Railroad has a separate checking account (like social security) and when I retire I will be getting 6,000 a month and my wife will get 3,000 a month. So I'm set for retirement. I don't pay into social security and I'm glad I don't. It's an IOU system. RR has their own unemployment, disability and retirement fund. It's great knowing I'll be getting that with a 401k. I feel that I'm set.

When I worked for the Federal Government, Navy, Air Force, Army Aviation, Corps of Engineers, I, like all other Federal employees paid 7% of my salary towards an annuity which I received after 30 years. While I worked I also paid for my and my wife and children's health insurance. We earned sick leave 4 hours every two weeks and if you didn't get sick you could accumulate a lot of hours for which they paid half of the value at retirement. If you took too much sick time, you would be asked to provide a doctor's letter explaining why you had to take so much time off. We also earned annual leave which you could accumulate to a maximum of 30 days if you didnt take many vacations. You would be force to take annual leave once you reached the maximum.
