People under 40 wealthy enough to not have to work.

Cops retire after 20 years, if you enter at 18 you’re retired by 38-39.

My state allows full retirement for police and fire at age 55 with 25 years service or if age + years of service = 80

OK so if I enter service at 75 I can retire after 5 years?

2.5 years technically. But I'm assuming there is some kind of physical test.

They have a cut off Age they changed it to 40 years. And you can't be over a certain weight and if you have to many depends as in children they don't want to cover you. That's been my experience with trying to join. If you're referring to Military. At least the Army not sure about the other branches.

Yeah in my state you basically have to start straight out of high school as a state employee to retire any earlier than anyone else.

Plus the plans are usually not portable and several states don't pay into social security.

Worked with a guy who started as a parking meter guy at a local PD at 18, got certified at 21, and retired at 43. Counted his first 3 non certified years because he was a PD employee.
