You are a very lucky man.
I thought that was a thing of the past, at least in the private sector.
My company dumped their retirees about a decade ago.
I plan on retiring in about 2 years when I am 60. My wife will pick up my insurance on her companys insurance.
Who knows what that will cost?
Don't I know it. I worked for GTE. They had some of the best benefits in the business. When GTE sold my division to General Dynamics in 2000, part of the deal was that they had to maintain the retirement benefits for former GTE employees. It would be difficult for General Dynamics to squirrel out of it.
I continued to work for GD for 12 years after the acquisition, so I have the best of both worlds. Thanks to GTE, I even have a real pension.
