I am having a hard time getting this retirement thing figured out Craig. Working for the State everyone has an opinion and most of it contradicts. And my assigned retirement counselor has not responded. Says he is busy but will get to me :BangHead::bs_flag:

Well like other things everyone has an opinion. I'm sure you know someone who retired the last couple years who gave give you some advice. The retirement counselor is an important person to talk to. You need to have a list of questions so that you don't for get one.
In my situation the day of the month or end of the pay quarter was key.
My wife on the other hand same state different retirement system they retire on the first of the month.
Health insurance is important.
Do they or how much sick leave and vacation do they pay out.
You've been working towards this a long time and deserve to have a good understanding of what your going to recieve.
