All,
Hmmmm...has it REALLY been almost a year and a half since I last posted to my "Retirement" thread ??? Yikes !!! I HAVE been posting in a "new" thread in the "Investment Portfolio" section...AND some stuff in the "Lounge - Vacation" thread, about our upcoming "bucket list" trip to Australia and New Zealand !!!
Nothing much new to report, though ! OTOH, today was another milestone in my retirement...I applied for "early" Social Security benefits today !!! They say that's part of the "3-legged stool" of Fed retirement...FERS pension, TSP, and Social Security. I crunched the numbers, and decided NOT to wait...not sure the budget could take the hit of the FERS SS Supplement going away in a few months...
Interesting that my SS, at age 62, will be ~ $795/month MORE than my FERS Supplement was...a nice raise !!!

Thanks for the update SL!
Especially interesting is the increase in SS over Supplement. They always said that the Supplement would be lower than the amount of SS at 62.....but almost $800 more a month! Wow, that is significant.
But mostly, I am just jealous that you were able to retire before 62, and get the Supplement!
Congratulations (again) and enjoy the trip!

THANKS, USCFan !
I gotta admit...I was a little surprised at the difference, too...did NOT expect that big of a difference !!! ...and I can vouch for it...IF you can retire before 62, DO IT !!!! Assuming you're READY to retire !!! I was....
Just FYI....My FERS SS supplement was $1,110....SS at age 62 is projected at $1,905...go figure !!! IF this all works out per the numbers, I'll be a happy camper !!!!

please take pics of uluru.
it is a vortex, a giant space magnet rock. i once rented an apartment in oregon from an aussie native who married a soldier and became a citizen, way way back, during some trying times. she did me many favors more than one, she had wisdom, we had good talks. she told me about camping there and the long drive and even gave me an old wooden camp stool she sat on around the fire.
so i would appreciate some pics of the rock, thanks.
