Gen X and latter for the most part will not have any type of pension. My hubbie’s two grandfathers both worked for Ford. One was white collar and the other blue collar. The blue collar one retired in his mid 60’s and lived till he was 97. The man had a great, albeit simple life.
My father in law receives his military pension, a pension from American Airlines, one from a co called Cobra and then SSI. The man is making more now then when he worked. He worked hard and I’m happy he gets to travel non stop and just enjoy life.
Flash forward to my hubbie- he invest in his 401k to the max, but the numbers still don’t make us feel comfortable. My income goes to savings as well, but it will take a great great deal of work to have the retirement my GF and FIL have had.
