There are many retired from the US government doing the same thing. Many with only a couple years of service expecting a lifetime of benefits.
“Many with only a couple years of service expecting a lifetime of benefits.”
Their sense of entitlement is awesome. I have never known anybody else who expected a lifetime of pay and medical benefits for so little of their lifetime spent. Every company I worked for is either out of business or laid me off long before I could have retired. I have only my 401k and (yeah, sure) Social Security. I expect that eventually SS payments will be tied to means, meaning if you scrimped and saved you won’t get any.
