About GovWorker
Hi! Thanks for reading my “about” page.
I started working for the federal government when I was just 18 years old and liked it so much I never left.
Throughout my federal career, I’ve worked with countless fellow federal employees who didn’t understand how their FERS benefits worked. As a result, they didn’t always make great financial decisions.
Prior to starting my blog, I had many conversations with coworkers about how their benefits work. I wanted to help even more federal employees, so I started this website.

This is a personal blog
I primarily write this blog to share our journey to financial independence. I hope that by sharing our journey to FI we can inspire other government employees to leave before their minimum retirement age.
I want to make it clear that the opinions expressed in this blog are solely my own. They do not represent the view of any government agency.
Advertisements
Despite what I imagined when I started, blogging is kind of expensive. There are hosting fees and domain registration fees. Also, there are software tools and other expenses that I use to make my blog look half-way respectable. I have advertisements on the website through Google Adsense. I have no control over what shows up on the website and have little idea on how to only make the advertisements show up in non-obtrusive places. I apologize for their inconvenience. However, they do make blogging more affordable.
Affiliate links
Occasionally, I’ll link to products or services that I enjoy. In some of these cases, I’ll use an affiliate link, where I will make a small amount of money if you click and/or buy the products. When I use an affiliate link, I’ll notify you it is an affiliate link. When you click one of those links, I may make a small amount of money if you purchase something after clicking through the link.
All of my affiliate links are through Amazon.com. As required by the program, I must state that
I am a participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for this website to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
