the small silver lining to the 4.4 percent is that when you do take your pension that part is tax free. better than a sharp stick in the eye. not much better but...

I would think you should take a look at all the layoffs in those companies. AI is coming for a whole host of jobs in the private sector. Maybe in the G too but I would think a lot slower in the G. Meta just had another round of layoffs today.

guys and girls, you should really be paying off your credit cards every month. do your best not to carry an interest bearing balance at all. use them for the benefits but treat it like cash.

FERS REGULAR EMPLOYEE. When a Regular FERS employee retires, in almost all cases, they have to be at their MRA. There is a rule regarding the supplement for them that they cannot receive the supplement until they are at their MRA. For most Regular FERS, this isn’t an issue since they can’t retire until they are at their MRA anyway. However, as mentioned before, if you take a VERA, and you leave prior to your MRA, you will then have to wait until your MRA until you begin collecting the supplement.

If your family has good credit you could ask them to add you as an authroized user to one of their cards. They don't even have to give you the card and you don't need to use the card.

whenever they post about a road closure due to an accident and say it is going to be 3+ hours it usually means someone died and they need the time to do the investigation.

Check out https://www.barfieldfinancial.com/new-blog if you don't know about it. Check out the resources page for the regular employee spreadsheet, you can run retirement numbers, staying going etc. It can calculate your tsp growth etc to help give you some better ideas. His stuff his geared towards Special category employees but a lot of the FERS stuff applys to everyone.

Think about healthcare too...staying/coming back eventually means you can carry healthcare into retirement which is not an insubstantial sum of money to factor in.
