Enter my dad. Nothing really saved.

Worked 20 years as a union carpenter, and then became union firefighter for 20 years retiriong at 60. High school education (C+ student at best) but hard working and fit his entire life.

He gets

> 100% healthcare / dentist costs covered until he dies (2 unions benefits + medicare)
> $65k Union Pension (Carpenter) + $85k Firefighter Pension + $24k Social Security ($174k per year until he dies (!) ) + 1-2&% cost of living increase per year adjustment
> 1-2% annuity bonus from carpenter union ($1k per month or so - its fucking weird how its calculated)
> Gets all kinds of free golf perks for being a firefighter for some fucking reason.

Buys a new truck every other year. Has house paid + swimming pool. Travels with my mom every other week. Eats out more than Anthony Bourdain.

Living on easy street. Why save anything? His pensions are guaranteed by the Illinois Tax Payers forever (suckers). He paid for my college and my house 20% disposit interest free.
