[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are the pensions like being a public school teacher in the area?[/quote]

Op can likely collect 60% final salary if they retire at full retirement age.  If she leaves teaching early, there is still a pension but it is greatly reduced.  Also, I don’t think they can collect until age 65.

Op try to stay in till full retirement.  The pension is likely worth $1.5 million.  You are giving up a lot by leaving early.[/quote]

If a teacher survives long enough to collect a pension, they deserve more than that. [/quote]

I left after 13 years. No pension was worth the drain on my mental and physical health. I was well aware of how much money I was walking away from, and I didn’t remotely care. I still don’t. I don’t come from a wealthy family, either.

Pensions only matter to the few who will make it the full 30ish years. Few teachers starting today (or in the last decade) are going to make it that long. [/quote]

Getting rid of the pension system would seem to benefit nearly everyone.[/quote]
