Aiming_4_55
Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I voted: Yes, I have a non-cola'd pension, but it doesn't have a significant impact on my retirement budget.
If I RE in a few years at 50, I'll still have to wait about 12 years so that will limit the buying power.
I was thinking of looking for a State or Federal job in my 50's for the health benefits and pension. The typical position is about $50k difference in pay vs. a standard employer. If I continue to work, I rather take the money now to invest vs another small pension. This assumes I would only work to age 55.
