pension ... as a corporate or junk bond

Since most pensions are guaranteed via the government run Pension Guarantee Corporation, pensions are higher quality than corporate bonds.

How about a municipal bond, in the case of a state retirement system?

Given the low rates of interest right now, every $10,000 of annual income on such a defined-benefit package would be worth about $250,000 in capital. Now to think of it that way makes me feel quite substantial.
