Hi and welcome. I have a friend who was a NM State employee and he retired and 26 years and receives about 65% of his last salary
Sounds like a good deal. He did mention that he is worried that they will soon be reducing the annual Cola amount though.

Welcome Coffmonster7,

Sounds like you are staying busy in retirement, and that is usually a good thing.

Best to you,
