The three key retirement questions are: How much is enough? Will I ever have enough? And will it always be enough?
Federal employees benefit from pensions and Social Security, but they need to plan carefully to fill any financial gaps, often relying on assets like their TSP (Thrift Savings Plan).
Determining if you will always have enough requires balancing investment strategies between conservative and aggressive approaches to protect against market risks, inflation, and rising taxes.
Inflation and potential future tax hikes can erode retirement savings, making it important to plan for both through strategies like tax-efficient withdrawals or Roth conversions.
Federal employees with significant TSP balances need to consider long-term tax implications, such as required minimum distributions (RMDs) that could push them into higher tax brackets, and take steps to mitigate potential tax issues.
