I agree.
I don't even trust that my military pension will be there when I retire from the airline and am saving accordingly. I certainly hope it's there, but I've found hope to be a very poor game plan in past experiences. I also expect greedy politicians will change the laws and tax my Roth IRA before I ever draw a dime. I know that FedEx still has their pension and there is a part of me that daydreams about pulling down 2 pensions when I hit 65, but then the rational side clobbers me over the nugget and points to what happened to most airline pensions when times got tough.
