I love my job, my boss is 80 and sharp as a whip, and I hope to keep at it (and build some nest egg for kids) beyond retirement age.

But a big value of my job is the worth of the pension; if I never start collecting it’s a bad deal. I guess I could go private but with ageism probably slim pickings for a 70 year old.
