Retired a year ago from 20 year career. Took another position with less stress and will work 2-3 more years and retire at 60-61.
I have a pension with prior company currently at $240k earning 3.8 % per year. If I took the monthly payment now it would be ~$1100 per month for life for both me and the bride.
Question is do I take the pension, lump sum and invest or buy an annuity? I'm concerned the annuity carries high fees.
If I take the monthly pension should I wait until I retire or start now?
Suggestions please.
