The Great Wealth Transfer
- Thread starter mcmurtry66
- Start date
One of my college roommates works at Lilly, I was shocked when he said he had a pension. I wonder if the janitors get a pension?
It all depends on what the previous owners did in it. 🤣
Just set up my first appointment up here. Hoping it doesn’t hurt.
Can’t wait to ask the doc or nurse: so how long until I have a younger girlfriend?
Yep, they used to but they don't have janitors now (or I would guess they don't). All jobs like that are outsourced to a private company.
You have to work a lot longer now to get the full pension benefit. It used to be age plus years of service and 90 points was full retirement but you could retire at 80 points with reduced retirement amount.
you just worry about getting one of those class actions to pop. then you won't have to worry. you can have skin like edward james olmos and still get a hot gf
New car smell cannot be replicated or restored once it’s gone…
Plus you’ve got to worry about the uninformed scoundrels pumping regular unleaded into a premium engine. Used cars = no bueno.😉
Wouldn't it be a lot cheaper just to buy this?one thing i will say is people are in better shape today and take care of themselves and can presumably work much longer. look at these pics below. my god wilfred brimley was 49 in cocoon. rob lowe is 60. fillers, microneedling, hair meds. weights. diet. no reason to be or look old. you feel good you can keep doing new projects. keep it going. after rob lowe's pic i linked vanished aesthetics. you and unclemark shoudl skip a football game or the next d&D convention and treat yourself to youth. apparently their spa is on walnut. get your skin going and THEN look into some fillers. i wouldn't be surprised if it followed with a promotion at work. and who knows... a girlfriend??

You probably think imitation crab meat, imitation vanilla extract, & fake boobs are as good as the real thing too…🙄
I think a person could argue with a lot there.Hard to argue with any of this.
How baby boomers became the most selfish generation
It's not your imagination. The baby-boomer generation is particularly more selfish than every other generation — and that all comes from one ideology.www.businessinsider.com
Boomers seem to have traded in the child-raising village for traveling. Now millennial parents say they have no one to support them.
Some millennials say they thought their boomer parents would be around to help them raise their children. Instead, they say, they've been abandoned to fend for themselves.
How the baby boomers — not millennials — screwed America

I agree with you. You can't lump everyone together in just about any category. Years ago in Illinois there was a couple who had 2 daughters. They were both drunks and were in and out of the hospital because of it. Yet their daughters were non drinkers,good students, and hard workers. I can see somebody lumping the daughters in with the parents and it would not have been fair.
Vietnam Veterans as a group,
earned more, were jailed or imprisoned less, have lower suicide rates, lower divorce rates and were generally more secure in life's metrics than their age peer group who did not go to VN.
This Boomer paid my youngest sister's down payment on her house, our youngest daughter's down payment on her house, put a new roof on the house, paid for a 4,400 square foot drive and pad for the other daughter, paid 4 years of IU Kelly bills, 3 semesters of Marian U. tuition, and other things.
51 years with one company, retired 5 months before I turned 68, and didn't take SS until I turned 70.
The intergenerational greed and disrespect from the alphabets is part of the well-deserved disdain for them by many Boomers.
I think they do, if they're not contractors. I don't think Lilly's has a Union.
You're from Columbus - doesn't Cummins still have a pension?
You work for IU, right? Don't you get a pension?
Nope, no pension here in IU land.
They had something similar for some important faculty and administrator. It was called 18/20. I think it was 20 years at IU, 18 in the program, and leave with full pay. It cost IU a ton, and people in it called it the "golden handcuffs". It went away. I was never close to being that important.
It looks like Cummins still has a pension plan.
Well that sucks you don't have a pension. I thought that was one of the perks of working for a university. Cheap bastards.
I've heard Lilly being referred to as having 'golden handcuffs', but mostly because of their insane profit sharing plan, where they rolled over bonuses into salaries after a few years. Again, this was a while ago.
My first corporate job was with Cummins and they had a great pension plan. I just couldn't see working in one place for 30 years.
Thank you Boomers. Your generations theft led to the invention of Bitcoin. The best money ever that will end the last legalized form of slavery, inflation, and finally separate the state from money. @UncleMark live it up and keep voting for the thieving leftist. Bitcoin is counting on you doing it.

Were you at the main plant in Columbus? People I knew that had parents at Cummins liked it OK enough.
IU employees get a lot of time off. Of course you still have to get your work done. So aside from the year I had knee replacement I haven't used but half of my 268 hours. I really wish my returned hours counted as a donation for tickets.
Yep, I started in the old GOB and then moved to the COB when construction on that finished. I used to love after work drinks at 4th Street and the tenderloins at the CB. Used to play lunchtime basketball at the gym that was just built in Ceraland.
I really liked Cummins and they started me out at a great salary. I just didn't care for the constant ups and downs of the diesel engine business.
They also had some hot women working there - too bad I was a newlywed at the time.
Funny, I never got a check.
America's 'Great Wealth Transfer' is underway. How will it impact the country?
Boomers are set to pass on as much as $90 trillion in assets to younger generations.www.yahoo.com
Here ya go @BradStevens
I got a headache. I still have it. And I'm probably going to have pay
to be sure though, it warn't my parents who were the deadbeats.
Well it makes sense in a lot of ways from a corporate standpoint. They don't have to worry about benefits or other things that they do when a person is an employee. However, they give up a lot also in the fact that the person is not tied to the corporation in any way. Some things they do I completely agree with.... like hiring someone for a 2 year job and then deciding after that whether they would be a good employee. You and I both know that just because someone has a perfect GPA doesn't necessarily mean they'll be a good employee.
Lilly hires just about all degree people now and you are correct in that they don't have a union. Unions have their place but I never did want to belong to one. Some of the things they do just never did make sense to me.
I keep telling my kids I’m going to live with them when they get jobs.
Our daughter keeps telling us that we can come live with them and I keep saying not as long as I can keep putting one foot forward.
Divorce is expensive because it’s worth it.
I always tell my wife she can remarry if I die. She just can’t have sex.
Nah Marv, that is not my point. I'm not saying Boomers have my money and I'm not suggesting I expect or want theirs.
I'm saying Boomers, by not providing enough wealth dispersion across their generation and/or a properly capitalized social safety net are going to require tax increases on my generation, to help fund the deficit and keep a massive age cohort alive for what I expect to be a renewed high water mark in life expectancy.
It's a fair question. I don't see any specific data on those prior generations (found any?), but we know with certainty that they paid more in taxes per dollar of income than the Baby Boomers who came into their prime during the lowest tax era in history. Given they have paid less in taxes (which I am not necessarily opposed to), you would have expected they would have re-invested some of those savings to become self sufficient, which isn't the case.
On the plus side, Boomers seem to be working longer than others. On the negative side, the prevents others (e.g., Gen X) from rising to positions of power as quickly as they were expecting.
I agree NPT, but in the case of Gen X and younger, there is still time. Boomers can't change the retirement gap now because it is too late, even with accelerated retirement funding.
Now, practically, do I think they will do what they should? Of course not. People just want. They don't want to do, any longer.
