Re #48: Um, TIAA-CREF is a provider of investments for 403(b) plans.
The private-industry equivalent is a 401(k) plan, and they have been
extremely widely adopted.  The investments are normally handled by
general-purpose financial services companies instead of by entities
specific to one profession, but I think that's fine.  The idea that
retirement investing for teachers is somehow different from retirement
investing for steel workers and computer programmers is just TIAA
marketing, not reality.
