Retirement - What services does your country provide?
-
Just as the title says - so? What do they provide?
-
There are financial services as in a pension but anyone born in '65(?) & later can't get.
Health care cards for discounts on medication
Discounts on public transportMedicare (mostly free public health care)
Other stuff too but I can't remeber off the top of my head.
Are you just curious or planning to GTHO of the US while you're young enough?

Why wait for retirement?

42 9th graders are sent to a deserted island. They are given a map, food, and various weapons. An explosive collar is fitted around their neck. If they break a rule, the collar explodes. Their mission: kill each other and be the last one standing. The last survivor is allowed to leave the island. If there is more than one survivor, the collars explode and kill them all.

SS isn't nothing - sure, not enough to live on, but it's not nothing.

it pays the rent. As long as the senior only has rent as an expense, they'll be juuuuuuuuuuuuust fine.

Unless you work for the government, that's not the same - and even if you do, that's not what I'm really going for... What you're talking about is employer benefits, even if the employer is the gov't.

DBPP baby
Defined benefit pension plan. 75% of your last 3 years of pay averaged until you croak.

I have a government 457 from past jobs. I don't ever count on getting the money from it.. considering it is the government after all.

The projected gains (if you see them that way) of a plan like that are overshadowed by smart mutual fund management imho

That REALLY screws people who try to do any work towards the end. That is an "early retirement system" for sure.

It's so that you can go half time to train your replacement in the last months / year and take no hit on your pension

How does it do that? If you take half time you would lower your average. It would make me never do half time or take any downgrade in pay.
