So long Big Brown!

I don't know how every pension works because there's so many different plans

But I know every summer I get a pension statement.
The only problem my statement is based on age 65.

So I sent an email with my name and my wife's birthdate.
Just asking how much would I get right now and what are my survivorship options.
Approximately a month later they gave me a nice print out show me what I would get if I walk out the door today

7 dollars is the number. I will pay you 7 dollars to leave.

You can call your local and they will give you the number for the administration of your plan. Probably more than the 7 dollars I’d pay you.

Isn’t it a good thing that we have a retirement plan? Most are figuring out how to get by and we’re being Pertty over how much we want to leave with.

Makes me thirsty. Beverage time

If I didn't have a pension my 401k and ira would not be enough money for me to retire on right now

I just watched a retirement video that said 49% of people within two years of retiring don’t even have $100,000 in retirement savings. Doubtful most of them have pensions how the hell are they going to make it?

401(k) was a great idea, but clearly moving away from pensions has been detrimental to working people.

The pension is a big part of why we do what we do and put up with the games. Most don’t make 75k a year and if we leave early that’s what we walk away with. You can live comfortably in some areas with that income alone.


Insurance is the key for me.

Many live week to week and rely on state aid. It’s amazing how some survive. If your desperate enough the fight comes out.

Oh if we can have retirement health Care I would definitely have to be here till age 65

But they still smoke 2 packs of cigs a day and find money for drugs.

And somehow seem to "scrape together" enough $$$$ to buy the newest IPhone EVERY year...outright without any contract help.

all 10 of us that are left here would have to do a go fund me to help you out my green brother.

I'll be all right

BINGO---

I get a new phone every 10 years it seems and the last time I went into the store I was pretty blown away by how much a new iPhone with the most gigs goes for if you bought one outright.... and supposedly some of these people on a fixed budget are buying these things every year or so.

 

[Coldworld]

He's already in my will.

Think we'll all have to eventually chip in so he doesn't have to be here for another 30 years.

Well, the way you go on it seems like that isn't the case. I've seen a few of our coworkers who wanted to wait a few more years to double dip or "shore up the 401k" and they ended up dying before they could even enjoy it all...so ing sad.
