Eunice: A .22? Oh you've gotta be kidding me. That's like bringing a knife to a gunfight.
Detective Greenly: Yeah, or bringing a really small gun... to a gunfight.

LOL Same here.

I retired from a state LE agency at age 55 with 30 years of service including my military time and am drawing 50 K per year pension with an annual 2% COLA plus health and life insurance.
A lot depends on where you live, whether you're making vehicle and other long range monthly payments, is your home mortgage paid off, what it costs to live in the area of your residency, etc. This has a lot to do with how much income you'll need to live comfortably after you retire.
Too many federal, state and local Govt. employees live from one payday to the next and don't look down the road and plan for future retirement.
If I had it to do over again I would've planned differently.
However, my home and 2 vehicles are paid off and I use one credit card which I try to pay off each month.
My wife and I eat out several times a week and we manage to live comfortably on my pension and minimum bare bones SS benefits.

If I tried that where I work, they would start the FMLA clock on me. 900+ hours of sick leave accrued, and it doesn't matter since I can only use 480 hours of it under FMLA... :mad: Originally Posted by Group9
