Compares a pension's lump-sum offer with its monthly annuity: the payout rate the pension implies, the age the invested lump sum runs out paying the same amount, the steady return the lump sum must earn to match the pension to a planning age, and the odds of being alive at each point on the IRS unisex mortality table, with a verdict.
