I’m 55 and the Company Where I Worked for 30 Years Is Asking Us for Voluntary Retirement. I’d Get A $300K Pension Buyout. I Also Have $220K. Do I Risk Staying or Leave?
A 55-year-old facing a $300,000 pension buyout after 30 years on the job wonders whether to stay or take voluntary retirement. Experts urge caution, noting that the wrong move could cost thousands, and advise consulting a fiduciary (particularly a CFP® professional) to weigh the risks and options.
