[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For people who are paying 0.8%, you have already saved on 3.6% of your salary for over 12 years.  You can calculate how much you have earned more than people who joined fed in 2014 and later for doing the same job.[/quote]

Ok but what about the LWOP we took when we had kids?  And the student loan forgiveness programs we didn’t get to take advantage of? And the cost of before and after care we had to pay for since we couldn’t telework?  [/quote]

This! I had two kids in the early teens and blew through all of my sick, annual leave and then had to take LWOP. Guess what, I'm happy that the younger folks don't have to do that, even if I had to. This mentality of the FERS being unfair is crap. I also don't whine about the CSRS retirement folks either who had a better retirement deal. It is what it is. They shouldn't raise the FERS contributions, instead those people will retire in the next decade and then everyone will be on the same plan, until they change it again.[/quote]
