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&#39;t count on Social Security to live on. The hardest part is getting kids whose frontal lobe hasn&#39;t activated yet to understand they won&#39;t be vigorous and healthy forever, hence should work on a retirement from day one.
