Got our $$ numbers almost exactly what the pension calculator stated. 1/2 of the future value . Questions to our tax attorney. Our concern is if we leave it and the pension changes

Personally, I'm rolling ovee the money int an IRA. Even if it's just corporate bonds, I can make at least 5% annually on it from just the interest.
 
Here's mine.... 9.5 years of PT. ($465/mo pension at 65) I think I'll hold off and see what happens later. I'd wager they try to buy me out again in a few years.

I'd let it ride and wait for a better offer
What are the chances of that? And when/how would that happen?
I look at it like free money(but not untaxable, obviously, lest the rollover) I didn't contribute a nickel towards it. I was a PT employee with 5 years in. So basically, it's $2500/year just for showing up.

Is there a website that it has you logging into? If so what are the steps? I was a friend/T TSG technician with 6 and half years. We were also told by management that we were in the same pension plan as they were.

Enough already. Good gravy.

I didn't realize there were that many financial experts that work or used to work at UPS.

That's all I'm saying.

Go sort a package would ya...
Get a jump start on Peak Season.
Big Brown needs you.
There is no such thing as a financial expert. If there were, the Great Recession would not have happened. Very few would've lost any money. There are only buyers and sellers.

Thats awesome if you're set up for retirement elsewhere. How many years did you work PT at UPS if you don't mind me asking? My "number" was 25k to pay off student loan debt, they barely offered me half of that. Went ahead and declined.

I was on the airline side in aircraft maintenance for 16yrs.... Fulltime. I was making a little over $75k per year when I left. I'm 100% debt free, set up for my future retirement with where I'm working now + a healthy 401k. All is good. We are in the process of building a new home. We are lucky because this $$ is like a bonus to us. It will more then likely put a badass pool in the back yard with the new home being built. And some beer + hookers...
