My view on retirement funding is that it's better to save and invest in your own name than delegate it to a pension fund.

Dunno - I don't think I've ever truly grasped the "employee security net" mindset
For me, I'm quite comfortable taking responsibility for my own future rather than delegating it and having the warm, but ultimately useless comfort of someone other than me to blame if it doesn't work out.
