It depends on your location and your contract. 6 years in IL. and have to be at least years age of 60 to retire on it!

That's $600 a week...that's more than i make as a department head (without OT)... it's doable if you don't spend outside your means confuse

edit: Just realized you meant in Cali... so i guess there would be a little more cost in there

The cost of living here in L.A. is only high in real estate. I'm single and live in a 1 bedroom condo. I'm very happy!
