Yes, I have a pension, and have been putting in it for about 1.5 years. I am currently 26 years old and plan on retiring when I am about 55. I desperately want OUT of my pension. That is one of the main reasons I am looking for a different position where I can choose what to do with my money instead of letting it sit and do virtually nothing for me. The only benefit of my pension would be if I wanted to stay at my position for 30 years or so, and that is NOT what I want to do! I believe pensions (for me) are good in theory, but not in practice.
I've always put 25%+ of my income towards retirement, and I feel like my pension is actually holding me back a bit. It's good for some people, just not me.
I'll get off of my soap box for now.
