With a retirement from the FD I'm looking at 25years I'll be 46 and can do what I want after work wise. Still undecided on doing 25 or 30. But it will depend on where I am and where the department is by then. I will also decide on the drop when the time comes but can't see passing it up. Maxed out at 33years I will only be 54 so I can be pretty much set and still young enough to pursue other avenues. But this is still a LONG ways out.

Retired at 58 and never looked back (so far) after 11 years. If I had to give you "young'uns" some advice, it would be to load up your 401(k)'s/IRA's and never check the balances until you're within a few years of retiring. A simple rule of thumb that worked for me is your age minus 100 in stocks/equities and the rest in fixed, i.e. bonds, cd's, bond funds, etc.
