Today I'm off to Carlisle, PA to attend a retirement party, Tim served 36 years as a teacher / administrator in the public school system. The state of Pennsylvania offers a decent pension to it's employees, I on the other hand work in the private sector and have to set aside my own money for retirement. When you look at these numbers you have to wonder if it's possible to save enough money so you don't out live your savings.
