What we teach

The decisions that shape your retirement

Federal benefits are generous and complex. We help you get the big ones right, before they're locked in for good.

Your FERS pension

Your high-3, survivor elections, and the best day to retire, including the 1.1% multiplier at 62.

Your TSP

Contribution strategy, fund mix, Roth vs. traditional, and turning your balance into income.

FEHB & FEGLI

Keep health coverage into retirement, coordinate Medicare, and dodge the FEGLI cost-cliff.
