Why? You don’t have to sign anything to get it. In 15 years, I start making an extra $16 a month! I hope that’s enough to go to McDonald’s once a month! (I don’t live in California)
As a Teamster retiree, I’m doing okay in my retirement. I worked for solid companies that always paid into the fund. Stockholders made their profits off my hard labor, nevertheless I recognize I’m one of the lucky.

Your pension plan is only worth something if the company doesn’t go out of business.

Happy Independence Day to all (I guess except for those in the United Kingdom)

With my pension and SS, I have a comfortable life, and that’s good.
They also did a thing where they took 3% of every paycheck and put it into a mutual fund. Great idea.

On another subject. In case, folks haven’t bothered to notice, It’s July 4.
Thank you and prayers for the men and women who still hold the line.
Thank you and prayers for the fallen, the wounded, the ‘damaged’ and their families, loved ones, and caretakers.
If not for their sacrifice, we would no longer be able to call this Independence Day.

Depends if it’s a private equity company. If it is, tighten your seat belt, brother. You are in for a ride.

No company I ever worked for had a pension plan. My wife’s in a union and does have one, but 12 more years…

A good reason why we should all be in charge of our own retirement.

That’s one kind of wealth you can spread and still have it yourself. Another is a smile! Share one today!

Before 401k plans, there was profit sharing. But the company’s I worked for never made any profits. What a joke

Turns out he got a free metal detector instead of an annuity.

Did they give him the metal detector or did he have to buy it himself?
