    Im starting a federal job at 34. Planning to stay till 62 to retire and get the 1.1% and collect early social security. Putting the 5% into TSP to get the full match hoping in the next 28 years it builds up enough.

    A young employee also needs to know their GS salary will never increase enough to buy a house. Home prices keep going up about 10% a year, but GS salaries may go up 1%. You'll be heading in reverse.

      Whenever people start thinking the prices will keep going up at crazy levels, there is a big chance that there will be a correction. I've seen major housing pullbacks three times in my adult life. My advice would be to save up as much as you can and be ready for a pullback.

      Put 10% the gov will match you 10% so you're basically putting in 20% just so you know the government will tax what they match. But i believe they will match you up to 10%. Also don't leave your money in one fund group, look into broadening your portfolio.

    Great topic and information, as always. I want to confirm something for others coming up on retirement. I am retiring on Dec 31st. I received an email from the National Finance Center a few days ago that told me to not expect my first retirement check for 8 to 12 weeks after my retirement date. I think it's important for anyone preparing to retire to have money at hand (ie... in checking or a savings account) to cover their expenses during that 2-3 months lapse between retiring and receiving initial annuity payments. I learned that from you and your channel, and took care of that before I retired,

    I am retiring in 12 years. I do have a question that WHY--in this day and age, it still takes so many weeks before the first retirement check kicks in? Even if all the I’s are dotted and computers are working overtime, it still takes forever. First check should come in two weeks after my last standard paycheck

    I would like to be a federal employee after earning 6 figures in industry for 5-8 years (I’m currently just an engineering student LOL so I have lofty dreams). But it’s super important to me to at some point help and service my country with my skill set.

      Get a government job to get into tech. Do it for a few years and then look for private jobs where you can either get into making 6 figures a year at a FAANG company, or as a contractor do that you can still use your clearance and maintain government and private privileges

      That's not out of the realm of possibility at all as long as you're willing to move to the DC area. It's actually pretty common.

    When can a spouse start spousal social security and can they switch to their social security at a later date? Thanks so much for your information.

    • @PlanYourFederalBenefits
      @PlanYourFederalBenefits  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Generally spouse's can't switch between the two benefits. They can only choose when to start benefits and will get whatever is higher, their own benefit or spousal benefits.
