Welcome to the Jill on Money Show. It's Tuesday, September 19th, and we are here chatting with you

about how to better manage the various aspects of your financial life. If you have a question,

just go to our website, JillOnMoney.com, click the contact us button, and let us know if you would

be willing to come on the air. Now I'm going to get straight to our listener because she's on the

clock. She's got a very busy life. So let's straight away get going and talk to Claire, who's

on the line from Texas. Hello, Claire. What's going on? What can we do for you?

Hi, I have questions about my retirement. I would like to retire, and I want to make sure that

that's possible. Okay. Tell us a little bit about yourself. I am almost 62. I'm hoping to work

until 65. I work for the federal government, so luckily I have a pension. Nice. Yeah, that'll be

about $4,000 a month gross. I also have about 1.2 million in the TSP. Great. Is that all pre-tax? Yes,

because I've been working long enough that there was no wrath when I started. I also have about

600,000 in a fidelity account. I live in a place that's not that expensive.

And so I was hoping in three more years I'd be able to retire. I am maxing out on my

contributions to the TSP, and I get a match of 5% from the government. So, and I'm also doing

the catch-up, right? Because I'm over 55. So you got 30 grand going in plus the 5% match,

and your pension is accruing, and everything is good there. Yeah. So the 4,000 a month gross

is at age 65. And are you also entitled to Social Security or not? I am. I'm hoping to not take it

until I'm 70. If I can wait till then, I will get about $4,500 a month. Wow, that's great.

And how much do you figure you spend on a monthly basis? Probably about $5,000. We're done.
