Benefit for working stiffs are just another form of income. You want a 401K? Guess what? You stuff
your money into it. If the company matches it, they could just as well pay you the same cash, because they are paying it out anyway. All benefits for working stiffs are just another form of compensation, that goes away forever when you do.... You want a pension as a writer? You can buy an annuity as you go, and it's probably safer that a corporate pension.
