My wife and I are 99% sure we're retiring on 12/28/07.

The leave policies where we are both employed allow us options that amount to either of these choices:

a. Apply all our excess sick and annual leave to time in service which increases our combined pensions by about $3000 annually.

b. Convert the maximum allowed leave to money which puts about $50,000 into deferred compensation (this makes it non-taxable until withdrawal down the road).

I'm thinking this is a no-brainer to go for the money. We're both currently healthy and and in mid/late fifties.

Any contrary opinions?
