From my remembery, I remember the small death benefit. If there was or is a retirement fund you can opt into, I don't remember it.

I do remember a couple of minister's wives who, when their husband died, lost not only him, but the position of first lady and all their income too. Nothing like losing everything all at once.

In all fairness that is no different than real life for all the small business owners/self employed.

It is everyone's own responsibility to get life insurance and a retirement account - especially the self employed. If they don't they should not expect that it will magically appear when the time to use it comes.

This is true and also consider that God never promised Preachers a retirement plan in his word. Sure one can pray and perhaps God will give them a retirement plan of some kind but one should not assume that its something that normally goes along with being a Preacher.
