Doesn't it come with healthcare for the family? That's the biggest cost in retirement.A military pension after 20 years is around 40-50% of your pay so you either need to get another job, spend way less money or have savings.Some professions (such as miltiary and police) typically retire after 20 years. Public school teachers in Pennsylvania typically retire after 30 years. Retiring young is not the norm, but it is not uncommon. I would just say we decided to retire early.
