May 27, 2015 — Timing isn’t necessarily everything. But it can be very, very important. Like when you retire. By picking the right date (or dates), feds can maximize their income for that year, minimize taxes for the following year and get the most money out of their unused annual leave.

So what should you be doing right now? Five years from now? And what’s the best date to retire?

You can jump-start your retirement income-building by listening to “Your Turn” today at 10 a.m., when benefits expert Tammy Flanagan joins host Mike Causey.

Flanagan is with the National Institute of Transition Planning. She’s done hundreds of onsite sessions in agencies across the world. In short, she knows it all, including the all-important best date or dates to retire.

Also she is taking part in her own phased-retirement program, and will tell you what your options may be when/if your agency, adopts it.

Call in if you like (during the show) or email questions in advance to mcausey@federalnewsradio.com. The show is on your computer at federalnewsradio.com or, if you are in the D.C. area, you can catch us at 1500 AM.
