Best advice I was given, Max out every year in the C fund and never look back. The advice I can add is put it all in the Roth.

Take the tax break now. You may not live long enough to get your Roth money. Live for today. Life happens while you are planning on doing something else. I’ve known many people during my federal career that kept counting the days till they retired. Once retired , they dropped dead within months. Time is the commodity of life. Not money

I was just talking to a friend about TSP. She gave me some great advice. Yep, I went in and changed my TSP. I only have 14 years in the government. I left for a year in half but I am giving it 6 more years and I am done. I went in and done C -fund 80%, S fund 10% and I fund-10. This video was on point I also have other investment other than my government. I don't mine taking home less money to be good when I retire.

I don't think that is a good strategy for the long term at all. Sure keep some in the G fund, but the C Fund has shown the greatest growth over the long haul. I know people who have well over 1million in the TSP and that growth wasn't from the G Fund.

Does a 60/40 split still make sense if you estimate your combined pension + SS is going to fully cover your financial needs annually? Since those together are basically going to cover my short term needs, I’m strongly considering keeping all but a couple hundred thousand in the C fund (which would me a 90/10 split for me)

I agree that if TSP is just for things you don't need every year, you can slow or stop withdrawals if the markets get bad. You can handle more volatility if your withdrawals are more flexible.
@CapCityDC
@CapCityDC 8 ай бұрын
If your annual needs are met by pension and SS then for sure an option is to consider being more risky in retirement with your TSP allocation, but only you can decide that works for you. Really depends on what your goals are for that $ and risk tolerance.

Imo... if you have 3-5 years or so left working, 90% C fund/10% G fund is good. Maybe 70/30 the final year of work then at 80 yrs old on 60% S&P500/40% Bonds in an IRA somewhere. May be a little risky but you still get S.S. and have a pension. Plus 'maybe' you also get dividends from ETF's or have a Roth IRA too at Fidelity, 1-2 years of money in savings/cd's, hopefully no/low debt and smart with spending. IF you have those things being a bit risky imo is ok with the TSP. Just depends on your risk tolerance.

Would someone elucidate a flaw in following scenario that I have thought out. I take out 10,000k from my tsp and put it into a savings account with a guaranteed interest rate of 5.5%. I know some would argue the 10% relative return of the TSP rate and I won't try to begin to think i can refute that. However I have noticed my funds lately are barely going up 3%. This withdraw would not be for anything other than that account.

Trad. vs. Roth has nothing to do with the fact that Roth grow tax free. It only has to do with taxes and fees paid when in the accumulation phase vs taxes & fees in the withdrawal phase. It's that simple. The difficult part is the question of future tax and fees. Also, if you put $10K into the traditional, it will cost more than $10k to put into a Roth, because you have to pay the taxes if $ go into Roth. Generally the way to compare is using marginal tax bracket for accumulation phase compared to Effective Tax rate during withdrawal phase. For most: Roth is better early on because you will be in lower tax rates. However, as pay increases, in later work years it may be beneficial to switch to the Traditional and get the tax deferral when your in higher tax rates. Other factors include: if you want $ to go to heirs and many other factors. Choosing investments: the general advice in this video is valid. Especially, the concept that over "Time" (really long term is a better description), the equity funds will do well (about 10% - less expenses of the funds). The mix of a fund that averages 10% plus a fund that averages 7% can provide more than the weighted proportional returns due to modern portfolio theory, while reducing risk. Try to make a plan and stick to it. Worst thing to do is to change funds and "chase" returns.

You're totally wrong. Contributions to a Roth are already taxed, not deferred. ALL earnings are tax free. If you earn $1million over your contributions, that is all tax free. In a traditional, you pay tax on the contribution, plus the earnings/gains. In your example, if that 10k turned into 100k in a Roth, it's all tax free. That's 90k tax free (less the 25% or 20% you paid on the original 10k investment). It's a no brainer. Esp if the employer, in our case the fed, has Roth. Otherwise you could not contribute to personal Roth due to IRS rules.
@rickdunn3883
@rickdunn3883 8 ай бұрын
​@@striperseeker Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear. To compare whether to put $ into a Tax Deferred Traditional or into a TAX Free Roth, is simply about the future vs present taxes, not the tax free growth. To compare you assume the same investment performance, the after tax value of the future Traditional will exactly equal the Roth value when the tax rates are the same (beginning and end). Here's why: Put $10K into a Traditional IRA and it grows to $100k, you owe say $20K in taxes 30 year later, giving you $80K in your pocket. To compare to a Roth: You need to compare an $8K Roth deposit (to the $10K traditional)...because you pay taxes on the $10K (giving you only $8K to deposit into the Roth) put into the Roth (this overly simple example assumes 20% taxes in both cases). If both cases earn the same interest the net to the investor (after tax) is exactly equal. That's why the Tax free growth is not a factor when comparing which is best. What matters is simply the % of taxes paid and when they are paid. Many people get this wrong. It's only when comparing tax due that determines which is more beneficial. For many: when starting out Roth is best (because they are in lower tax bracket typically), but as pay rises, so does their tax rates...for many later in their career it is beneficial to switch from Roth to Traditional for that reason. There are also other factors to consider. See this example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/en3YZ3aNrNFqf80

I personally do not trust the TSP and would opt for a platform that is lots more user friendly. Or just HODL GLD,SLV, and enter the or L funds on dips! Remember the tsp makes trades next day be sure you have your crystal ball fully functional to catch the volatility!
