Do you know all your Federal Benefits?

🤒 Most federal employees don't realize that unused sick leave can directly increase their FERS pension.

When you retire, your sick leave balance is converted into additional creditable service.

🗓️ Roughly 174 hours equals one extra month added to your years of service, and there's no cap on how much can be credited.

One catch: this only applies to immediate retirements. If you leave federal service before you're retirement eligible, that balance is forfeited.

🔎 It's one of the most overlooked benefits in the federal system. Don't leave it on the table.

Freedom is a word we hear a lot on Memorial Day.
But it doesn’t just live in parades and ceremonies.
It shows up in the quiet, everyday choices we make - especially in retirement.

You can spend years saving and investing…
and still feel unsure what that freedom will actually look like when the work chapter closes.

What will your days feel like?
What will matter most?
Who do you want to spend that time with?

I’m Peggy Farnworth with Boise Retirement Coach, and I help people turn that idea of freedom into a real, lived plan for retirement - right here in the Treasure Valley.

If you’re within a few years of retirement, what’s one way you hope your life feels freer in that season? I’d love to hear it in the comments.

But retirement planning isn’t just about finances. It’s also about health, lifestyle, and creating a better quality of life for the years ahead. In this video, Peggy shares why improving your health can be one of the most important investments you make for your future.

Healthy habits today can lead to a more fulfilling — and less stressful — retirement tomorrow.

Retirement isn’t just about money—it’s about connection.

One of the biggest risks people face after leaving the workforce is loneliness and isolation. When your job has been your main source of social interaction, what replaces it?

In this clip, Peggy L. Farnworth shares a real-life example of how staying socially connected can transform retirement—and why it matters more than you think.
