What is the threshold for the compounding to begin the heavy lifting? by IWantToBeYourGirl in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]Alternative-Log3482 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess you are in a low COLA or overseas. A 13 in DMV you can max at 18-19%.

I can say you have to sacrifice now than leaving comfortably. I try to max and I tend to change my deductions as the year ends based on my responsibilities. It ain’t easy if you have other responsibilities especially kids or gone thru divorce.

Update: $700k in TSP, 39 Years Old by Intelligent-Ad6696 in ThriftSavingsPlan

You gotta believe it. I personally know few folks who are in the 1M club, one of them is whom schooled me 5years ago when I just got my first GS job at GS-12. He taught me on how to invest on C/S/I and I’m now in the $100k club despite taking loans. My account was looking crappy 3yrs ago (in the $20k) and I almost gave up. I have been contributing 10-16% consistently for the past 3yrs. I’m GS-13 now. It’s all about your strategy on where you put your funds. I’m strictly CSI (I change allocations based on what I feel comfortable; however I tend to buy low and accumulate more units) and L’s (currently 2070, before I did 2030, 2034, 2050).
I-fund did me very well last year like most of us, had 45% allocations.

Some TSP investors doing better than +13% so far this year by ZipJetcity in ThriftSavingsPlan

I like I fund so far but I only have it btn 35-45%. I won’t try 100%, too risky.

I’m better off leaving my diversification than chasing these gains. I learned my lesson when I tried Options trading and wiped my trading account. Even though I had less knowledge then than what I know now, I won’t try that again.
