    It pays the state pension which is good for a tiny fraction of retirement.

    • Depends what your spending is like. Someone who earns like 30K/year should get about 65% of their earning if they retire at 65. You’d have to save like another $1500/year (including company matches) to make up the difference.

      If I kept working til I was like 70 and my pay only keeps up with inflation, I’d get about 130% of my spending via social security.
