    but that’s not “never too work again” retirement, not what I would aim for

      Depending on how far you get, it can be. My retirement without disability will be approximately 50k a year. That, plus disability in a LCOL area is enough. Retirees also get COL adjustments annually.

      Current plan for me is to retire, attend law school, and work as a public defender to put my money where my mouth is as a filthy lefty, but the work is because I want to, not because I have to based on where I’m planning on retiring.

        Wait, you’re saying that in the USA you can make a 4 year tour and get 50k per year afterwards for the rest of your life? Or how long do you need to be in the military for that? Is this for all or just for special groups (like pilots)?
