“Even Social Security and FRS benefits combined will provide you with only a portion of your pre-retirement pay. That’s why it’s important to have personal savings in your retirement nest egg.”

• In the 1950s, therewere 30 peopleworking for every one person receiving benefits.

• Today there are only 3 workers for every beneficiary.
