In the worst case, tax liability can seriously impact the future financial security of either spouse and subject them to criminal sanctions. Just another [...]
Katie Couric Legs (I Mean Lies) And Other Tax Myths
Notice a couple things about the pictures on the left? Well yes, since I have been a careful observer of search patterns here at Retired Pay Analysis lately I know that the average casual “dropper-by” is disappointed because s/he didn’t get to see Katie’s legs. There’s a site that really has little else to [...]
Grab It before It’s Gone
Recently I posted a short article on how rollover IRAs had grown and matured. I was gratified by the response. Today I want to point out to the percentage of my readers who are still employed by the Federal Government and still under the CSRS a neat little benefit that far too few employees have [...]

I participate regularly in a very active Early Retirement discussion group here:
You’ll see many people with a few hundred thousand in assets and [...]
Are You Worth More Dead Than Alive?
Spousal Benefits
By Tammy Flanagan

Providing an annuity for a surviving spouse is generally a win-win situation, and the federal government has very generous benefits [...]
Just What Is Your Pay, Anyway
Ever been faced with that question? Well I certainly have, looking down the wrong end of a judge’s gavel in a contested divorce case. I was a GS-12 CSRS Civil Servant and I had just returned from an overseas assignment where I had been a temporary GS-13 and was thus allowed to keep [...]

EGTRRA Lets You Put Your Eggs In One Basket
My credit union (www.ssfcu.org) publishes a newsletter which sadly often goes in the trash once I have checked over the statement to see that no mistakes pop out. Fortunately I read last October’s issue and found a lead to a very interesting piece of legislation I had not known of — EGTRRA (Economic Growth [...]
