Debating early retirement

[ladysgt06]

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR---now that I have got that out of the way. DOC is going to hell in a hand basket and ok---I am one who has just had it up to HERE with DOC----I am not that old but I am thinking of retireing and going back to school.

Would someone that is closer to retirement than myself tell me who I can call to find out what is in my retirement/what I would stand to lose if I retire early/etc. Any information would help!!

you can call FRS at 888-738-2252. I would recommend you get into the investment plan be 4 you call it quits. that way your money keeps growing. Look at the 4 options under the pension plan they all benefit the state none of which are in your best interest or your families. you have no beneficiary or they will only pay a reduced reate to a beneficiary for up to ten years. The more I look at things the State should be the ones we guard. they are the real crooks.

Of all the other states, Florida does have one of the better retirement systems.

like I said they are crooks!!!!! someone posted on another board about what do you want with only a H.S. diploma. well some of us have more than a H.S. diploma and we enjoy our jobs and deserve to be treated with respect. the dept. has been demanding and demanding for years it's about time they start listening to us. and treat us fairly. that's why the turn over is so high, thats why people take advantage of the State when ever they can and get what they can. the state derserves it all. I hope 500 people go on workmans comp with this physical thing. I hope more people leave the state and call in the national guard.
WWWWhhhhOOOOOO. I went to a job fair yesterday and a security company that has a contract with the gov't housing immigration detainees is paying 22.00 an hr with benefits for the employee at no charge. the fee comes in for a family plan. I put my application in. I am vested and in the investment plan. Oh and unlimited overtime you do the math.$$$$$$$
