I have a relative with 35 years in the Cali teachers system and I was flabbergasted at what she could take home if she retired. Ironically she has zero zero savings and due to her poor economic decisions she is working at 71, thus saving the state a bundle.

Cal fire is crazy. 90% at 20 years, 100% at 25 years. Measured off the high three including overtime allowing for massive spiking of retirement.

By comparison federal fire gets 34% after 20 without counting overtime in the pension calculation.
