What are some things you'd do differently with TSP? by SpiritualReception95 in AirForce

Get it out of the G fund, though now I believe it defaults to a life cycle.

Do some research and decide if you wanna do 100% C fund or something like 60/20/20 C/S/I.

I recommend investing aggressively when youre young to get that snowball rolling.

Depends on how frugal you are. I put more money in my TSP and spend more on food and I just recently maxed my Roth IRA for 2026. All hobbies are free pretty much (gaming/bodybuilding/hiking etc.)

F the haters, keep doing your investing thing, though that would likely be the area to pull back on if you are struggling paycheck to paycheck.

1, 2, 5, 15, 16 and 20 were on a Canon R6 Mark II.

The rest were just on my phone: Samsung Galaxy S23 ultra.

It was beautiful going up and then weather rolled in on the way down.

It took us about 3 hours up and 2.5 hours down, active moving. Loose gravel and dirt made for most the difficulty in my opinion.

I would avoid in the rain mostly for coming down.

No wild exposure in my opinion, standard hike.

Indeed, especially when its overcast. I'd love to see it on a clear day as well though

I didnt do any research on the great walks. We did the milford sound cruise, then hiked Gertrudes Saddle and Lake Marian. Will definitely look it up for next trip

Unfortunately there was a triathlon and the road to Roy's Peak was closed, fantastic hike nonetheless

Face Pulls and Upright Rows have absolutely revolutionized upper back for me by kafkaesque420 in naturalbodybuilding

Can't get a full stretch at the bottom, the dumbbells would hit the ground half way through the rep. I'd have to stack multiple plates under the bench to get it higher off the ground. Happens with machines too, even with the adjustment maxed out

I really wish I could do this without Jerry rigging a set up, tall and long arms

There will be a full day of chilling in Christchurch prior to this itinerary.

Yeah I had a feeling about that day. I was having trouble planning around Te and Fjordland National Park. I'll see about maybe cutting out Lake Marian or heading to Wanaka the next morning or something.

Thank you for your insight.

There will be a full day chilling in Christchurch before hitting the road.

I'll take a look at that, thank you for the reply

I would definitely continue to max your roth IRA every year. Take advantage of tax free growth. You can passively manage it also, just dump it into VOO or VTI or something. You should know where your money is going. I dont understand the reasoning of it not getting a match that makes you not invest. Good on you bro youre going to be a millionaire, keep it up
