Which is why you should fund them. A sizable part of my monthly salary is automatically diverted to my pension fund. Mandatory.
There used to be a time when old people were poor. Now retirees are the economic engine.

- lotsofpulp 8y agoIn the US, pension means defined benefit pension plan, which are under the control of the company, not the pensioners. The people benefiting from the pension don’t have any say (or knowledge) properly funding them or investing the funds, and don’t know if they are being taken for a ride. In my opinion, 401k with low fee target date funds are probably better all around.
