In reply to the discussion: Do you have a pension? [View all]BeyondGeography
(39,393 posts)58. That's great

Not asking my original question out of envy; Ive been fortunate and cant complain. The more economically secure people we have in this country the better. Behavior is changing with the times. The next pension crisis (and its coming) will take a big chunk out of whats left of defined benefit pensions. And we have monetized necessities to the point where the essentials chew up a much bigger chunk of income than in decades past. I have a daughter in her 20s who is much more careful with her money than I was at that age. They have to be.
