Glad you are out enjoying it! Unfortunately the U.S Government does not have the best retirement plan for us folks in the Army or other branches. I will get 55% of my base pay when I retire. Works out to $2500 a month before taxes. Granted it goes up every year, problem if you just want to live off that you have to move to Mississippi or Alabama to survive. So after I retire, will have to get me another job.. I have friends that retired under the states tier1 retirement system in Alaska and they are making more money now than they did when they worked.
You can't live in that double wide with 30K per year?
