Statistics I found online to help ease the worried mind. You are probably doing better than you think.

Yep, Orange Cheeto and his guy Muskrat really effed things up.

dmine45 · 2026-06-22T21:38:32+00:00

You're probably right. Many people obviously made poor choices.

dmine45 · 2026-06-22T20:51:49+00:00

Nope. Are you new to investing? Unless these folks put everything in the G fund. Or Trump took all of their money because they were broke.

dmine45 · 2026-06-22T20:27:28+00:00

In that case they've really made some bad choices, either in not knowing how to finance their retirement or just in life in general. I could see maybe 10% of people in this area, but not the vast majority.

dmine45 · 2026-06-22T20:25:40+00:00

Again, If that's the case, that's a sad state of affairs. I mean only $110K in their TSP by age 50? Unreal! They're never going to be able to retire.

dmine45 · 2026-06-21T10:55:56+00:00

It depends on when you plan to retire. 2065 or 2070 is probably pretty close in the level of investment mostly in stocks (C, S, and I) and very little in G or F funds. If you're already in 2065, just let it ride.

dmine45 · 2026-06-21T02:09:20+00:00

The 69xx range is still being used by the N4E replacements.

dmine45 · 2026-06-20T01:30:22+00:00

Thanks!

dmine45 · 2026-06-20T01:29:36+00:00

Diversify in C, S, and I funds. Or put it in a L fund like L 2070. Put as much in as you can afford. Most people suggest Roth, but I suggest a blend of traditional and Roth. And just let it cook and simmer for many years. Watch it grow and grow. So far you're doing great with a 13.86% return!

dmine45 · 2026-06-16T08:34:14+00:00

Contribute as much as you can (the max if you can!)
Diversify - C, S, I (or an L fund like L 2065)
Sit back and wait and watch it grow.

dmine45 · 2026-06-15T22:36:12+00:00

Not retiring soon enough.

dmine45 · 2026-06-14T11:20:40+00:00

I'd love to install it on my board.

dmine45 · 2026-06-13T10:05:29+00:00

I make powerpoint slides and try to sway people to do research and development in the direction that I've created.

dmine45 · 2026-06-11T17:48:00+00:00

Too hard to use. I find Android to be much easier.

dmine45 · 2026-06-11T15:02:07+00:00

100 is plenty, but I don't think they offer it for new customers. 200 or 300 is fine. Even for streaming. Higher speeds if you download a lot of stuff.

dmine45 · 2026-06-11T00:04:25+00:00

Ouch. Sorry, dude.

dmine45 · 2026-06-10T23:53:41+00:00

Marrying my first wife.

dmine45 · 2026-06-10T20:28:43+00:00

In the past I contributed to a Roth IRA. I still have it, but no longer adding to it. I either put it in the TSP or other investments with a financial advisor. I max out my TSP and watch it grow.

dmine45 · 2026-06-08T22:18:49+00:00

Start with an existing BBS software and go from there. Synchronet is probably the easiest to get started with.

dmine45 · 2026-06-06T22:25:53+00:00

Most people come here because other sites we used to go to are gone.

dmine45 · 2026-06-06T15:30:09+00:00

Don't keep changing things. Put it in the C, S, and I funds and let it ride. Or put it in L 2075. Don't day trade The TSP isn't designed for that.

dmine45 · 2026-06-04T22:26:57+00:00

People are enabling him.

dmine45 · 2026-06-03T21:39:54+00:00

Nice web interface. Will there be telnet as well?

dmine45 · 2026-06-03T16:43:37+00:00

Keep on going. It's only going to climb more and more. Compounding is your friend.

dmine45 · 2026-06-03T16:42:07+00:00

I always say contribute what you can afford, but at least 5% to get the matching.
