With recent changes to the promotion system, I'm feeling it ever so more unlikely that I'll see a promotion to SFC due to the amount of time I've got left in ( 6 years) and competitiveness of the field. Retiring at SSG is not ideal, and seems to even be joked about alot, but is it really worth it?

Yes it is.
Tricare for Life, and 50% of E6 at 20 is more than the median mortgage payment in 46 states.
And those two benefits give you more options for your second career.

There's no reason to believe you won't retire as a SFC if you are putting the work in. Yes, your MOS is competitive, and almost all MOS are competitive once you are competing for Senior NCO. You are literally being ranked in an OML against your peers.
But if you don't make it, there is no shame in that. 20 years is a very successful career and when you retire nobody is going to call you SFC if you had made it.
