Company still has a traditional pension for those that were grandfathered in prior to 2010. They will quit funding it in a few years but will replace that with a high % into the 401k.

This is not oil/gas.

That’s really good. We basically get 17% match on base and bonus.

Dumb question: what’s a true pension? Husband and I are both self employees so we have iras (traditional/sep/Roth) so I have no idea.

Like when a teacher would work 25 years for a state and then draw 50-70% of their salary. Not near as common now. Used to private companies had these kind of things. Now it’s mainly only government (and the FED pensions are not near what they used to be).

Yes. I guess technically it's a monthly annuity for the rest of my life starting at age 50.

This is true. Fed retirement is now a a combo of FERS and TSP (Govt 401K).

Yep, working for the state. Upon retirement they average the highest three years of earnings and then give you 2.5% per year of service of that (so 100% after 40 years, 75% at 30 years, etc).
