it to get independent work as a contractor outside of these kind of projects? matched

I think one of the most difficult things about retirement planning is like you said, there are so many variables and many of us for our sense of security want to be able to say, This is exactly how much I'm gonna need and this is exactly how much I save, but it just doesn't always work out like that. matched

That feels like the theme of your question. matched

You know, I have this pension, I don't know how much I'm gonna make in the future, I don't know how secure my job is, how much do I need to save and how do I figure that all out? matched

So I think matched

One of the first places to start is with the things that are within your control. matched

And then something Sean is always preaching is just kind of projecting different kinds of outcomes. matched

So if I save X amount, maybe you do a projection with a more conservative pension. matched

And then maybe you also do one with the best case scenario and you do something kind of somewhere in the middle. matched

Because the truth is you can't predict the future and you just don't know where you're gonna land. matched

But having kind of different scenarios and different pathways. matched

can kind of maybe help you feel a bit better about it. matched

Well matched

Then you're out of work for more than a year. matched

I hope that doesn't happen. matched

Right. matched

But one of the dangerous things about living in the, I guess, shadow of the worst case scenario is sometimes you don't live because you're always in fear of the worst thing that's gonna happen. matched

A year saving is wonderful and amazing to have. matched

I do not have a year's worth of saving. matched

So congratulations to you. matched
