Glad I retired from the federal government last year!
Retirement may not be the best option, especially if you’re still relatively young (late fifties, early-to-mid sixties). I wouldn’t assume that the value of your retirement as it presently stands will remain the same. Better to continue working and saving. At sixty, you might well last another thirty to thirty-five years.
The Obama Administration...creating and saving jobs across America!
Two decades from now, the new Hoovervilles and Shantytowns will be populated by destitute former Government Employees who retired in their fifties, assuming that pension would always be there for them.
