Just accepted a job that offers a pension. Should I change my ROTH IRA strategy?
I officially got hired on and starting mid October I will start contributing to my pension. I enjoy the organization I work for and the work I’m doing.
I’m 33 and currently max out my ROTH IRA and have it invested in Total US/Total Ex-US funds. For those who have a pension how do you handle your IRA or overall asset allocation knowing a steady income stream is coming later?
Pension breakdown:
• Fully vested after 5 years
• 2% COLA per year once retired
• 7.75% pre-tax employee contribution per paycheck
• Employer contributes 7.79%
• Pension formula:
– 1% at age 52 (Early Retirement)
– 2% at age 62 (Normal Retirement)
– 2.5% at age 67+ (Enhanced Retirement)
