[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your pension won’t be significant if you retire at 65 but your QOL will likely be higher and you will have the health insurance benefit in retirement. [/quote] This. Pension is negligible on your timeline. Also note your MRA will be 65 I think, maybe higher, at which point you’ll qualify for Medicare anyway, with at most a two year gap. Federal health insurance in retirement is most enticing for those with a lower MRA. Also, you just missed the two (relatively) larger annual % salary increases so don’t expect your pay base to go up much going forward. You’d have to actually get promoted (presumably into a higher stress job) to make significantly more money if you’re taking a pay hit to become a fed. Given all this I’d regard this as a very expensive way to buy more flexibility and less stress. Might be worth leaning in more now and making more money sooner and then retiring sooner or whatever.[/quote]
