Re: Welcome to TSP Center
Hey All,
I'm in Fort Worth, TX. So glad to find a site like this. Hoping to put some of the research I've found to the test and see if it can really make a difference to my TSP. Also seems like a great place to interact with others focused in this, looking forward to the Fatasy TSP.

Hey all!
I'm from the Nashville-area, rural mail carrier for the Post Office. Glad to find such a wonderful site, and doing my best to stick to a seasonal strategy. I adopted 7960 to start out, and am currently in the G fund. All the best to y'all!

Re: Welcome to TSP Center
Hi all,
I'm a civilian employee for HHS, (IHS). I've been on board for 6 years and mistakenly didn't pay attention re: TSP during orientation. So, I've been enrolled in the G fund the entire time. I'm better informed and motivated to improve my chances of having a better retirement balance when I retire in 7 years. I've switched allocation to the L2030 but would like some advice on what steps I might take to further my cause. I'm looking forward to interacting with everyone on this site!
Thanks,
Glen

Welcome Glen!
If you look at the L Fund composition L-2030 has 38.75% in G&F and the rest in C,S & I https://www.tsp.gov/InvestmentFunds/Fun ... L2030.html To me that is a little conservative if you got a late start and are still working. My advice would be to contribute as much as you can for the next 7 years and get a general understanding of the different funds and stock market in general. Take a look at Atrius' Seasonal Musings 2018: http://tspcenter.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=68314 Another site I like is http://www.tspallocation.com/ There are many different approaches but you need to figure out what your risk tolerance is and what approach you feel comfortable with in managing your TSP. There are also paid services available that you can subscribe too for a fee but I haven't tried any so I don't know if any are worth the fee they charge.
Wishing you many positive returns

Re: Welcome to TSP Center
Morning everyone, from Oregon and work for the USFS for 19 years. I have 7-10 years until I retire and am looking for insight on how to maximize my TSP like everyone else.
Take care.
Take care.
Re: Welcome to TSP Center
I literally just heard about this site this afternoon. I've always been interested in investing, but never fully understood everything about it, and never knew where to begin. Any help where to start would be appreciated.
Re: Welcome to TSP Center
Welcome! Feel free to ask any questions you might have. A lot of very knowledgeable folks are here, so you're sure to find some solid answers. Just try not to feed the trolls that wander by now and then.
