      IRS defines 403B plans, which are similar to 401k, but specific to teaching. Also public school teachers have retirement plans through unions (at least in NY, MA, CA)

      You can’t trust pensions. Goldman Sachs will just dump it all in mortgage backed securities

        This is one way 401k and similar plans are better than pensions: you own the money, immediately

        While pensions were historically a lot higher value, there have been too many ways to lose it. Not spend ten years at the company? Gone. Company goes bankrupt? Gone. Company not funding their commitment? Gone.

        With a 401k, I own the money immediately, can take it with me no matter how short term an employee I am, keep it even if the company is bankrupt, and most importantly, I decide how to invest it (that could be bad but it’s still my choice)
