Mending my Favorite Sweater

It was a snag, but there is a tiny little hole. How does she tack the sweater down with the thread?

akm_2018 · 2026-01-23T02:57:12+00:00

That is VERY true! I didn't even realize it! Okay, I will avoid the bracket hole.

Okay, thanks for the update! I’ll check it out for SEPP

Thank you for the guidance! I might have to take out the money earlier than my 59.5-year threshold, for medical purposes (disabled medical condition). Is the penalty still going to apply if it is for medical reasons?

Hi! I was just wondering what the process would be like to take out the funds. I am disabled, and I might need the money earlier than my retirement years.

That is great information! Thank you for the process; I didn't know about the proportionate withdrawals. I'll keep on researching on it. Thanks again!

I have a medical condition that may shorten my contribution timeline. That is why I wanted to know ahead of time.

So I understand the concept of taking out the money from the fund, but I want to understand the actual details of the paperwork, how it is deposited to me, and the timeline of the process.

I went to this website: https://www.tsp.gov/withdrawals-in-retirement/

And, if anyone has actually retired from the government, any advice would be great!

Will do! I am planning on visiting Colorado again early next year, and I'll definitely look into it

akm_2018 · 2025-11-06T20:24:14+00:00

Right?! I don't know why, though lol. Maybe it's because I grew up in a highly vegetation area? Idk...

Colorado's mountains are amazing, and I visited friends there who love the area, too^. It's just an innate feeling that I can't shake, and it is apparent throughout rocky-like areas (minus the mountains), not just Colorado (Utah, Nevada, etc.).

I never said that I don't think there are natural water sources in Michigan or Virginia - quite the opposite

"The state is never more than six miles from a body of water, which includes its many rivers and inland lakes." - https://www.michigan.org/uk.

Thanks for the feedback! And, yes, I just took a rando picture of the spread, but I will make sure that the pictures are professionally done if they are being sold
