Excluding my Pension, my variable retirement accounts are worth $15,798.06. Of that I’ve only invested $14,250 of my money (the rest has been my employer). So technically I’ve made 10.86% If I compare all the “free money” and my contributions (Totals 16,010.69), my portfolio is DOWN 1.32% since inception.

Pension: Approximately 40.69% of my portfolio
If I quit tomorrow, I’d just have the cash in the account.

Total: $10,837.63

• I’m currently buying additional time in my retirement accounts from when I was 16-18 years of age (service prior to membership). It’s less then a year’s worth of service credit, but I’ll be paying $33.06 for 36 more installments.

My entire portfolio (if I cashed my pension out today) is worth $26,635.69
