another alternative with defined benefit plan that does not include adjustments for inflation is to take a lump sum if available. often you can find a better annuity offered by companies with the lump sum than that offered in the defined benefit plan. the other alternative is to invest the lump sum. defined benefits are nice to have but if no inflation adjustment,(i assumed most do not?) based on today's life expectancies i wonder how helpful these pensions will be in twenty years.
