hypothetical question

[upschuck]

With just over 2 years left it's a little late for that.

I'd only count on 60% of that pension, or whatever the most that can be cut. Your pension is in bad shape, and will be inevitable that it gets cut drastically. May have to work longer than expected

The pension is just one part of my overall retirement plan. I would be lying if I were to say that it was not a major part but a reduction would not be crippling. I have no plans to work beyond 7/1/18.

As long as you can live happily on the lesser percentage, then I wish you the best

I will be fine but thank you for your concern.

Thank you.

The ones that I worry about are the drivers with less than 15 years in.

I was really trying to be nice but you are crossing over in to "mind your own business" territory.

 

[upschuck]

Thank you.

Isn't it like 50-60% or so funded? They will cut it long before it goes bankrupt.

 

[upschuck]

Sorry if that was suppose to be serious, but that has me cracked up.

Slow down I am still trying to find pusillanimous means

My personal hope is that UPS will buy their way out, much like they did in CS and New England.

The problem we have is there are retirees drawing $7K/month (or more) pensions. There is no way that this is sustainable.

As I said, the pension is just one part of my overall retirement portfolio.

Sorry if that was suppose to be serious, but that has me cracked up.

Let's hope the mods share your sense of humor.

But you are not going to be working under the new, so you won't have the protections of UPS.

That is why it will be cut to the minimum.

Yes he overreacted, but we all do from time to time. He has been attacked a lot, some warranted, some not so much.

Please show me where I overreacted.

I went out of my way to be polite while conveying that he was crossing a line.

He has no problem sticking his nose in everyone else's business. Like I said he posted I answered.

Just like when he posted his wart and his face in my thread...then he told us we post too much.

Screw him.

All Ive was saying was to don't think that this is not going to effect you, show a little concern for you, and you took it as going over the line? I don't think so, my posts were more intrusive than his were.

My pension is in the same boat. I threw away Pipedream A...now I'm working on plan B.

At least I'm being realistic.

I'll be dammed if you think I'm going to be saying "would you like fries with that"

I'll slug it out another year or two if need be.

You'll be saying, "I need to measure your inseam, please".

Hope not.
