Interesting that you can receive less on an annual basis but more on a cumulative basis. Less money adds up faster as a retiree? Interesting math.
Or, are you saying that 20 years at your high three beats all those years when you were making less? If so, then yes, I already make more on an annual basis now than I did back in '86 when I started.
