CSRS or FERS?
I still have a few bills I want to reduce before retiring. But in October of 2012 I will have 42 years service (CSRS). A good time to leave.

Just in time for the end of the Mayan calendar! Wouldn't it suck if the world ended and you had worked forty-two years, only to enjoy retirement for two months?:nuts:CSRS or FERS?

Actually I am thinking maybe May of 2012. I will get serious and start crunching numbers around mid 2011.
I could care less about the Mayan calendar as long as the Julian calendar goes out to a few more centuries. :laugh:

FERS
I have no debt. 29 years of service. I'm 51 years old.

Tough to be in stocks today and only one IFT left.
You've got that right!! Decisions! Decisions!
Can todays move up cover the losses from the 17th and the 21st? I hope so. September has been interesting so far. There has only been three days that the CS&I have been negative at the same time. Two of the three I mentioned above the third was the first of the month. The tough choice is if the markets have a great day today do I play it safe and jump back to safety the next day or two or ride it out and gamble a little bit. I need six more percent and I am back to my ending balance of 2007. Let the games begin. :laugh: :nuts:

I hope you do get a good day today. as you know I retreated to safety the 16th, yet I am retired, and getting really freaked out about how our government is racking up the debt.

Sorry
Yesterday was a good day. This morning futures show some promise.
In my real account I am less than 1% from reaching double digit profit for the year and less than 5% away from recovering all my losses since the beginning of 2008. Now comes the tough part. With another good day or two should I pull back into the "G"arage to protect what I have been lucky enough to accomplish so far this year or do I follow the FRTIB's rhetoric and become a Buy & Hold believer? There is a third option however, I could watch what some of the respected leaders on this MB are doing and decide then and there if I will make a move. :suspicious:
What to do, What to do???????????

Thanks WorkFE,
The third option is actually my preference. The problem is, there are times I do not have time to follow some of the leaders (away from my desk or a last minute decision) so I end up a day behind.
Went home early to catch up on some yard work. Checked the market at about 1:30 and all was good in the world.:laugh: Get back in the house around 3:30 and check again and "WHAT IN THE WORLD JUST HAPPENED". 
Who opened their mouth at about 2:30EST and said something stupid? The market did a complete flop and continued from there. Guess I am giving back what I earned yesterday and then some.
The market giveth and the market taketh away and away and away and away............
DANG!!!!!!
