I worked for a large multinational company back in the 80s. I was only there for 3 years before we moved to New Jersey. Not the best experience. In fact, I hated it. Was glad to leave.
About a year ago I started getting literature about pension benefits, but I ignored it. Another company has taken it over, so I thought they were just sending out blanket information to everyone that worked there at one time or another.
So a few weeks ago I gut another letter, so I thought, why not call them up and just make sure I'm not getting anything. As it turns out, I get a pension! A whopping $46 a month! Not much, but I'm psyched! Better than nothing! I'm planning on just putting it in a savings account and not touching it unless I have to. Otherwise, maybe it will help a wee bit with grandchildren's college or something.
What would you guys do with a $46 monthly "windfall"?
