My mom had a part time job for a number of years in Chicago, working at a Senior Center, administering a meals program. When she retired her pension checks were SIGNIFICANTLY larger then her pay had been when working. In addition to a health plan that was zero cost and payed 100% for prescription drugs.

Taking inflation into consideration, that is the way retirement should be planned for.
