EXACTLY. I know you’re Brown, but holy crap, I can’t believe how many Purple dudes I fly with who don’t get that.

Of course I’d rather it be more, who wouldn’t. But to have the 401k AND the pension is the sweet spot.

I don’t see $130k. I see the additional $3.25M I’d need to accrue in the market to pull 4%. The pension not being stock market dependent is yuuuge.

And yes, I do realize the horrific airline bankruptcy after 9/11. And I realize FedEx will need to remain in business for me to pull that pension.
