retirement pensions

Post-career income stream

Retirement pensions are regular payments made to people who have stopped working due to age.

These may come from government programs, employer-funded plans, or personal savings accounts.

The term emphasizes that the pension specifically supports someone in retirement rather than disability or other circumstances: She lives comfortably on her retirement pension.
