Great tips. I am already doing all 7. I'm 60 and have been maxing out for 5 years. I've had my money in the C & S funds since I started in civil service and it has grown a lot. It's frustrating not being able to put more in. So I opened a brokerage account and also a ROTH IRA. Looking forward to retiring in 1-4 years depending on how things are going. I enjoy your videos. Thanks!

@@Jay-gs2ze I contributed into Traditional TSP for the last 25 years because every financial advisor said, "you'll be in a lower tax bracket when you retire." Well, guess who's in the same tax bracket after retirement! It would have made way more sense to pay those taxes in the year I earned that money, so good on you for investing in Roth from this point forward. Next thing on your radar? Start Roth conversions as soon as you're 59-1/2 (i.e. no penalty). Pay those taxes as soon as you're able. You have 4-1/2 years to convert it all. No one advised me to do that, and now in retirement, I'm doing Roth conversions AND having to pay extra Medicare each year while doing so. Keep in mind, your Medicare premiums after retirement are based on your income levels two years prior, so your income level at 63 will affect your Medicare Premiums at 65...

I did pretty well with real estate investments. Value has skyrocketed since getting in during the last bubble pop, but passive income is nice to have regardless of the taxes while getting deductions for depreciation and deductions for upkeep and renovations. Still max out TSP contributions, but for most, those options are highly sound ways to plan for that retirement. Great information as always! Hope your New Year goes better than any in the past.

We have been doing the same...My husband did several deployments (civilian) and we took the overtime and extra "Danger Pay" and bought 3 condos, a townhouse and a small farmette on a river. We also maxed out our TSP every year since he started 22 years ago and now have about $1,100,000. ( was 1,380,000 not too long ago...oh well). It was hard to see those losses, however we are in very good shape and plan to stay in the TSP for many more years even if he retires in a couple of years. I think it will go up soon and I am excited to be buying stocks "on sale". It is part of what an economy does..this will happen once in a while.

If you wanted to do some good, you could do a video explaining what a mess the new TSP web site is. For example, where will 1099s be posted in the new site so that members can print them out and prepare their tax returns? Why isn't there some secure message capability so a member can pose a question to the TSP? The TSP cannot be reached by phone, so the sole way to contact the TSP is by postal mail.

WHY did they even do a mutual fund window? With all the fees and rules, it is an option to stay away from. But from a marketing perspective the TSP can say they offer mutual fund window and stop there, without the details. Did you know if you die and have money in the mutual fund window, ALL OF IT GOES TO CORE FUNDS no matter how much it is down.

If the market gets hit hard like 2019 and Covid. BUY BUY BUY with all you can. I don’t normally max but because of this strategy I am far ahead of my peers.

Roth is a luxury. If can afford to put $10,000 in a trad TSP, you can only afford to put $7000 in a Roth. When you have $1,000,000 in a trad TSP, you only have $700,000 in the Roth. To me it's a wash, unless you have the luxury of maxing out the Roth in after tax $$. Pay me now or pay me later is the ques. The trad TSP is based on your tax burden being less in retirement, prob not the case any longer. The Roth benefit imho is the risk that taxes are going up in the future, to pay now and be unburdened later. In retirement you have zero deductions, tax burden will prob be higher. If your post retirement income is roughly the same, say 80% of pre retirement income, your taxes will prob be the same or higher.

I disagree somewhat. It depends on how much you need that money now (the tax savings of your traditional TSP contribution). You might be in a lower tax bracket in retirement, or you might not. But the biggest thing to remember is that everything is taxed in retirement in a traditional TSP (all you contributed and all of your earnings), while in the Roth TSP nothing is taxed. So if you earn $20,500 on that $20,500 investment this year, the total $41,000 will be taxed when you withdraw it from a Traditional TSP, and none of it will be taxed from a Roth TSP (aside from this year’s tax on the initial $20,500 investment). You will have to be in a much lower tax bracket to make up for being taxed on that extra $20,500. And if you are early in your career, you might double that investment 3 or 4 times by the time you withdraw it (not necessarily retire, but withdraw). So now you are taking about paying taxes on $20,500 this year, instead of on $82,000 or $164,000 when you withdraw.

@@christinemeers4858 absolutely. It all depends on many things: what the tax brackets are now vs in retirement; how much you earn on the investment before you withdraw it; how much you can afford the taxes now vs in retirement; and many many more factors. I am just trying to ensure you see that it’s possible you might be paying taxes on a LOT more money in the traditional vs the Roth, especially if you are earlier in your career. It’s certainly not all about what your tax bracket is now vs in retirement. I am one month from retirement after a 34 year career. Most of my money is in the traditional since the Roth wasn’t around for most of my career. But I have been 100% Roth since I’ve been able so that I have a pot of money that is non-taxable to give me options in retirement. Plus I will (hopefully) be withdrawing for 25+ years (I am 54, special provision, started at 19), so even my Roth contributions will have time to double once or maybe twice.

Does this guy think every Federal employee is making 6 figures???? Try maxing out your TSP at GS 8 or 9 or 11. People at these pay grades are lucky to meet the matching contributions, particularly with inflation. Yeah, its easy to max out if you are living in your parents basement and have no bills. This is obviously geared toward the six figure crowd. Ohband ask those Federal workers close to retirement who lost their shirts trying to double their money before the 2008 crash. This guy is dangerous. Stick with the TSP Lifecycle funds. Get the matching and try to add extra whenever you can. In the meantime consider paying down your mortgage before doubling down on the TSP. At least your house can keep you from living under a bridge.

Not everyone can or should follow every piece of advice he gives; everyone’s situation is a little different. (And having retired as a GS-9 myself, I never maxed out my TSP contribution either but I did generally contribute 10% or more to the TSP, for which I am grateful now.) But this guy gives solid education and generally great advice for federal employees and retirees. He is NOT dangerous; his videos provide a wealth of good information! And in fact in this video he points out that one should try to invest extra if possible during “down markets.” Which is what the stock market was during and AFTER the 2008 crash, not before. We are in a down market right now-which is not to say the stock market won’t go down more before it goes up again, but does make his advice worth considering.

You can withdraw all your money when you turn 59 1/2 .. No matter what happen to the Market you have your money Already :) Plus you still have Money in.. becoz you are still working..you continue deducting money from your Pay Check .. Bottom line is you have all your MONEY!! got it?

I understand contributing the max to the traditional but it seems contrary and like double taxation since the money is already taxed and then taxed again when ready to withdraw at retirement. Am I missing something?

You are missing something. Contributions to a traditional TSP in with pre tax dollars. This reduces your income and therefore reduces your taxes for the year. You pay the taxes when you start withdrawing from the account. Also known as deferring taxes. With Roth you pay taxes now on the contributions but never on the earnings over time

Regarding the Roth TSP, if you put money into it while working, the taxes are not deferred and you will be paying more taxes during your working years. Also add-in paying state taxes. That money you pay in taxes is not going to compound and grow like it is in the regular TSP. I guess it depends on each person's situation. But it seems to me that if your retirement income will be less that your working income, it makes more sense to put your money into the regular TSP. Especially if you plan on moving to a state that doesn't tax retirement income.

Another point of view is you can afford the taxes now rather than later when you are on a fixed income during retirement.

@@MrDarkBM true that each person's situation is different. Everyone should do the math and see how it ends up. Another thing is that seniors older than 65 get an additional tax deduction of $1750 (after the basic $12950 standard deduction). Social Security is only partially taxed. So if someone's pension is on the lower side they may hardly be taxed at all even including the TSP.

Why will it not compound and grow like a regular TSP? If you save $5000 this year in taxes by putting your investment into a traditional instead of Roth TSP, the only way you will make more money on that investment is if you invest that $5000 savings in another account. Then that will create earnings also. If you just take that tax break and spend it, your Roth will earn you just as much as your traditional (and you will also not pay taxes on any of the earnings in the Roth)
@rogerdoger9939

@@tomhall3440 I think the rational is that if you put $5000 in a Roth account, you paid taxes on the $5000. Thus it really cost you $5000 +. Where a traditional account it only cost you the $5000. So you have to earn enough to cover the additional amount. IMO, it doesn't matter "that" much. As long as you are contributing to a retirement account you will be in good shape. Roth or traditional, flip a coin.

I don’t understand how to put more money into TSP. It seems like I’m only allowed to put 5% in every paycheck and that’s it. I’ve been searching for months and none of my co workers know. I have more money to put in all the time. It just doesn’t seem possible.
