2. Defined benefits pensions are great

I have my good Union Pension, SS and a 401k to rely upon. The wife has the same. I did my 43 years in the grocery biz and now am comfortable.

Not too worried about leaving anything behind (I’m sure I will do so) but, we got the step daughter through college and into a career where she can make her own way. I believe that is what one is supposed to do and anything left is gravy for the next generation.
