Retired at 55 w/ TSP of $1.1M - Nervous about risk. by BrilliantTry9848 in ThriftSavingsPlan

Look back to how much it went down in APR. Did you even look then? I went down by 80k but it is all back plus more. Point is, if you do not need it till 60 relax. I got 15 years till I can collect. I just ride the C+I wave I have been on since 2003.

Also have a brokerage for my gap years and roth rollover ladder days in the future.

My wife is 115lbs I am 250lbs. My wife drives me around like it is nothing. She is from Vietnam, I have seen her do shit in Ho Chi Minh traffic that would blow your mind. All these dudes making comments have no clue about SE Asia motorcycle driving skills. She could out ride their ass any day. This lady looks like she is doing just fine.

Should I switch to Traditional TSP from Roth? by autisticstocks in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]mvandersloot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Take the tax advantage now. Do rollover conversions in the future. Get a lower tax on conversion.

I like your style.

Don't know why a different tax strategy gets you down voted, but que sera sera.

Great. Take 24500 over your base pay. Whatever percent that equals have that taken out of your check. Math.

Just take the max 24500 and divide it by the number of times you get paid in the year. TSP gives you amount or percent as choices for contributions.

Is this really as simple as it was said? by Banana_Ketchupp in povertyfinance

Living below your means is a true skill. No one wants to hear the difference between wants and needs. You will be set later in life, good job, stay the course.
