My Dad said that when he retired in '85 he was making, "....a little over eighteen an hour." He was a maintenance mechanic, like me. My plant is non-union, but I make a little over twenty nine an hour. However, he also had a union pension for life that he and my Mom lived fairly well on until they both passed five years ago.
I have a 401k that may or may not be worth a shit 15 years from now and the fading hope that the bastard politicians who scream "socializm" at SS and Medicare won't kill it before I get to use it.
