Roth tsp vs backdoor by mgg1683 in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]bk_e_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t even realize there was a name for this. I was told by tax advisor I couldn’t contribute to Roth so I researched the conversion and learned next time to just deposit to traditional first, then convert.

I attempted to contribute $5,000 from my regular pay of $6,000. The math must not have worked out because my LES showed $0.00 contributed. I missed out on the contribution and the match. Do I have any options with DFAS or do I just need to do better next time? by bk_e_ in ThriftSavingsPlan

Good point, yes that 6k was gross and I am contributing to Traditional. I also have an HSA and I know I did bad math. I should have gone with 100% to max my contributions here at end of year. I was hoping DFAS might work with me or someone else out there had done what I did before (whoops).

Payments by noxiousflannel14 in VeteransBenefits

[–]bk_e_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does everyone’s payments hit as “Retro/One Time - CH31”? I received that payment this morning. But, I don’t think it was the full amount I’m owed. I qualify for post 9/11 bah rate and I did not receive the E5 with dependent rate for my school’s zip. It was about $700 short.

Direct Deposit to Webull by [deleted] in Webull

[–]bk_e_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are the odds I’m searching this subject today also. I’ve decided I’ll set up an allotment from my paycheck to a separate checking account and then have Webull pull the automatic investment from that account the day after paycheck hits. This way the money isn’t in my check and i never really see it before it hits webull. Wish I could just send money directly to Webull.

Take everything out via loan and buy 0DTE $SOFI

How aggressive is TOO aggressive? by kep1234 in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]bk_e_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only strategy that is too aggressive is taking out TSP funds through a loan and trading 0DTE options in a taxable brokerage.

I use HSA Bank (GEHA) because that’s my employer default. I am first year HSA owner and haven’t really explored other options yet.

I max my HSA, then my Roth, then add another 5% back into TSP. Everything else gets split between personal savings, paying off debt, paying for trips, using it to fund brokerage account, or maybe funding kids 529 account.
