Exactly. If our pensions don't get stolen by the Wall Street shark we have for a governor and we actually end up drawing our pensions at their projected worth, we'll do ok. Not much as far as lots of travel and so on, but we won't starve. If we get to keep our pensions and the market doesn't crash badly, we'll actually be pretty comfortable and money shouldn't be a huge concern.

The nightmare scenario is that somehow our "guaranteed" pensions shrink significantly or disappear altogether *and* the market crashes.
