Just an update. I notified my agency this week of my plans to retire. Senior management asked me to work an extra few months to mentor my millennial boss who is 20+ years younger than me. He was just promoted over me for the position. Too funny. Definitely time to move on, although I agreed to stick around for a few extra months.

Just read your first post and was going to say--YES you can retire. But I see you got to it before I could give you my advice!

At any rate, congratulations, and enjoy your retirement!

Age 56 (turn 57 January 2022)
Single no kids (no heirs so want to spend it all before I pass
TSP $1.1 million
Roth 100k
taxable savings 100k
Debt 470k mortgage (house worth 750k)
no other debt
Federal Pension 5k/month (includes health and dental insurance premiums)
Rental income from home 1k a month

I would like to keep the house although I know I should probably sell it. I love the location and rent out part of it for 1K/month. Im in the process of refinancing to a low rate mortgage P&I of $2600/mth

Thoughts?
Hi, jgman,
I have a little similar situation with you. But I got married and no rental income. Hope we can enjoy our retiring life....
