Life How does your retirement funding work?

**Rain Man** · 10-22-2012, 11:27 AM

Excluding social security, what's your deal on retirement funding? The poll will take a few minutes for me to put up, but the delay is primarily to compound your interest in the topic.

Pension? I am surprised by this, congrats for finding one of those in your generation.
They are pretty much non-existent for our generation.
Government job?

I got in at the end. I think new employees now either don't get it or get a smaller cut. It's not a pension in the like of an annuity, but a lump sum based upon years of service & highest average salary.

Chiefsplanet has the right to audit this stuff, you know. It's a pay to play forum and we need to be sure that people have the resources to post.

Cut 'em up 6 years ago. Haven't had one since. I pay cash but good luck getting that too.

OK on with your thread now as I duck out.

I don't think I make enough to have a retirement plan to work. Am fixing to switch gears and become a truck driver. At least I am seriously thinking about it seriously.
