Help with Retirement question

[Jim McGinnis <jmcginni@VANSD.ORG>]

Friends,

As some of you know, I am planning to relocate from WA to another state. I =
have a big question and need some advice form anyone  who can put their =
two cents worth in on this subject.

here goes......
I have 20 years to work,=20

always worked in states where I have paid into both state retirement as =
well as Social Security.

 I am looking very seriously at Rhode Island.
In RI,  school employees pay only into their  state retirement and nothing =
into Social Security.=20

Granted, I will talk to a financial advisor BEFORE making the decision, =
BUT  I wonder if any of you have any thoughts/ experience on this subject.

All of my retirement programs in WA, NC, and VA have been structured so =
that the benefit packages include Social Security as well.

I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY THOUGHTS YOU MIGHT HAVE.......thanks
