Should you contribute to pension in today’s world ?

@bijouxbroussard you should consider as your baseline retirement. It was really never intended to be your only retirement income. Look at what your annual all expenses were and compare that to what SS would give you. The difference is what you need to have now in your nest why. Then correct for whatever years you have left to work and save before retiring.

@samueltyler2 I know this. But that wasn’t the person’s question. The short answer is "yes". And social security will be taken out regardless, so in a way the country has decided it for us.

@bijouxbroussard I know, i was actually responding to your answer trying to point out that one should not depend solely on SS, and, yes, the answer is yes, start saving as fast as you can.
