When I run FIRECalc trying to mirror my pension (it's in two stages, with a stipend before age 62) and compare it to FIRECalc using the lump sum offered, the lump sum comes out 30-40K higher. I realize keeping my pension also allows me to keep benefits (assistance with health insurance, etc) but that seems like a very large delta. I use the Bernicke reality retirement and select the same time frame (35 years, 100% success). Has anyone else noticed this? Maybe I'm not modeling my pension correctly...
