So you’re essentially trading the same pension to work 5 extra years is what he’s getting at. Yeah 5 years more into tsp would be 120k, and pay is still 215k you make a million more if you stay another five.
1million+120k tsp and same pension
Vs
Free life for 5 years, pension, no more quick turns, no more OT, no more being somewhere for shift work, no more nights without your 3rd wife, no more dealing with pilots, none of that. You get free time. You get to do whatever the fuck you want for 5 years before someone who stays in for an extra 5. And you both collect the same pension.
I’m out when I’m eligible, everyone should plan for that, money doesn’t mean anything when you die at 60.
