[quote=harvey][quote=SD Realtor]Why shouldn’t they get the exact same benefit?[/quote]
“yes, everyone should get to retire at 50 with a full salary pension.”
Of course we’ve seen how well that actually works.[/quote]
Yes, I HAVE seen how well that works, FIRST HAND. Although I have been eligible for years to begin to collect it, I myself have “deferred” my paltry gov’t pension until the age of 62, just to receive an additional $331 month!
I was not a “sworn safety member” (whose pensions are calculated on more generous formulas) and am NOT ALONE in this regard. And I did not hold a “professional” or “managerial” position.
There are thousands of “BG’s” out there.
I’m wondering if my govm’t pension will even cover my monthly utilities at the time I begin to collect it, lol…
pri, based upon your past and present demeanor on this forum, I can’t see you (or any of the other Piggs continually ragging on this subject in the middle of the business day) “bending over” every day for as long as I did for this “generous reward,” that is, if I don’t die first. If I do, there will be no survivor benefit to anyone.
Ahem, my family doesn’t have a “history” of longetivity. I’m trying mightily to be an outlier in that regard :=0
