Please keep in mind 9 states that normally have income taxes (e.g. NY, Pennsylvania) DO NOT tax the traditional TSP as they consider part of your civil servants pension. If you move the TSP money into an IRA at say Vanguard, Fidelity, etc... you will lose this special tax break and will now have to pay state taxes on the money when withdrawn. This is something you should be aware of before you transfer any monies out of the TSP.

Great advice Mark. Thank you for sharing! We didn't cover this in the video but it's something we chat to our clients about. Have a great day!

I plan on doing the same thing as your husband. In fact I transferred all of my prior retirement accounts before working for the federal government into the TSP to consolidate as well as take advantage of the low management fees. "The retirement gamble" by Frontline give a great explanation of how fees can destroy gains. I lost my defined benefit pension from a catholic hospital due to lawyers management of getting the hospital out of that benefit to it's employees. I also do not like annuities. They are complex contracts that benefit the insurance companies that offer them. (Insurance companies play on fear and greed to sell that product). I plan to start taking RMD's when I reach that age and when I die my wife or our children will get what ever is left over. Thank you for making that video. I felt it was an honest presentation.

TSP retirement tip #1. Don't talk to any financial advisor about transferring your TSP.

I had mine in G fund and that was a big mistake. Then I tried C and S fund and that was increasing my account really nice, but I only put a small percentage to try. Right now, i wish i had put 80% on C fund. I just diversified my account to C, S, I. Im scared cuz no fund in going in since im no longer with Federal. Hopefully my C, S, I mix will pay off.

TSP expense ratios used to be the best in the industry 20 years today. Today the TSP fund costs are terrible when compared to equivalent index funds at Fidelity or Vanguard. To stay in TSP due to its "low costs" is to not understand how to compare fees. Its not a good reason to remain in TSP, though there are other reasons

It is also harder to take the funds off from TSP. Too much paperwork.

Military retiree, The TSP inheritance rules are so bad for grandchildren by doing a IRA rollover then backdoor Roth my granddaughters probably will not even realize the gift I did for them. No lump sum tax burden for them now.

What are you going to do with your TSP when you retire?
@benjaminjohnson16939 ай бұрын
I plan on leaving 25% of the total tax deferred amount in the G Fund and transferring the rest to my IRAs (Roth TSP to Roth IRA, and tax deferred TSP to traditional IRA). Vanguard has lower expense ratios for my stock allocations, but the G Fund is a great cash option and is available only to TSP participants.

Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got to talking about investment and money. I started investing with $150k and in the first 2 months, my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and get more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family.

@@johnbelt5204 Yes but it's not as generous as yours. New military retirement is called BRS Blended Retirement System which provides TSP match after 2 years of service. Pension multiplier dropped from 2.5 to 2.0 so IICR instead of 50% pension, BRS gets 40%. BRS with 5% TSP match benefits ~85% of service members who don't reach 20 years.
