What percent of DUers have a defined benefit pension plan?

26. State gov equivalency

I'll receive a few hundred a month but nowhere near what is needed to survive. If I want to look at it as a silver lining I can 80 and out in a few years and find a different job to keep paying in to SS. I can also use my pension expense to invest and build a bigger nest egg until I retire from the second job.


I have a coworker turning fifty next year and she is going to 80 out. She breeds St Bernards and makes more money doing that then working but our job has decent benefits. She's breeding next year full time and has a horse she's using to stud. She said she will have the farm paid off, is working on a smaller lake cabin that will include solar and raised garden beds for her retirement home, etc. She acknowledges she will be one of the last of our generation who will be able to do this with a state job.
