Pension Survivor benefits
I've searched the boards and haven't found a discussion on survivor benefits... and advice .
My question is are the worth it?
Basicly SO is eligble to Retiring Early from fed gov with a combined CSRS & FIRS Pension. I know we need to keep at least a partial Survivor benefit so I can always have healthcare, but some have mention we might be better off buying life insurance with the addition deduction money? We will be able to live fairly high on the hog as they say, but I'll be just ok (and very sad) if he leaves this world early on half his pension +investments
Any thoughts
