Mostly sire with some fire.
What is a pension?
Not according to most sources I've read. This one says only 22% have pensions, 13% of private sector and 77% of public.Many people have both. And rely on both. We do.
This is a really old poll, right?
Still 100% FIRE
No pensions. Only expect SS in my future.
Midpack started this a year ago but mentioned that a similar poll was taken a LONG time ago here (guessing over 10 yrs). That first one had more people SIRE.
This one is trending more to FIRE. I'm not surprised as most of us Gen Jones and Gen Xers don't have the pensions of the previous generations.
(Of course, it could also be due to audience weighting, i.e. there apparently was a heavy military retiree community here that has lessened through the years.)
