The big kicker is the first 5% you invest in yourself gets 100% profit (matched) every payday. Try to find that somewhere else. Have a TSP horizon plan going and after a career, that piece will be 1/3rd of a tidy retirement. Your other pieces will be the annuity and something else you did after MIL life. Don't count on Social Security to live on. The hardest part is getting kids whose frontal lobe hasn't activated yet to understand they won't be vigorous and healthy forever, hence should work on a retirement from day one.Response by CAPT Kevin B. made Feb 2 at 2017 10:43 AM2017-02-02T10:43:46-05:002017-02-02T10:43:46-05:002017-02-02T07:12:26-05:00
