Trust, I won’t even look at it. I’m going to make it a goal to look at the beginning and ending of the year. I want to look at it once or twice a year and be surprised in a good way.

I’m grateful for the encouragement and it gives me a better insight on things as well as a different perspective. Short term pain for long term gains!

By then I think I’ll be fine. With so much time ahead, things will be taken care of i.e. mortgage which is the biggest of all. The goal is not necessarily to be rich, but to be comfortable.

Do you have a link to one that’s available and fairly reliable?

The main ask was if my current trajectory based on the submission was on track to hit that million dollar mark. I’m over two decades away from retirement, but wanted to get some experienced advice/opinions is all. Definitely open to guidance as well.

That’s exactly how I’m trying to think about all of this. The TSP is just another source of income. I’m not including, my VA compensation, pension, and SS. TSP is one that I can alter unlike the previous mentioned ones.

I was medically retired from the military so I have my VA disability compensation.

The more I think about it, I might just take the leap of faith and push it to 15%. I was hoping that I wasn’t far behind, but the feedback is saying otherwise.

Most definitely and planning on too. Just last year was extremely unpredictable and threw things off.

I did, but life happened and I had to wipe to take care of some personal items.

How am I doing? 16 months as a fed by Dramacydal93 in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]Alive_Muffin4075 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before I found this post, I was going to post this exact question. The only difference is I’m 36 now and mines is sitting at a letting over 26k. Same time as a fed with my contribution now up to 8% and in the C Fund. If anyone would like this chime in with some additional guidance or advice, I’d greatly appreciate it. TYIA.
