I'm certainly not complaining

This is one of the reason why I left the private sector because of its excellent retirement benefits which include 100% paid health and dental by that age. Of course, I hope to live at that age without any health issues or concern (knock on woods) and perhaps work a bit longer at maybe at 63 where I could achieve 100% of my pay. But that all depends on my kids college cost or wife.

We are allowed to buy back service. So I decided to buy 8 years worth of state service from private held jobs and military service which wasn't really that much cost wise. That why!
