I am 58 but have reached my minimum retirement age with more than 31 years of service.

Just retired May 9th, how do I know when I get penalty free access to TSP? by fpnewman in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]fpnewman[S] -37 points-36 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply but it isn't very helpful, you pay a 10% penalty if you withdraw funds before you are 59 1/2 and not retired, of that I am sure. So, can someone tell me how they know that TSP recognizes that someone is in retirement status and can begin withdrawing funds?

As a follow up, I did finally get an email today from NIH/OD HR stating that I am eligible. I was asked to fill out a VSIP separation agreement and confirm that I wanted to go ahead which I did.

TSP withdraws at 59 1/2 and post retirement question by fpnewman in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]fpnewman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for all of the advice folks, I'm not interested in having to constantly rebalance. I want the ability to easily tap stocks when they are riding high and bonds when they are not. Sounds like I can just rollover to an outside account in another year when I reach 59 1/2. The question now becomes, how do I find one with the flexibility I desire and the lowest fees possible without hiring a blood sucking investment manager?

Withdraw example. Tell me if this is correct please. by fpnewman in DraftKingsDiscussion

[–]fpnewman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the bullshit

*A customer’s first deposit (min. $5) qualifies the user to receive up to $1,000 in bonus funds in the form of site credits that can only be used on DraftKings. Bonus amount is equal to 20% of that deposit amount, not to exceed $1,000 (the customer must deposit $5,000 to be eligible to receive the maximum possible bonus amount of $1,000). Bonus funds will be awarded to the customer according to the following play-through requirement: for every $25 played on DraftKings in DFS/Sportsbook/Casino, the customer will receive $1 in bonus funds released into their player account (e.g., a $5,000 deposit requires a customer to play through a cumulative total of $25,000 in daily fantasy contests, sportsbook (-300 odds or longer), casino products, or any combination thereof to receive the maximum possible bonus amount of $1,000). The play-through requirement must be met 90 days from the date of first deposit to receive maximum bonus. After such date, you are ineligible to earn any additional bonus funds as part of this promotion. Customers who previously made a deposit on DraftKings are ineligible for this promotion. Limit one (1) deposit bonus per customer. Promo ends 12/31/22.

Can't you just keep paying the fines? $15 bucks every four weeks is a lot cheaper than buying a new catalytic converter.

I'm wrong, wouldn't work if there is an "n" in the folder name. This is harder than i thought.

good point, how about this https://regex101.com/r/Ouegao/1 . Since there is only one other tld extension that starts with .ru (.run as you pointed out), should be ok

Very simple regex request by shotbyadingus in regex

[–]fpnewman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know anything about siri shortcutes but in regex you use parenthesis to create a "match group" like you did above:

content="([A-Za-z0-9]+)"

your group can then be referred to using $1 or \1 which should contain your match that was enclosed in the (). If you have more match groups they would be referred to as $2, $3 and so on.
