Did any former EY employees vested in the pension take the lump sum pay out? Is it a good idea?

I’m in the process of doing this. I think it makes sense. Taking the lump sum and investing it will give you enough of a growth to get to the same value that leaving it will give you. But if you die before you can actually start benefitting from it as a monthly payment in retirement… you don’t get shit. My logic was .. why wouldn’t anyone just take the lump sum and control their own destiny. It’s not like leaving with ey comes with an unbeatable growth promise. Also, talk to a financial planner. I believe ey provides one. I didn’t use them. I have my own.

Fair ? Good? Bad ?
Thanks

Higher offers at 27-28 with more fixed pay is from contract and hire/fire type companies. Mostly indirect hiring instead of direct employment with the final employer, means higher pay with lower jon security - we get little more pay, companies get the option to let go with ease later!

Advice and/or consolation anyone? My wife and I (both above average health 30year olds) were trying for 11 months before getting pregnant and then had a week 5 early miscarriage a few months back. If the stress and surprise of just how difficult it apparently is to get pregnant wasn’t enough, the miscarriage put us over. We got back to it and have been trying for the last 2 months again, still no luck. We’re freaking out… all we want is a family. Any similar stories? Advice? 😢
