42 months before I can retire in 2023. My kids will be 16 and 21. They can be on my medical till 26. My oldest is 28 now so he’s on his own.
My exwife has agreed to put the younger two on her medical if I split the cost (right now the kids are on mine) so I can retire on time (need age 48 and 25 years). I will be 48.5 when I get to 25 years. Full pension.
I’m set up to be able to live off my pension.

But if I work another 5 years, I could have 350k+ in an annuity fund. Or work another 8 years (the max) and have even more and retire at 56.5. I’d lose that money if I work more than 8 years.

Decisions, decisions. Not sure if I want to work another 5 or 8 after I’m eligible to retire. This is a young person’s job.

I already have two grandkids and one on the way. I’d like to be able to visit them more than three times a year (my son is stationed at Fort Bragg, NC).
