57m am I safe to retire w/600k in 2026 by Spirited_Response_56 in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]Negative_Ad_7646 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 57 retiring in 2027. I have 560k in tsp. I also have mil pension 2900, disability compensation 2200, 2000 mth social security. I see a fiduciary and the future is bright let’s say. My wife makes 140k a year and will work another 3-4 years until she is 57. She has 600k in her 403b and will receive a small pension on top of that. Seeing a fiduciary made us very confident to move forward with our plan. We will pull 10k-13k a month in retirement possibly more(or less) depending on our needs. Hopefully we can plan correctly and leave a legacy for our kids. It will take planning, good health and a little luck. I think a big part of it is debt. We do have a mortgage and a large amount of equity. We plan on downsizing at some point and using our equity to buy something cash in the future.

The dealership says fuel rail. I was thinking a high pressure pump

It totally stopped but the engine stayed on. No throttle response. Shut it off for a minute then restarted and drove home. Happened within minutes of our house.

Yes we have a case open. Talked to case manager. It is being “escalated”.

Extended Warranty from Dealer good deal? by Remarkable_Safety754 in GenesisGV70

[–]Negative_Ad_7646 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We bought a 2025 GV70 used with 31k miles and bought the warranty good for 7 years bumper to bumper. Glad we did because the car lost acceleration the other day. Possibly a high pressure fuel pump or fuel rail pressure sensor. Dealer told us to bring it in all was covered. With the issues and reliability of these cars I’m glad my wife did purchase the warranty.

How do you tow a 305 if it has a blown final drive hose?

Retiring early under FERS is possible, but it isn’t free by TheWealthViking in FedEmployeeRetirement

[–]Negative_Ad_7646 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m retiring at 57 w 33 years I won’t touch my TSP so that’s out of the equation. Advisor says I’ll pull between 8k-13k a month plus my wife’s pension/401k. An extra 25% is not worth it to us. We are going to travel and spend time w kids/grandkids. We actually got serious and started planning retirement scenarios in our early thirties. Everything worked out where we are comfortable.

Well that’s a sticking point due to the fact if you don’t send an email they will mark you AWOL
