No shit…

This seems like the most obvious headline ever. I have my first retirement coming up in 3.5 years, and I’m holding on by the skin of my teeth. And I’m one of the lucky ones with a job that offers a flat pension at 20 years regardless of age.

Pension after 20 years of work?! That sounds soon and great! Could you maybe explain that a little more?

Join the military! Pay ain’t great, quality of life is sketchy at best, and you’ll retire with plenty of physical and mental health issues, but you’ll be retired at 20 years with the government paying you to go to school for 3 years so that you can start a second career. I guess it’s a mixed bag.
