I hear ya. Its a little nerve racking. Its exciting too though. Starting a new chapter in your life. I'm ATC FERS and I will work the holiday May 31 as my last day. One last double time day on the way out.

Worked over the spreadsheet for retirement pay/expenses dozens of time. Did it today as a matter of fact.

Its actually 36 days to go (35 not counting today). Oops.

Good luck in your new life..I'm gonna work 3 more years as a contractor at the same pay..then hang it up for good, so I didn't plan too much for living on the annuity..I'm just gonna bank it and pay off the house and cars, etc. ..and then move to Las Cruces.
 
Just a plug because some forget, although you probably are well aware, .....the CSRS VC allows one to increase his IRA up to 10% of life earnings.
 
On thread topic, "Peaceful Gains" is staying 100% iin the S fund for his "balanced" allocation. I guess he has not read Birchtree's admonition recently.
 
I have noticed yesterday and today, that the "C" fund - top 500, stocks have done better than the rest of the market. This is a fundemental shift from the past three or four months, when small caps have done better overall.

Watch for signs of shifting sands- and be prepared to move to safety in case the bottom falls out.
 
So you think this is a fundamental shift on a flight to quality? Bull to bear market, or just 3-5% pullback? Or a shift to the laggard as we enter earnings? Just wondering what magnitude you are insinuating? Thanks :)

There is something wrong with the S&P 600, they are underperforming the Wilshire 4500

Ithink just a small, small pullback here. 3-5% max. Just a wave. We need the crest of the wave to break. It's unnatural for it to be this long.
 
Boo!

There, that ought to fix it.

"S" fund was down by -1.51%.

So I figured I would scare it back into an upward direction.
