FED SMITH
— Can Feds Use ‘Retrograde Analysis’ to Pursue Retirement Success? – Randy Silvey  (DIERSEN: My $50,856/year Civil Service Retirement System pension is only 41% of the $122,991 that I earned in 1997 in today’s dollars. Because my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, I have at least $72,135 less each year or $6,011 less each month or $1,387 less each week or $198 less each day to spend.)
https://www.fedsmith.com/2017/08/06/can-feds-use-retrograde-analysis-pursue-retirement-success/
(DIERSEN HEADLINE: Retrograde Analysis is an approach that uses reversed methodology. Think of it as a new tool; it has the benefit of providing perspectives that most linear thinkers would normally not consider. RA is not new or even unique as a general concept. It is likely many have used it without giving it much thought, let alone a name. In our everyday lives, we have problems occur that require we take an opposite and sometimes uncomfortable point of view to resolve. That is the essence of RA.)
