We feel behind.


You make me want to barf with the faux concern.

37 and a little less than 90k. I think I am way behind but I figure I still have time to catch up.

I'm not sure why you included the college fund or expected inheritance? (Wasn't asked... so I'm curious why you'd add that).

This is why I get upset that there is still a Federal pension. That money could be spent on feeding and educating children. And, I do value government workers. I just wish the model would change, now that our circumstances have changed. Flame away.


So you cherry-pick the "richest" Fed on this thread to make your point? There are like less than 1% of Feds who have TSP accts of a 1 mil or more. OP probably made the bulk of their money in private sector and was smart enough to get into the govt for the stability and/or mission.



Actually I just realized those were joint savings and CSRS means PP has been a Fed for over 25 years and might have a high earning spouse who works outside of govt. Or a nice inheritance.
