I see. so basically, you're on your own when it comes to retiring? fair enough. - znufrii Nov 13, 10:11 5
- Well unless you go for a private pension, under the public scheme you get about $240 a week non contributory, and around $300 contributory. -- nm - Loyola Nov 13, 10:16
- also, how prevalent are company pensions, still? -- nm - znufrii Nov 13, 10:14 3
  - I would estimate they're dropping in prevalence. -- nm - Loyola Nov 13, 10:17 2
    - I know they have been in decline here, for quite some time, as companies opt into offering 401(k) plans instead. -- nm - znufrii Nov 13, 10:21
    - Couldn't be sure though, might look it up as a matter of interest. -- nm - Loyola Nov 13, 10:18
so, what do you have? -- nm - Andie - 41 shopping days till X-mas Nov 13, 10:09 1
- Contributory, and non contributory schemes under the umbrella of PRSI but defined so as not to pass 4% I think at the moment of gross taxable salary. - Loyola Nov 13, 10:12
