Sam,

Thanks very much. *Yeah, I'm afraid the engineer in me is know part of my DNA. *I get that kind of comment all the time.
I'm fortunate that I will have a pension as well as a lump sum profit sharing distribution. *My company is ceasing adding to the existing pensions in 3 years. *New hires will not get a pension. *That is the trend now days.
I do have decisions to make as to the pension. *I have the option to take a lifetime pension or take an approximately doubled amount for 10 years only. *I think I will take the latter.
