Your Union has been lying to you your entire career

Said, if you paid em all that money... Every pay period... Every year for 30-40 years... You'd get a pension.

Sorry, they lied. More hopeless change. Thanks, Obama

    Did you even read the article or just the headline?

    This is why I hate relying solely on a pension plan. Invest whatever the company will match (free money) then invest everything else yourself.

    Do you know the difference between a pension plan and a 401(k)?

    While I completely agree a company or Union pension shouldn't be your only retirement. If you are putting into a 401(k), it's fine to put more than the match into those, as long as it's an ERISA plan that is audited. Those funds are required to be deposited into the investments you direct.

    I feel like my investment in Derek Johnson books will be beneficial at retirement.
