How many workers do you know that would be happy
in their job getting the same was they got in 2009?
My pension hasn't gone up since 2009. ****'m.
Hmmmnm, mine has. So has SS, trivial as it was.
SS barely covered the hike in Part B and your
pension must be government or union.
From what little I know about pensions, many from companies do not go up
after you start them. Mine does not go up from the starting ammount.
With plenty the amount you get varys with how the pension
fund investments do and it isnt hard to do better than inflation.
Maybe some of the government ones do ?
The SS has not kept up at all with the cost of living.
Depends on how you measure the cost of living.
Each year they change the rules as to what they use to compute the cost
of living. Just glad I put a fair ammount in the 401k type retirement.
Many
companies do not even have pensons. This past year my IRA made as much
as I would have made before taxes in over 2 working years. Had my SS
money gone in to the same IRA plan I would get about twice as much as
the SS pays.
