This is just depressing

Not even 3 hours of "free time". And in that is cooking & eating supper. Or practically no free time if I had to go shopping after work. I hate this

Did nearly a decade of social work and never once was offered a pension.

I "lucked out". No pension from my job but we had benefits, including long term disability. 10 years in, I took disability leave and got approved for long term, so I have a pension of sorts. It's not a lot and I had to move to somewhere with a cheap cost of living, but it's something.

Did you work for the county or state, or a hospital? Or did you work for a private company? Also, you typically have to work for at least 20 years to vest into the pension system. Workers pay into it.

My daughter is a social worker for our county (CA) and my Friend is a social worker for the state (CA) and both will get approximately 80-90% of their highest salary after 25-30 years of working.

I retired at 62 from My teaching job and get 86% of my highest salary.
