I am scratching my head myself about that pension plan. This must be some sort of executive pension plan (C-level executive), it's about twice as good as the ones I have seen so far. Ninety thousand a year for 30 years of service - I would double-check with HR that this is true and then celebrate like crazy.
   Their income tax rate is also really low for such high earners.      
   But their spending is pretty robust, it seems to me. 2k/month for food for three people,  1.5k/month for cars, etc. They seem to have the 'you have to spend a lot to make a lot' philosophy. With their income, though, they could set themselves a higher goal - to become a high-net worth couple and enjoy a retirement significantly better than what the 90k/year in future dollars will afford them. But I guess it's always the tradeoff between good life today vs. saving for future goals.
