A pension is nice, but you live in abject poverty until you get to 65 unless you happen to get a decent base wage. Meanwhile, COL will 100% outpace govt wage increases.

So you get a "safe" retirement, but you'll have no fun up until then. There are some pretty sick defined pensions, but they were closed up right after i was a fetus.

Current pensions are great for folks that already have a roof over their heads waiting to die.
