“Wait a minute, you still do pensions here? Because New York was phasing them out. And I was like, you get a check for life? Okay, sign me up twice!.”
“I don’t have to follow the market or worry about making the perfect investment decision. That constant monthly benefit is huge.”
“Regardless of what’s happening in the general economy … this is peace of mind that is priceless for me.”
“I really can’t believe my life right now. Sometimes I just walk along, I laugh out loud.”
“URS didn’t just give me a pension, they looked out for me — like family.”
“The pension shows up in your account every month, and you don’t do a thing. You just live your life. It makes everything possible.”
“This is my new childhood. URS is paying the bills now, and I just get to live.”
“I loved my job, but now I love that my time is my own.”
“I will never outlive my security, and that to me is huge.”
“A small amount can grow, especially if you have an employer that matches. Even the smallest amount of money can blossom into something bigger if you stay the course.”
“Now I call my own shots about how I spend my time, and I’m able to do that because of URS. There’s no other way I could have done that without URS.”
“Compound interest is amazing. But, if you started investing early, it really takes off in the last five, 10 years before you retire. That’s when numbers can really start growing to eye-popping levels.”
“I appreciate the work URS does to help us get there.”
