[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband wants to retire at 67, and which point I’ll be 60. We are both feds, and he thinks we’ll have enough money. I’m torn - on the one hand I want to spend his “golden years” with him! On the other hand, I’m worried about the possibility of needing to live 35-40 years on savings. I’m thinking one option could be a part time “fun” job, just to keep a little money coming in. Any advice for me?[/quote] How many years will you have with the Feds at 60? I would compromise and start using copious amounts of leave from 60-62 and then retire. Look into your benefits for Social Security to determine when you should start getting those (for most it pays to wait to at least 67) With health insurance from the Feds, two Fed pensions, Social Security and your TSP, you should have enough.
