Can't believe this site is free...

Post by dseery »

Thanks so much for your awesome site!! You have given me confidence to navigate investing, even though I am quite naive about the market. Following advice of your generous members on the forums, I have achieved a return since joining last July that is likely better than any investment-saavy advisor I could hire. Go seasonal (and daily strategies)! Thanks Mjedlin66 and others! I have told my co-workers about TSP Center. I hope this site stays running for decades to come. If ever, due to finances, TSP center must face the choice of shutting down or charging an annual fee, please, please, choose the latter! You are totally worth it.

After seeing the banner at the top of the page requesting donations to TSP Center, for the 100th time, today finally I just made a modest donation to the site.

All the best, Diane

Unfortunately requiring a subscription is a catch 22.

Webmasters want their website to grow. Free content allows big growth. That's why I rely on donations at the moment.

King appears to rely on donations plus some ad revenue. He may also receive sponsorship from professional TSP advisers, but I am not sure.

Thanks dseery/Diane! Any donations/revenue from this site goes to hosting the site. In fact, King still subsidizes the cost of running the site. Thanks again!

Does TSP center have any other payment options than a monthly subscription? I know it is a very small amount, but I don't like subscriptions of any type that you have to remember to turn off.

Go to "My Fantasy" page. At the very top there should be a "Donate to TSP Center" link.

Interesting thread. It is true I lose money every month on tsp center. I don't plaster donate links everywhere and don't monitize professional tsp services. I chalk the nominal co-location cost of a dedicated server ($200/mo) to hobbying. All good, I hope some find value in it and i enjoy keeping it running. Wish I had more time to be involved...
