[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"pensions and subsidized healthcare".... seems to be the common dominator with most of the posts...[/quote]

Yup....the value of a Fed pension PLUS the healthcare.   I make a decent living but with the present uncertainty, wish I had either a pension or healthcare which would allow  more options.  I gotta keep grinding until 65 or 67[/quote]
Exactly. Even just subsidized healthcare would be enough for us to retire earlier than 65.[/quote]

Yeah, healthcare is the piece missing for lots of people which is another sucky thing about the American system.

That said, I think you see more feds in these threads because they are fine living below their means. I mean I thought my GS-15 salary was pretty good but I had 25 years of legal experience in a particular area that’s pretty consequential for the national economy and I was being paid less than a first year associate who couldn’t find their ass from a hole in the ground. But — with some exceptions— those law firm partners spend a lot more and are less comfortable psychologically giving up the paycheck. [/quote]
