He's got a guaranteed, significant, pension and half a million dollars net worth with decades of working ahead of him. It is "Mustachian"? Heck no. Is it fiscally irresponsible? Nah.

Kavanaugh is 53 so he's got to be on the supreme court for 27 years to get that full pension!!! Maybe the supreme court justice pension economics needs to change so that there can be more turnover among justices.
In general, govt employees (which includes politicians) do not receive high salaries.
That article says that age plus years of service to the supreme court must equal 80 to get lifetime full pension. He could retire at 67 to meet those standards
Yes, because the article covers every part of the relevant Federal law, it's definitely not some quick donate that doesn't account for cases of judges with both Federal and public experience etc.. Oh wait, it doesn't.. it is just a simplified explanation that doesn't cover every scenario. Feel free to read the law (which, FYI, doesn't make any distinction between which court me they serve on...

Not sure where the hostility/snark comes from but here's another 10 second google search that says age 68 for full pension for this dude. On a trivial topic, i say that my estimate was good enough. Meaning, even if he's not mustachian (not that anyone needs to be...we're the weird ones, remember?) he can retire, with lots of guaranteed income, at a relatively normal age.

Not too shabby for old Kav.
Well, the "snark" came from being told I'm "wrong" effectively in afox's post, followed by you not being right because you also decided not to evaluate the source of your information, and I'm in a bad mood from my commute. As such, I apologize for my tone.
Personally, I like to propagate facts. So, when I said he was going to get a nice, guaranteed pension, I wasn't lying or incorrect because I made sure I used decent sources, knowledge, and understanding (namely the law itself and my limited education on legal matters). Kavanaugh, already having served for 10 years on the federal bench, has a guaranteed pension. For future reference, the law that determines when he can retire is
28 USC 371. It does not distinguish between periods of service in a particular job, but for any "justice (SCOTUS) or judge of United States). He's currently eligible (with 13 years of service, having been on the federal bench since 2006), for full retirement at age 67. In two years, he'll be eligible for full retirement at age 65 since he'll have 15 years of service.
I'm honestly completely unaware at how the latest "article" linked came up with their numbers as they're completely wrong; neither another 15 years nor age 68 equate to any "minimum" requirement for him to get his full salary per the law, even if you try to read the law and think the time of service restarted when he went from being a circuit judge to a justice.
