Agreed. At my old job, they matched up to 5% of your salary. I was doing 10% on my own and with their 5%, I saved a total of 15% for the nine years I was there

At my current job, they contribute 5% right off the bat. And then match up to 4% of what I put it. So I'm putting 13% here.

At the end of the day, it won't be as nice of a pension as my wife's teacher pension, but it won't be chopped liver either

So with that, CPP and OAS, I should have a decent retirement
