I am retiring June this year. I have a fixed pension I will have for life with survivor benefits for wife. Also was on a plan of "retire/rehire" where my pension check went into an account. When I leave in June I have the option of taking that money or rolling into a "life time benefit". It will be about $343,000. They will up my pension by $2,000 a month if I roll this into the "life time benefit". I suppose it's like buying more time or an annuity. Anyway I can't determine if I should go that route or save the money and withdraw as needed from it. It would be a nice nest egg for kids if wife and I get whacked the week after retiring but $2k a month seems like a good return on $343k?
Can some of you wise ones help with some pros/cons?
Thanks so much.
