I'll get about half my salary in a pension (indexed to inflation) upon retirement. I can retire at age 50 with 20 years' service (which I have). This is only for the Foreign Service.

Upon retirement, I'll continue in the government-subsidized health plan.

I've also got a 401K to which the government contributes 5% of my salary. It's done pretty well over the last 15 years.
