Believe it or not, my job offers a pension (I'm younger, retirement is about 40 years away)!

A defined benefit pension? You work in the private sector?

Sure do. They also provide 401k and Roth. They match those as well. I am very lucky.

Wait, they give a defined benefit pension just based on years of service, plus they match 401K and Roth contributions? That’s pretty amazing. Is it like a small tech startup that needs to hire geniuses?

What percentage of your holdings are from accounts larger than 250K?

Not sure how to answer this question? I'm just a baseline call center agent. it's all held from my paycheck, hope that makes sense. It's not pulled from an account?

Oh, you may not have access to that information. I was referring to the failed bank in Silicon Valley. The FDIC guarantees all deposits up to 250 K. So the consumer can know that even if their bank fails, deposits up to 250K are safe. Apparently, that bank had 93% of their accounts over 250K. But we are bailing them out after all. Supposedly it’s not the government (ie taxpayers) that are bailing them out, but it’s the banks (ie customers) who are bailing them out. But I think the banking sector is safe. We won’t let it fail.
