After working for a major corporation, a division of Sperry-Univac, a big name back the 50 and 60's, 28 years of owning my own business, I retired, (sold my business) with NO pension. I have drawn $0 in pensions the same as 50% of all small non-tax supported businesses in the U.S.<br /><br />You didn't mention health benefits? Does the tax-payer support part of your health insurance in retirement? If so, what part?<br /><br />As to Terry, etc., I took that quote out of the JS. Don't recall a rebuttal from Terry. Don't Illinois retired teachers get Social Security payments? My wife taught in a few years in Wisconsin. She does. <br /><br />Anyway, $50,000 a year is not bad.

I retired at age 66 Also, tenure is after 4 years, not 2, in District 150. The salaries of the union people (Terry, etc.) probably include the money made to them by the union (paid by union dues.)Sharon Crewsnoreply@blogger.com
