Federal Workers
(Civil Service Employees in U.S. Federal Government Departments and Agencies)

Why Federal Workers Struggle with Retirement

Federal workers dedicate their careers to serving the public, but often their own financial futures are left uncertain. In the United States, many federal employees face unique challenges when it comes to retirement planning. A common misconception is that their Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) pension and Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) alone will provide a comfortable retirement. While these plans offer a foundation, they frequently fall short of covering all retirement expenses, especially with the complexities of federal benefits. Additionally, the intricacies of the TSP, Social Security, and other supplemental plans can be overwhelming. With numerous options available, federal workers often struggle to determine which plan best aligns with their individual needs and long-term financial goals. This lack of clear guidance and personalized support leads to missed opportunities and unnecessary financial stress. At Retirement Educators, we understand these challenges and are committed to empowering federal workers to achieve a secure and fulfilling retirement.
