So, I tried the FIREcalc and it showed 100%. I guess it's good to go then?

Congrats on your retirement and thank you for your dedicated service. Looks like your planning paid off for sure. I guess I do not know enough about your retirement plan; although, not sure why you are not eligible for SS, unless you didn’t pay into the system? Either way, with a $13,500 monthly pension plus your assets ……you are Good2Go [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
Thanks, buddy, appreciate it. We, public safety, don't pay into the SS system or SS tax with my agency. I might get a little bit SS from the previous agency and college jobs. However, will get a nice 2& COLA pump from the get-go in April. It's good2go!!!
Thanks, buddy, appreciate it. We, public safety, don't pay into the SS system - just paid into our retirement system. I might get a little bit SS college jobs before LEO career. However, will get a nice 2 COLA pump from the get-go in April. It's good2go!!!
Yeah, I retired 30 year US Navy and did the civil service thing. Ironically, we are also at about the same retirement income (except I am 9 years your senior) until I decide to take my SS then fun really begins
Take care
Us military folks always forget to add up the housing money we received all of those years. Also most 20+ folks I know are receiving at least some VA disability which is also tax free. The thing that I like to mention to non military, non LEO people is that all of our pension information is public record along with the payscales. No secrets. Just do your time and collect the pension check.
Yeah, no disability here lol.
I'm currently in the review process for disability retirement. Likely will be approved within 6-12 months with all my documented IODs. Still going through treatment. Just have to wait and see.
So are you still active? I hope it works out for ya!
True, I was just another clown in the circus. Miss some of the crew but the dog and pony show is getting ridiculous and crowd is getting rough.
