[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3650118, member: 24302"] If I had the income you had all those years I would be in a much better position now. You can lie and spin all you want but I did volunteer all those years for extra hours. But there's a big difference between $14hr and $22hr. When I left after almost 15 years I was at $18.17. I don't have a pension from the military, and if he has one he did twenty years and he gets a COLA. And he has lifetime VA like my wife does. If he's able to get by on part-time hours it's because he has a military pension. I've known quite a few doing the same. But you're deflecting. No matter what you say you have a full traditional pension, I don't. You were able to contribute more to your 401k than I was simply because you made considerably more. And that doesn't change the fact that new hires are only going to have the portable pension, not both pensions like you do. If you think the traditional is no big deal and you'll be fine without it then send it to me. I'll be happy to have it. And you're always talking about how people talk about what they know nothing about. Same goes for you. I'm younger than you and am still working on my retirement. My going overseas allowed me to pay some bills which I couldn't get paid off on my FedEx pay. Right now I'm living on $400 a month in a comfortable situation. I'm back next month and going to work.
