not in debt and has pensions worth multiple millions of dollars. What red flag?

DP. "Multiple millions of dollars"?? What on earth are you talking about?

Walz’s exact net worth is not known, but it’s estimated to be between $112,003 to $330,000 without counting his federal pension, which could add as much as $800,000 to that number.

A 2019 disclosure estimated the pensions to be worth $81,000 to $215,000 and a federal retirement plan for his years of service in Congress could earn a federal retirement benefit of $55,000 per year.

DP. Stop spreading misinformation. He has NO investments, other than the very modest pensions.

Walz's net worth comes from his and his wife's salary and pensions.
The couple do not own stock or have any real estate investments.

I have seen the calculations of his multiple pensions being worth more than 2 million. Pensions are worth a lot!

He owned a house. He sold it, when he moved into the governor's mansion. He will surely buy a new house.

Selling a house and not investing those money is dumb. He clearly stated he has no investment. Did he just put money into saving account. He lost at least 7% to inflation.

I have seen the calculations of his multiple pensions being worth more than 2 million. Pensions are worth a lot!

You are lying. Why?

With a net worth between $112,003 and $330,000, Walz sits far below his peers. Research shows that the average net worth for congresspeople and senators is around $1 million.

If we’re estimating that Walz’s net worth is on the high end of that—$330,000—he’s still far below where a typical 60-year-old should be if they want to retire.

And while Walz does not have a 401(k), IRA, or taxable brokerage account, he does have a pension, which seems to be his sole source of retirement funds.

Nowadays, the pension is a relic. Only about 15 percent of private-sector workers have access to a pension, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

lol I love some of the extremely confident stupid people on this forum who think they have financial expertise.

The man and his wife were teachers for many years and have pensions between teaching and service in Congress. There are ways to attach monetary value to pensions and they are typically much higher than you would think.

He doesn't have A pension, he has 4, and his wife has 1, so that makes it 5. Just his congressional pension alone is upwards of 100K a year. The others all add up to another 100K. That's plenty of money to retire on. Whoever wrote that article is an idiot.

Selling a house and not investing those money is dumb. He clearly stated he has no investment. Did he just put money into saving account. He lost at least 7% to inflation.

And yet this wasn’t an issue when Mike Pence was on the ticket with an even sadder financial situation. No one is taking you seriously.

For a very long time, they were a dual income teacher/teacher household. You know how much money they make. For a long time, they tried IVF to have children. You know how much that costs. He has put money into his children’s 529 plan. They had a house that they sold when he moved into the governor’s mansion. Until his decision to run for office, the Walz family had a perfectly middle class life.

This is not a failure, it’s a good thing. He didn’t sell himself out and make himself beholden to special interests, which means that he could actually work on behalf of his constituents without external pressures. I think we have became so used to corruption in politics that when we see someone who is not, it seems like a bad thing.

He actually has 5 pensions. You’re not counting his pension as current gov, which will allegedly be $60,000 a year.

I tried to figure it out, I think with a single term probably half of that. But

What he has not done, is to enrich himself while in office.

Saving money and wisely investing them is not illegal enrichment, it is indicative of financial education and wisdom. I am an immigrant and I don't know anyone who does not own a house by the age of 40 and who does not have at least a million in various investments by the age of 40. To be old as Tim and not to own a house and not to have any investments other than government pensions is very concerning. If he cannot manage his own money and his own spendings, how we can trust him with our money?

Money management is a problem. The person for 40 years did not learn how to manage money. Huge red flag.

He’s not in debt and has pensions worth multiple millions of dollars. What red flag?

DP. "Multiple millions of dollars"?? What on earth are you talking about?

Walz’s exact net worth is not known, but it’s estimated to be between $112,003 to $330,000 without counting his federal pension, which could add as much as $800,000 to that number.

A 2019 disclosure estimated the pensions to be worth $81,000 to $215,000 and a federal retirement plan for his years of service in Congress could earn a federal retirement benefit of $55,000 per year.

I have seen the calculations of his multiple pensions being worth more than 2 million. Pensions are worth a lot!

You are lying. Why?

With a net worth between $112,003 and $330,000, Walz sits far below his peers. Research shows that the average net worth for congresspeople and senators is around $1 million.

If we’re estimating that Walz’s net worth is on the high end of that—$330,000—he’s still far below where a typical 60-year-old should be if they want to retire.

And while Walz does not have a 401(k), IRA, or taxable brokerage account, he does have a pension, which seems to be his sole source of retirement funds.

Nowadays, the pension is a relic. Only about 15 percent of private-sector workers have access to a pension, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

What are you talking about? You admit he has a pension (five actually), demonstrate that you don't know how to financially value them, and then end by saying that not many people have pensions these days. As much as it gets thrown around here, your post is classic word salad.

I'm sorry. Why should I care about Tim Walz's retirement plan??

You shouldn’t, except for the clear evidence it provides that he’s not in any billionaires’ or foreign governments’ back pockets. Unlike the other side.
