I almost have to chuckle when I get asked why I didn't vote to fix the retirement issue before when it did (or didn't) come up. It is because I naively trusted what the MEC was saying...that 'this' was the best we were going to get. Frankly that particular thing is both embarrassing and humiliating. Then THIS MEC comes along and states they have a 4 pillar plan/agenda for C19 which included something for retirement for my demographic. Well that turned out to be a gigantic LIE now didn't it? Can you concede that? They. LIED. (And fwiw, I didn't expect a return of a DB pension nor did I really want one. It was interesting that they rubbed arsenic in the wound however by holding off on the DC contribution increases for a year wasn't it?).
As someone with 25+ years left, I can say that disregarding the 4th pillar is not a future mistake by junior. I fully expect all that money to be stolen by the .gov, the math makes that a certainty.
