These days, most of us work jobs without pensions, and so we endeavor to build a nest egg to support ourselves when we no longer work. People who work in jobs that provide a traditional, defined benefits pension are taking an alternate route to planning for their later years. Military and law enforcement officers often retire reasonably well, with only modest assets outside their pension. When Biden leaves government service, he will have a nice income. In some ways, this is more secure than building a nest egg. I've known more than one elderly person who lost most of their savings through fraud or bad judgment in their later years.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6883537569234325643/130302940285239026/comments/default/5935271501785441203'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6883537569234325643/130302940285239026/comments/default/5935271501785441203'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.newredmajority.com/2008/08/joe-biden-subprime-vice-president.html?showComment=1219586515150#c5935271501785441203' title=''/><author><name>Russell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14474176390371518034</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.newredmajority.com/2008/08/joe-biden-subprime-vice-president.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6883537569234325643.post-130302940285239026' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6883537569234325643/posts/default/130302940285239026' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
