Re: [TSPStrategy] Off Topic: Pension Question

Re: [TSPStrategy] Off Topic: Pension Question

The solution would be to pay for sick leave like they do for annual leave! A lot of employees sacrifice for years going to work sick or with sick family members!

Yeah, he was technically wrong when he said that they "can't" deny sick leave, but I'm sure he's thinking of his own agency's rules or union contract.  What they can't do is treat you differently than everyone else for no reason.  That's not even getting into the FMLA legality.

 

Look, when you're 50 or 60 some years old, it's not going to be difficult to get your doctor to say you need less stress in your life.  Stress kills.  Take a day off every week and go get a massage.  Or go to the chiropracter (and get a massage).  Or go for a hike.  Or go to the beach.  Or go sit on your porch.  It doesn't matter what you're actually doing if your doctor gives you a note saying you are under his/her care and that you need Mondays and Fridays off every week to improve your health.

Re: [TSPStrategy] Off Topic: Pension Question

Re: [TSPStrategy] Off Topic: Pension Question

I did 38 years of government service. Worked a lot of extra hours that I never got paid for so to me it was a wash. Also, my supervisors really didn't have an issue with it. Sometimes I did actually go to a dentist or doctor but instead of going back to work I went home.

Re: [TSPStrategy] Off Topic: Pension Question

Well I just retired in December 2019. I used like 24 days of sick leave during 2019. The reason is you only get credit for sick leave in 30 day increments. I used  a table to convert unused sick leave into additional service. If I had not done that I would of given uncle sam 24 days of sick leave. So would have lost them.

Wow what horrible advise. This is literally screwing over your peers. You do not have a 4 day a week job you have a 5. If you have that much stress then find a different job.

 

I do not care how politically incorrect that sounds, this advise is selfish!

Yeah, he was technically wrong when he said that they "can't" deny sick leave, but I'm sure he's thinking of his own agency's rules or union contract.  What they can't do is treat you differently than everyone else for no reason.  That's not even getting into the FMLA legality.

 

Look, when you're 50 or 60 some years old, it's not going to be difficult to get your doctor to say you need less stress in your life.  Stress kills.  Take a day off every week and go get a massage.  Or go to the chiropracter (and get a massage).  Or go for a hike.  Or go to the beach.  Or go sit on your porch.  It doesn't matter what you're actually doing if your doctor gives you a note saying you are under his/her care and that you need Mondays and Fridays off every week to improve your health.

Just FYI. Do not act on this. Maintain your allocation. Rebalance according to your plan.

Good luck,

That's for unscheduled sick leave, i.e., calling in sick.  We're talking about scheduling sick leave.  If you don't know, you're able to use sick leave for scheduled healthcare appointments, which can include dental, vision, chiro, even massage appointments if they're for medical reasons.

This.

 

So, early in a normal fed career, Roth is DEFINITELY the better option.  Late in your career, traditional is DEFINITELY the better option.  The only question is when to switch from one to the other.  Also, changes to the tax code (the last couple of years of lower taxes likely made Roth a better choice for many) need to be considered.
