Q. Regarding your very informative retirement article published on Nov. 15, (Federal Times), could you please tell me when this same scenario will be happening in the coming years? You see, for those of us who are not yet eligible to retire in 2010 or 2011, the information will be very useful in planning for our retirement year/date.
A. Here are the leave year ending and beginning dates through 2020:
Leave Year Ending Date Beginning Date
2012 January 12, 2013 January 13, 2013
2013 January 11, 2014 January 12, 2014
2014 January 10, 2015 January 11, 2015
2015 January 09, 2016 January 10, 2016
2016 January 07, 2017 January 08, 2017
2017 January 06, 2018 January 07, 2018
2018 January 05, 2019 January 05, 2019
2019 January 04, 2020 January 05, 2020
2020 January 02, 2021 January 03, 2021
As you can plainly see, the retirement planets won’t come back into alignment until after 2020. That’s what makes 2010 and 2011 such good years to retire.
