Would you take a "Lump Sum" offer?

[Glenlake55Wally]

"Looks solid"....not sure what that means. Pretty subjective.

And 25 years.....I can't imagine UPS even being here let alone a pension.

In 25 years package cars will have the Amazon blue pecker on the sides of them.

When they offer you a payout it's always a better deal for them

Ya but only if you assume you're going to get the same lousy return rate on the money that they're getting.

It's crap shoot

 

[UnionStrong]

You don't know me. I'm not "worried". That's your bullying, narcissistic construct. Go bully a girl some more...

Sigh.

Always the same song with you…


Sigh.

I took the early lump sum when I parted ways with Express. The amount wasn't huge and the monthly payments I would have received about 30 years from then didn't warrant waiting. Instead, I paid off my home, did some renovations, put a hefty down payment on a new car and paid any debt I had. I did this with the knowledge of knowing I was beginning my career at UPS, so money wouldn't be an issue going forward.

Mount the gun on top of the Hilux hire some Somalians and start a revolution

 

[BrownFlush]

If they want it, you don’t.
They don’t want it to benefit you. A retired person is nothing but cost. They hate you behind that smile.

 

[BrownFlush]

It's crap shoot

Again, It’s been nothing but luck for me. No plan.
I’ve got got around 170K in the fund and will hit 500K after next year.
I’m sure I would approach things different if I was in the game now. 401K what?

So it's going to triple next year?

No … that’s how much I have received so far with that monthly siphon …

Good job brother

 

[ski or die]

There are some on here who have nearly collected 3/4 to a million dollars thru the pension system. Most only
paid in a fraction of that in to the system. Wonder what a buy out number would have been?

$828,000. And still alive. I don't want no stinking lump sum. I'm gonna live till I am one hundred.

I used to think a million would make me happy… now that I’m about halfway there, one and a half million will make me feel more like I won when they lay me down to rest.

 

[Wally]

If they are doing the offering you know it's probably not a good deal for you.

Following in your foot steps one step at a time!

Yeah. I’ll be getting far bigger returns.

As is your bullying.

Tired of me saying it......? Stop doing it.

I give what I get.

See?

 

[quad decade guy]

No he brought up a valid point.
He Is not bullying anyone

What valid point?

He doesn't know me nor do you. Or my financial position.

So, he bullies. As you do. BASED ON NOTHING BUT SPECULATION AND HATE.

But then that's just good clean fun...eh?
