[QUOTE="Blackstream, post: 3642209, member: 49052"] I'm not so sure about the follow up statements, but I do agree that pensions are too unreliable in this day and age unless you work for the government. I do work in a region with a 90%+ funded pension (and somehow I believe we also get more than what the master guarantees, so I'm not sure how that ended up working out), so at least I'm likely to get my pension, but 20-40 years is a long time for something to go wrong. I basically have to plan my retirement around not having my pension just in case, and make my pension my bonus money should it still be around when I retire. A 401k on the other hand I could plan around (and as such, I basically have to have a 401k anyways in addition to my pension). I do kind of wish my hourly contributions went straight into a 401k though instead of into the pension fund. [/QUOTE]
