I have a question regarding Roth TSP. I currently live in Washington (no state tax) If you built up your Roth TSP and when you retired decided to move to a state with state tax for whatever reason; Would your withdrawals from the Roth be taxed by the state? From my understanding of the Roth TSP it a...

I would say that what you have done is definitely better than leaving it in the G fund. The two more prevelant strategies on this forum are the daily seasonal and the monthly seasonal with the daily being a newer idea. You should read two threads first to get a good understanding of the seasonal con...

Wow this thread took a turn downhill. Anyways, I am going to keep putting out FINANCIAL advice on a FINANCIAL forum that might be able to help someone SAVE some MONEY no matter what your age.

No. She will be raising a family at that point so I will be providing insurance for everyone. This one is tough. I see the point that you could save up to 6750x5 (assuming you go for the family option for 5 years) which would get you close to 34k (including interest and growth or more), however, th...

I figured if you could make a site as good as tspcalc you probably had future plans in mind. Don't sweat it at all. We are all very happy with what you have developed so far.

So I was talking to a friend today about tspcalc and we got into conversation about how tspcalc comes up with the different strategies. Basically people are just manually optimizing the data.
