Congratulations. As you end a career with .gov my daughter is starting hers. Working with her on the FERS and TSP also a ROTH. If she sticks with it 35 years will put her at 54

Congrats! A tool I've used for yearly budgeting (in addition to sanity checks with FireCalc), is VPW.

I'd recommend that you purchase one of these posters, and put it where you can see it when you wake up -- it says "Relax and ignore the false sense of urgency". Get yours here: Sissan - Relax & Ignore
