pkatsuleas,
I hope things work out for you.
Without investing for myself during my years of employment I would have been in trouble. 42 years at a company that then went bankrupt. Lost my pension, health care etc. But my investments saved me and now I am sitting back enjoying retirement.
Moral of the story, Never rely on any one company to get you to your golden years.
You have a very good attitude and things will work out for you.
